Today you are lucky to view a "Interview" I conducted back in 1997 - notice the horrible lighting, bad sound, wtf was I wearing? Well - this is all "pPre-Rockstar" days - I hope to post lots more videos - everyone always wants to see them! I apologize for the poor quality again but as I get to latter day in my career you will see the evolution of "The Rockstar" and the progression of better video production! </span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">Jut a quick set up - this was taped in 1997 @ The International Ball Room in Atlanta, a few nights prior to our event - Marilyn Manson had busted up some mirrors in the back dressing rooms! Needless to say the building manager wasn't to excited about having a bunch of wrestlers in his building! Anyway - this is a horrible interview I conducted with 2 guys I still to this day have no idea who they were and a cameo appearance by former WCW wrestler Rocky King - "Little Richard" for you Freebirds fans out there! </span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">At this point this was one of the last GAWA shows - myself and some of the guys were disgruntled with the way the promotion was being run - the horrible quality of the program (did you notice?) - we thought we could do better. Myself - I was about 2 years or so into the business - I was still "green" or "wet behind the ears" but I thought I knew everything! Well - as you will see in future clips - I didn't know everything but I sure had learned a lot in a short time!</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">Enjoy!</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724532918314082155.post-39539853114877157572008-06-23T20:49:00.002-04:002008-12-09T17:06:50.346-05:00Spiderwick Chronicles<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik90pNinO8Czch-uPLUGadg6JMUThIJF9tncWAROUIroWu92pPkERQ9PCXj8FLH1Kawrw1Uxy8wNBaio3Y4ATGS_2NH64B_4a_FlWnuJBexsl7CfqOzDjk3yv5I-ffMoEeKIrW5ZkImkg/s1600-h/20.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215244214022867026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik90pNinO8Czch-uPLUGadg6JMUThIJF9tncWAROUIroWu92pPkERQ9PCXj8FLH1Kawrw1Uxy8wNBaio3Y4ATGS_2NH64B_4a_FlWnuJBexsl7CfqOzDjk3yv5I-ffMoEeKIrW5ZkImkg/s400/20.jpg" border="0" /></a> Finally, The Spiderwick Chronicles is being released on DVD tomorrow! Sprites, Pixies, Goblins, Brownies oh my! This by ar has been Max's favorite "thing" in his years on the globe. I took him to see it back in Feb. - and he was hooked - I wonder how many times he'll watch it tomorrow? I guess Star Wars will be on the back burner for a bit!

<div><span style="font-size:130%;">We really had a great time in Chicago - celebrated my grandmother's 88th Birthday, got to see my mom and dad, spent time with my brother and his wife, played Xbox with my nephews, met my new one - and came to the realization that I have no desire to ever live in a "big market" again! Don't get me wrong - I love Chicago and I will always be glad that I am from there - but I am complacent living in my 3 mile radius! For those of you that know me - I often gloat about the fact that I never really go more than 3 miles from my house. For some - I know that is sad and I might seem like an isolationist - we'll I am! I have a hard enough time dealing with the assholes in my 3 mile radius - I couldn't imagine dealing with more!</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:130%;">So when we got back in town we got to go to The Raconteurs show - Jack White from the White Stripes - my wife loved it - me not so much - well maybe the beers and Jack and Coke I did but - I was outta my 3 mile radius!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">So far we have been enjoying the summer - Max and I camped out again last night. We have been busy going to the water fountains, playing in the sprinklers, jamming in Lego Star Wars!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">Oh yeah - I fell off the wagon! For several years I have been a pretty heavy smoker a pack a day at least - I took Chantix and was able to quit for more than 100 days - well - one thing lead to another and I have found myself puffing down some Swisher Sweets - so once again I am back on the Chantix and once again look forward to not smelling like an ashtray!</span></div>

