Don’t worry, I’m not being crude here. Once again I am just talking about something dealing with a restaurant I recently went to.

Before I get into recapping the little that I have to say for the past week, it has to be said that a few weeks ago my old high school played a game in the playoffs. The past few years football is different in good old Belvidere, as back when I went to school there, the town only had one high school. But, the population has grown so much in recent years that a second high school was built. Both of those schools made the Illinois high school playoffs. The original Belvidere school played against my mom’s old high school, of all educational places (Woodstock Marian). They kicked Belvidere’s ass 42-6, and the score was 42-0 at halftime. When I saw that score via a Twitter post, I was quite disappointed. Maybe if there was still one school, they’d field a great team, but those are the breaks… the new school, Belvidere North (as if they’re preparing for a Belvidere South sometime in the future) won their first two playoff games but lost on Saturday. Phooey.

The end of last week and the weekend weren’t too noteworthy at all so I’ll skip past that, except for two things. The Bears played this past Thursday, at the San Francisco 49ers. I could’ve gone out to watch the game (as I wasn’t able to view it at home; we don’t get the NFL Network, sad to say), whether it be to Friendly Confines or even a bar in Clermont , but I decided not to. It proved to be a wise decision in hindsight as I heard it was a real ugly game, and Chicago lost 10-6. I’m sure I would not have enjoyed it, so I’m glad I stayed home instead. The next night, I went out and saw Gremlins. Yes, it was on the big screen, in Orlando at Universal. I don’t think I’ve seen that in like 20 years, so it was nice watching it that way. You can read more about what I thought of the film at http://blairreviewsmoviesDOTblogspot.com/ (add a . where the DOT is; I have to do it that way due to MySpace being lame)

Onto this week… Monday I went to the Santa Fe Cattle Co. restaurant, a southeast chain that’s only been around for a few years now. Just recently they opened a restaurant in Clermont so me and someone else decided to go to it. If you’ve been to a “peanuts on the floor” joint like, say, Logan’s Roadhouse or a Texas Roadhouse, it’s much like those restaurants. The food’s all similar, they all offer up tasty buns with butter, they give you a bucket of peanuts to eat at your table, and all that. The theme-ing at Santa Fe was pretty nice, though, and they had a photo from the Tombstone movie, along with some John Wayne stills. The food at all those joints taste pretty good, and Santa Fe is no exception. I didn’t consume any of the alcohol there but some of the selections did look appetizing. One drink had what is a first for me at what I’ve seen at restaurants, in that it included JAEGERMEISTER (besides the greatness of that drink, which I know more than a few reading this can attest to, the menu had it in all caps, maybe for the same reason in that it’s great), and another was called “redneck tea” and it had a bunch of different alcohols and “a splash of Coca-Cola”. That’s right, it sounded like it was almost all alcohol, as if it was a specialty drink you could get at Mako’s! I presume it’s a family-friendly joint-and there were mainly families there-and yet one shirt that servers wore had on the back a picture of a bull protecting a stash of peanuts, and it said… yep, you guessed it, “protect your nuts”. That’s rather ribald for a family joint, don’t you think? The chain has also experienced some financial troubles in its short history, with some restaurants being closed. Hopefully it’ll do well in the future, as I liked it there and I think I’ll return there once in awhile. I mean, I have to try the JAEGERMEISTER drink and Redneck Tea, right?

Yesterday, I did something for the first time… visit an IKEA store! I’ve had no use for that place so I never went there, even though I commonly hear friends online mention that they visit the place often and they love it. After visiting that home furnishing joint, I can see why it’s beloved. I wasn’t looking to make any purchases so I just walked around and looked at all the fancy set-ups. The only stuff I bought was food and drink, and not just at their cafeteria. The cafeteria food was what you’d expect… passable. At least it was cheap. The fancy dessert was the definite highlight. The ligonberry drink is pretty tasty.

