*whuh...What a week

-OK, first things first. I've left the NAW. It's gone through a change of ownership and the momentium that we had fell off. I knew it was time to give it up after sitting in front of a blank WORD screen for 45 minutes. Nothing against the gang there, but it's time to put CD Lawrence to rest. Maybe he'll be reborn in another forum (Another one of those book projects I'm always thinking about)

-It been a busy week here in the Doyle Household. Last sunday, Mom threw a surprize birthday party for my grandmother, who today turns 80. Some of Gram's friends were here. She said it was the first birthday party she'd had. This was followed up by basically a week of celebrations, and people coming up to visit, along with a phone ringing off the hook with good wishes. Anyone who has Friday's Miramichi Weekend can see her pic in the paper, as we put in a birthday announcement.

-Also going on this weekend is the annual miramichi Dog show, which has mom and dad running around. I used to take part in this, but kind of fell out as the people that I knew did as well

-We took a trip to Moncton yesterday, so mom could pick up a dog from a friend of her's. Going down anyway, I decided to go into Future shop and pick up a couple of PS2 games. So I got NHL 2005 (with a bonus extra controller) and Def Jam: Fight for NY.

I really like NHL 2005, with the World Cup of Hockey feature. I've been playing that a lot. I also now know why they were giving the controller away. It's a little bigger then a regular one. It's going to take a little getting used to.

Def Jam is going to take a LOT of getting used to. I've had 15 fights and had my ass handed to me 15 times. But it's a great game. Can't wait to spend some time on it.

-Question: Future show has all these new TV screens for sale...Why do they still have the old green screens for the checkout's?

My new "Most annoying"

SF:I don't know what my password is, Do you know what it is?
Me: No, But I can reset it. What would you like your password to be/
SF: Can I have the same as it was before

We've both already had the conversation that neither of us know what the password is, so how can I reset it to the same thing it is now?

I really should drink more

Poker on TSN

Finally..TSN is going to start showing the World Series of Poker for this year starting Monday

Random Update

-Yes...Carrie you are right. He would be a Whittiker, but half a Kenny :)

-Made my Preorder for WWE Smackdown! Vs RAW It's still over 2 months away, but I can't wait. Now I just need to clear enough room off the card for it.

-Bittorrent is great, I just wanted to say that. I've got WWF Superstars: The Past 10 years the past week. It was the last Syndicated WWF Superstars before the show was made into a clip show that eventually turned into The WWE Experience. Watching it (It's from 1996) I never realized now many of the people featured init we've lost. Mr. Perfect Curt Henning; Gorilla Monsoon; Brian Pillman; Davey Boy Smith; Yokozuna and Owen Hart, all passed on; most before their time.

-Song I like that I thought was going to be bigger then it was: Bachelor Girl: Buses and Trains

So much game My nickname should be ESPN

-There is a new Kenny in the world today. Dana and Dave had thier second child today, a boy, Tanner Joseph. Mom and Child are doing fine. I think I used this joke last time but Grandpa Joe already has the kid spoiled

-Willie, I hate it when people say they know something but can't say anything. That's really not right :)

-So I picked my new schedule today. There was NOTHING worth anything by the time I got to it, at least not what I wanted (early Morning with 2 days off in a Row) so I went with:

Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off
Monday: Noon to 8:30
Tuesday: 2:30 to 11pm
Wednesday: 3 to 11:30pm
Thursday: 2:30 to 11pm
Friday: 2:30pm to 11pm

The weekend off is nice with hockey season coming and just regular weekend things. It's just going to be a bitch getting turned around to that time of day.

-People that are landing here from the NavBar, if you don't mind, leave a note on the tagboard. I like seeing what people have to say. I looked at that NWA link that was left. I wish that there was a local wrestling company like that here in New Brunswick. Maybe soon...

Do you play Hockey?

Just back from my second live hockey game of the season as the Timberwolves are back in full swing with thier exhibition season. After tonights win, defeating the Campbellton Tigers 8-7, that puts them at 2 wins, one loss. It's a good basic team. I'd like to see a better goaltender and a couple more big defencemen.

I did see my first one punch knockout. Tyler Veary went to take on one of the Tigers and got tagged with an unprotected straight out shot to the chin that put him out cold before he hit the ice. Lance Woodmen stepped up his game with a pair of goals and a pair of Beauty fights. I like Marlin Joseph as a tough little player, who will drop gloves when necessary, and those that don't know that he's a southpaw, look out.

