DX in New Hampshire Remix

Several months ago, a couple of knuckleheads went through some towns in New Hampshire and spray painted the DX logo on buildings and cars. SabufanX at YouTube created this remix. Enjoy.

Battle Worn

This article upset me a great deal. You have someone that believes the hype of going to Iraq/Afghanistan to help the people there and fight terrorism. Then, when that individual gets injured, the government forgets all about them. The process that this soldier has to go through to get assistance is pathetic. And the wonder why recruitment is down.

Tragic Toll Part of Wrestling's Way of Life

By TIM BAINES - Ottawa Sun

Michael Alfonso had a wife and two children.

He had a good job as a sales associate with Coldwell Banker in Tampa.

As wrestler Mike Awesome, he won championships in ECW and Japan's FMW.

And now, at age 42, he's dead. According to The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, Alfonso was found hanging in his home last Saturday.

A tragedy. But death at a young age is not unique to wrestling. Far from it.

It's just another name to add to the body count, a list that is far too long.

How about these names ... and this is just a sampling:

Louie Spiccoli, 27; Crash Holly, 32; Eddie Gilbert, 33; Owen Hart, 33; Chris Candido, 33; Adrian Adonis, 34; Yokozuna, 34; Brian Pillman, 35; Eddie Guerrero, 38; Davey Boy Smith, 39; Johnny Grunge, 39; Rick Rude, 41; Miss Elizabeth, 42; Big Bossman, 42, Dino Bravo, 44; Mr Perfect Curt Hennig, 44; Bam Bam Bigelow, 45, Junkyard Dog, 45; Road Warrior Hawk, 45; and Big John Studd, 46.

Oh, there are others ... many others. But this column only has so much space.

To blame wrestling for all the deaths would be inaccurate and unfair.

But there's little doubt that wrestling and its way of life have taken their toll.

While wrestling matches are scripted, there's no scripting what happens outside the ring ... what happens when the wrestlers can barely roll out of the bed in the morning because of the pain they're feeling.

Some wrestlers turn to painkillers. Others, looking to bulk up in an industry where "size does matter," juice up with steroids.

If you looked at the list above, painkillers and steroids have certainly contributed to deaths.

There are "wellness" policies in place to help wrestlers. But as another body was lowered into the ground, it just doesn't seem like enough.

Al Gore, Rock Star

I really think AL Gore should have used Bill Clinton to his advantage instead of running from him during his campaign. If he had done so (and Bush didn't cheat) he would have won. I guess he thought we weren't smart enough to separate him from Clinton, but no one associated him with the Lewinsky matter or Whitewater. He could have ridden the Clinton coattails without putting on the coat. His documentary has been nominated for an Oscar. I hope it wins.

Pastor In Florida Trying to Re-Create Guyana

OK here we go again. Another "charismatic leader" has convinced his followers that he is God. They are even getting 666 tattoos, just like his. Are these people that out of touch with reality? Are they that desperate? Have they forgotten about Jim Jones and Guyana, David Koresh and Waco or The Two and Heavens' Gate? I don't understand how people can blindly follow a stranger into something that requires them to given up all control over their lives. You can read the crap that this nut is spewing here.

So You Want To Be Famous...

So you want to be famous - CNN.com

I thought it was interesting that this article was on cnn.com today. I found out late last night that I have been "discovered" . It seems that someone I know well has found my blog. I've never wanted to be famous. I wanted to be a fashion photographer and then a rock star and even considered joining Ringling Brothers as a clown, but I never wanted to be famous.

I contemplated deleting it. This was my space to say what I wanted without any repurcusions. But, I have changed my mind and add this disclaimer - If you know me in real life and don't like what is written here, feel free to change the channel. If you know me and comment about what I've written in a negative way, be advised that I will write about you, and everything I know about you. You have been warned.

Britney Bald? WTF?!

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Britney Spears appeared in a tattoo parlor in the San Fernando Valley with her head shaved completely bald.

Video on KABC-TV showed the newly shorn Spears with tiny tattoos on the back of her neck as she sits Friday night for a new tattoo -- a pair of red and pink lips.

"She just wanted something real small on her wrist, something dainty," Max Gott, the tattoo artist at Body and Soul in Sherman Oaks, told the TV station. "She got some cute little lips on her wrist."

Derrik Snell, who works at the tattoo parlor, said Spears showed up without notice and stayed for about 90 minutes as about 60 fans, photographers and gawkers gathered outside.

"She seemed fine," Snell said. "I didn't really notice [the hairdo] at first, she had a hood on when she showed up."...You can read the rest of the article here CNN.com

TNA iMPACT! Rating Plummets Due To RAW

Four sides are better than six. They call it a squared circle for a reason...

Last night's airing of TNA iMPACT! took a huge hit in the ratings as the show drew a 0.59 rating going head-to-head with a special Thursday night airing of WWE RAW. Last week's show drew a 1.1 rating, and thus there was a 47% decrease in viewership this week. This was the least watched edition of iMPACT! in the show's history since the move to Spike TV. Additionally, the two hour replay of 'This is TNA!' that preceded last night's iMPACT! drew an even lower rating, a 0.48 cable rating.

Chyna Confirms Drug Use
02/15/2007 by Ryan Clark

Joanie "Chyna" Laurer released a video statement today, confirming what has been pretty obvious -- she once again is having drug problems. In the video, she says that the death of Anna Nicole Smith was a sign to her to get her life in order.

Video from YouTube

And in a totally unrelated matter...
During Jeopardy’s Teen Tournament there was a slight reference to Triple H. The topic was Vice Presidents, and the question was “he was Triple H long before this WWE guy”. The answer of course was Hubert H, Humphrey, Jr.

Anna Nicole Smith Death A Warning To Britney Spears, Lohan

By Mike Baron
Feb 13, 2007
Anna Nicole Smith's life and sudden death should serve as a warning to Hollywood's young stars that are on the road to trouble. Britney Spears, who let her life go straight down the partying gutter, and Lindsay Lohan, who did the same and is now in rehab, are headed down the same path Anna Nicole was traveling - and the end of that path is fatal.

Britney Spears is at the front of the destructive line and trying to get through to her is like sticking pitch forks in your eyes. The singer is on the front page of a magazine every other day, and news of her sitting in her own puke after pounding down glass-after-glass of liquor in some 'hotspot' is reported equally as often.

A journalist for the NY Daily News writes: 'Spears was out on the town again late Sunday night, showing up at promoter Joey Morrissey's weekly party at One, the Meatpacking District hot spot, with a couple of male friends. A source told the Daily News she drank shots from a bottle of tequila and ended up naked in the dancers' dressing room, trying on their bikini costumes. "She was in high spirits," says the source. "(Spears) arrived in a little red dress, but she admired the fishnet (stockings) the dancers were wearing. She went downstairs and tried them on, but didn't like the way they looked with her dress.
So she took off her dress and started putting on bikinis that the dancers wear," he adds. "She stripped all of her clothes off and was totally naked in the dancers' room. She came out and got a T-shirt off of one of the waiters and danced like that till around 4 a.m."'

Lindsay Lohan is second in line, and she's only 20-years-old. The young actress/singer finally realized she needed help with her alcohol abuse problem when she found herself passed-out on a hotel stair-case about a month ago.

Lohan hasn't even reached the legal age to drink yet and she's already an alcoholic in rehab.