Lets see... Max and I have been camping in the back yard, went to the Zoo, played Lego Star Wars, and just trying to keep busy since he is outta school. We have been checking out the Rabbit Hill by our house - huge water fountains for a few hours of fun! Zoey jumped right in like a champ and she loves the water. It has been nice that she is communicating a bit more...she listens pretty good - better than Max at times.
We are all geared up for our trip to Chicago on Thursday - I am thinking about hooking the PS2 up in the car - that should keep Max quiet - but can I handle hours of Lego Star Wars shooting for hours on end?
Well we are all sitting down for our movie selection of the day...I told Max we were going to watch a different movie every day this summer - today's feature presentation is Madagacar...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724532918314082155.post-45564615763631654562008-05-24T22:01:00.005-04:002008-12-09T17:06:53.230-05:00Camping Out<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4P_7TjKGX17OgtSIUi7payJNJA1k6EHbUjlisBCh_jHyJBzw-wQTTKMwiP2XEEnDPhpd1ju4Jbqp5j0to_XMnVOFj8pWVuzhpFTyEsFv_5oPhOvZc5RaX4nETAqgDotIJAq3k7hJ-z4Q/s1600-h/P1030398.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204131351135380018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4P_7TjKGX17OgtSIUi7payJNJA1k6EHbUjlisBCh_jHyJBzw-wQTTKMwiP2XEEnDPhpd1ju4Jbqp5j0to_XMnVOFj8pWVuzhpFTyEsFv_5oPhOvZc5RaX4nETAqgDotIJAq3k7hJ-z4Q/s400/P1030398.JPG" border="0" /></a>

<div>So our camp out night didn't go as planned - we had some friends stop over - had a few drinks and the camping night fell apart. Max is all snuggled in bed with Laura. Zoey is a tight in her crib, and me well I am blogging this from the tent in the backyard.</div>
<div>So my wife said she was going to take the kids to Cleveland for the day...I really hope she does - I could really use the break - I think we all could. I have a long list of things I want to get done tomorrow before passing out in the tent again around 4 - ahhh wouldnt that be the greatest!</div>

<div><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Trust</strong> is a relationship of reliance. A trusted party is presumed to seek to fulfill </span><a title="Policy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policy"><span style="font-size:130%;">policies</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;">, </span><a title="Ethics" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics"><span style="font-size:130%;">ethical</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> codes, </span><a title="Law" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law"><span style="font-size:130%;">law</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> and their previous promises.
Trust does not need to involve belief in the good character, vices, or morals of the other party. Persons engaged in a criminal activity usually trust each other to some extent. Also trust does not need to include an action that you and the other party are mutually engaged in. Trust is a prediction of reliance on an action, based on what a party knows about the other party. Trust is a statement about what is otherwise unknown -- for example, because it is far away, cannot be verified, or is in the future.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">How many people do you really trust?

So my purchases included the previously mentioned "Super Bad", "Mr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Magoriums</span> Wonder Emporium", and "<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Sweeney</span> Todd". </div><div> </div><div>Well - I couldn't get outta there just spending $20 so I bought some PS2 Games also - another steal...a Wrestling Game called "Galactic Wrestling" (All of the old MUSCLE guys), "Open Season" for Max, and "Man Hunt 2" (no not a gay game - one where you stalk and kill people)...needless to say -all 3 for $25</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724532918314082155.post-6108835482669432272008-05-16T08:23:00.004-04:002008-12-09T17:06:54.311-05:00The Circus Review<span style="font-size:130%;">

</span><div><span style="font-size:130%;">So we all went to the Circus last night and had a great time - I only kicked one rude guy in the shin....I think he will look where he is going the next time he decided to plow his way through a crowd of kids and families and then run into me carrying my 20 month old daughter. I did feel like we got "sucker punched" after we walked through the door.... (2 Light up thingies $40, one Tiger stuffed animal ($18), One box of Ringling Bros Popcorn ($8), One Picture as a Clown ($16), we didn't purchase this but One Box of Cotton Candy ($12) - yeah doesn't take a genius to do the math there! </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">Anyway we all really enjoyed it - Zoey really liked the Clowns, and the "Kitty Cats". Max ...I think was just visually stimulated by everything, Bello The Clown, and mostly all of the cool cars they had. Dad enjoyed watching the half dressed Circus girls, Laura I think liked the Tightrope Brothers (or lovers?)!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">A couple of "bonus" things also - parking was only $5 bucks and we only had to walk about a block....next to the parking lot The Circus had set up a staging area for the animals - so we all got to go in before the show started and see all of the animals up close!</span></div>

