I know, what a title this week. But I'll explain the first two things later. I swear that Steele Johnson is not a porno name. The last part, I figured I should do something Michael Jackson related as believe it or not he passed away three years ago today.
This past Monday was dull for me so let me skip ahead to the next day. I had free time so in the late afternoon I went to the Florida Mall area. First I stopped at a nearby MovieStop; it was one I hadn't been to before so I was eager to check out what they had. I ended up getting some DVD's so I was happy. After that I went to the mall and it was nothing out of the ordinary there, except that I had cheese curds from A&W and would you believe I had never had cheese curds before in my life? True story. They weren't half-bad. While I was eating that they showed something on the TV's in the food court I could have done without. You probably have seen in various food courts the Akoo network, where they show various music vidoes. Well, while I was there they had a special hour devoted to Justin Bieber, as I understood he had an album coming out that day. Not too surprisingly I saw various girls who looked to be around 13 or 14 happily watching that programming.
After that I left; on the way back home I stopped at a Planet Smoothie as I had heard they had some limited edition lemonade flavors so I needed to try one. It turns out, it's good shit!
Wednesday was dull so let me skip ahead to Thursday. I went on the mission for looking for some Aussie-style licorice. No, Aussie-style is not a euphemism for anything dirty. Don't ask me how it differs from regular licorice but the green apple variety is pretty darn fantastic. I went to the local Dollar Tree to look for it but they had no green apple so I got the regular strawberry flavor. Before I stopped there I went to another dollar store in the area to look around. I got minor items from both. Good Lord did I run into people I would not call shining and stellar members of our society. One store I heard a crying kid and I thought it was a toddler but it turns out the girl was like 10 years old; she was just acting like a toddler. Otherwise it was rather trashy people; not that I should have been surprised there would be that crowd at such a store.
Friday was boring so I'll just mention now that the past week had some rain... until the weekend. It was rainy on Saturday but thankfully it stopped so I was able to go out and about in the evening. Sunday was when all hell broke loose. I know that other areas of Central Florida got it much worse than what I go so I won't complain; still, it rained just about all day and at times it was quite windy... yeah, not good times and I was glad I was able to stay in all day.
As for Saturday, I decided to spice things up so I went to... Mako's! Before then, though, I went somewhere else then made it to downtown Orlando. I decided to go to Universal CityWalk first. I hadn't been there on a Friday or Saturday night in ages. I walked around for a bit, had a snack... and oh yeah, had a big alcoholic beverage too. What I had featured orange juice, Sprite, and I had my virgin experience with whipped cream vodka. I approve of it. While I was there, an area was set up for people to dance and they had a dance-off; it featured such old school songs as the Cha-Cha Slide, the Electric Slide, and the Macarena; I have no idea why I remembered most of the dance, though. Oh yeah, and while I was there I ended up running into a local pro wrestler and his girlfriend. I briefly chatted with them and it was a pleasant surprise.
After that I left and I drove to Mako's and the main thing I'll remember about the night... LMFAO. That act performed at the nearby Amway Center and after the concert various people decided to head on over to the club before going home. I've said this before but I have no problem with the band. Their songs are catchy and make me laugh so that is enough for me. Their fans, though... to my non-surprise, many of them come off as douchebags! They dress in garish ways and just act goofy at best. At least I was able to laugh at their costumes.
* But the best was seeing a guy who looked like Russell Brand and also was an LMFAO fan; what a combination. He acted rather crazy the entire time I saw him there. He was jumping around and just being the fool.
* A girlfight almost happened right in front of me. I don't know how it started but a guy had to restrain his lady from going after another one and at least attempting to beat some ass. I still got bumped into and almost spilled my beer.
* Other than that not too much to say about the night. I had the usual great time there enjoying the various activities, drunken debauchery, and what have you... such as watching girls shake their T&A on the stage; as I've said before, they're doing it for attention so why not give them attention?
I don't know when I'll be back except that it'll be once in July, if not more.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot... while I was eating dinner on Saturday the TV was on and it was the trials to qualify to compete for the Olympics in diving. One of the competitors was named STEELE JOHNSON and I laughed uproariously. There goes my porno name! I suppose that PETER DRAGON is still available. A long time ago I happened to be looking at results for small-time wrestling shows and a wrestler in the Northwest used that name. I thought about it for a few seconds then I got it and I knew I would never forget it.
