If I Only Could, I'd Set the World on Fire

Before you ask, no I'm not a terrorist....


I'm a terrifying terrorist!


So I want to try and keep things with this blog "real." As in, real about me and what I feel. With that said I read an article yesterday that stated obese people help increase global warming. Really now? Now, I'm not involved really in politics whatsoever, so frankly my dear, I don't give a damn about Democrats and Republicans and if Al Gore "made up" global warming. I like to believe in realistic things, and yes I see global warming as a very real thing. Not something that will essentially affect society in the next 10-20 years, but something that has greater long term concern. I know am beginning to think extreme stretches are being made, to prove the point of global warming. The obese being a contributor is one of them. Ok, sure obese people may eat more, and them eating more causes the food providers to eat more gas, which in turns releases toxic fumes in the air. Come on, who had time to sit and think that all out. I believe there are much more pressing things to be worrying about. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I already believe in global warming, why are they going to these lengths?

Ok enough of my grumbling. This past Tuesday on the Mayhem Show, we had interviews with GQ Money, and Pittsburgh own radio DJ/professional wrestler Bubba the Bulldog. Both interviews went swimmingly and I personally learned a good bit from both of them. You can download them on iTunes or our website

Last night I revisited my cooking skills and whipped up some tasty Chicken Marsala for the Girl and her parents. I wasn't sure I still had it, and the process wasn't the same but the end result sure was. Good eatin'!



This Saturday is the STEEL CITY WRESTLEFEST down at the Rostraver Ice Garden in Belle Vernon, PA. (About 30-45 min south of the burgh) Bubba the Bulldog himself is going to be taking on hometown hero Kurt Angle in an 8 year and counting grudge match. Other talent consists of former WWE stars Joey Mercury and Chris Masters and Pittsburgh legend Bruno Sammartino. As well as many local talent in Jason Gory Shiima Xion, Scottie Gash, Sterling James Keenan and many more. It looks to be a really good show and yours truly is going to be there for it. Hope some of you make it out.

Well I feel as I have rambled for far too long and someone will most likely yell for it being too long...oh well.

Until next time.

Prelude to CHAOS

Government stimulus checks. Since the announcement of this little nugget of "green gold" confusion and misunderstanding has not been very far behind.

"When are the checks getting sent?"

"Whats the last two digits of your social security number?"

"Did you have your refund direct deposited?"

All questions I have fielded in the past weeks countless times. What a program. Someone wasn't thinking clearly when they discussed the "how do we get the money to the people" By the sounds of it, program manager most likely said,

"Eh, minor details my good sir. We'll figure something out" *sigh*

Don't get me wrong, I am excited for "free money", however as a 22 year old living on my own I have acquired some "debt", and instead of stimulating the economy I am pulling myself towards even. Really then, who all is going to use the check to splurge on objects, who all is going to conserve it, who is going to debt pay, who is going to use it so they only have to pay just an arm, instead of both it and a leg for gas?

Fun

Oh yeah,

GO PENS!

Welcome to My Life

So another week draws to a close. It's Thursday, and I believe this is when I wrote my last entry. Perhaps, I should make this a Thursday thing.....Hmmmm, we will see.

Yesterday, Scott proposed an interesting question via Twitter that asked, "Who would you want to narrate your life?" Upon reading this immediately the first name that popped into mind for myself was Morgan Freeman. He has one of those calm collected voices, that makes you just want to listen. Yet with just the intonation alone, he can go from serious to funny to playful and back to serious. Just watch the difference from God in the "Almighty" movies to Mob boss in "Lucky Number Slevin." See how he changes from talking about flightless birds in "March of the Penguins" to talking murder with Brad Pitt in "Se7en"

Or even here which is a great scene from "Shawshank Redemption."


Make you feel inspired? I am. But I could picture my life as being told in that voice whether it be the highest peaks, or the lowest valleys. It's just one of those things that "feel right."

Back to reality! Jennie and I saw "The Forbidden Kingdom" last night. It's the newer kung fu sensation out now, featuring movie star martial art legends Jackie Chan and Jet Li. As I know it, this is the first movie the two have ever done together. (If I am wrong please correct me). That said, this movie is a testament in that rite alone. Seeing the trailer made me eager to watch this as it seemed to be filled with your typical fantasy, Oriental Legend, and Kung Fu action. Little did the trailer lead on, there are very horrible scene cuts! That aside, it was a pleasant movie but I found to be typical and pretty predictable (which movie really isn't these days?) One of the funniest scenes, as quoting my friend Alan, consists of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and urination. I laughed a good bit at that one. Revisiting my old rating system from the Wrestling Mayhem Show, the Doc Rem-o-meter, I give this movie a "Jimbo" (4 out of 5)

Well thats all I have for the 5 of you today. Time to come down from cloud nine.
