Stupid machines

I've been trying to import my old posts from my old blogs, and it's not working. Best I can figure is that it's cause I have a Mac. 
It's not reading the files or something.  

You know what this is going to mean right?   I'm going to have to cut and paste 3 years worth of posts into this new blog.   Dude!

I am loving the Face turn of Orton, and I just love Sheamus! They had a match later in the night. .... The number one contenders match then became a 3 way match with Sheamus vs Orton vs Batista. Batista rolled out of the ring letting Sheamus and Orton start. Which Sheamus did by attacking Orton with a series of forearms and punches to the neck.

This gave Batista the chance to roll over for a lazy cover and the win.

A battle royal Smackdown vs Raw. These are one of the worst to try to cover. Team Smackdown was Rey Mysterio/Kane/Drew McIntyre/R-Truth/Shad the Team Raw was MVP/Mark Henry/Santino/Ted DiBiasi/Yushi Katshu (sorry I've never seen this guy's name printed before forgive me not knowing it) this was chaos. Raw won the elimination battle royal getting 3 draft picks.

Morrison used a side russian leg sweep. Swagger then used his gutwrench powerbomb for the win.

Dolph Ziggler vs Hornswaggle. That's just wrong. Ziggler got knocked out of the ring, and Hornswaggle started to toss his shoes at him and his hat keeping Ziggler out of the ring during the ten count. Hornswaggle won because of a count out.

This was one of the best WWE shows I've seen in months. The fact they did not use any guest host and just stuck to matches was a good move. The matches were in the most part solid with cleaver "match ups" in almost all regards (the Hornswaggle match sucked) As I have been saying for the last few months, I am really hoping that a nice long feud (6 months tops) comes about between Orton and Sheamus. That would be a pairing that would make me happy. Both wrestlers are technically sound, both have decent promo skills, both have a solid footing in their roles.

Screen captures were done with my webcam up to the television

But what would the damned really have to say to the damned?

That's a quote from Interview with the Vampire.  I've had that line stuck in my head all morning. I woke up this morning, made a coffee, and past my own reflection in the bathroom mirror and poof that line came out of my mouth. 
Here's the thing,  I think I look cute in my pajamas.  My hair a mess, make-up from yesterday slightly smudged and faded, and my missing toothed smile.
Yes folks I am missing a front tooth that I cover when in public with a fake one.   The only thing I fake in life.   So eat your heart out Demi Moore, I was rocking that look before you were.

Now, if there was just a way to remove the damnable freckles. They are so clumped together they look like large orange hyena spots.

Williams then used a basement slide on Sabin before turning back to Shelley with a series of fists.

What is it with you and those Motorcity Boys?

 For those of you that follow my old blog, you know I have been running a gimmick for over a year now, where I have been going on about Chris Sabin's hair, and how I would love to cut it.

I've also been going on about Alex Shelley, and how perfect I think he is... minus the fact I think he's a little on the skinny side.

I swore I would stop with my silliness because, well I'm old.  Almost a full decade older then they are and I'm getting the evil eye from my very strict-married-with-children-friends who feel I am acting too much like a 12 year old at a Backstreet Boy concert.  
Well, yeah and what's your point?  I have never denied that I am acting like a 12 year old at a Backstreet Boy concert.  That's what the whole point of the gimmicks are for. To express my dorkdom over my two favourite celebrities. 
I have tried to stop on more then one occasion, but you know what, I don't want to!  I just don't want to stop being a frealing nutball over them.  I like them.  I adore them. I want to see what Chris Sabin would look like with a haircut similar to Alex Shelley.

But hey, I'm a Twiztid/ICP fan, what do you expect from me... seriousness?  But this is serious, this is musical chairs and limbo.

A little hero worship never hurt

The thing with addictions, sometimes rehab doesn't work and you have a slip and fall right back into your addiction. I know I said no more silliness but... Damn it Janet! Mr. Shelley is just so frealing hot!

I can't help it SIR I HAVE AN ADDICTION! and he's beautiful I like to look at him. Is it possible to overdose on a man? Not sure, but I'm very willing to try.
Okay, so I have the maturity of a cat in heat. Alright enough creepiness for one morning, I'm off to book club, and yes I'll have another Book Dork is In post when I get back later.
