Excuses, Excuses, and comments

Hello there.

I get it. I get that you want more and more stuff here from me. And I get that, in some way, its annoying when I'm not posting daily, or even steadily.

See, I'm busy, more busy than ever before during the ten years I've been online. I am not required to submit a column for a site week after week. This is my blog, featuring whatever the fuck I want to write about, at MY time and MY leisure.

You are getting your money's worth, kids. Lots of whining over free shit.

When I want to write something and if I have something I want to say, I will produce something. Lately, all I like doing when I get home at night is to kick back with beer and chill out on the couch.

Even when he does post now, it's 1/2 "secret" stuff that we just don't care about, and 1/4 begging for more comments. 1/4 of it is the stuff we remember, and even then it's watered down. Look, I love Hyatte. Have since the beginning. I was there before the red stripe (remember the red screen?) and have followed him since. I even coined a stupid little acronym for my love of his writing about 5 years ago: HFFE (Hyatte Fan For Fucking Ever) and now it's all a wash. I quit watching wrestling a month ago, and haven't missed it. I might have to say the same here.

Then go dude, leave, split, fuck off. This isn't a deal where I care about readership anymore. If you only want to check in once a week, or once a fucking month, go for it.

And I don't "beg" for comments, I ask for them. Why? To give me something to read on my own blog and to give YOU PEOPLE something to read too, and participate in. Hell, I even let you post in secret. Is that an issue? Then go away.

As for the secret shit? Well, this blog was around for a lot longer then most of you realize... and it was mostly meant for one person. Now since its my primary form of intrawebbers communication, everyone can share... but its also, sometimes, the sole form of communication between myself and the certain someone... because the certain someone can be a world class moody asshole when she wants to be.

So don't threaten me with leaving... it doesn't work. And it just shows that you really don't know me if you try pushing those buttons.

You whiney bunch of twinks. Ten years of free work delivered some of the best wrestling columns you ever read. Well, aside from some amazon gift certificates, various porn videos, various shirts, Fleabag, and a long lasting semi-friendship with Trish Stratus (who is another flake)... I haven't really gotten much in return. I got diddly AND squish in return, in fact.

So shut the fuck up. I'm busy making money, since none of you ever provided it.

I'm doing comments now.

1) June 12, 2008 10:27 PM. Anonymous said... Thats some pretty played out music you listen to there...you might as well throw some ZZTop and Poison in there as well...and every one knows that sinatra was best on Capitol..for chrissakes, he was singing sonny bono tunes on reprise!!

Referring to my current summer lineup for my auto CD changer. (reminder: Emimen's first, White Stripes latest, Rolling Stones Hot Rocks: disc 4, Best of Rob Zombie, Sinatra The Reprise Years: disc 4, Best of Garbage, Jay Z the Black Album, U2: Achtung Baby, Rhianna, and Eminem's second CD)

Played out... played out?? What, should I ROCK OUT with Panic at the Disco or Fall Out Boy or New Kids on The Block? I hear they are ROCKIN' again!

Jesus Moses Christ Allmighty. What should I listen too? ASSHOLE!! Douchie Bag and the Morning Chills?? Skippy Bonefuck and the Frat Fags?? Sticker Hard and Lenny Fried Dough?? How about I buy Motley Crue's latest and JAM???

Rock is dead, babycakes. Starved out by paranoid radio stations that only play establish acts with songs that ONLY meet their ever-decreasing criteria of what is allowable on their airwaves?

Listen, the last time rock exploded and figured out a way to be something new was when Kurt Cobain wore a t-shirt and shouted, "Here we are now! Entertain us!!" and that was 18 years ago! I saw Motely Crue on Letterman the other night playing a new song off their new CD Saints of Los Angeles... and it was somethiing they could have put on Theatre of Pain in 1985 and no one would've noticed any difference. They are trying to reach a new market with 25 year old shit.

Aerosmith has gone top 40, Bon Jovi has gone country, its all about what gets kids into clubs and onto the dance floor these days.

So don't rag on my "dated" musical tastes, daddio. MTV doesn't even play videos no mo'. It's about what I'm feelin' and when I want to feel it... and I'm not in line waiting for the ticket box to open to catch me some of dat new Crue, yo.

Maybe Ax'l will save rock. Maybe Chinese Democracy will be worth the 14 year wait and overhaul everything... anyone think this is remotely possible?

OF COURSE IT ISN'T... but at least Ax'l will show that he's been keeping up to date on what's going on out there. The Crue boys sure haven't.