Other than that… this week has had me with a dilemma with someone. I won’t delve into details but I was put in a jam by that individual and I wish I didn’t have to be in that position. Hopefully it’ll get resolved soon and there’s no hard feelings.

The next week doesn’t look that eventful… although Friday and Saturday night I’ll be attending a pro wrestling tournament that’s in honor of a late local wrestler and all the benefits are going to charity to help those with cancer, so it’s a great thing (jpc2009.com for all the details). I’ll post something new next week, probably a day before Thanksgiving.

Yes, I’m referring to a place known as BJ’s Restaurants; I’m not talking about BJ’s and restaurants here as two separate topics! I’m not one to be lewd in my MySpace/Facebook blogs and plus, I don’t want to brag about my love life…

Again, I don’t have too much to say about my activities during the week, as really nothing happened worth noting here. Not even any good road rage stories! The only thing interesting was that I was at a Wal-Mart on Friday night, looking for an item or two to get. I saw that they had an exclusive item there… it was KISS M&M’s! No kidding. What won’t Gene Simmons merchandise? It’s a large bag of M&M’s and each M has a face of a band member on it. On the bag itself it has the outline of one of the four face paint designs; I picked up the Catman design of Peter Criss (and also Eric Singer, but I have a feeling KISS fans may prefer it as just Peter Criss rather than the guy that replaced him).

So, I’ll skip ahead to the weekend. I went to a wrestling show in nearby Leesburg and then after that went home and saw the rest of the MMA show they had on CBS. Soon after that I watched the VHS tape (hey, don’t snicker) that I used to tape the first part of the show that I missed. Overall, that was fun times, and the wrestling show wasn’t too shabby either.

“Shabby”, though, is not strong enough of a word to describe the Chicago Bears on Sunday. They performed much less than “shabby”. “Shitty” is a more accurate description! Once again I went to Friendly Confines to watch the game. The Arizona Cardinals whipped some ass and they didn’t let the Bears off the hook. The final score was 41-21 Arizona but 14 of those points were cheap late touchdowns from Chicago. At times the offense looked nice but otherwise they played badly against the Cardinals D and the Bears D… again, it was horrible and they rarely could stop Arizona at all. I couldn’t believe how bad it was. That’s really all I have to say about that game. At least I was able to watch other games besides the Bears one. The big one going on there at the time was New England vs. Miami, oddly enough; I mean, you could watch that on cable in Orlando without having to go to a public place like a bar that was showing it. It was a fun back and forth contest so there was yelling from both fans at various points, and it was a lively crowd there that afternoon. That helped lighten my mood there while watching the Bears shit the bed once again this season. Their next game is actually tomorrow night against the 49ers but I may just decide not to go out to see that game and instead stay in and save some cash.

This week… there have been idiots on the road that I’ve had to deal with, and with the rainy weather… as I’ve said before, any water on the road and driver IQ’s drop even lower than they usually are. But, I’ll skip past that and I’ll instead get to what I did yesterday, which is talk about BJ’s Restaurants. Technically it’s BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse. Yep, they make their beer on-site. Overall, it’s a pretty damn good place and I’m glad I found it via a Yahoo article, although I wish I knew about it sooner. It’s similar to that Granite City place I went to up in Illinois in August, although thankfully this time both the food and the service were satisfactory. I sat at the bar and yes, I consumed alcohol! I had a pint of Berry Burst Cider and it was pretty tasty. The food I had was the deep dish pizza, as I heard it was great, and indeed it was. I had it mini-sized, as that and the cider were half-price due to it being Happy Hour, and yep, that did make me happy lol.

I may not be back until late next week as my agenda looks as barren as it almost always is these days. In the next few weeks I may try out some restaurants for the first time so at least I can chat about that. In the meantime, I’ll wish a Happy Veteran’s Day to everyone out there.