Yeah - I don't think so...
Tonight we are taking the kids to Ringling Bros... It sure has been a long time since I have been to the Circus -<em> </em>I think the last time I went was in like 1994 - I was taking a girl on a "surprise" date and found out she was an active member of PETA...if I remember correctly I don't think we went on a date again.
A long time has passed since then and we are headed out as a family to see the "BELLO-BRATION" - what happened to the regular fricken circus? I guess they have to change with the times too! Regardless - I showed Max a video this morning and he seems pretty amped up about it.... Zoey on the other hand has been in a foul mood all day long and we are dragging her out right when she goes to bed...that on top of my strong dislike of being in crowds, driving in bumper to bumper traffic...hopefully we will have a great time! I will report back tomorrow to let you know if I tell anyone to F-Off or call anyone an A-Hole at the Circus!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724532918314082155.post-36948270145308539672008-05-14T16:20:00.003-04:002008-12-09T17:06:54.618-05:00Polar Bear "Threatened"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7gWzuMe-Pt1NlCBOSoyQdY2Pe-X_DTQqTssROGJi9YcKw6ahXYEsi9XH2ue55aKxv6k2-3sxiXSFhQLe4TGu1Cc8h2FmXRTQzQUX_ASTEmPBJSxKrRoD1nxqIeG7jSaDEE0R4JuQBSAk/s1600-h/art_polar_bears_ap.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200331623852561058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7gWzuMe-Pt1NlCBOSoyQdY2Pe-X_DTQqTssROGJi9YcKw6ahXYEsi9XH2ue55aKxv6k2-3sxiXSFhQLe4TGu1Cc8h2FmXRTQzQUX_ASTEmPBJSxKrRoD1nxqIeG7jSaDEE0R4JuQBSAk/s400/art_polar_bears_ap.jpg" border="0" /></a> I am one of the last people that would be deemed an "<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">environmentalist</span>" but <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/05/14/polar.bears.listing/index.html">this story </a>made me very sad.

<div>So Max was up a little later than usual last night and up a little earlier than usual this morning....now he is laying like a limp sloth on our couch! I had pretty much have become a pro with dealing with sick "infants" but a 4 year old - yeah ...no clue.</div>
<div></div>
<div>I just hope he doesn't puke! I can deal with everything....but puke...not so well.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Poor guy! Hopefully he can just get a lot of rest today. He can watch Star Wars again! 2 1/2 of my kid on crack - he is mesmorized by Star Wars.</div>
<div></div>
<div>We went to The Police Concert last night....The Police was my first concert as a kid in 1983 at the Rosemont Horizon. Last night the band I saw was merely a shadow of their former selves. Andy Sommers had more "asses" on his chin than the whole venue, Stuart looked like himself just 25 years older - not a good look for a 50 something guy....Sting on the other hand - does not age....he looked great and his biceps looked huge! They sounded great from what a could hear - but visually something that will scar my memory for a while... </div><div> </div><div>And here comes the puke! I am in for fun today!</div>

<div>We'll I did something yesterday - that was long over due! I decided to trade in all of my old video games (well not all of them). Anyway - I realize that you can't get more than .50 on some games these days - geeze I didn't think my games sucked that bad!</div>
<div></div>
<div>Anyway - I decided to go ahead an pick up "Rock Band" for myself and Nick Jr."Attack of The Toybots" for Max...</div>
<div></div><div>Well I must admit - I don't think I will be picking up Guitar Hero for a while! The songs included in Rock Band are much more along the lines of my musical taste! Regardless - I will be able to "shred" anyone that dares enter my house and picks up one of my axes....</div><div> </div><div>Can't wait until it warms up again! I am missing being outside with the kids and doing yard work! Most of my "projects" are finished on the inside of the house - I still have to tackle our master bedroom closet - it just doesn't make a ton of sense for me to clean out the 7 shirts and 5 pair of pants I have as opposed to my wife's side which is filled with tons of clothes - but she still never has anything to wear? Hmmm? </div><div> </div><div>Today we are gonna go and run some errands - I need to pick up a "old" found love - I have been really into incense of late - it drives Laura nuts - but it's cheaper and safer than candles!</div><div> </div><div> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724532918314082155.post-50734574867446233682008-04-28T09:32:00.007-04:002008-12-09T17:06:56.104-05:00Creative Side<div>So lately I have been doing a bunch of "creative" things with the kids. For Laura's birthday - we managed to get all of our old picture frames up to date with new pictures!</div>
<div>I even made these cool "personalized" frames for each of the kids - with old toys and stuff glued on them - sounds a bit much - but hopefully I will get closer to my million dollar idea someday!</div>
<div>One thing I learned from this project - is no matter what the old frame is - if you had a picture in that frame - "mentally" its hard to change the picture of the orginal picture that was in there...</div>
<div>Cool new Tshirts -that I made for Max - hopefully it's ok for a 4 year old to wear stolen copywrite stuff!</div>

Wow - so Wesley is in trouble for not paying taxes - hmmm ...lets see he made millions while some people can't even fill their gas tank up with gas....
I hate taxes - my wife pays tons of them - would be great if we didn't have too! I am sure we would all enjoy the extra money! Would be a lot easier to pay our mortgage on our other house...
I love your movies but Wesley - seems like you suck at life.
He said it in White Men Can't jump - <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000437/">Billy Hoyle</a>: "You are so stupid. It would take your mother 1, no. 2 hours to watch 60 MINUTES."

