Blair’s Soliloquies, Issue Thirty-Six

As always this is my opinion and no one else's.

Computer problems and exposing the idea of large moving ice mass in an enclosed structure.

I do apologize for this going up a few days later than expected but a bad sense of circumstances happened to me. Mainly, the cheap computer I bought Thanksgiving Eve due to problems with the old computer broke down on me suddenly. The plan was always to get a better computer in the summer; well, because of this, I ended up having to get one sooner than expected. It happened in the late afternoon of the 4th of July. As it happened on that day I had to wait until tomorrow to get the new one. That was no buys. I ended up going out on the 4th and it was to downtown Orlando to watch fireworks and then do other stuff; you can read a recap of that here at http://tinyurl.com/kkyvz7

Sunday I purchased a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion Slimline s5120l with an Athlon Dual-Core processor, 4 gigs of memory, half a Terabyte hard drive, and the much loathed Windows Vista (Home Premium, to be exact). Vista’s not *that* bad, although XP is better. It runs great so far and I should have better luck with this one.

So, I had to spend time updating everything, installing programs, and all that jazz; so, that’s why this is going up at this time rather than earlier. However, note that much of the stuff I had on the cheap computer wasn’t lost forever, as I regularly either save stuff on burned DVD-Rom discs or flash drives. I recommend that everyone do this… especially if your name is Mister Saint Laurent…

Let me digress for a minute. A few weeks ago on his crappy board he started a whiny thread where he bemoaned his laptop dying out of nowhere and he just HAD to get a new one right away so he bought a random one at Wal-Mart at like 4 in the morning, without doing any research on them or waiting until the next day to go to a few stores to find the best deal on the best laptop to suit his needs? What is he, a 5 year old that-if his favorite toy breaks-he has to get a replacement *immediately?* Oh wait, MSL is the guy that needs a “handler” (i.e. butt-sniffer) to accompany him at all times in any public place… he IS a 5 year old, at least in intellect.

Even dumber than that is that the old laptop was his life-you know, it had photos, documents, and most importantly, the music that he was working on during his fad* as a musician was lost for good after the machine crashed due to the fact that he never saved any of his work on any device! That’s right, not on a flash drive, a DVD-Rom or an external hard drive. It was all gone and he was all emo about it. Shouldn’t he know better? For an alleged genius he is really dumb sometimes! A Terabyte hard drive is less than 200 dollars now and there are smaller sizes that are cheaper but sufficient enough to hold such things as music files; despite his fashion sense he has money so he can afford a Terabyte hard drive (“homeless chic” is the best way to describe what he wears; does he own any shirts that has sleeves? I don’t think so). I’m sure that he’ll never back up anything on his new laptop and new calamities will happen… “don’t be like Doofus” is the message you should learn from this. Also, and this is for everyone, make sure you have some sort of anti-virus program on your computer, along with something else that takes out spyware, like Spy Doctor.

• I say “fad” as c’mon now, we know that’s what it is. It’s not his “career” or anything of that sort. Remember now, he used to be a musician a few years ago, but for no reason at all gave it up and said he was retired for good. I’m sure that eventually he’ll drop this hobby and as horrifying as it is to me, he will return to wrestling in the ring in matches one of these days; I just can’t wait to see him stink up the ring on a weekly basis again with his goofy comical offense and his overall Muppet style.

The Past Two Weekends

You can read about my past few weekend by looking at the last few entries of my MySpace blog but I’ll talk a bit about Saturday the 27th as I surprised a lot of people. I’ll copy and paste from a MySpace blog in excerpts and then add some comments at the end.

After the movie (The Hangover; I saw it and the experience was ruined by some baboons in the crowd; I saw it again on another day and I enjoyed it more) I went to a popular Orlando adult store for the first time; people I know have gone to it but I hadn’t until this night; it’s Fairvilla Megastore and they have a few of them around Florida. To me, it’s like the few other adult stores I’ve been in before, except that this one is cleaner, larger, and has more of a selection of some stuff. That’s really it. Now that I’ve been to it, I doubt I’ll go back anytime soon. I did at least purchase a magazine, which ended up under my mattress once I got home… just kidding.

Once I left the adult store, I went up the road a mile or so to go to a Winghouse as there was a wrestling show after-party there. That’s right, I attended the after-party but didn’t attend the show itself. If you’re wondering why I’d do such a thing, note that the wrestling show is ran by Mister Saint Laurent and it’s pretty much a hangout/convention for him and his mindless zombie Toady lackey followers where they can stroke their own egos (and small penises) and watch a show where things are done that just doesn’t appeal to me at all. The events/matches are too short, there’s no real storylines from one show to the next (just a bunch of random shit happening, really) and having to be around the Toadies… that’s why I won’t be at those shows any longer. I still decided to go to this after-party (which is a first time ever thing for this promotion) and see some people there that I know; sure, it means that I also have to hang around the lackeys, but what can you do? Overall, it was entertaining enough there. The people I was hoping to meet there didn’t show up until later but I unexpectedly ran into someone I knew and I managed to drink two beers there, and both were free! Yay! When my pals showed up I chatted with them and some other people but then I left to go to my last stop before calling it a night; some people were disappointed that I was leaving, but I was there longer than expected and I didn’t want my plans ruined, dammit!