Listening to Primetime

- I was not one of these people who thought that Canada did a horrible job at the Olympics. 12 medals for this country is good, espically for the Summer Olympics. I have no problem with the amount of money that we give Amatuer Athletes. If they want more, lets do something like having a "top-up" at some of the great corporate citizens, like if you go to Sobey's and the bill comes to 21.59, let's bump it up to 22.00 and give the overage to the athletes.

-I bought the Sons of Maxwell's new album "Sunday Morning". It's what you would expect from the boys, which is good but not great. It will get a spot in my stereo for a while.

-Who will get a contract first? Aliant or The NHL? Leave your thought on the tag board.

- The Halloween party is apparently in the planning stages. Now when it comes to the costume I will wear; I have no idea.

-I am just about a month away from Vacation...I go from October 2 to October 8 (Go shorty, It's my birthday) but with some creative scheduling, I don't have to go back untill the 12. I know that Dave is going to be in the province for some of that time, so I'm hoping to make it down to moncton to see him. Maybe go to F-city to hang around with the kid brother, we'll see.

-Speaking about F-city, it along with Saint John is going to get a visit from the boys of Great Big Sea. I'm a little disapointed that Northren New Brunswick is not getting a show, but that may be another reason to hold off and go down for the show.

-Speaking of GBS, Saw the new Video for "Shines Right Through Me", Who are the extra two guys and why is Sean Mccann wearing a cowboy hat? I know the drummer (Kris Macfarlane) was on tour with Crush, so have they added someone new or was it just a guy to fill in a spot in the video.

-I'm writing this post using Mozilla Spacephoenix, thanks to a plug-in in Firefox. The plug in renames the browser everytime that you open a new window. Totally useless, but fun. I don't think that I've done a full review of Firefox yet, and I won't tonight, but everyone should at least give it a try. IE does a good job with Service Pack 2, as I have not recieved a pop-up in the few times that I use IE since the install.

-Leo Laporte is back on the air on Tech TV Canada. It's a great show for the computer novices amongst us. Check your local listings on your digital provider. If you don't have digital television. the shownotes are available here

-As I was sitting here, CIBC called and wanted to know if I was happy with my service. I am, and the one on the line told me that I could pay less interest if I change cards. HBC rewards are not enough to make me want to pay 9% more interest.

-Then I am calling Bell to have the movie networks removed from my Bell Expressvu. Since I have had them, I haven't watched more then 3 whole shows, "What a girl Wants", "Chris Rock- Never Scared" and "Lewis Black- Black on Broadway". It's just not worth it.

-The NAW are back on the block this week with the first Saturday Night Rampage. CD is back in the main event, this time teaming back up with Gregory Maines to take on Damien and Theron in a Steel cage match. If any of the old gang from RAW or the ICWF come by here, drop me a line. We are looking for people to join up

What I go through Everyday

I think this is as close as I can get to explaining what goes on with me at work when talking to the public:

In the essence of "Who's on first?"

ABBOTT (behind the counter at: Super Duper computer store): Can I help you? COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den, and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.

ABBOTT: Your computer?

COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.

ABBOTT: What about Windows?

COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look in the windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

ABBOTT: Software for Windows?

COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What have you got?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

ABBOTT: I just did.

COSTELLO: You just did what?

ABBOTT: Recommend something.

COSTELLO: You recommended something?

ABBOTT: Yes.

COSTELLO: For my office?

ABBOTT: Yes.

COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!

ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.

COSTELLO: I already have an office and it has windows! OK, lets just say, I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?

ABBOTT: Word.

COSTELLO: What word?

ABBOTT: Word in Office.

COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?

ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W."

COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "W" if you don't start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?

ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.

COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need!

ABBOTT: Real One.

COSTELLO: If its a long movie I also want to see reel 2, 3 & 4. Can I watch them? ABBOTT: Of course.

COSTELLO: Great, with what?

ABBOTT: Real One. COSTELLO; OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do?

ABBOTT: You click the blue "1."

COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?

ABBOTT: The blue "1."

COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue "W"?

ABBOTT: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue "W" is Word.

COSTELLO: What word?

ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO: But there's three words in "office for windows!"

ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in the world.

COSTELLO: It is?

ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there.

COSTELLO: And that word is real one?

ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of Office. COSTELLO: Stop! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping, you have anything I can track my money with?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

COSTELLO: What's bundled to my computer?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.

COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

ABBOTT: One copy.

COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?? ABBOTT: Click on "START".........

Just a few things

-I like the new navbar at the top of the page. I've been checking out a few other blogs from the "Next Blog" window

-I talked to Jimmy Rankin at work yesterday. He was having problems with his e-mail. He sounds like he's a pretty good guy

-I don't know what it is but I have been getting the "611" calls at work more. People, is it that hard to dial 6 then 1 and then 1.

