3 AWESOME THINGS

In the past couple of weeks I have gotten a few super awesome things that I would like to share with you. Here they are in order of gettingness:

Awesome Thing #1 - Awesome Old Lady Robot Shades



I've been trying to hunt down some awesome old lady sunglasses for awhile now, but haven't been able to find any! It looked like all hope was lost when Elly found some completo neato shades in some small town Missouri place she went to for Thanksgiving. I don't think there could be shades any more awesome than these. I was extremely afraid that I would lose them or break them and would never be able to get any more. I tracked them down online and will able to purchase more if need be! It also turns out that they are safety glasses instead of sunglasses. It feels the same to me!

Awesome Thing #2 - Somewhat Kick-Ass ski mask



I went shopping @ The Granite City Salvation Army a week or two ago with my pal Christopher. I usually find a sweet bounty every time I go there, but this time I didn't find diddly shit (Chris got the few good things that were there) BUT BUT BUT BUT but but but I did find this sweet ski mask that looks kinda like the mask that Kick-Ass wears in the comic book Kick-Ass. It's not exactly the same, but it's green and yellow and can be modified a bit to look more like his. Nice! I think that finding this ski mask was a sign that I need to write a song about Kick-Ass and make a video of me dressed up like Kick-Ass kicking people's asses. Kick-Ass! Here's what Kick-Ass looks like in case you didn't know:



Awesome Thing #3 - Galactus Mighty Mugg



I went to Toys R Us to look for wrestling toys as usual a few weeks back and saw that there was a Galactus Mighty Mugg figure! What! I immediately got super excited and went about hunting this fool down. My pal Greg called me up while I was on my initial search and informed me that Kevin (a dude we both know) had recently purchased one. Damn Kevin! So I spent the next few weeks going to all the Wal-Mart's, Target's, and Toys R Us over and over again hoping that Galactus would leap into my arms. I kept failing until I was talking to my mom on the phone about what she wanted for Christmas as I was walking in Toys R Us. Then I saw him. I ran down the aisle shrieking "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my GOD!" until I snagged the little fella and was on my way to the check out lane. Victory!

Welp, that's all the awesome things I can think of. They are very awesome.

an old broken down piece of meat

I saw the movie The Wrestler a few weeks ago. It was really great. I like wrestling and I like good movies. I never thought the two would go together. Until now...

shit girl

It was a crazy nonstop action weekend.
I played a show with The Vanilla Beans on Friday night. Hosted the Nothing Still CD Release show on Saturday night. Then last night I played a birthday party in Springfield, IL. All of this nonstop action left 0 time for blogging. Today was filled with work and sleeping and now wrestling is about to come on. So I'm sorry baby girl, but I'll just have to blog the shit out of the world tomorrow.

Big Man Japan

This looks awesome!

You know what I hate?

OVENS!

Assholes. Every one of them.



I heated up some Thai Pizza in the oven the other day and when I pulled the pizza pan out of the OVEN it somehow touched my arm on my sweet left muscley area and it burnt me! Then when I set down the pizza pan I tried to pick it up again with my bare hand for some reason and burnt that too!

So thanks OVEN for making things really really hot. Dick!

I like her hands

My pal Kanye posted this in his blog the other day.
It's a really great performance.
Watch it.

I'm DOLPH ZIGGLER!

RAW RECAP 12/01/08

Wrestling last night was totally sweet!
Chris Jericho was is usual douchey self which is getting better every single week. I'm already sick of seeing John Cena and he just came back from injury. Shawn Michaels is my favorite wrestler of all time, but I'm not sure how much I'm going to like this new feud with JBL where Shawn Michaels is poor because of the bad economy so he has to decide if he is going to beat JBL's ass or work for him? Whaaaat? CM Punk and Kofi were awesome as usual. Now on to the best moments of RAW!

