Raven's Blog | September 2, 2010
I have not written a blog in God knows how long. Awesome, I probably have just offended someone already by saying in "God knows how long". Why that would offend anyone, let alone God is beyond me. How could God be offended? If I said even God would have no idea, that he might take umbrage at because obviously, he would know how long its been. But since I didnt write that, the only person who might possibly have any reason to be offended would perhaps be the Rainman, or some other autistic savant who would also know how long its been since I last wrote a blog and they might feel as if "hey, God isnt the only one who knows, I know as well" because that would be in their purview if in fact they actually read my blogs to begin with. Speaking of the Rainman, the actual Rainman, the one the movie is based on; he is the cutest person you've ever seen. If you ever watch the science channel, or one of those type of channels, you may have seen him. He is fucking brilliant. He is emotionally stunted like no one's business but my God (oops, I did it again) he is amazing. He has 97% retention of everything he reads. That is mind boggling. He reads a book by reading left eye left page, right eye right page and does it at the same time in about a second or two. It really is fascinating and if you've you seen him, he is so lovable, and adorable, you'd want to take him home.
Before moving on, there is also another savant who is usually on the same program who they took in a helicopter over Rome (I think it was) and flew him over the city for like 30 minutes or less (I think they may have been delivering a pizza as well) and then he drew the entire city in perfect detail and perspective. That is freaking mind boggling.
Now onto a few other things, then wrestling. My friend has a jewelry company that makes the absolute most badass jewelry you have ever seen. You may have seen my link or whatever those banner things are called on my website to his site which is called hotbikerjewelry.com. Ironically, the style of jewelry is very biker-ish. Lots of skulls and shit. Very nice . I know a lot of you have commented on the sweet ring and matching pendant I've been wearing; well I got it from there. I got my wife some badass fleur de lis earrings and I'm getting a few more things in the near future. The best thing about them is they go up to ring size 18.5 at least. As a member of the large fingered community (which also means large hands, which is also probably one of the reasons my wife loves me) I have never been able to wear rings because they never fit. So its pretty sweet to be able to wear not just a ring that fits, but also a ring that I want to wear, as opposed to just taking whatever fits and making do. As anyone who knows me, I am very stylish in my own particular style, and I wont wear crap. Plus crap is uncomfortable and smells. Check out his site. I highly recommend it and mention I sent you. Or dont, see if I care.
Next item:
Streets of Fire-great movie. I just re-watched it last night and it is still awesome. It is viewable at netflix. It is a rock and roll fable (their words, not mine, but I concur). The acting is more wooden than George Washington's teeth, but wow, I loved it. Its about, you know what, I'll let netflix tell ya.
Streets of Fire
(1984) PG
Tough ex-soldier Tom Cody (Michael Paré) springs into action when a depraved motorcycle gang kidnaps his former girlfriend, Ellen (Diane Lane), who's now a famous singer. Besides being pitted against the gang's leader (a memorable Willem Dafoe), Cody must contend with Ellen's manager (Rick Moranis). The film's pulsating soundtrack features rockin' tunes by Stevie Nicks, Ry Cooder and the Blasters.
Genre:Action Thrillers
This movie is:Mind-bending, Gritty
Look out for a young Bill Paxton minus a tooth, as well as dance music singer of moderate fame, Elizabeth (or E.G.) Daily, who interestingly enough was married to Rick Salomon, he of the Paris Hilton naughty video fame, and was dating 80's model stud actor Jon-Erik Hexum when he blew his brains out with a gun with blanks. That should teach you kiddies, even a gun with blanks is dangerous. I could make a double entendre here but I wont, mainly because I'm too lazy. Also appearing are, one of my favorite comedian/actor/directors, Robert Townshend (comic genius and lousy dancer) and last but not least, one of my favorite songs/videos from the 80's, the ubiquitous monster smash hit, "I can dream about you" by Dan Hartman; and if you ever wondered where that video came from to that song, its this movie.
