Having one of those mornings where everything is breaking down at the same time.
Time to give up on a few mundane things, and re-think what is really important.
I did a small rant the other week on the wrestling blog about how disappointed I am with the at that point listing for wrestlmaina 30...I haven't really sorted out my thoughts on it since. I know, that those of you who read me on a regular basis will be checking this week for my usual pre-ppv thoughts. Bare with me, my mind is everywhere but there.
Spring is here. Just not in the city where I live. Still have snow up to my ankles. About to have the second cup of coffee for the day, and trying to make sense of some strange events that sprung out of nowhere this morning.

Feb 6th 2014
I've had a few people comment to me about the fact, I haven't written anything about the big WWE Network news...
Here's my reason, and I'm posting it here for now, (I will talk about it at some point in the future on my wrestling blog) I'm Canadian. From everything that I've been reading about the big launch of the network, it's only being launched in the United States of America right now. The rest of the world, Canada included, have to wait months, maybe even a year or more before we will have it available to us.
Sucks don't it.
Two things. One- there is the question of why didn't the WWE just wait till they could launch it worldwide at the same time? and Two- I understand wanting to launch some version of it as quickly as possible. So fans like me, who live outside of the U.S.A., have no reason to get excited right now. And given the fact that once it's launched, everything will be available it seems on the digital network, that we won't miss anything. As in, it will be on demand.
On Demand. Two words that has changed the way people think just in the last couple of years.
Will I be signing up for the WWE Network? As soon as it's available in Canada, which I've been told will be October 2014 or later.
Hell, we've all waited this long for a wrestling network, whats a few more months?
The next question it brings up is, how far behind that, before other wrestling companies or sports companies in general, begin to jump onto this type of bandwagon? Would a general all wrestling channel be a good thing? I'm sure it's become a topic of conversation everywhere and I would have to say, that yes I think it would.

You ever have one of those really weird nights?
Okay, I got an email from youtube for an old account that was never connected to youtube. Then when I went into my youtube, I found one of my cooking videos has a notice on it saying it's banned in certain countries because of a sound effect, and there is a link to buy the music on itunes, only it's a sound effect. It's not music. So I have no idea what is going on. If I still had the video footage, it was on the old computer that died few years ago, if I still had it, I would just remake the sound for it.
Yeah, crazy right?

I am made of you
Did everyone catch last night's ppv? Groovy, I did a really quick run down...and when I say really quick, I mean just the points, on my wrestling blog....
What else have I to say for myself....um...er...dude...I don't know. This Friday is the Chinese New Year, and it will be year of the Horse. Don't have a lot of details on what it all means, just that I'm looking forward to it.
For any of my Spudguns! who's been with me for the last few years, you might have noticed that I go in strange directions when it comes to stuff I talk about. The big ones being vampires, wrestling and movies. And that's just a note for anyone stumbling across me for the first time. Vampires, Wrestling, Movies. Sometimes it's vampire movies, or wrestling vampires, and there was at lest once where it was a movie about vampires who wrestle.
Today's title comes to you as a quote from an Alice Cooper song.
Yes, I'm rambling. For those who have been following my One Movie a Day blog...today's post is up. Year 3 Day 48. And if you're following that then you have the link...and if you are stumbling on me for the first time...link
Um....did I like last night's WWE ppv? Yes, on the majority I did. I actually thought it was one of the better ones I've seen in ...years. Little pissed off about my Rumble pick not making the final cut, but it would seem no one wanted to make me happy this ppv.
My pick was Seth Rollins.
and now...time for coffee.

Okay, now I'm pissed.
Everyone knows that I've been a major fan of TNA wrestling for years. I've never missed an episode, even if it meant seeing it a week or two late on the Spike website. For a bunch of reasons, over the years I've had to go from watching on old fashioned tv screens to watching online. iTunes Canada carried it for years then stopped about two years ago, and I've been catching it on the official Spike site ever since.
Till this morning.
I went to watch last week's episode, and got the message "We're sorry this video is not available in your location." Okay, I'm thinking it's just being added to the playlist, and waited a bit. Tried again, got the same thing, then tried another older episode, and got the same message.
So TNA Impact is no longer being offered in Canada online it would seem. And as far as I can tell, their official youtube only does bits and pieces. To say this sucks is a major understatement, as TNA Impact has been a staple in my life since 2005.
I really don't understand why suddenly after all these years, that would happen? It sucks, I'm pissed off, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels slapped in the face just because I am outside of the U.S.A.

When did it become 2014?
New year already. Where did the time go?
I went in to blog on my movie blog, and had frealing issues. Went to do something on my wrestling blog, had frealing issues. Came in here, and frealing issues. Need to rant now.
For those of you who follow my movie blog, it's on again man! For those of you who have no idea what the hell I'm going on about... in 2011/2012 I decided to do a One movie a Day challenge. The rules were simple, I had to watch one different movie a day for the year and blog about it. It was mildly successful. I tried doing a second year last year; themed of course. All vampires, but sadly, it kicked my ass. So, on the anniversary of the blog, last month, I started a third year of the One movie a Day challenge. Today makes Day 31.
Who did not see the split of Cowboy James Storm and Gunner? I think we all saw that without glasses few months ago. I'm only a week behind on episodes of TNA Impact. And only because the Spike site hasn't put up last week's episode yet.
So it's 2014...wow, I feel so old.
That's about all for right now...we've had -30degree C with -44degree C windchill. Too cold for living.

Dude....really?
Weirdness. Don't you hate it when the internet burps? You know what I mean, my lovely Spudguns!, when you're doing something online, like blogging, or chatting, or watching episodes of Supernatural on Netflix, and suddenly everything freezes on you, and you realize that it's the internet having gone out.
Damn I hate that.
And what's up with wrestler Seth Rollins's hair? Dude, please, pick one colour and stick with it.
love Ardeth Blood.
