Soooo...ummm...what are you wearing?

This shirt.

Ask me anything. No, seriously, anything.

What would you do with your life if you could do anything and were not constrained by the things that currently constrain you?

I would create. I'm not exactly sure what but I would spend my time creating things that bring joy to others. I do a lot of thinking and a good chunk of it is trying to find out where my strengths are, what my talents are and how I can build them up so that I may be able to make something that I'm not only proud of and can say "Yes, I did that!" but something that can entertain, make people laugh and help them enjoy life more, if only for a moment.

That or sleep. A lot.

This Is What Happens When You Have Nothing To Write About

First of all, before I get going into...whatever the hell I'm going to talk about today, I'd like to thank the patrons of the Wrestlecrap Forum.  Because of them, I managed to get just under 200 hits over the course of last Wednesday through Friday.  Thursday alone netted me 122 hits, which is easily a record for the most in one day so far.  However, there comes a negative side to this.  They only really came because I posted a link to my article about NXT Season 2 and while I'm glad they read it, they're seemingly the only ones that have.  And after Friday, my daily hits went back down into the single digits.  Hell, no one has even visited the blog today so far (though hopefully that'll change once I post this).  So I'm really thinking about things I can do or specific stuff I can write about that'll get more people to read and, more importantly, keep them coming back.  I know there's an audience for my inane ramblings somewhere out there.  Why else would internet reviewers and stupid YouTube vloggers get so many people to follow them?  I just wanna jump up and down and complain loudly about stupid crap for a living, that's all.  And judging from all the Tea Partiers and Town Hall meetings lately, that seems to truly be the American dream.

Which brings me to my current quandary: I have nothing to write about right now.

A Look at WWE NXT: Season 2

For those of you that don't follow professional wrestling, then the bulk of this entry will probably sail straight over your head.  But for those of you that do, then you probably already know that WWE's NXT has started it's second "season".  To me, the concept is pretty novel: Pair 8 "Rookies" with 8 WWE "Pros" and have them show their talent via a reality show-type format where the winner receives a WWE contract and a title match at a future pay-per-view event.  However, Season 1 seemed to be a work in progress, starting off strong then flailing in the water with weak storylines (save for the epic Daniel Bryan vs Michael Cole story) and embarrassing  Physical Challenges straight out of a mid-'90s Nickolodeon show.  Luckily NXT ended Season 1 fairly strong by naming it's first winner and winding up becoming part of one of the most intriguing storylines in recent memory.  Therefore, before I take a look at Season 2's class of Rookies, let me catch you up with what happened at the end of Season 1.

The A-Team Mini-Review and Other Things I've Watched Lately

This one's going to be a bit of a quickie...well, I say that NOW but you know my tendency to ramble on about nothing in particular.  But I figured I'd get this one out of the way right away and real quick while it's still fresh on my mind. 

Anyway, I decided to check out The A-Team last night with a few friends and it was quite fun.  But as much as I liked it, there's not really a lot to talk about, which is another reason why this blog entry may run a bit short.  The A-Team is very much a "What You See Is What You Get"-type of movie.  If you've seen the trailers, you can pretty much tell whether or not you want to see it.  If you want to see it, you'll know exactly what you're in for.  And if you don't, there's nothing that's going to make you change your mind.  Simply put, if you think people shooting airplanes out of the sky from a parachuting tank is awesome, then you'll love the movie.  If you think it's dumb, then you'll hate it.  Simple as that. 

What is the kindest thing someone has done for you recently?

A girl called me "cute" recently. Not really "cute" as in "OMG you're so good looking, I want you NOW!" but "Aw, you're so nice."...which I normally hate as I've only heard "You're so nice" as some sort of excuse but she did actually use the word "cute" so I accepted it. She also asked why I didn't have a girlfriend and I could've given her a whole list of reasons but I decided to just accept the compliment.

Ask me anything. No, seriously, anything.

Aside from Japan, what country would you most like to visit in the world?

Hong Kong!

Ok, since I'd go to Hong Kong for many of the same reasons I'd go to Japan, I guess I should pick something else. I don't know, I think England would be nice, visiting all the little burghs and such. Speaking as a metalhead, Norway would be fun...but I hate snow so maybe not.

6 (And A Half) Reasons Why Dragonball: Evolution Isn't THAT Bad

It should be known by now that I'm willing to subject myself to horrible movies for reasons that I'm not quite sure of myself.  Sure, a part of me hates it whenever I end up seeing something really bad, but a bigger part of me actually ENJOYS these bad movies.  They usually have a charm to them, whether it be a low-budget movie that can't quite pull off everything it wanted to or a big-budget one that tried to do too many things and forgot to just be really good at one aspect.  Also, there's the simple fact that, much like child stars who grow up to become heroin addicts, I just want to see things fall apart and fail right before my very eyes.  Even though it took me quite a while after it's theatrical release to see it, I finally subjected myself to a movie that many people consider their "Worst Movie Ever" - Dragonball: Evolution.  And to be honest, I didn't think it was all that bad!  But to be even more honest, I wasn't really paying 100% attention to it but that's neither here nor there.  Sure, I'm willing to give plenty of bad movies a pass just because I enjoyed them for all the wrong reasons, but I believe that Dragonball: Evolution may be getting a bad rap.  So allow me to help bring peace to the world by making a list with an arbitrary random amount of points that no one will read about a crappy movie that isn't really all that crappy.  Ladies and gentlemen, I bring to you...

What is your favourite sushi roll?

Just about anything from Uraku in Bowling Green *shameless plug* To be more precise, anything that ends in the word "Deluxe", on the rare chance I can actually afford it.

I'm partial to anything tuna or crab. I'm not a big fan of the California Roll, though.

Ask me anything. No, seriously, anything.

Why do guys like to make fun of each other (and other people) so much?

Because we have low self-esteem and it makes us feel better. Hell, I'll admit it.

But like I tell my friends "I make fun of you because I like you." It's like a form of endearment via ridicule. If I didn't like you, chances are I'd probably just not talk to you. If I feel comfortable enough around you to say dumb stuff and believe you won't punch me in the face, that shows trust.

Or something. I'm not really sure what I'm talking about.

Oh yeah, and I make fun of people I don't know because they're stupid. So there.

Ask me anything. No, seriously, anything.