Yes, I went to the Believe after-party and not Believe itself; the reasons why I don’t want to go to that fed have been stated many times before, but as for my activity-filled Saturday night I decided to be different and do some things, which was see a movie, then go to an adult store that I’m sure Robdog has been to a few times before (if not, I’ll eat my hat!), then Winghouse and then a certain club in downtown Orlando. Overall it was a fun night although not as great as I was hoping for. As for my time at Winghouse, it was fine enough, but I don’t think I’ll be doing that again. I just don’t like being around those certain people and when the head honcho there tried to talk to me I just ignored him. Everyone was surprised to see me and I was able to chat with a few people, including Lew Spectre, who was one of the two that gave me a beer. He was in town for a convention and he tried to watch the Believe show but… I won’t tell the whole story but just know that it’s pretty apparent that Mister Saint Laurent is legit scared of Lew! Yep, a real coward; and people wonder why I don’t want to give money to him or go to Believe… like I said it was nice as a one time only thing but I won’t be hitting up the Believe after-parties ever again.

When Piggy Tuthill found out that I was there and didn’t get any food and had both beers bought for me by other people he flipped out and was all sanctimonious and pious about me being evil by being at that Winghouse and not spending any money there. Besides the fact that I’m sure he ate enough there for *three* normal-sized adults*, I ended up there unexpectedly on the night before the 4th of July and this time I ordered the chicken fingers and a Heineken Light and paid for it, so Butthill can go piss up a rope!

• As I said in a thread on Florida Wrestling Fans, “the only athletic thing that Tuthill does is run to the buffet line at Shoney's right before they close! No offense, but he looks enormous now (like 400 pounds, and he's "an emotional eater" too) and the only way he's "pushed his body or mind to an extreme state for no other reason but to find out his limits" is when he tries to break his own record of eating numerous slices from large pizzas in one sitting!” Francisco Ciatso then responded by saying that, to paraphrase, for once in my life I made him laugh. Um, thanx, I guess.

As for the last Believe show, this thread explains what happened there, and yeah I’m glad I decided not to attend that event. It’s yet another too short show with most of it being random stuff that happens randomly and stuff that happens at one show doesn’t have any relation to what happened at a past show or what happens at a future show. The match with Larry Z only lasting 2 ½ minutes then him “quitting” the fed… whatever this is it’s destined to FAIL, I’m betting. And while the main event sounds and looks like a crazy brawl that I’m sure I would have enjoyed, I don’t think I would have enjoyed seeing Zoe abused as if she was Tina Turner, with her being thrown down stairs, being hit with steel chairs on multiple occasions, and other sick crap that I don’t think she should be doing. Then again I’ve never really enjoy man vs. woman matches all that much; I’m sure that fat sacks of shit like Butthill will try to claim that I’m “sexist” or some such nonsense; I can’t quite explain it myself but they’re just not for me and seeing a dame get bruises and welts (um, isn’t wrestling supposed to be in most cases that it’s supposed to look real but it’s actually choreographed and it’s not as painful as it looks?) is not appealing at all. Hearing that there was a fan vote to determine the main event challenger for Chasyn Rance at their next show and the winner was Zoe… most of the time isn’t it that the bookers of the fed are the ones that tell the fans what they want to see? I guess that’s not the case in this joke of a fed. Speaking of jokes…

This will probably be the last time I ever mention it on here, but a few weeks ago on a local indy wrestling radio show there was a prank caller (and to me anyone that prank calls needs to have boric acid poured into their ears; in this case I’m sure the particular person who made those calls was either ATM or Nathan Warren) who called in a few times and each time he demanded something and said it in a catchphrase. After that radio show appearance it was heavily praised by many people (mostly MSL’s mouthbreathing butt-sniffing sycophants) but I wished death via fire squad on this individual. I didn’t think anything of it until you know who created a website devoted to that prank caller and demanded that he must know who is behind it. Prank calls were done on a few different shows, none of which I listen to and I was quite obviously trolled into writing about it by being accused of being behind it; obviously, MSL himself is behind this viral marketing BS which was planned to lead to some sort of angle at some sort of show and whichever fed is behind it, it would be likely that I’d never attend one of their shows again for being involved with this claptrap; as with all MSL angles, it’s Internet-only and magically, they ALL fail and don’t draw a damn dime. But, it may be something that was dropped out of nowhere-not an uncommon thing for an MSL angle-as I haven’t heard anything about it in days. Maybe it has to do with me on Florida Wrestling Fans exposing how it was a fraud and a sham. I can’t help but laugh AT the people who thought this was a good idea.

I was going to write more for this but due to the aforementioned problems with my computer I’ll have to save it for later this month. Note that the shows I plan on going to this month are WXW in Minneola on the 11th (followed up by watching the rest of UFC 100 somewhere), Vintage in Sanford on the 18th, and then (probably) ASW in Spring Hill on the 25th as at least it’s something different. Also this month, before I leave for my trip to Illinois, I’ll post two more Issues where I present the matches that I liked the most in the first half of this year. The WXW review should be up by Monday the 13th.