And how come I couldn't find you with my facebook account or my myspace...err... nevermind. Elect the brotha??? Um, this is the dawning of the end of the world. Not cuz he's black, but just look at all the earthquakes, bad weather, etc. 7 years removed from 911 and we may elect a man with Muslim ties?

There's nothing on the Facebook account, trust me. Look at how much I update this blog.... what chance do you think my Facebook account has of being up-to-date?

Yes, it is the dawning of the end of the world, and white republicans have caused it.

Obama will be our new president because we are desperate, DESPERATE for change. We are hurting, people, badly, and its because the son of one of our worst Presidents (one term) became maybe the single worst President we ever had.

And Hillary lost it because she played Clinton politics and the country got right sick and tired of it. We so badly want a fresh voice and a unique vision to guide us back out of this black hole of suck we are in. We'll take anyone. Even one with Muslim ties.

Nope... not even a little... and why use a 28 year old TV show which lasted one season as an analogy?

4) June 9, 2008 8:51 PM... Bigly said... and that's leaving out Burt's awesome guest stint on the X-Files as well as his work in Boogie Nights and Striptease...the dude's an american icon -- Harrison Ford without having to work as much cause he's got hobbies.

Burt Reynolds was the number 1 box office star for most of the late 70's and early 80's... then he picked the worst toupee imaginable and suddenly, he wasn't looking so good anymore. Plus he had this amazing ability to pick the worst possible scripts.

Funny you should mention Harrison Ford. Years ago, Ford was on Letterman and Dave ran a clip of a young Harrison playing a punk kid getting roughed up by Burt Reynolds on one of Burt's old TV shows. Back to the talk show, Dave was remarking about Ford's performance and age, "Look at you, you were just a kid."

Ford nodded slowly, with a nice smirk on.

Dave, "And look at you, getting roughed up by Burt Reynolds like that?"

Ford did nothing.

Dave, "Ain't the way it works now. Is it, my friend."

Ford slowly shook his head. The audience laughed.

It was a nifty moment... so much so that I can still remember it today.

You want to know when Burt Reynolds lost it? Watch The Cannonball Run and then The Cannonball Run 2... nevermind the lazy plots or lame one-liners... just watch the two and watch Burt Reynolds go from a real life Hollywood star to a pompous, fat gasbag just collecting what he thoiught was the latest in fat, easy paychecks.

Anonymous said... ah facebook and myspace arent that bad, as long as you don't approach them the way a 12 year old would..."oh! she added me! she must be the one!"... friggin bullshit man, use it to network dude...get yourself a job..and don't put personal shit like cock pics on there, it will only make you look like a douche

No cock pictures... right.

I have a job, dickhead... it's why you are all whining for me to post more.

I am holding onto one promise and there is no Myspace account out there that is mine.

I tried networking from my time online and it got me nothing but lies and broken promises and back stabbing.

5) June 9, 2008 8:35 AM... Patricia said... Yay! Awesome entry, back to the good stuff. Good work kid. Hey, did you see Cloverfield?

No. The reviews scared me away.

The movie's the ultimate cocktease (heh... irony)... you don't even see the monster until the end, and then its, "what the fuck did we just see??" That screams, "WAIT FOR CABLE" to me.

The sequel should kick some ass!

And I have never seen an episode of Lost and WILL NOT until they put out the whole series on one DVD super-pack... then I'll watch it chapter 1 to the very end and let the thing build on me organically with no waiting.

Can't wait for JJ Abrams new version of Star Trek, tho'.

Patricia... are you on one of your little tiffs again?

5) June 20, 2008 8:34 PM... U. Shoulda said... check out these chum...p(s) trying to make yer girl funny. She was yers to f, rat http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/5733/105/ it's a Triple H! Hawr, Hyuck and Heyyy-o!

Oh yes, Missy Hyatt's "day in the life" thing...

Missy didn't write that. Someone else did for her. Have you read Missy's stuff? She is incapable of producing ANYTHING that detailed or fully formed. That wasn't her... not even close.

Just know, people, if I ever went back to the DOI, I would chase Missy Hyatt back off the web within my first month... if that.

And I don't even weant to fuck her anymore... there's something very gross about a 40 year old crackhead with a litre of rat piss in her face who still thinks she's as hot as she was back in 1988... who's still hanging onto the barnacles of a silly career that was dead and buried before the Monday Night Wars began.

6) June 28, 2008 8:45 PM... Anonymous said... the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Nothing has changed, son. I've never promised anything more than what I've been giving.

And I'm going to stop now. I promise NOTHING for the future...

.... well.... maybe I'll crank out more comments for the weekend. Happy 4th of July, people... enjoy those crazy fireworks which haven't changed or eveloved since the 60's.
