Watching the UGA/UK Game

There is a reason I stay up and watch this people.

What he should have said

And a child shall lead them...

Jesus Titfucking Christ

That was the most ridiculous day of college football that I can remember ever watching.

I am going to see Slint motherfuckers!!!

I'm trying to find my way home.


For no real reason, I popped in Spiderland today, and listened to the damn thing seven or eight times over the course of the workday. I do a Google search on Slint this afternoon, and damn if they aren't doing Spiderland two and a half hours up the road tomorrow night. I figure a dude my age has maybe one shot in a lifetime to see this. I will be there.

It's hard out their for a dude with an autistic kid.

The more I read about this, the more it becomes the saddest shit I have ever seen.

I don't know what the fuck I will do if I have a kid with circumstances. Bret Hart said the kid might have had dwarfism too. What the hell, God? What the hell?

No more crippling

I prefer to remember him like this.


Anybody who cares is aware of the Chris Benoit situation. Talking to Brad about it, he said that everytime something like this happens, it is like a piece of his childhood dies. He made that statement before details of what actually transpired came out. I knew from just watching the news enough that when someone is found dead with their wife and child, some horrible shit probably went down. I don't know about Brad's statement though. I felt a pretty big sense of detachment when I first heard about Benoit Monday afternoon. It made me realize how little I really care about wrestling nowadays, something that used to be an enormous part of my life. I think my childhood died a long time ago, I'm just now noticing it.

For whoever reads this that doesn't know, Chris Benoit was my favorite wrestler when I watched it. By a huge margin. I bought VHS tapes of the man wrestling in Japan off of the internet with my mom's 28.8 kbps modem back in high school. I still have them, and they are still some of the most impressive things I've ever seen, athletically. The matches that he used to have with Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Perry Saturn, and Rey Mysterio were the best I have ever watched. Chris Benoit was essentially my hero for about 5 years of my life.

I very, very rarely pay attention to professional wrestling nowadays. From what little I've seen since I went to college, Chris Benoit had lost several steps from when he was the most ridiculous athlete out there doing it. I will still watch his old matches and enjoy them. I am really more weirded out by the whole situation than upset. I think if I can take anything from all of this, it is to not have heroes. They can only let you down.