I kept asking him what he was saying and he was cracking up saying "Great Felt! Well what he meant to say is "Felt Great"!

</span><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Today we went to the Zoo! I think Max had a good time - was more like a fast, test out trip...we'll go back again someday soon. Max got to touch a snake and a ferret - we didn't go to the kids Zoo though...maybe next time. It was just as I predicted - some kids running all over the place, moms not paying attention to their kids - old people parking their "rascals" and wondering about! If you need the frickin Rascal so bad - why don't you stay in it instead of parking it the middle of nowhere. Hmmmm? Is their a future in Rascal Valet parking? I think next time we will go later in the afternoon - at least the field trips will be gone by then!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">The only other hitch in the trip was a construction worker driving back from "lunch break"... This guy was speeding through the parking lot - so I followed him. He parked his car and I rolled down my window - I told him he should really slow down - their are a lot of families with kids around - he seemed to be a little intimidated - then I followed up with "It would suck if you took out a kid or someones family" with a smile. I am sure he felt humilated as I repremanded him in front of his "work buddies" - the asshole deserved it!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">So after a 35 minute nap by Zoey - we ventured back out to the park - Max had is first "ouch" injury of the spring....I watched him fall from these stepping stool things and his head bounce back like a pinball machine... Didn't look so good! He should be allright - I can't tell you how many times I hit my head or was knocked out as a kid - only to get back up and shrug it off! Hmmmm maybe that's what's wrong with me! Anyway - I feel bad for the little guy....he is enjoying watching Sponge Bob and sipping down some water now!</span></div>

</span><div><span style="font-size:130%;">What to do with Zoey's hair? Since I shave my head - and not to up on how to do a little girls hair! I need some help! I have tried bows (reminds me of a Pat Benetar video) - they seem to be too small for her big head (she get's that from my wife(the big head)). Anyway - I have been searching online to find some tips! This is the best I have found so far - </span><a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Style-a-Little-Girl"><span style="font-size:130%;">http://www.wikihow.com/Style-a-Little-Girl</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> - I will keep you updated!</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724532918314082155.post-28587978198040064842008-04-17T19:09:00.003-04:002008-04-17T19:22:43.968-04:00Mom is working late...What a great day we had today! Lots of fun in the front yard...the back yard...the garage.
I think <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Zoey</span> likes Max's "4 Wheeler" better than he does! It was nice to talk to Max's teacher today and see that he is doing better in school. She said he is listening better and behaving better also.
Well it's 7 PM and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Zoey</span> is enjoying Dora - Max is enjoying a cool bottle of Crayola Water and Dad is getting a rest! Of course my foot started hurting me today - yes ....a gout flare up(No not only old Jewish Men get the gout)! The gout sucks - but I think it's because I have been loosing weight so quickly - I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">weighed</span> in at 218 today...only 3 pounds from my "target" weight! Everything after 215 is a bonus! Ahhh.... the hours of feeling my stomach gargle and thoughts of someday obtaining a figure off The PS90 video can't be too far away! Anyway - if you are counting I have lost 22 lbs! I have been smoke free for over 50 days - things are looking up - I hope!
We are gonna go to the Zoo tomorrow - should be a nightmare there! I can only inagine the number of parents who let their kids run wild because they are at the Zoo! It's going to be in the upper 70's - ahh what am I asking for??? We'll see! Well - I will have the camera charged up and ready to go - only if blogger lets me put pictures up again...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724532918314082155.post-66107479445542043132008-04-16T08:34:00.003-04:002008-04-16T09:27:59.538-04:005 Year Anniversary<span style="font-size:130%;">So we are not on some beach in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jamaica</span> celebrating our 5 years of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">marriage</span> like we said we were going to do! Let's see...since we have been married we have lived in 4 states, 6 different houses, numerous "Extended Stays" along the way! Not to mention our 2 prize possessions that we have accumulated <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">along</span> the way - our two kids of course! Together we have accomplished in 5 years what takes some people a lifetime. We have been through good times and bad times...but most off all....I know that through everything we both love each other more than anything! I can't wait to see what the next 5 years holds and watch our kids grow along the way!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
