My Thoughts on TNA Impact for Aug 6 2009

I used screen captures for this post

I guess I have to love iTunes Canada again. They had the show available this morning.


Eric Young looked yummy. (hey I like bald men so ssshh) Then his little speech about doing whatever it takes.... there is going to be a swerve right? He had a match against Daniels. With two members of World Elite in the ring with him. And Daniels brought out the MMG.... Young won with the piledriver. (is it just me or does Daniels always look like a disapproving babysitter?)

Roode's promo was surprisingly good. I loved the fact he brought up the Canadian angle. Now, if he would just start wearing Canadian gear again.....
This lead to an 8 man tag with British Invasion and Booker/Steiner vs Team 3D and Beer Money Inc. ...it became a free for all with World Elite coming down to ringside then Daniels and the MMG to the save ....then British Invasion won.
Then the riot happened. Kudos fabulous time saving way to set up the next few weeks worth of feuds. Just you spent too much camera time outside when it should have been in the ring on Alex and Chris.

Hey remember a while back when I said I should start to refuse to talk about the MainEventMafia cause they suck. I am sticking to my Guns.

The interview with Hernandez was .....and then to cut to Homicide... hey didn't those guys do a few episodes of OZ back like 6 or 7 years ago?

Round 2 for A.J. Styles and the evil druid Matt Morgan. This was a slow paced match for Styles, and Morgan came off with the win. We are even one win each.

J.B. trying to collect the bounty on Abyss....Love it! Good to see Creed and Lethal again. Even if it was only for 30 seconds.

Brutus vs Sting. I like Brutus. Brutus tapped.

And the MotorCityMachine Guns! That made me happy to the point of laughing for five minutes. An extreme close up with comedy.


When they came down to the ring they had something in hand...was it a comic book? (remember this post I did last month) The crowd was chanting MotorCity in between chanting for Daniels, even though it was Daniels match. Beauty Then their run in save during the tag team match. I could not keep up, the camera man was pulling a Blair Witch shaking the damned thing.

Fabulous or Frightening

This is a mixed post. Not really a "What I learned from Sex and the City" not really a "Are there any Straight Single Men left on this planet" but somewhere in between.


You have all been following my misadventures in dating over the course of this fabulous yet goofy blog, and you have photo proof of my physical self of which you are very aware I do not photograph well at all.
Still hitting that dating site every so often, seeing alot of hot guys on there. Maybe too hot.
Here is the thing, everyone and their dog's grandmother wants someone who's sexy, drool worthy and will make their friends/enemies/frienemies turn ten shades of green. And alot of these hot sexy guys know they are hot sexy guys. They can get any woman they want, and normally do. But they are not keeping them. For whatever reason, otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them on the dating site.

In the Jane Austen Book Club (movie version) there is a line by one of the main characters that says "the pretty marry the pretty , the ugly the ugly" which is true.

Or is it?

I am finding the average guys won't give me the time of day on there, but the hot guys are. Granted I am not getting any dates out of the whole thing but I have been getting some conversations that are surprising.
The most common thing they are saying, these underwear models/bodybuilders/ubergods is that they are not getting hit on. They all seem to be getting alot of views but no actual messages. Other then from me. But then again I am bold enough to take the risk. When you look like I have for the last 35 years of being on this planet (well okay you seen my photo of when I met Vampiro in 1999, I am ten times better looking now so....) you can't afford to wait for the man to say hi. Because you will be waiting till hell freezes over.

Some of these guys are too good looking. It's a bit of a put off, very intimidating. You see them and even if they sound down to earth (and all the men on the site no matter what their looks all claim to be down to earth and easy going) I end up freezing up with the little voice over my shoulder screaming at me that "someone that hot would never look at me". And I am sure I am not the only woman on the site having that voice in their ear.

And they all complain about how they are more then just their photos, then turn around and state that they want a thin, petite woman with big boobs.
Hmmm.
Or if you live more then 25 minutes away not to bother.
Double Hmmm.

Makes you wonder what's wrong with these guys? They seem to come across as knowing what they want, but if they are not finding it, there has to be something wrong with them, right?
Here's my theory. The uber hot men are too used to having a swarm of women after them that they are just sitting back and waiting. Waiting and looking sexy hot. While the women are too afraid to make a move because these men are too good looking.
Alot of the average guys meanwhile are on dozens of favourite lists, and the reason they are not giving me the time of day is because they are busy with the hot chicks.

Follow me?

Question: Asking Men Stupid Questions part 2

Last time on Andrew and the Aluminumsidings..... our heroine asked What do men mean when?
This time our heroine asks....

So then what means "comfort" to you? When you think of something or someone that you connect to the word comfort what is it?

All you men out there always pull the we are not mind readers on us, so I am pulling that on you all. As groovy as mind reading would be, that is not a talent I possess.

My most popular post...

In the wee hours of a Friday morning on March 27 2009, I could not sleep. For whatever reason I got it in my mushy brain that I did not like wrestler Chris Sabin's hair.
I still don't. It's too long and makes him look like he should be working in an auto shop.