If you’re wondering where I got this title, it’s from me looking up sports scores on my Verizon phone. Note that I’m not like most people from the ages of-say-14 to 40, who are on their phones all the damn time doing God knows what... probably mostly that useless texting crap. I’m not much of a texter; I don’t even do it anymore (it’s not part of my phone’s plan) and in the past I pretty much had to do it at gunpoint. Anyway, I really only use that mobile web feature during the weekends to look up scores if I’m at wrestling shows or whatever. Well, Sunday I’m using that feature and to get to the sports section you have to go through the main page first, and they always post a small picture on top and then the first few words of the headline. Sometimes, the stuff they choose to spotlight is downright baffling. I mean, not any important world news or what have you, but instead, in this case, a guy making a giant ball of rubber bands! No shit. Unfortunately for Verizon, the first few words of the headline that appeared to advertise this was “Man Makes Giant Rubber”; if it wasn’t for the accompanying picture, I would be wondering what in the world was going on and I’d have to click on the article to read it. You can insert your own jokes about giant rubbers.

I don’t have too much to say about the past week. No wild adventures or sordid tales, despite the title of the blog. I was boring most of this past week. No Halloween activities or dressing up, even. So, I’ll skip past that to mention… oh wait, I do have something to mention. On Mister Saint Laurent’s messageboard, Jared David himself brought up something I mentioned recently elsewhere and whined about it, because I was too mean to him or whatever, and other people got mad and butthurt about it. That’s par for the course, but one guy did mention something that was dumb, but it made me laugh. He said that if MSL poured a shot on his chest and I did a bodyshot off of him, that I’d be pals with him! I swear, that’s what he said. I’d rather drink bleach than perform that act with him, but like I said it made me laugh. I haven’t done any bodyshots at all, come to think of it. Maybe that’ll change sooner or later…

Now I can skip ahead to Sunday, where the only interesting things happened to me. I went to Friendly Confines to see the Bears play against the lowly terrible Cleveland Browns. At first both teams were awful then Chicago started playing better and except for some moments the Browns were bad on offense and defense. The final score was 30-6, a win for the Bears. While the opposition was horrible it was still nice seeing the Bears score a lot of points and it was amusing to laugh at the bungling Browns (who have only won one game this entire season), but I also feel bad for them as they’ve been totally inept for much of the past 10 years, and in recent years there’s been issues with dirty locker rooms that have given multiple players staph infection, players feuding with coaches, the team not playing talent because if they play a certain number of games, they have to give bonuses to them, and it’s a huge mess and I feel bad for all Browns fans they have to put up with that. I guess I can’t ever gripe about the Bears too loudly, if they at least don’t do that kind of stuff. Anyhow, the people there were happy to see Chicago win; I wish the middle-aged guy who was there last week that had an AWESOME mullet (no, not a joke. He had a mullet!) would have been there this week, but oh well.

As usual, nothing exciting planned for the next week, but at least during the weekend I’ll be seeing a wrestling show in Leesburg, and then the next day I’ll watch the Bears play against the Cardinals, who are a schizophrenic team but I know they’ll be more of a challenge than Cleveland was. I think that my December and January will be more eventful than this month as I have some things in mind in terms of things to do; it’s all just ideas and nothing’s set in stone, though.

There’s nothing to report on from the last blog until now aside from two things.