Like I said, Sunday was a wash but in the evening I did watch a teen movie from the late 90's that I surprisingly had never seen before, given that I WAS a teen in the late 90's. I only saw some of those flicks back in the day. Even then I was different from other people in my age group. As it recently was added to Netflix Instant I checked out She's All That. Yeah, it's a goofy and silly movie (as everyone has said before, LOL to the idea that Rachael Leigh Cook was unappeaing just because she was geeky and anti-social; she was still pretty hot) but it's still charming and wow what a blast from the pas it was. I mean, the cast of famous faces, the lingo, the music, the way it was shot, it brought me back to the late 90's. What a trip.
I'll be back a week from today. I really don't have much planned on the agenda, especially considering that damned Tropical Storm Debby, which caused all the shitty weather yesterday, has changed direction a few times and as of now is going to pass over the northern part of the state. Thus, more crappy weather for the week, probably. Yay!

Tales of Sex Robots & Loving The One You're With
Unfortunately this is going to be a rather short blog, as this past week was rather boring for me. The next blog I'll do will be quite a bit more interesting, I promise.
Here's what I've done since Monday. As usual for me Monday through Thursday were not really all that exciting. Tuesday night I went to Downtown Disney where I saw the movie Prometheus (unlike a lot of people, I wasn't wowed by the teaser trailers so thus I wasn't really excited for it, despite loving Alien and Aliens) and despite not having high expectations I still was disappointed by it. It certainly looked rather pretty and it sounded great, and they at least tried to present some big ideas, especially for a summer movie released by a big studio. But the script was rather terrible, giving the movie many plotholes and characters would act one way in a scene and in the very next one they'd do a 180 and act completely differently. Sigh... at least there's the fact that one character gets a totally random bootycall and despite this being set in the late 21st century, STEPHEN STILLS gets referenced. Yes. I couldn't believe it. His most famous song is awesome and all, but that was something else which came completely out of nowhere. I guess by that time the works of Crosby, Stills, & Nash (and sometimes Young) are held in the highest regard...
Wednesday was dull so let me skip ahead to Thursday, where I watched something hilarious in the evening; it was on the Discovery Fit & Health channel and it was a program called SEX ROBOT, about robot fetishism. It was as creepy and odd as you'd expect. I was SO not surprised when they interviewed the first guy they showed. OF COURSE he was a pro wrestling fan. How did I know this? Why, he had several pro wrestling replica belts hanging in his room! Throughout all the wrestling shows I've attended, in general all the guys who brought replica belts to shows and had them on their shoulder as if they were a wrestler... they just looked incredibly creepy and I presumed they were creepy in general. I wouldn't be surprised if those people in general had bizarre fetishes such as getting aroused by robots.
Friday, I went with someone to the hip and happening restaurant known as... Chili's! I know, a dull choice but I knew there were items that my partner enjoyed and I hadn't been there in awhile and it was close by, so why not go there? I had the boneless buffalo wings and they seemed even spicier than usual. Nothing to note there, as it was the usual Chili's experience.
Saturday, I went out and about, but it wasn't too exciting. I went out to the Sand Lake Road area. I stopped at the Barnes & Noble they had there for a few minutes, then I went on to Pinkberry where I had their new seasonal flavor, strawberry. Yep, it was quite good. Then, I went on to Target as I had to pick up some items for someone I know and I was happy to do it... even after I spent more time there than I expected as it was real busy. Of course, many people waited until the night before to purchase Father's Day cards.
Sunday was dull... hey, I told you this was a boring blog. To end things on a somewhat exciting note, I realized that there were some details of the Miami trip that I forgot to include in the previous blog.
While I was at Miami Beach on Saturday I returned to the marvelous Shake Shack. If there was one in Orlando I'd go there all the time and I'd probably weigh like 30 pounds more than I do now. I had their great cheeseburger and I had their key lime pie shake, which was as majestic as it sounds.
The night before I was driving back to the hotel from the UFC show, so it was after 11 PM. I saw some dumbass driving around without his headlights on! Of course I honked at him but it did no good. I'd complain that it was a South Florida thing but I've seen it happen around Central Florida a shocking amount of times. I don't want to rip and make fun of Floridians all the time... but I have no choice but to do so when I see idiocy like that happen right in front of me.
Finally, at the ballgame for like 2 or 3 innings there was a toddler-aged boy wandering around. Despite what it may sound like I am not ALWAYS annoyed by little kids. In fact, that kid was fine... and wore a shirt with a dinosaur that said SNUGGLESAURUS on it. That was tremendous.
Like I said, I promise the next blog I do will be more action-packed than this one.

