Howdy all, just got done with working 8 consecutive days of 11-12 hour shifts. Ya, it was a pain all right, but now I got four days off and am in the midst of getting drunk off my ass. The 49ers lost again, no surprise there, as did my fantasy football team, again no surprise there. One more game left of the season, can't believe I'm doing so crummy in it. No in-depth stat report this week for it, probably will do one for the last week.
-I finished Scott Keith's latest book, "Wrestling's One-Ring Circus: The Death of the WWF" It flowed almost exactly the same as his previous "Tonight....in this very Ring" book. Unfortunately, it seemed a little bit short as I breezed through it in no time. It covers from the Invasion until Wrestlemania 19. I enjoy his commentary on his many gripes with Triple H, among other things. While I may not particularly agree with his every opinion on each subject matter, he does a damn good job backing himself up and making his facts stand out. Overall, this seems like a better supplement to "Tonight.....in this very Ring" than a whole book on its own. I still highly recommend it to any serious wrestling marks like myself.
By finishing up Keith's latest book, I bought a couple new ones. I'm now starting to read Terell Owens' autobiography "Catch This." Only a few chapters in so far, where he's talking about growing up and his childhood. The ghostwriter is definitly making himself apparent, as their is none of the cockiness apparent in this book as there is in TO's interviews. He's talking about himself like he's a patron saint like Jerry Rice far. Those are my initial impressions, more thoughts later when I'm done with it. I also got Stone Cold's WWE biography. First WWE one I got on paperback, as B. Daulton doesn't have it on hard cover anymore. Yeah, I found out that B. Daulton and Barnes & Noble are associated with Gamestop/Software Etc so I get 25% off there, but they're running employee appreciation there for another couple weeks so until then I get 45% off, so huzzah for me. I also finally bought GTA San Andreas. I was originally awaiting the eventual Xbox release, but Rockstar hasn't made any announcement of it that I know of, so I guess the PS2 version will have to suffice.
-I'm actually getting a couple hours in at Software Etc. now, huzzah. Things are going all right over there, they had a big get together with the rest of the staff there I attended at Buffalo Wild Wings. I tried to get to know everyone as best I can. They all seem like a fun bunch, and this probably is my first job where it seems where I don't have to worry about politics and whatnot. I worked another short shift there today. Afterwards went shoppin around with dad looking for some X-Mas gifts for him. Then he treated me to a killer steak dinner at Speedway. After that I headed to get some groceries to last me a while
...hmm thats about all I have for now.....I really havent been doin too much except working like a madman until now. Just feels good to have some time off....peace