Santino!
Santino is the best part of RAW every week for the most part. He doesn't even wrestle half of the time. This week he did some nice commentary during a divas match, but it was total gold when he tried to do Melina's doing-the-splits-and-going-under-the-bottom-rope entrance. Then Goldust showed up! Awesome! The video is below, the good stuff doesn't start til after the match.

This week's RAW also had the in ring debut of Dolph Ziggler. He's been in the back introducing himself to everyone for months now and I wasn't that impressed (especially since he used to be in The Spirit Squad) but he was actually pretty awesome. The fact that he kept introducing himself during the whole match made it even better.

Michael Cole pretty much blows as a wrestling announcer, but he seems like a nice guy. He said that Rey Mysterio was "like a sorcerer in there." That was funny.

Randy Orton showing up at the end and looking like he was covered in grease was another highlight of the evening.

I'm done!

Devourer of Cuteness

I want this lil' guy so bad! I've been searching high and low at the local Wal-Mart's, Target's, Toys 'R' Usz, and still nothing! I could just order it online, but it'll cost me an extra 8 bucks for shipping and there's no fun in the hunt if I do that. When I do finally track down this mighty Galactus Mighty Mugg it's going to throw off the whole setup of my computer desk because right now Wolverine and Iron Man are guarding the sides of it with Shawn Michaels at the top (as he should be.) When Galactus comes home, I have nooooo idea where I'm going to put the little feller. It's stressing me out. I'm up to here. I will find you Galactus and you will find a nice place to sit in my room.

Electric Six show review

I found an awesome review of my show with Electric Six while googling myself the other day. You can check it out here.

Here's what he had to say about me...

The first guy to go on was a hoot-and-a-half; totally made up for the yawn of a second act, a some-how popular Chicago act called Local H. More on them later. Superfun Yeah Yeah Rocketship, I think, is a one man electro/dance sensation. He wore an American flag halter top, an American flag head band, and stars-and-stripes hot pants. Steven Colbert and Shawn Michaels held the fort down, stage right and left respectively, which complimented his spangled arm bands. His first song summed up his performance entirely - "Awesome". A sample of the man's awesomeness: "I am awesome/You are awesome/And we are totally awesome/Woo!" I forgot to mention another part of his ensemble. When he took an aside for drinks of water, he drank out of a plastic fuel can. Yes, he is awesome.

His love of wrestling was very apparent throughout his show. After the first song, he had the audience stand aside so he could run and dance up and down the room. The cat's got some smooth moves. He would snuggle with girls, spit water on unsuspecting pedestrians, and smell whoever was within his proximity. That during his song "You Smell GoooooooD". He did a great job with just a computer and calories. I bet his records are good for a giggle from time to time, but his live show is where its at. I will definitely keep my eyes and ears open for him in the future.

This guy is one smart cookie!

I wish Smokey the cat (who lives in my house) would stop meowing all the damn time.

the host with the leastest

I'm hosting the Nothing Still CD Release show next weekend. I'm going to be talking in between bands and playing some songs and such. At first I was very reluctant to do this kinda deal, but I'm actually really looking forward to it and depending on how it goes, might do some more of it in the future. It's going to be a lot of fun, so come check it out if you feel like it.

Here's two great songs I've been listening to quite a bit today.

Akon - We Don't Care
The Killers - Tidal Wave

The Akon jam is the final album version of the demo "Could You Be The Reason" that leaked on the internet a year or so ago. It's such a great jam. It gets the people going. The Killers track is a B-side from their new album and is better than a few of the tunes on the album by far.

and I'm going to make a music video purty soon.

I never forgot the name...

GOLDUST!

(that was Goldust's little catchphrase thing back in the day "You will never forget the name (suuuuuuck) Goldust)

Goldust (one of my favorite wrestlers of all time) popped back in the WWE last month for the Cyber Sunday pay per view and came out and roughed up one of my other favorite wrestlers, Santino Marella. I was hoping for a Goldust comeback and my dreams totally came true! Goldust has signed a new WWE contract and showed up last Monday on RAW to take on Santino Marella in a short, but sweet match.
