Get a load of this crap. Disney is going to phase out smoking in all of it's movies because it wants to promote healthier living. What the hell happened to this country? When did we all become a bunch of pussies who were afraid of everything. I mean before all this health stuff started, people were perfectly fine eating foods high in salt and fat. People also smoked like chimney's and for the most part were fine. Yeah yeah there's the whole cancer risk but you know what if you light up then you know the risk's all ready.
I really hate the anti-smoking people especially those TRUTH ones. I don't smoke, but if it didn't cost almost $7 a pack here in New York I'd be smoking just to spite you all.
And say what you want about smoking, but I've seen family members with my own eyes get sick because they quit smoking. So they were healthier when they were smoking. But oh no we can't have smoking in movies because God forbid little Johnny or Susie lights up .
I mean what kind of crap is it when the MPAA wants to rate movies based on whether people are smoking and the kind of smoking it is. You know this is why the European's laugh at us. They look at how much we get our collective panties in a bunch over the smallest things and just laugh.
Oh you American's your to up tight to show nudity in films but you have no problem with blood and gore.
Just drives me nuts. Well take away smoking. Like I give a shit. It costs to damn much to go to the movies anyway.

You know what sucks?
I'll tell you what sucks. Being burned out is what sucks. I like to think I'm a decent writer of sorts when it comes to this internet thing. I've been doing my wrestling column since 1999 for the most part. It was simple enough back then because it wasn't much. Just a short page on a single topic. Nothing to complex or deep. It was like writing an essay for an English class to be honest. But here I am over eight years later and I've finally hit my wall. I don't know if it's because of the Benoit thing or what, but I am burned out physically, mentally, emotionally, and any other way possible.
I just can't bring myself to finish my column for this week which should have been finished sometime last week. Add to that I'm also supposed to be writing a show for the PWA and I can't even get myself to do that because of the burnout (well that and the fact the board is dead...). I used to love writing shows because honestly I knew I was better then everyone else. No one put together a better show then me. At my creative peak I was able to mold other peoples ideas into shows that were better then the real thing. Hell even in my current state I'm writing better shows then TNA.
But I just wonder what is left for me to honestly do. I've failed at everything else so why should I just continue when its clear that wrestling for the most part isn't fun anymore. Maybe wrestling can be fun again, but with all the steroids, drugs, and the fact that no one wants to go out on a limb anymore and take a risk I just don't see the point. And before anyone says it, Ring of Honor is not the future of pro wrestling. Yeah it would be nice if wrestling was taken a bit more seriously but ROH is hardly in a position to be taken seriously. TNA could have been like that, but TNA is booked by Jeff Jarrett and well one of the reasons why I hate wrestling now is because of Jarrett and his booking.
I mean it takes a lot of effort by one man to book a company into the ground and to piss off their most loyal of fans who stuck with them from the start. There's no hope for TNA anyway because Dixie Carter as hot as she is isn't to bright. She believes everything Jeff tells her so when Jarrett puts the belt back on himself you know I'll be saying I told you so. I know I started this blog for politics and other stuff, but I'm just burned out in general.
Don't give a shit about what's going on anymore. Bush and company are war criminals but the Democrats are a bunch of sackless little wimps who are afraid to use their majority (as slim as it might be) to go after him. I mean did anyone read the executive order he signed back in May about national emergency's? Basically he can declare himself defacto ruler side stepping congress and the courts in the event of a national emergency and he gets to decide what that emergency is.
So in theory he could declare martial law through out the land if another Hurricane like Katrina hit or if say the Dow Jones lost 1,000 points in a day (which btw can happen at any time because as I understand it the economy is over inflated to death right now).
Last week Bush signed another executive order saying he can take away your property if you threaten stabilization in Iraq. Basicaly that means if you think we should pack up and get the fuck out of Iraq YOU are threatening stablilization in Iraq.

There's more on it here from Alex Jones infowar's site. If you want to read the whole thing its also on the Whitehouse website.
See this means just because I think the President is a dumbass and his neocon buddies who got us into this war are a bunch of morons for the way they ran the war then I am threatening stabilization in Iraq. You know what's threatening stabilization George...ALL THOSE PEOPLE BLOWING EACH OTHER UP. Say what you want about Saddam, but he kept them all in check.
Of course with us there basically playing favorites that isn't helping matters. Plus add to that the Iraqi army is chock full of Gomer Pyles who end up fighting us anyway it's no wonder that country is falling apart. But if you call them out on that then you are aiding the terrorists.
Bullshit I say. The only reason we failed in Iraq is because we didn't fight this war like a war. We went in not to free them but only to create anarchy so that we could profit off it. Don't get me wrong I am a capitalist and I am all for making money, but it makes you wonder how these people sleep at night knowing all their money comes from the blood of dead soliders and innocent civilians.
Hmm it's funny writing this seems to have kick started my brain's writing process.
It's funny how things work out isn't it.

One little steam pipe blows and it's the end of the world
So I'm sure most of you have heard about the steam pipe explosion we had here in New York yesterday. An 83 year old pipe blew on 41st Street and Lexington Avenue right next to Grand Central and all hell broke loose. It was fun for a while because there was a small chance more pipes would go if they didn't shut it down in the right order.
But when you hear the words explosion and midtown Manhattan we automatically assume terrorism. That's how paranoid they have made us become. A broken pipe can't be a broken pipe. It has to be something else. The powers that be want us to be afraid, but who can be afraid when our supposed enemy is a guy who has probably been dead for a good five years. Oh yeah Osama came out of hiding last week...oh wait it was a video from 2001 BUT HEY HE'S STILL OUT THERE.
Yeah and you wanna know why he's still out there? Because Mr. I want him Dead or Alive let him escape. So because of that every time a steam pipe bursts we have to wonder was it the 85 year old pipes or was it a bomb.
Honestly if I were President and I vowed to bring Bin Laden in dead or alive and I gave up on doing that I would have resigned a long time ago. To bad Bush and Cheney don't care about integrity or anything.
Ah well here's to the next terror scare or broken water main that. We'll be on pins and needles just like they want us to be.

Was it Erotic Asphyxiation with Chris Benoit?
My friend Aurora has this theory that might explain alot and it should be explored just so everything is ruled on so there are no lingering questions 20 years from now. She wonders is maybe it was Erotic Asphyxiation gone wrong with Chris Benoit. So watch the video and comment on it. I think its a theory worth exploring just so every possible angle is covered.

Pants guy files for appeal
It's been a month or so since I posted, but I was burned out and needed a break. But I'm back and ready to go and this guy just makes me laugh.
Originally what happened was Judge Roy Pearson of Washington D.C. sent a pair of pants to a local dry cleaner. They were his good pants or something and they ended up getting lost. It happens with dry cleaning but instead of letting them replace the pants or what ever he flips out and decides to sue for $54 Million dollars. Now I've had many pairs of pants in my life. But none of them were worth $54 million.
He claims he's doing this for the good of everyone so shady business people don't rip you off. I'm sure I can sell him a bridge here in Brooklyn while I'm at it if he honestly believes that. Well the judge in the case tossed it saying there was no merit and instead of taking his defeat he's appealing because issues weren't raised and facts weren't known.
This guy all ready has lost his job on the bench so this is all he really has and he's willing to fight to the death for it. I admire his stuborness, but this case is everything thats wrong with the American civil system. The fact someone even bring this suit speaks volumes about the work that needs to be done to fix it.
My advice is cut your losses and just go get some new pants all ready. For the money he's spent on this he could have bought a whole closet full of them.