The whole Heene family thing… the people that I first saw say that the whole thing was a hoax was… pro wrestling people! After all, who would know better if something that looks real but it actually staged, right? Plus, those people deal on a regular basis with Mister Saint Laurent; don’t get me started on that man-child (or man-CHILD, to state it properly; he’s coming out of retirement for a match in a few months and the set-up for this match is tremendously infuriating but I’ll spare you the details about it)… anyway, my point is that if they have to deal with someone that has a sick diseased mind like MSL ( a guy who tries to “work” people ALL THE GODDAMN TIME; no kidding; like I’ve said before, he’s not that far away from painting pictures with his own poop!), they’ll especially be more keen to seeing something that’s staged. Thursday night on my Facebook page I said that Falcon should be tossed out of that balloon at 10,000 feet, as I still figured that he was just some little shithead brat, but then logic set in and it became more and more clear that it was just a stunt to get attention so that those demon parents would get the whole brood on *a reality show*. To me, there aren’t too many phrases that are worse than “reality show”, as most of them just make me hate the world and totally leave me perplexed as to how anyone can derive any enjoyment from them, no matter what they’re about or if they’re the worst of the worst (most of the VH1 reality shows, for example). I wonder how they couldn’t come up with a better story but I really hope that the law enforcement in that town prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law; I wish they’d be locked away forever and have the key thrown away, but that isn’t really realistic now, unfortunately. Then again, I wish that those guys and people like MSL, Glenn Beck, Nancy Grace, and others would be tied up, together in MSL’s warehouse and I could throw in some grenades… not that I’m a nihilist or anything, but yeah sometimes I just shake my head at the world in general. As for what I said on Thursday night, I was incorrect in saying that Falcon should be tossed out of that balloon; it’s the parents who should be hurled from an airplane without a parachute! Maybe that way their kids have some hope of not growing up to be loony whackjobs like mom and dad who believe in reptilian people and live on Mars.

Onto a topic that I wish was much cheerier than what I stated above, but it’s not so much so, as the Bears lost last night on national TV to the Atlanta Falcons. Sure, Atlanta’s a pretty good team so it’s not that much of a shame to lose to them, but the way the Bears played; Cutler looked bad again on national TV, passes were dropped, the run game is pretty atrocious, and stupid mistakes were made. Sure, the Falcons earned the 21 points they scored, but the Bears should’ve scored that much or more if not for a multitude of miscues. Not that it wasn’t fun to watch at times but it was also frustrating. I’m glad I didn’t go out to watch the game, as besides Chicago losing, my stomach also didn’t feel all that great on Sunday night. No, it wasn’t due to stress or nerves; it must’ve been something I ate. I will go out to see Chicago’s next game, which is late Sunday afternoon against the Cincinnati Bengals. I don’t think Cincy is as good as their record suggests but I have the feeling it’ll be yet another close nail-biter game that goes down to the wire, which I prefer it NOT be the case.

Other than that I’ll be seeing a wrestling show on Saturday so at least I’ll be doing stuff and won’t be bored at home or have to look to mischief and waywardness in downtown Orlando to keep me occupied, although knowing my luck I’ll still cause trouble somehow and I’ll have insane drunken louts maniacally chase me for no reason whatsoever.

I know, another blog already. Well, I have a good reason to do one now. In fact, in a few days I’ll do another one, where I’ll talk about the Bears vs. Falcons game, Falcon Heene , what I said about that little bugger, and that whole mess, and anything that happens between now and then. After that, it may be some time before I do another blog. And yeah, this will be a lengthy blog, I’ll predict before I finish it.

Note that I’m typing part of this real late Saturday night and the rest of it early Sunday. Right now it’s late Saturday night and it may be awhile before I’m able to fall asleep. That’s because even now my body is flowing with adrenaline and it’ll take some time before I can calm down and fall asleep. There’s a good reason why that’s the case. I normally don’t like to start this off with the climax and then present the lesser stuff; instead I prefer to reveal the climax once it’s been built up to. This case, though, I’ll have to do it differently.

I was driving home late Saturday night and once I got on 50 to head home someone started to give me shit. I mean, Troglodytes who were hanging out the window of a Pontiac G6 and they were yelling at me… and I have ZERO idea why. I mean, I didn’t do shit to cause that kind of reaction. I didn’t cut them off or flash my brights at them or anything close to that; I did nothing to provoke them so I dunno. But, at the time I was pissed at them, so if they wanted to start shit with me, I was going to give it back! You know, “don’t start no shit, there’s gonna be no shit”, to quote a rap song from a few years ago. Well, I ended up getting CHASED by these Troglodytes, and for a few minutes at that. I ended up having to drive WAY over the speed limit in the general area where I live and hell, I spent some time driving *without my lights on*, which is something that I don’t recommend ever doing unless it’s in extreme situations such as this. I eventually lost those mouth-breathers but man, those few minutes were absolutely terrifying; I mean, more frightening than most horror movies, no lie. If you’ve never been in that kind of situation, consider yourself lucky.

