So the holiday season is upon us. I have started my holiday shopping, and I am kinda torn on a few issues. Everyone who knows me, knows that I am the pinnacle of bright, happy, sunshiney, feel-good, bringing-shame-to-jolly-old-st-nick-himself holiday cheer, but I’m also an unemployed bum. The unemployment isn’t that big a deal, but it…

no practice today. But I did have practice on Tuesday. Mostly free wrestling, but I did have shiimaxion teach me the Shiima reversal that I had been coveting for so long. Also have been working on my own personal weird reversals. Most recently I am trying to turn a headlock into a firemen’s carry. I…

you go on a talk show to talk to a psychic and you bring video footage you took of a ghost who haunts a tree at the place you work and the psychic tells you they don’t see a ghost, and its just the wind. A psychic doesn’t believe in your ghost. A TALK SHOW…

(though I don’t know if anyone cares) Made new banners for the top of the site, very similar to the others… but now they change ever 30 to 60 seconds. Anyway, just pointing it out in case anyone actually cares.

been meaning to post about this since last Thursday, but keep getting sidetracked. Figure I might as well get it down if only in brief right now, so I have a record. Worked on taking suplexes. This went rather well, for the most part. Need to work on feet placement when I land so that…

So yes, I am blissfully unemployed again… you know it just feels right… Should it bother me that I am becoming comfortable with the being a bum prospect? Am I beginning to channel jameel or max1975 or something? No matter, worries are for another time. Today I shall relax and revel in my new found…

We’re sorry, but Mav’s regularly scheduled total emotional and nervous breakdowns cannot be brought to you today because he is cowering in the fetal position in the corner of the room. We apologize. Please come back tomorrow, and perhaps he will have gained enough composure that he will again be ready to be subjected to…

on the arrest of Michael Jackson
by mav • • 13 Comments
So they have issued a warrant for the arrest of Michael Jackson on allegations of child molestation. Last time this happened (10 years ago), he settled the case financially with the family and charges were never pressed. That’s always left me kind of questioning as to how valid the charges were. No one knows how…

WTF? when did that happen?
by mav • • 24 Comments
so when did it become so cool to be a soccer mom that people started putting logos on their cars? I’ve noticed several vehicles, mostly, but not all, SUVs, with giant vinyl soccer ball stickers on the backs or sides. They’re everywhere lately. Didn’t the term used to be derogatory? I mean, it wasn’t like…
