This blog will have its ups and downs. Some things I really enjoyed but boy, some things really turned me off.
I’ll be a little different and not start this off chronologically; instead I’ll mention Wednesday the 9th. Oh what a day. In national news, there’s the stuff with Penn State University… recently I’ve said more than once that college football has had a HORRIBLE 2011, what with all the scandals going on and schools pissing on tradition just for the almighty dollar, and it’s most people treating college football *way* too seriously which is part of the problem. I said that before I even knew of the drama at Penn State, where a football personality was pretty much allowed to do his thing and sexually abuse boys as the people in charge it was more important to protect their program’s reputation than stop a horrible monster. A popular grandfatherly old coach who had been there forever was fired that night for not doing enough (which I say was the right call… him getting fired, I mean) and the students at that college act like Troglodytes so they form a mob and yell in protest. It being a large mob, there tends to be some rabble-rousers who use the situation to start a lot of trouble, and when emotions run high… a riot happens! Pretty embarrassing to riot over such a thing.
Then, while I’m trying to follow that, through a tweet I look online and see that there’s a LOT of drama revolving around my pal Jared David St. Laurent. He’s been bored as of late so to entertain himself he’s been trolling various people in this state’s wrestling scene, and it’s worked. Note that this has been done on a local wrestling messageboard. So, some people got real mad and now there are “legit” fights being threatened; whether or not all of this is true or at least some of it is being staged for a “shoot” fight at a later show or whatever nonsense (which won’t really draw many if any extra people to the actual show) it’s a major turn-off for me. Unfortunately, I know that some of it IS for sure true and that is as much attention as I’ll devote to that garbage on here. It’s the sort of thing that makes me not want to go to any local shows anytime soon. It’s high school drama and I am happy I haven’t even read most of it. What I have read… the Toadies are and have almost always been brutally unfunny people.
On a happier note… my Tuesday through Friday afternoon wasn’t too exciting. I was on the down-low. Things really picked up starting Friday night; that’s because I returned to… MAKO’S! It’s been far too long since I’ve enjoyed that wonderful “party bar”, a few months as a matter of fact. Things started off slow when I got there, but by the end… I saw some great sights.
It was the usual there. You know, scantily-clad ladies (both in attendance and working there), wacky games being played, a blaring soundtrack with booty-shaking songs, the whole works. One new feature was a beer bong with multiple hoses, which they referred to as “Bongzilla”.
I ended up seeing someone there who I hadn’t seen there in awhile as she doesn’t work there any longer. No, not a particular person I’ve referenced before, but another nice young lady who I always chatted with briefly when she worked there. This time she was there as a customer. She was with her pals so I again only got to briefly chat with her, but that was good enough for me.
There were some vertically-challenged people there. No, not Josh Rich and Yapo! I mean, neither of the guys was fat… anyway, one of them was rather nerdy-looking. I know, me saying that, but for reasons I didn’t see, he was invited to stand on one of the bars. He took his shirt off and he was compared to Steve Carell, which I supposed is far, if Steve wore glasses. Then again, one time when I was there I was spotlighted and told that I was Stu from The Hangover! Gee, thanx. No, I do not fall in love with hookers…
Oh, and I got a bodyshot from a comely young lass who works there (she shook her body and then I took a shot from her ta-das, to borrow a phrase I heard recently). That was worth the price.
Otherwise there isn’t too much to say aside from the fact that it was the usual good time… that was until I was about to leave. I was by the front door when I suddenly saw some guys yelling at each other, then the shoving started. Security was quick to literally throw them out of the building. The arguing continued but said security and some cops passing by helped quell that situation. Once I did leave, I was walking back to my car and I saw some drunk oafs arguing with a bunch of cops. I stopped and stood by some random people eating some burgers and fries as the expected happened and those drunks got arrested. Sad to say I didn’t get a COPS moment and the arrests were without a struggle (I was hoping for the guys getting thrown down, but alas…); it was still a great sight to see. The next time I’ll return to downtown Orlando, I don’t know but hopefully it won’t be as long of a break from that magical place.
Saturday, I stayed at home and I ended up watching a good amount of the UFC card on Facebook, where you had to go to watch everything but the main event (unless you watched the last few prelim fights on Fox Deportes) which was on Fox. The undercard was fine but the bout between Ben Henderson and Clay Guida was even better than it looked on paper. Imagine if the Fox show would have been 90 minutes (as I understand they will be from now on) and the fight would have opened the program. Those guys would have been big stars, but as they weren’t on Fox or pay per view… but that’s the type of garbage I expect from Fox. I won’t go on a long angry rant about that network; I’ve just known for years they’ve been the dirt-worst in everything and they proved it on this night with their overall presentation. The way the big main event turned out made me happy as it made Fox look really stupid and I actually am for them looking stupid rather than UFC being harmed by how things turned out. It was ironic I talked about Fox as the night before while driving home I actually came across a fox, which I almost hit but I was able to avoid. It was literally a fox on the run, to bring up a song lyric.
Sunday, I went to Friendly Confines to watch the Chicago Bears play against the Detroit Lions. Everyone-me included-was shocked that the Bears ended up destroying the Lions, who looked downright terrible. Their QB apparently hurt his hand in the last game, and that’s the only reason I have for him playing so poorly. The game was a pleasant time, needless to say. Also nice was a lack of meatheads around; not having to listen to goofs bellow about their team on a constant basis for 3 hours plus… that is always a good thing.
I’ll be back a week from today. I know I’ll be doing a few fun things which will provide fodder to write about. Hopefully there won't be as much drama and angry things that sour my mood.
