Candido

-If 2 years ago, I had read on a message board that Chris Candido had passed away, it would have not been that much of a surprise. Candido had the reputation for being a major partyer on the wrestling screen, messing around with drugs and fast living that made other people in the dressing rooms of WWF, and ECW, where drug abuse was an everyday thing, cringe.

In the past two years however, Candido had cleaned himself. He looked great in the ring, winning himself a job with TNA with a great IMPACT match against AJ Styles. Both in the ring and as a manager for The Naturals, he looked like he was having fun.

Last Sunday, He suffer a broken leg and needed surgery to attach screws to his ankle during a throwaway cage match on the TNA LOCKDOWN pay-per-view. I watched that match last night. No official cause of death yet, although both a blood clot or a staph infection are both rumored causes.

He was a lot of fun to watch in the ring, and was a true Natural, and I think that's the best tribute I could give.


-I really haven't had much to say lately, I guess it's because nothing much has changed for me. I'm still working the same job, doing the same things. I'm having a lot of fun but nothing more then that. I haven't heard about the new Supervisor job yet, but should hear one way or another next week. My much maligned personal life may be looking up (More on that later) MAybe the times be a changing

Saturday Poker Night

-A saturday night down at the King's was a poker night. I won 2 out of the 4 games, putting me up $40 for the night. I just kept getting the pocket cards and hit a couple of straights when I needed them. in about 2 weeks, it's another night at the King's for a birthday celebration. I can't wait

Join FireFox...Be one of us :D

-There is 2.6 million people using Firefox now. No popup's and a bunch of plug in's. Tabbed browsing is great. Actually the story is that there were that many people viewing the firefox website...but they all downloaded..I'm sure :D

-One blog I always take a look at is Raging Red. She's always got something interesting to say.

-So I went to the poker tournament on sunday. I ended up in about the 52nd place or so. I had 4 10's on the third hand of the day that I didn't get anyone to bite on, and had a king high straight get beat by a full house, so just bad luck all the way around. Made most of my money back in side games, but it was for the experience, that's what I'm telling myself :D

-I also picked up a couple of Games for the PS2, the World Championship Poker the Link pretty much sums up my thoughts on it. I also picked up Pride, it's an older game that's missing a career mode, but is a great game none the less.

Poker Night

SO this is How my poker night went:


This is Willie, after a bad beat


This is Willie after a great Win


This is Willie, after beating both Tara and I on all in bets with a Flush


This is just here, because I want it to me, and Masters of the Universe Rocks

Why am I not in any of these pics...Because I didn't get the cards tonight

Update: I finally got the pics working, Thanks to Carrie and Photobucket

Day 10

-I got my Digital Camera today. nice little Canon a400 Powershot. Still learning how to use it, but expect some pics soon

-Thanks to Paco, found a neat little page called NewsGator. It uses RSS or XML feeds to bring all your websites together. It's cut down onthe sites I visit. If you read a lot of newssites or Blogs, it's worth checking out.

Friday

-It's April Fools day and I didn't prank anyone

-So I found out the the uncomfortable feeling I've had in my chest lately is a muscle spasm. I got to keep it stretched out. I took the day off, but I'll be working the weekend as a supervisor. Should be interesting.

-Next Sunday, I head to moncton for a poker tournament. Can't wait to get there

-I'm always saying that I wasnt to put more on my BLOG, then I go to wirte...and can't remember any of it

Ok, so i may be a day late and a $ short on this one, but I enjoy this rant on the demise of Tech TV...

Also, another reason to hate the channel, the Screensavers are no more, being replaced by a show called ATTACK OF THE SHOW.

BOO

I don't want to go to work tomorrow

-I really don't want my Vacation to end. I stopped in for a few minutes tonight and just got an overwhelming sense of Dread. Usually after being off this long, I'm ready for a return. Not this time.