OK, onto the rest of the things that I did between the last blog and this one. It was pretty much dullsville except for me commenting that “balloon boy” Falcon Heene should be thrown out of an experimental balloon; that comment wasn’t well-received in some circles and in hindsight, I should have said that his parents should be thrown out of a balloon! They’re kooks who believe that Hillary Clinton is a reptilian alien (no kidding), so need I say more? But, I’ll talk more about that in the next blog I do, as the Atlanta Falcons and Falcon Heene tie together so perfectly.

I wasn’t happy about having a second weekend in a row with no closeby wrestling show to attend that I want to see, or any other activity, so I decided to do something that a month ago would’ve seen that lunacy after that major alcohol-fueled rant that I delivered in the blog I posted on September 12th.

That’s right folks, I returned to Mako’s.

I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea, but I figured that if I had people encouraging me to go downtown after I mentioned that I got the new (replacement) credit card, I might as well do so, right? Plus, me deciding that I probably overreacted with that epic rant and hearing that they were offering the new Bud Light beer known as Golden Wheat; it’s not too shabby, by the way. So, I decided to roll the dice and go there; now that I knew what to expect there, I wouldn’t get turned off by any surprises so I was hoping to have a better time there.

I did end up having a better time there. Things aren’t the same as they used to be, sad to say, but at least I had fun while I was there.

• They did have the same setup as last month, but I tried to put up with it. It led to me being cramped at times, sure, I dealt with it. Maybe the main thing I should worry about here is that maybe this place isn’t doing as well attendance wise as they used to be; that’s a problem and I hope that’s not the case for reasons too obvious to state here. They did change around something else as where the beer tub was, they now have up some seats and a table for a VIP area. I guess it makes sense as (goofy-looking as it may be) if they’re only using the front half of the club and leaving the upstairs area empty (where the VIP section normally is), they should have a VIP area set up in front. I do have to say that I am glad that security was actually nice this time around and when people went to the back to use the restroom, they weren’t stopped and asked… “Uh, where are you going to? The bathroom?”, as that’s just dumb, you know. Hearing a nice mix of music while I was there also helped me to enjoy things.
• Watching some *guy* get on the bar and just walk around… what a poltroon he was! He got yelled at and he got off of there, but I was hoping for security to toss him off of there, if only for my amusement at his pain and suffering.
• My homie J.P. Gilbert wasn’t there, although the last I knew he’s still an employee there. But, the damsel (not in distress) who I had “issues” with the past two times was there and… things are fine with me and her now? Yeah. I have no explanation for what has happened the previous two visits to the joint, but I won’t complain. She was working there but wasn’t a bartender. She did “other things” instead and I wasn’t really able to have any sort of chat with her… things were back to normal and she was nice to me and all that. I’ll just forget all about the drama of recent months and say that things are back to good, to quote that goofy Take That song from the 90’s. I also enjoyed what she was wearing on this night.
• Some other lady employees I knew were working there, and like the aforementioned damsel, treated me kindly and that’s always good to be treated well.
• Not too many activities to talk about, though. At least I did see a new one, which was one of the male “barbacks” holding an inflatable shark between his legs and some ladies tossing some rings onto the head of the shark. You know, like that “genital ringtoss” story. I’ve heard rumors about it being done with donuts and someone ate those donuts and only found out later via photograph what that food was being used for; it may be an urban legend a la the old “someone brushes their teeth with a toothbrush left after their home was robbed and later they find out said toothbrush was up the orifice of the robber while he robbed the joint” story. True or not it’s good for lol’s.
• I can also say that I enjoyed the usual girls dancing around stuff, whether it’d be female customers or the employees there. I mean, how can I not enjoy seeing shapely young lasses dancing on the bartop while only in their bras and panties?
• As what usually happens, they were throwing out beads a la what you see at Mardi Gras. As what sometimes happens, I find some of them on the ground and I end up putting them on. As what has never happened before there, I see two guys walking around with Mardi Gras masks on. Why, I have no earthly idea, but it amused me.
• To give my review of Bud Light Golden Wheat, not too shabby. I say that it’s better than regular Bud Light; I’m not one of those guys that drink ale beers or stouts or any of that nasty bullshit. Yet, at least I drink more than Budweiser/Bud Light and Miller Lite. I say that Golden Wheat is at least worth a try.
• There were some other memorable moments, such as seeing a pair of young Asian girls huddling up close to each other (maybe they were cold; after all it was only in the middle 50’s last night), one guy in attendance who looked like a younger version of Dr. Ken (you know, the bad guy in The Hangover, Role Models, and is on that one new NBC show) and seeing another girl bent over the bartop to chat with a barback and seeing that she was wearing a string thong… I know, not something that the female readers of this blog didn’t really need to know, but hey…