I have some very sad news. My rottweiler Lucian, the greatest dog on the face of the earth came down with a brain tumor. He was only a little over 2 years old. I will never forget him and neither will my wife. He taught me how to truly care for something other than myself. I dont write this because I want a lot of response on it because I dont. In fact I would prefer that there is zero response to this and no you wont get over with me if you see me and give me condolences. In fact, you'll probably piss me off. The only reason I mention it in a public forum is because I want it known that he was the most wonderful and funny and intelligent and goofy and loving son a person could ever have and he deserves that in print for all the world to see. I will always love you and miss you Lucian.
We have since gotten a new dog because neither of us could handle the emptiness. I am happy to say Gabriel, our new Staffordshire bull terrier or Pit Bull is a joy and a wonder as well. We cant replace Lucian, but we couldnt have found a better dog in his stead.
Now wrestling:
Its been a blast kicking the crap out of Tommy Dreamer again.
I would like to point out a few of my current wrestling pet peeves. It could be written more clearly and concisely but I dont have much time before I have to go out of town but I wanted to get them off my chest.
A) Chairshots to the head should only be banned if you dont know how to throw one properly. A suplex can be deadly in the wrong hands. If you throw a chair shot correctly, or know how to bump so the chair shot only grazes you hard enough to make a noise, they are fine. It is idiots who swing for the fences or morons who dont bump with them that should be banned.
B) I guarantee you that more concussions are had by wrestlers from endless nonsensical high spots that the sheets promote as making a better match than chair shots to the head.
C) I guarantee you that more concussions are had by wrestlers from working strong style that the sheets promote as making a better match than chair shots to the head.
D) Dreamer's kids have been actresses since about 2 years old. They know what acting is. They were introduced to Tommy's friend Scotty (thats me) before the match and told that is was all acting. After the show, all bloody, I went up and talked to the girls to see if they were ok. They were laughing and said they had a great time. They thought the whole thing was a blast. Huh? But how could that be? Dont they have to be traumatized? Ever think that each case is a little different and should be treated as such. How bout giving Tommy credit for being a wonderful father who would never harm his little girls for the world and made sure they knew exactly what would happen ahead of time, and if he for an instant thought it would be problematic, he would have left that spot out completely.
E) Get some f@#king facts before you disparage shit.
For example 1): One of the guys they put over for looking good and cleaning up was the only person f@#ked up out of his gourd which was obvious to anyone watching a Tv except them.
For example 2): For years the sheets would always say, how come so and so always happens to have the right pair of keys to open the handcuffs when they would be handcuffed allowing them to escape at the most fortuitous moments? What they didnt know, nor decided to look into was that all f@#king handcuff keys are the same. Yet they spent years dogging any and all matches when someone would happen to have keys to escape. The sheets arent always right. They thought Sean Waltman early in his career was one of the greatest wrestlers in the world. Same with Sabu. A couple years later, when both actually became the incredible workers the sheets thought they had been (which both Sean and Sabu will tell you, they werent nearly as good as they became and the sheets were wrong), the sheets are shitting on both for not being as good as they used to be because they didnt have the kind of matches the sheets wanted, non stop action without a story. In Hollywood, movies with non stop action and no stories are called crap. The sheets are quite often wrong, and there is a word for people who follow them without thinking for themselves, it is sheep.
F) The sheets crapped on the former ECW guys who werent in shape, but decry when wrestlers used steroids. Make up your mind. Benoit who until he became a double murderer was the biggest steroid user in the business and without steroids he never would have had a career, yet he was never buried for it. Other guys were. Dont you love people who pick and choose their favorites when condemning society.
G) Finally to all the sheet writers, if you were really as strongly convicted about stopping all the deaths in wrestling, you'd stop watching wrestling and supporting such a horrible business, you'd stop making money off it, you would try and get your readers to stop watching, and you would fight for what you claim to believe in, like getting us health care or what not. But no, you prefer to sit in your ivory tower decrying every death, then writing all about it waiting for the next death and continue to line your pocketbooks like the carpetbaggers you are. Which makes you pompous, holier than thou assholes.
My fingers hurt. Time to start doing video blogs.