-Played poker saturday night...didn't win..at all

Vegas

One of the Boards I go to all the time is the Thread APA~. ONe of the guys just got back from Vegas. This is his story.

Just a couple of things

-Had a good time saturday night at Gully's, had to slow down just a touch near the end of the night; but a couple of Ben's Sliders (burgers) made everything better

-This is the the reason I can't wait for the next PS2 WWE game; RAW vs Smackdown!

-The NAW is taking a couple of weeks off. I thought I came out strong this past week at No Guts No Glory; but I guess just not strong enough. It will be interesting to see what will happen when the hiatis ends; as Gregory Maines has joined CD Lawrence as what seems to be the only Faces in the whole company.

The Mother of all Updates

-So I went to the poker tournament last week in Chatham head. I wasn't the first man out, so I consider it a win. Although I didn't win anything., it was an experience

-A couple of new links, including the link to Trillion and the site that I kill a lot of time with at work, Tech Comedy

-So I have to start paying my student loan, Not that big a deal, I knew this day is coming. They were supposed to take the money on the 1st. Tonight, the money is still sitting in the account. To top it off, I get a phone call from the national bank, wondering where my payment is. In my very sarcastic voice. "It's still in my bank account, waiting for you to take it".

-I think I am to the point of disliking stupid people. I'm beginning to use my LART ( (l)user attitude re-adjustment tool) even more often then usual. Actual call today (My part in red):

"Yeah I was supposed to call 611"
"OK, you called 611 and they tranfered you to me" (Stupid, but not out of the ordinary)
"No, I didn't know how to dial 611, so I called you. How do I dial 611?"
(My head meets the desk at a slowly increasing speed)"You dial 6-1 and then 1"
"Oh Ok thanks" (disconnects call)

One of my co workers says "I love it when you get sarcastic without getting sarcastic"

-I'm beginning to thinh the official language of my workplace is "answering questions correctly and honestly, but the answer having nothing to do with the question asked"

-Who will have a contract first, the NHL or Aliant?

-Looks like there is a spot opening on my Fav. radio station...Oh you thought I meant the Sludge? No, fool, The Fan 590 out of Toronto, as some major changes are coming down. it’s looking like Gord Stellick will move to the mornings to partner with Don Landry. Chuck Swirsky could be the afternoon replacement for Stellick. In the drive-home slot, 590 has finally canned Damien Cox. McCown will likely have rotating guest hosts instead of a regular partner.

-Looking forward to the parties at Carrie's on Saturday night, I might even have a beer or two :)

It's not really like this... Honest

There is an update coming..soon but before I do:
There's always this

Welcome to the Vengeance Scale

ESPN.com: Page 2 - Welcome to the Vengeance Scale

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is as close to perfection as you will read this day...ni, this week

Also, Due to a screwup on Rogers end, my dokdoyle address is down, so use the e-mail link if you need to get a hold of me or cdlawrence@NOSPAMgmail.com (Just remove the No Spam)

Launch

LAUNCH: Music on Yahoo!

Well, Rogers has "merged" with Yahoo, to provide e-mail, among other things. One of those other things is Launch, which allows you to have your own Radio station. Mine is Here
I'll also place a link on it in my links list. If you're looking for something to listen to, here you go.

Monday Meanderings

-I think that's how you spell it.

-I never want my schedule to end. This Sunday/Monday off is great, the only thing I miss is anything that is going on Friday night, and really how much is going on Friday night that can't happen on Saturday?

-Speaking of Saturday night, Jess was home and babysitting so went down to the house and played a couple games of trivia. Jess and I defeated the considerable talents of John K and Tara. I think we were graceful in victory.

-I very much dislike it when people erase phone numbers from the call display and not tell anyone that they did it.

-After a year, a rebirth has happened. CD Lawrence has come out of retirement. It seems that most of the old NWF crew has got together in New Age Wrestling. So after thinking about it for a bit and being asked by both Willie (well, he tried but sent it to the wrong address) and Blackwing; I'm back. My first match is this week in a five way dance for the Vacant Television Title. We'll see what goes on with that this week.

-I did something I said I'd never do today. I legally downloaded songs for Puretracks. A really good album from Melissa McClelland called Stranded in Suburbia and the new album from a long time fav Sarah Harmer. My only complaint with puretracks is the fact that I had to use Windows Media Player to burn the CD's, but other then that it seems to be ok. Not bad prices either, about $20 for 2 CD's. Downloads were quick too. I can see me using this for Canadian artists that are hard to find anywhere else