I wish I’d have more to say about the night, but at least I’m not really mad at Mako’s anymore and I don’t have heat with anyone there, so yay for that. I have no idea when I’ll be back there and I won’t even try to predict as the predictions usually don’t come true; I do have stuff planned for most of the weekends for about the next 5 or 6 weeks; it means that I’ll be able to do something those weekends which is unlike this weekend and the last one, when I had Jack Shit to do. Like I said already, expect my next blog sometime in the next few days.

If you’re wondering about the title like most of you reading this, let me explain. The early 80’s song Destroyer by The Kinks is about… well, I’m not sure what it’s about, actually (The Kinks are a pretty strange band, you know… aside from them being fronted by a pair of brothers who constantly feud with each other, their biggest hit was about a guy unknowingly falling in love with a transvestite!) but it’s a great catchy tune. Anyhow, the main lyric to the song is “Paranoia, the destroyer”, and well, I decided to put it on right as I started typing it and only then was I able to come up with a title for this blog, as I otherwise would’ve been stumped. As for the “Nic The Destroyer” ID’ed, for you guys that don’t follow the local Florida wrestling scene, there’s a fan known by that moniker. He’s “mentally handicapped”, sure, but he gets into the show hardcore and his enthusiasm for everything is great. Also, if you sing the aforementioned lyric and change it to the title of the blog, it works.

I really don’t have too much else to say about the past week, though, as there’s no exploits of adventures with alcohol, or tales of going out to watch the Chicago Bears play. The main thing is that on Tuesday I got my new credit card, it got activated, and it works fine. I don’t know what happened to cause the old one to get fouled up like it did, but I’ll cross my fingers that it won’t happen again. I mentioned it on Facebook (among other places) and I had people comment that I should go wild and go to downtown Orlando one night, or buy them dinner! Now people are giving me peer pressure to return to downtown Orlando; what should I do? But yeah, I was amused by their comments. Still, why do I have to be peer pressured to spend money and act a fool lol

There isn’t even much in the way of “road stories” to tell. Sure, earlier in the month I saw such idiocy as people driving at night with their brights on at all times and clowns in the left lane who are blocking the way of cops (sure, they were likely off-duty and just driving home, but how could you be that clueless not to notice a police vehicle right behind you, wanting to get by you?)… oh, if only I was a cop out on patrol. I’d be handing out tickets as if they were Tic-tacs!

To get to the (few) highlights of my past week, last Friday I decided to go to the Tampa area to kill time, and also to watch the movie Paranormal Activity again. The second time around, the crowd wasn’t large at all and they weren’t really into it and weren’t yelling in terror like the first time I saw it. But, I still enjoyed the flick and it still creeped me out. Some of my online pals have seen it and they had mixed reviews of it; to each their own but I think the audience you see it with can have an effect and if you see it I hope you like it. It’s opening wide tomorrow so it’ll be easier for everyone to see it.