-Spent some time playing cards at the Kenny's last night. I won one hand, the one we played for fun. The ones we played for $5, first one out, first time and 3rd second time. I've decided to enter a tournament in April in Moncton. It should be interesting.

-For the few wrestling fans that still come around here, I saw the most interesting interview today. It is Jim Cornette and Bobby Heenen, sitting around and telling stories in a Ring of Honor Straight Shooting tape. There is nobody like Bobby Heenen, and Cornette ain't that far behind. It's available at your favorite Wrestling Torrent site :D

It's a cooler Google with the OSX "Dock" effect to choose which search you want.

Google pulled it down after a day after Apple pressured them (check that out here but I like it. Hope it comes back

WRONG!!!

This is so very Wrong

Walmart Findings

So I went to walmart to pick up a few Groceries and got some great deals:

• A 500 Chip Bicycle Poker set, with 2 decks of cards. The chips are not the best quality..but it's a decent little set for $25
• 12 355ml Bottles of Pepsi for like $5
• Welcome to Death Row A documentary look in to Death Row records from the people who were there. I've seen this on Much a few times and it was very interesting.

I've also picked up a couple of things on e-bay, WWF InVasion and Beyond the Mat Barry Blaustein's movie that opens your eyes about the things that really go on with the Wrestlers behind the scenes. Between that and the Timberwolves tickets I got today, I spent a Shite load of cash on my first day on Vacation :D

Vacation Afternoon

-It was bound to happen. The Telegraph Journal has a front page story about the "fad" of Texas Hold Em, basically outing bars in the Saint John area that have been running poker tournaments. The Atlantic Lottery Commission is threatening to pull VLT's out of any bar that lets people play. That will last right up until they can figure out a way to get a cut. I'm not usually one for Goverment regulation, but they should allow the bars to run games, for smaller prizes, to make up for some of the money lost to the smoking ban

-Speaking of Poker, played a couple of games last night at Carrie's. The first game didn't last long, as John played power poker with decent hands, leaving me with second place. The second one lasted longer, with me getting knocked out first to Tara's miracle queen on the River...I was the dealer for a while, then decided to buy back in for 5 bucks and ended up taking second place again, ending up $5 bucks down for the night.

-Oh, yeah I'm on vacation.

-The Times and Transcript's Sleuth is reporting that the next big concert for the moncton Coliseum may be Pearl Jam...just a second, I think I just heard willie fall to the floor

Saturday Morning Cartoon Blogging

-I was planning on sleeping in this morning, however I was woken up by work calling....It my day off..leave me alone

-I've downloaded both 50Cent's album "The Masscure" and The Game's "The Documentry". While I enjoyed 50's; I really think that the Game is the best Hip hop album I've heard since Dr. Dre's "2001". When it comes to the beef now between 50 and his former Protege It is a bit disrespectful for Game to take the side of others against his Clique. He had to know what was going to happen after that. I guess the question is if he thinks he is big enough to go out alone. This will hurt "The Documentry" as he mentions G-unit in most of the songs and 50 is all over the album, so I can't see many more singles or videos coming from it.

-The Timberwolves have their last home game tonight and it is a must win against Campbellton. The Wolves are 1 point down and tonight is the Tigers last game. Here's how it breaks down:

a win= Timberwolves Championship
a Loss= tigers Championship
a Timberwolves win in OT=a tie=A timberwolves championship (Tiebreaker is more wins)
A tie=Tigers Championship

Should be an interesting night in the Civic Center

-After the Game, I'll be trying to get back me rightful place as Trivia Champion. Watch out..it's coming :D

The Streak is Over

Last night, for the first time in a very long time; I lost a game of Trivial Purcuit. Carrie did mount a comeback to take the win. It is something for which I don't know of my psyche will ever recover.

She also beat me in a game of Texas Hold Em. No money exchanged hands, but after knocking Willie and Tara out, I was defeated with an Ace on the river.

I did make a comeback beating willie in a second game so the night was not a total blowout. Now, If I can just get them to play for 10 bucks :D
