Raven's Log | Whatever the fuck today is "That was Zen, This is Tao"
This journal entry is being written off the top of my head because I'm going to England for eleven days and I don't have time to write one, so Vic and I are just going to wing it.
First off, you're a bunch of malcontents. How come we ain't getting no entries in our stupid contest? Here we go to all the trouble of having a lovely little contest and we are getting very few entries in it. Does no one want to be Ms. Raven Effect 2005? What's the matter? Aren't I good enough for you people? Whatever. I would like to thank Vrekasht for the lovely necklace she sent me and mod NineSixTwo for the picture and a special thanks to Lizzie for the autographed Page and Plant lyrics (not Diamond Dallas Page, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant). I shave, not wax and I get my nails done for five dollars at the Oriental nail salon across the street. I used to paint my nails myself; it was a time consuming laborious task, but I took pride in my lousy work. Of course, then I found out it was only a measly five bucks to get it done professionally and now I take pride in their work. Once again, you people have astounded me with phenomenal information. Much to my chagrin, Cocoa Puffs cannot actually be used as a lethal weapon. However, the article discussing this is beyond fascinating. Everyone should read it, the address is http://www.bayarea.net/~pvc/steve/puff.html and thank you Vrekasht for bringing it to my attention.
I thought envy said it best while watching the "One Night in Chyna" video, "Was that an oboe? Where did that clapping come from ... What backwoods crap is this?" or put even more succinctly by my close personal associate, Vic, "Bizarro camera angles, whips and cigarettes and off cue moaning -- sounds more like an experiment in Dadaist filmmaking."
For those of you who'd like me to discuss the ECW DVD, I shall. I thought that Paul Heyman's words throughout the DVD really explained the heart of the matter. His words for me were especially touching because I've always known how I felt about our relationship, but I never truly knew what he felt. In fact, we talked on the phone after I watched it for the first time in years and it was one of the more important phone calls I've had in my life. It finally gave me closure on one of the most important chapters of my career. Suffice to say, without Paul E. I couldn't have done what I did and vice versa, he feels the same way. It truly is a waste that they're not using him and more unfortunate for the fans that they're paying him enough to sit home instead of doing something else creatively in wrestling. I thought the DVD did as phenomenal a job as it possibly could have in the three hours or whatever the hell it was, I thought there was far too much Dudleyz and Tazz. However, since the Dudleyz and Tazz work for the WWE and Raven, Sabu and Shane Douglas don't, I guess I can see why. I didn't watch the second DVD of the matches because I've already seen 'em all. However, if someone can give me a good reason why I should rewatch them, perhaps I shall. In fact, someone said, there is a good alternate commentary with my all-time favorite sidekick, Stevie Richards (tied for first place with Lodi) or is there not? As far as the Dudleyz and Tazz, even though they drew more money and more people during that time frame, they weren't as influential and because they weren't as influential, in my opinion, it wasn't as important. In fact, part of the reason I left the first time, was because their influence had started to wane dramatically. I thought it was interesting that as the Dudleyz talk about their most important day, them leaving, it was only as an aftethought that they mention the return of Raven and its pretty well documented by Dreamer and everyone else that the two biggest pops in company history were the return of Raven and the return of Sandman. Although, personally, I found my pop was way bigger than Hackie's (Sandman). Probably the 3rd biggest and another personal favorite was the pop for Gordy when he first appeared. I was in the ring waiting for him and the pop was just unbelievable. It started and built to a crescendo that was so loud that I had goosebumps sitting in the ring waiting for him. Enough reminiscing.
I saw "National Treasure" the other day. Really good movie. "Carnivale" is tremendous this season. "24" rocks the monkey wrench and I'm tired of dictating.