Blair's Wild South Florida Dubstep Weekend
No, I didn't go down there to listen to dubstep music. I made the trip to watch my first-ever live UFC show and to watch a regular season baseball game at the great Marlins Ballpark. However, I heard dubstep there and while passing by the Hot Topic in the Aventura Mall late Saturday morning. I guess the style is rather hip in that part of Florida, which is no surprise to me given that dance music is pretty “over” around Miami.
This will mainly be about my time down in South Florida, as otherwise I was rather boring. There really isn't anything to say about Monday through Thursday, besides the fact that it was pretty rainy. One day I got rained on quite a bit as I was leaving the local Publix, where I went to get a sandwich. Really, that was the highlight for that period of time. I really was that damn boring.
So, let me skip ahead to Friday. I left in the morning and drove down to Ft. Lauderdale and the hotel, an Extended Stay America. The first part was fine but the last part it was pouring rain. You can just imagine how bad traffic got, given that it was South Florida and the sky water was added. I'll just mention this now: as always, the traffic in South Florida was rather wretched. There's a lot of horn honking, it was crowded, and man were there some maniacs on the road, flying by you going WAY too fast.
I checked in and I did not have too much time to spend there as I needed to go to the BankAtlantic Center in nearby Sunrise to watch the UFC show. The tickets weren't cheap but given that they have 10 to 12 fights per show I guess the prices aren't that bad. The event lasted for almost SIX hours. It would have been nice if they had working Wi-Fi there, but I was never able to get it to work. Figures. I don't know what it is about Wi-Fi and South Florida, but it's usually a disaster. At the baseball game I went to on Saturday night it only worked occasionally. Thankfully I had zero trouble with it at the hotel.
It was an FX show so in this case there were two fights on Facebook, six on FuelTV, and the final four on FX. I've definitely heard mixed reviews for the event but I say those Negative Nancy's are smoking some crack, as I thought all the fights were at least fine. All the talk about those early fights being terrible... that's poppycock. There was one fight in the undercard that featured a major beating. Then, three of the four fights in the main card ended in very memorable fashion, and the actual main event was a three round battle that was quite fun to watch. It was a rematch of a great bout that happened in March and it ended up being a draw. The second battle was more real good than great but still it was sweet.
The card wasn't star-studded by any means but it's still disappointing there were less than 7,000 people there. And I wish the crowd there wouldn't have been lame-ass idiots who were way too quick to boo. And I wish that the state commission wouldn't have required them to use local judges and referees as at times they were rather inept. None of the fights really got ruined, so that was good. Given that the UFC had not been in the state since '09 and with how things turned out it may be until at least '15, if not longer. All that said, I still had a real good time there and I am glad I finally was able to see an event live.
Saturday morning, I checked out and I ended up going to the Aventura Mall and this time I was able to spend more time there. I walked around and I did purchase an item, which was a snazzy shirt from American Eagle for real cheap. I also had some gelato while I was there, and that was great. Oh, and the place is so nice they have some great vehicles on display, like an Audi R8 and a Fisker Karma, an electric/gas car (like the Volt, except it's over 100,000 bucks) which looks fantastic but I know is unfortunately highly unreliable. I then went to South Beach; I just drove around to see what was new; turns out, not much is new, but I did car-watch. I saw a Bentley, two Rolls-Royces, an Audi R8, and... FOUR Ferrari's. It must be nice to own one...
After that I killed some time before going to Marlins Park to watch the Miami Marlins play against the Tampa Bay Rays. One of those things was going to Key Biscayne; I hadn't been there before and I happened to be in the area. I wish that I could have visited one of the parks in the area but all of them appeared to require you paying cash to go in them; no thank you. Still, I drove around for a bit and it's a scenic island, at least.
Then, I made it to Marlins Park. I parked my car in the backyard of a Cuban family in Little Havana, where the stadium is located at. It turns out, a lot of families do that for cheap and not that far away from the stadium, which is a very nice thing to do. This time I sat up in the upper deck and as I've said before I am perfectly content sitting up there at baseball stadiums at least, as it gives you a nice view of the entire field. Thankfully, I sat by some pretty decent people so I had no problems being around dumbass loudmouthed idiots.
As for the game, it was a bad day for the Marlins. It was veteran pitcher Carlos Zambrano (a real hothead who used to play for the Cubs; he can be wildly inconsistent) against 22 year old Matt Moore for the Rays who because of his age is inconsistent too. This time, Zambrano had such a bad game it was like he was still with Chicago and the final score ended up being 13-4. Much to my surprise there were many Rays fans besides me in attendance. The crowd wasn't as large as usual, but then again there were many sports events going on that night, from the boxing fight (do I even need to say anything about that one?) to the big horse race, to what could have been the final game in the NHL finals... and oh yeah, the winner goes to the finals NBA game played only 3 miles away involving the Miami Heat. Unfortunately, the Heat won that game and are now in the finals.