So because of a conversation I had with a buddy of mine few hours before, I decided to blog about it.
The conversation was simple, how do you get the attention of a celebrity?
Do you fall down and do a "we're not worthy" worshiping the shoe crap they have dragged in over the rug? Do you flirt? or do you treat them like normal people.
The conversation went like this:

Me - I want to get an interview with Chris Sabin. How do I do that?

Buddy - Send him a photo of your boobs.

Me-Um..right. I am trying to get his attention not scare the crap out of him. Seriously now.

Buddy-I like your boobs. You have my attention.

Me-You're not an international wrestling superstar. Besides what part of I want to interview him are you not understanding. Interview. Meaning chat. So how do I get his attention?

Buddy-I say flirt with him.

Me- Lovely, my career as a Journalist is over before it has really started.

Buddy- Try the fan site on myspace or something.

Me- *deep sigh* I did. I complimented him on his drop kick.

Buddy- *mad fit of laughter* Think about how much fan praise he gets every day from people. Take a more personal approach.

Me- What I should insult his hair?

Buddy- *more laughter* Sure. Insult Chris Sabin's hair, and send me a photo of your boobs.


So this led to me posting my little rant which had then started a bunch of little posts on him, and therefore he needed his own label.
The question now is why? Why has everyone and their dog's grandmother loved or hated my talking about Chris Sabin's hair so much?
Did it work in getting me his attention? Not that I am aware of. I don't normally talk about celebrities, because it gets boring after a while. But yet here I am once again yammering on about a celebrity.
A very sexy, very talented, very cute celebrity. Who still has bad hair.

Know any good cooks? part 2

Okay so I finished the book in record time I might add. My last post I said I was being drawn to the story and did not know why, and if there was any A-HA! moments I would let you know.

Does this count?
*What I feel I am missing is the sense of community, of family and friends.
*I feel I am really short on respect.

I asked myself and put it out there on another site "Are we blogging because we have something to say or because it's expected of us?"

This woman found her purpose, her connection to life at age 30. I haven't found that yet and I am 35.

So it comes down to needing a "Project" to keep me busy and find some meaning for my life. Well let's see, I run something like 8 blogs, 4 ning.com sites, all on different topics. This half year I am part of the All Jane Austen Challenge. I am wanting to move (still) and I have my novel's first draft I am working on.

Hm. Not very exciting.

Know any good cooks?

I saw the trailer for this few months ago, and with it coming out next week, I wanted to read the book first.
Picked it up last night, am halfway through it. I stopped to make a coffee and check emails.

You know when you are just drawn to something and your not sure why?
That is what this story is for me. Something in the air nagged at me till I got off my fabulous middle aged ass and down to the book store. And I will drag my fabulous middle aged ass to the cinema this weekend too.

I used to love to cook. A million years ago when I was first moved out. Had this crazy idea that I was going to be the house everyone came to for Sunday dinners, and for the first year of so of living where I am at the moment, I was. I had little dinner parties all the time. Then my friends lives changed, they split up, had kids, etc. I got lazy, and then when I became a vegetarian, I no longer cared. Shame really, I have so many of Grandma Perry's recipes.

So of course, I had to look this chick up online. Juile Powell, whom I had heard of but never heard of till this movie has done what I have been trying to do. What I mean by that last statement, before I got rid of the evil cable, I used to watch those shows on WNetwork where you had stay at home mom's and the like talking about the best way to slice a mango or how to get a wardrobe that makes you look designer with a budget of only $200, those shows, mentioning her name here and there. I had thought she had done a biography on Julia Childs, didn't know she had done this year long project of cooking and blogging.
So she blogged about her life for a year, when blogging was fresh and shinny and no one did it yet, and had all these readers then got a book deal.

What I have been trying to do.

She also found her purpose. Which I am still trying to do.
All I can say is that if I am being pulled towards this story, there must be a reason for it. If I get a big "A-HA!" moment while reading this book, I will let you know. And when I am finished, I will blog a review. So far, I can't put it down.

My TNA Wish List

I used screen captures again for this post

What I would like to see happen in the next few months on the show

* The removal of MainEventMafia. Right off the bat. I don't care for half these guys, they are boring and all they do is talk. Talk talk talk talk talk blah blah blah blah blah. Go away.

*The removal of Suicide. Just end the gimmick already. I have told you in the past why I don't like this gimmick.

* Get rid of the two on the announce table, and bring in someone new. I said once before I would love to see Joel Gertner on the mic.

*More tag teams.

*More MotorCityMachine Guns! You know how I feel about these two (They are the two sexiest men alive.) And I feel like I have been cheated lately with the way Impact has been. They are just not on enough. Give me two full hours of X-Division matches. Let the MMG be on for most of it.
I blog about Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin because damn it, they are fabulous! The show just does not have the same kick when they are not on. Damn I feel a fresh rant coming on.