I watched football at home during the weekend so I’ll skip ahead to Tuesday. I had dinner at a local TGIF as I had a free coupon for a Jack Daniel’s burger due to “friending” a gimmick account on Facebook. It wasn’t too shabby although I prefer their regular burger and who knows when I’ll be back there.

As for my plans for the next week, they’re even more barren than the past week, so who knows what I’ll have to write about or when I’ll write about it next. So, I might as well close this out by mourning the loss of the kid who got Falcon-punched to the great spaceship in the sky. Sorry for not being more sympathetic here, but hearing about loony parents who named their kid “Falcon” and work on some goofy experimental balloon and they leave it around for him to fly away in… besides the fact that it possibly is just a Mister Saint Laurent-level hoax here, if it’s true I don’t feel too affected by it, except for comedic purposes. Sorry, but it’s true. I mean, the parents believe that all humans descended from aliens! No kidding, I read that in an article just a few minutes ago.

That, plus this YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/wat..ch?v=EBWJXXgaYBo) of all their kids and they RAP about “pussification”. I wish I was making it up, but I’m not. What an f’ed up family!

So, that’s why I don’t have much in the way of compassion for this story.

First off, I should say that the credit card issues are finally resolved. I wish that my credit card company weren’t such paint-sniffing cretins and would’ve notified me of what was going on (like you know, the first time I called those guys late last month) but at least things should be fine now. I mean, about Goddamn time, I say.

Friday I went to Busch Gardens as I hadn’t been there since late 2004 and plus I went there with my family. Being around them was nice and all, but hey, the free trip there and back and not having to do any driving was nice too. I don’t really ride too many roller coasters in general and in hindsight, with my ill-fated trip to Illinois, maybe I should’ve gone to one of the amusement parks that I passed by on the way there and back and gone on those rides, cost be damned. But hey, maybe in the future… at the very least I would like to go to both Universal parks in Orlando during the winter months sometime, as I rarely go to them.

Busch Gardens was a lot of fun. Besides the rides it was also nice to look at all the animals they had there. SheiKra did live up to its billing, even though it’s basically one very impressive drop and another good one. That impressive drop was something I enjoyed, as it’s straight down 90 degrees and it’s fast, although it was the second drop that lifted me out of my seat the most. Anyhow, it was good times there, although during the evening while I was at home my right knee was hurting me for some reason.

Saturday I went to a wrestling show and that was a fun time. Sunday I went to good old Friendly Confines to watch the Bears play against the lowly Detroit Lions, who didn’t even win a game last year and just won their first game the weekend before. Much to my surprise the game was competitive in the first half and by halftime it was tied at 21. That wasn’t good. However, they turned it on in the second half and while throughout the game the running game wasn’t good except for some fluke plays (which describes how it’s been for this season, come to think of it), the passing game went swimmingly well and once again I have to say that I love Johnny Knox. With the benefit of great special teams from the Bears, they were able to win 48-24. Players from both teams got injured but luckily for Chicago this upcoming weekend is their bye week, meaning that they won’t play and hopefully by Sunday night the 18th everyone will be fine. They have to play against the Atlanta Falcons then and it won’t be an easy game for them, that’s for sure. It was fun there watching the Bears and the other games going on. I was even able to put up with the random idiots there, like the dopes who got up every 10 minutes to smoke cigarettes outside.

Monday evening I went during the late evening and saw the Toy Story/Toy Story 2 double feature in 3D. Would you believe that I had only seen the first one once before and had never seen the second one before? Sad but true. It was a great experience to see two awesome flicks back to back in that setting, on the big screen. While I wish I would have seen the flicks again/sooner, at least I got to see them this way. The crowd wasn’t large at all and yet of course some people there were Troglodytes. But, even though they were dumb they didn’t cause any problems when the movies started, so I really can’t carp too loudly. I definitely can’t carp about the presentation as the picture looked great (the 3D wasn’t overdone or distracting) and the inserts they had before the movies and during the 10 minute intermission were fun and fit perfectly. So, I give this a major thumbs up. You can read more about it at my movies blog page, at http://blairreviewsmovies.blogspot.com/