The only interesting thing to note about my time there is that they had an EPIC FAIL involving their big videoboard. It went black and it took them nearly 40 minutes to get it to work. I never heard of anything like that happening before... especially at a joint that just opened up 3 months ago. The next afternoon, I heard that the landline phone between the team dugout and the bullpen was inoperative. Embarrassing. I was amazing that everything went right after the game when they opened up the roof and they had a fireworks display.
Sunday, the one highlight was in the evening, when there was hellacious weather. I mean, a severe thunderstorm, and winds so bad that it entirely uprooted a big tree in a neighbor's yard. There was no problem where I lived, thankfully... besides the power going out for over an hour.
Next week, there's zero on the agenda. Still, I'm hoping for a halfway interesting blog.

Stories of Sky Water, Celebrity Tweeting, & The Upcoming Zombie Apocalypse
Yes, I figured I should comment on all the strange stories that have taken place as oflate, many of them happening-of course-in Florida. I say that strange stories happen all the time and this string happens to be noticed because the main thing was a guy high off of a dangerous drug acting like a zombie. Trust me, a lot of strange things happen in Florida almost constantly that can only happen in Florida and no other place besides The Sunshine State.
Here's what I've done since Monday. Memorial Day was a quiet affair so let me skip ahead to Tuesday. I had free time so I went to the giant arcade known as DisneyQuest. It was rainy out so what I say about Florida drivers and there being any sort of moisture on the road... it's always true and it was proven again on this day. Someone I know personally said on Facebook on this day the same thing I say about those drivers, and she remarked that Florida people seem to be terrified of “the sky water that is coming down.” Yep, I'm going to steal “sky water”! Anyhow, I did get rained on while walking around there but it's OK. DisneyQuest was entertaining and they had some new pinball tables. Yep, they still make them, believe it or not. The two were of Avatar and Transformers. Both were fun. And I was able to make it there and back with no problems with the sky water.
Wednesday was pretty boring... except for the evening. Monday night while using Netflix Instant (hey, I was able to sign up for a free month; I've seen some films on there and I'll likely pay for at least a month so I can watch some more flicks in June; you can read what I thought of those films at my movie review blog at) I decided to look up some Rachael Leigh Cook films, as for a long time I thought she was rather attractive but I could only go by what I've heard about her being a good actress as I had never actually watched any of her movies. Not even She's All That.
I decided to rectify that and they only had a few movies to choose from (surprising given that she mainly has done low-budget independent films and Netflix is the home for that) and I picked out the most interesting-sounding one, Scorched. It has other familiar faces, like Alicia Silverstone, Woody Harrelson, that curly-haired guy from Road Trip, and even John Cleese. It's a quirky comedy about three people doing three separate bank heists, but it's entertaining. As she's on Twitter-and usually pretty funny on there-I mentioned to her that I finally saw one of her movies. On this night she responded and thanked me for watching it. I decided to respond and mentioned which film it was. She replied back and seemed glad it wasn't one of the poor movies she has done, like that badly-reviewed Get Carter remake she did with Sly Stallone or that film she did with Jessica Simpson, of all people. I don't constantly harrass celebrities on Twitter for a response or a retweet; in fact I rarely try to say anything to them at all. I also don't try to constantly badger the people who run a big wrestling company based in Orlando looking for a tryout with them, but sad to say some local wrestlers around here do just that... anyhow, I was flattered Ms. Cook responded to me. Then again she seems like someone who is always willing to reply to people who say things to her on Twitter, so that is nice of her.
Wednesday was boring so let me skip ahead to Thursday, where in the evening I went to Cold Stone Creamery. I know, the last time I went there I got real mad because they now have a yogurt bar there which is a stupid idea that's just them trying to follow a trend that may be dying out already; it was a clusterfrick in there and it's still the case. But, it was less crowded there so that was good. What was not good was that there was a mom, dad, and two kids there and the two kids were MAJOR brats, crying and whining and hitting each other and I was happy to see them leave. Soon after that a father and young son came in and right away that kid was loudly crying and he actually wanted to leave the place; what a stupid kid! The dad picked him up and carried him out and thank goodness for that. I had the orange dreamsicle and that was as delicious as you'd imagine.
