The final blog of the year

Well, this will be my last blog entry for 2002. I would like to say that I’m on my way to a concert where lots of hot women will be and I’d be hanging backstage with my best friend but those plans were killed long ago. Sometimes friendship ranks lower than a woman it seems. [...]


Cellular calls in middle earth

I went and saw the new Lord of the Rings movie today. That movie was simply amazing. I liked it even better than the first. How I managed to make it thru a 3 hour movie after drinking a large pop and not have to go out to the bathroom in the middle of the [...]


Multiball

Spent a full day doing laundry, straightening up the house, and playing a lot of pinball. Koz came into town and at nite we headed over to Season Tickets to check out the new Stern pinball machine that they put on test. The Simpsons. This is easily the best machine Stern has made so far. [...]


The show was pretty good. I got there as the second band was just finishing. I do not know who it was. Punch in the Face played, and they were pretty good. My friend Jeff plays guitar in the band and this was the first time I had heard them. I hadn’t seen him in [...]


Friday Five back at Combustion Manor

1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year? The rebirth of Spontaneous Combustion, as a web zine. That I did myself. 2. What was your biggest disappointment? My attempts to reconcile with RMD didn’t work out, despite my never ending efforts. Now we no longer even speak to each other. Second would be that most [...]


Merry Xmas

Merry Xmas everyone. I hope you all have a nice holiday and get some cool swag from your friends and family.


Xmas Eve

Today we had a huge feast here at Welch Manor. 11 people were here, all daveinlaws immediate family. I was the only one who wasn’t “a couple” and felt kind of out of place. The holidays really fucking suck when you are a single person let me tell you. After the feast, we went over [...]


R.I.P. Joe Strummer

I actually found out about this from my sisters neighbor. Joe Strummer died. For those that don’t know, he was in The Clash – one of the pioneers of punk rock. While I actually was not a huge fan of the band, they indirectly had a huge impact on my life and it is always [...]


56K Boston Blogging

My sister let me use her AOL account after I installed the crappy AOL software on my laptop and so here I am, blogging from Boston. So let’s review… Saturday – The loaf dropped me off at the airport. I was expecting a giant hour-plus line to check in, but it took 5 minutes, there [...]


Let the holiday begin

My last day of work for a week, I am leaving for Boston tomorrow and won’t be able to blog most likely due to my sister’s archaic computer situation (old mac and only a dialup connection to AOL). So if there isn’t a post from me in a few days, don’t be alarmed. Tonite Thor [...]


A busy day at work and the time flew by. Just now doing some laundry and getting things in order for my trip. I missed the first hour of smackdown as I worked late, it didn’t look like I missed much. I caught Tough Enough afterwords and they shoudl cut that sissy Jonah – he [...]


I am watching the Anna Nicole xmas special. My god, what a train wreck!


While I can appreciate a rainy warm day much more than the usual weather of this time of year, I don’t appreciate a few drops of water doubling the travel time home. Jesus christ people, it is only water, not ice, you can drive faster than 10mph on it. Bastards. After the long ass commute [...]


Raw review

Ok, I watched the tape of last nite’s Raw. It was ok I guess. Admittedly I was not giving it my full attention as I was pricing out the pressing of the upcoming single. The one thing that did stand out was the end segment. Scott Steiner is a mush mouth and can’t form a [...]


Something I learned today

Back when I was with RMD, she often accused me of never listening to her, and really only waiting for my turn to talk and not retaining the information she was sharing with me. At the time, I didn’t really beleive it or I was just too stupid to do anything about it. Well, she [...]


I finally got my Shadow pinball back together and working. I played it and after a bunch of bad games, I finally had a good one, I choked in the final battle though. The PPV was pretty bad except for an excellent main event match with Shawn Michaels and HHH. It got off to a [...]


Welcome to Wisconsin

Today, I did the unthinkable and set my alarm on a Saturday to get up early! I had to be ready by 10am for my dad (ADV) to pick me up for our trip up to Milwaukee to see my aunt and cousin. The drive wasn’t that bad, even for me who hates being in [...]


Xmas Mach 1

So my Dad, uncle, aunt and 2 cousins came over for dinner and we swapped xmas gifts. Since I didn’t know what they all wanted and didn’t have, everyone got gift certificates to various places. Some people, including my ex, think that gift cards are a lame gift. I disagree. I think they rule, it [...]


I just watched Friends. Selma Blair was a guest on the show this week. That girl is HOT! God damn she is tasty. I need to figure out how to become a famous actor fellow so I can meet these fine babes on my TV!


Randper

Smackdown was not very exciting. Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie are smokin’ hot babes stuck in a lame storyline. Get the damn big slow and that goon albert off my tv forever dammit! They make me want to change the channel. The holidays kind of suck when you are single. Why is it when your [...]


What is it about Thursday’s that makes the traffic suck so bad?!

Every day this week, I have woken up a good hour before my alarm, and have not been able to get back to sleep, regardless of how tired I am, which is usally a lot! I don’t know what the deal is with that, but it is a ripoff and I would like it to [...]


Hoobastank has to be one of most stupid band names I have ever heard. Not to mention I think they suck. I challenge you, my dear readers, to post yr votes for stupid band names here.


I am watching Howard Stern on E right now. Jamie Presley has to be one of the most annoying women in Hollywood. I watched the tape of Raw from last nite. Not bad, HBK jumped off a truck and elbow dropped HHH in a dumpster. Sure it was heavily gimmicked but HBK’s carreer was pretty [...]


Man what a long day. I worked until after midnite! Went to some really greasy spoon for dinner where I had my first pizza puff in like 5 years. It was more puff than pizza and the place had the worst ghetto fries I have eaten since going to Diane’s (this dump by midway). Got [...]