On the road, stuff has happened… I can’t seem but to think that the dumbest idiots are sometimes attracted to me as if they were bulldogs and I was wearing pork chop underwear! That includes being on the highway and having to deal with clueless putzes there. I’ll try and be careful, though, as I already had a chat with a cop once this year concerning my driving skills so I’d better not let it happen again, not to mention the scary incident I mentioned in the last blog with that one driver spinning out. The thing is, during this past weekend someone pointed their finger at me and demanded that I “drive safe”. It was done in a joking manner but I’d better seriously listen to their advice.

One last thing before I close this out: Mister Saint Laurent, a guy I’ve said too much about in the past, has his own YouTube account at: http://www.youtube.com/son..gsbymister. The only reason why I’m even revealing what it is and giving him a smidgen of publicity is that earlier in the week a spoof account was made on YouTube by someone. It’s at http://www.youtube.com/mis..tersaintlauren Someone took video clips of MSL performing and of him dancing with a guy he spoons with and set it to two of the gayest songs possible… It’s Raining Men and Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go! Tremendous. Yes, I do realize that the odds are likely that MSL himself created that spoof account as a way to get publicity as that’s how his sick diseased mind works (I think he’s not that far away from painting pictures with his own poop, but maybe that’s just me); for now, though, I’ll pretend that an enemy produced those amateurish but hilarious videos, which I have nothing to do with I swear.

I’ll be back sometime next week with a new blog.

I know, not an original title but I just wanted to mention a few quick things, besides the fact that I’m again having issues with my credit card. By the time I do my next blog, I’ll have an update on that and things should finally be resolved there.

There are two things from Sunday that I should’ve mentioned in the last blog but I’ll mention here instead. First things first, that one lady who was checking me out, if you were wondering why nothing happened once that incident occurred, it’s because she was with some dudes. I don’t know if they were all guy friends and one of them was a b/f or what the deal was, but because of that, I didn’t pursue things any further. The second thing is that there were some cougars there! No kidding. One of them happened to be a Seahawks fan so she cheered when they were doing well, and she didn’t cheer a lot in the second half. Another dame there certainly wasn’t a Cougar but she was a big Bears fan, to the point that she has the Bears logo tattooed on her leg. Awesome.

Not so awesome was the road rage incident I had Thursday afternoon, but I’d rather not chat about that. Me, I’m glad I did what I did as that guy was just a clueless idiot. Also on Thursday, people I knew had to deal with stuff like someone merging into their lane and they had to drive into the grass to avoid a collision, and another person had to deal with someone stopping for no reason at all in an E-Pass lane on 528 in South Orlando. Like I’ve said hundreds of times before, there is no shortage of total dipshit drivers in the state of Florida.

Tuesday I finally saw Sorority Row in full, and while you can read more about it on my movies blog page, in short I’ll say that it’s a goofy trashy movie and yet it’s entertaining so I’ll say that I had fun with it. Wednesday, I ended up going to the T. Rex restaurant again to have dinner there with family. It was a fun time there. After that I went to DisneyQuest again, and this time they have a pinball there based on… CSI! I swear, this is true. I couldn’t believe it. It’s not too bad, though. I arrived home and as I pulled in, my car had 50,000 miles on it exactly. Yes, that many miles and I’ve only had it for 27 months. Yeah, I drive to wrestling shows and the trip to Illinois and other places in August put on a few thousand to that, but I’ll try not to use it as much as I’ve had before, as hey the second 50,000 will undoubtedly have more problems with the car than the first 50,000, you know.

Friday I plan on going to Busch Gardens with some members of my family; it’ll be the first time I’ve been there in 5 years. No kidding. I haven’t even gone on the heavily hyped SheiKra ride yet. I’m interested in seeing how that is, and I’m sure I’ll have fun there. Sometime next week I’ll probably post my next blog.