Friday I stayed in except for going out to Best Buy, where I looked around and picked up a random Blu-Ray disc. Saturday I totally stayed in so let me move along to Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. I made a rare trip to the east side of Orlando to visit some places. The main ones are the MovieStop at Waterford Lakes and the other one is at the nearby Cheeburger Cheeburger. I did get some discs at the MovieStop and I had the almost always of a burger and fries at the restaurant and I also had a delicious shake. However, the drive there and back I had to deal with the usual yahoos & stupid-ass idiots on the highway, and it didn't change when I was in those two places. There was no shortage of loathsome obnoxious people and I got pretty tired of them. I especially did not want to have to listen to one waiter at the restaurant talk to his girlfriend, who was there drinking a shake. Half the time they did not even hear each other and it was not that loud in there. They were just that damn stupid and I constantly heard, “Huh? Huh? What?”, and that is yet something else which enrages me. Then, the inane babbling I heard between those two... I did not like either person, to be perfectly honest. At least the food was good...
I'll post my next blog a week from today. I do not have anything planned yet; however, I may end up doing something very exciting during the weekend and it'll make for a very good blog. If not... I'll still try and have a halfway decent blog where I'll do a few interesting things.
Here's what I've done since Monday. Memorial Day was a quiet affair so let me skip ahead to Tuesday. I had free time so I went to the giant arcade known as DisneyQuest. It was rainy out so what I say about Florida drivers and there being any sort of moisture on the road... it's always true and it was proven again on this day. Someone I know personally said on Facebook on this day the same thing I say about those drivers, and she remarked that Florida people seem to be terrified of “the sky water that is coming down.” Yep, I'm going to steal “sky water”! Anyhow, I did get rained on while walking around there but it's OK. DisneyQuest was entertaining and they had some new pinball tables. Yep, they still make them, believe it or not. The two were of Avatar and Transformers. Both were fun. And I was able to make it there and back with no problems with the sky water.
Wednesday was pretty boring... except for the evening. Monday night while using Netflix Instant (hey, I was able to sign up for a free month; I've seen some films on there and I'll likely pay for at least a month so I can watch some more flicks in June; you can read what I thought of those films at my movie review blog at) I decided to look up some Rachael Leigh Cook films, as for a long time I thought she was rather attractive but I could only go by what I've heard about her being a good actress as I had never actually watched any of her movies. Not even She's All That.
I decided to rectify that and they only had a few movies to choose from (surprising given that she mainly has done low-budget independent films and Netflix is the home for that) and I picked out the most interesting-sounding one, Scorched. It has other familiar faces, like Alicia Silverstone, Woody Harrelson, that curly-haired guy from Road Trip, and even John Cleese. It's a quirky comedy about three people doing three separate bank heists, but it's entertaining. As she's on Twitter-and usually pretty funny on there-I mentioned to her that I finally saw one of her movies. On this night she responded and thanked me for watching it. I decided to respond and mentioned which film it was. She replied back and seemed glad it wasn't one of the poor movies she has done, like that badly-reviewed Get Carter remake she did with Sly Stallone or that film she did with Jessica Simpson, of all people. I don't constantly harrass celebrities on Twitter for a response or a retweet; in fact I rarely try to say anything to them at all. I also don't try to constantly badger the people who run a big wrestling company based in Orlando looking for a tryout with them, but sad to say some local wrestlers around here do just that... anyhow, I was flattered Ms. Cook responded to me. Then again she seems like someone who is always willing to reply to people who say things to her on Twitter, so that is nice of her.
Wednesday was boring so let me skip ahead to Thursday, where in the evening I went to Cold Stone Creamery. I know, the last time I went there I got real mad because they now have a yogurt bar there which is a stupid idea that's just them trying to follow a trend that may be dying out already; it was a clusterfrick in there and it's still the case. But, it was less crowded there so that was good. What was not good was that there was a mom, dad, and two kids there and the two kids were MAJOR brats, crying and whining and hitting each other and I was happy to see them leave. Soon after that a father and young son came in and right away that kid was loudly crying and he actually wanted to leave the place; what a stupid kid! The dad picked him up and carried him out and thank goodness for that. I had the orange dreamsicle and that was as delicious as you'd imagine.
Friday I stayed in except for going out to Best Buy, where I looked around and picked up a random Blu-Ray disc. Saturday I totally stayed in so let me move along to Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. I made a rare trip to the east side of Orlando to visit some places. The main ones are the MovieStop at Waterford Lakes and the other one is at the nearby Cheeburger Cheeburger. I did get some discs at the MovieStop and I had the almost always of a burger and fries at the restaurant and I also had a delicious shake.
