10 years feels like an eternity...

SEPTEMBER 17TH 2003  THE DAY ONE LIFE ENDED AND ANOTHER BEGAN

It has gotten easier though.  My father's death was the single most life changing experience I have ever had.  I had been a wreck for years.  It was one of the reasons I moved to Mexico.  Everywhere in Atlanta reminded me of him.  I was so close to offing myself so many times due to enormous depression.

10 years now.  He was my champion, my provider, and my best friend.  I felt like half a human for years.  Even during my marriage of almost 7 years now.  The last two years have been better though.  I don't dream about him as much as I used to.  I thought life could not go on without him.  Especially since the JW's said Armaggeddon was any day now.  I was living on the edge.  Thinking I would see my father any day.  It was all bullshit though.


But like I said, life is better today.  I have a successful business and a lovely wife.  No debts etc.  So what is next?  Getting old.  Then my own death.  But I will accumulate as much toys as possible before the shithouse goes up in flames!  Yeah I just totally ripped off Jim Morrison there.

Love ya Dad!

Miss you so much it hurts.  But I am better today than 10 years ago.  Wish you could see my cafe.
 Geez we look alike!
The above pics are of Dad when he was around 17.  My cousin Jackie sent me them.  She is about the only family of real blood I have left.

Score Saturday- New DVDS! Finally!

Oh yeah....So I can cross 2 of my list of 400 I am wanting...
Braveheart- 35 pesos!  That is like $2!  WHOOO!  Love it.  Been looking for a LONG time.

Skyfall- This completes my James Bond collection for now.  I have all of them.  Even Never say never again.

Also picked up the Rose.  Not on my list but Wifey LOVES Janis Joplin which this movie is based on.
Also THIS was there!  The first WWE magazine in ENGLISH here in Saltillo that I have ever seen!  I didn't buy it though.  It was $12.  

One more thing...GROUND TURKEY!  They actually had ground turkey!  Now I can have guilt free hamburger helper but with turkey!!!  Man...I am finding more and more reasons to stay right here.  

I just hope to visit the states in October!

WWF CUSTOM KING OF THE RING THRONE PLAYSET!

Oh yeah.  The wrestling crap just keeps on getting churned out.  While the guys over at wrestlingfigs.com make steel cages till the cows come home, we do things a little differently here.  By making playsets NO ONE has ever done before!  I used this image below to start with.
This was King of the Ring 1996.  The one Austin won.  I always liked this set.  Steps up to the throne with the cape and crown on the side.

Found this image on Google for a closeup of what the throne looks like.  With the lions etc.

So let's see what my artist came up with...
 My artist ROCKS!  Look at that!  Even includes fuzzy purple stuff.  I wanted purple instead of red because I wanted the carpet red.
 King Owen Hart!  The King of Harts!  Owen won it in 1994 with an assist from Jim Neidhart.  Loved the bad guy Owen!  My artist even made the thing the cape hangs on and the thing the crown rests on.
 Yup.  Austin won it too.  The famous Austin 3:16 came about at KOTR in 1996.
 He even detailed the back of it!  This stuff is hard too!  Great play quality!
Uh oh...Got caught playing with my toys again.  Yeah that joke NEVER gets old does it?


I am  a little dis-satisfied with the black in the stone.  I am going to repaint it another form of grey to look a little more natural.

Controversial Thursday- customizers...

This was made just a few months ago...

I hate these kinds of asshats.....Lord Tensai JUST came back and someone just has to customize one.  They cannot wait 6 months for Mattel to release a figure of him.  So they cut up a perfectly good figure because they have no patience.  When the real deal comes out they will buy him and this poor custom will be sold on Ebay or something like that.  Even if I had the disposible income to cut up my figures I wouldn't do it.  If offends me.  Especially if I don't have it yet.  I have seen on Ebay people ruining countless figures and think they are artists by charging hundreds of dollars for their "art".  Ughh....

Wednesday Wishlist S edition DVD I want part 1

I must have these!  

1. Salem's lot- I want the full TV movie.  The entire enchilada!  I have it on VHS and it is severely edited.

2. Saturday the 14th-  This is $40 on frickin Amazon.  That pisses me off!  I really want this film.

3. Searching for Bobby Fischer- Again...It is $60 on Amazon.  What is going on?  The DVD is going out because of Blu-Ray.  Why are these DVD's so frickin expensive?

4. She's having a baby- The music alone is for me to buy this one.

5. Shockwaves- Saw this LATE at night on the Movie Channel.  Nazi zombies.  What can you not love?
6. Sid and Nancy- this was my bible back in 1987.  I was a punk kid and followed this movie almost every day.

7. Silver Bullet-  I just watched this on Youtube the other day.  Like it that this DVD comes with the Dead Zone.  

8. Six Weeks-  Why this hasn't been released I will never know.  It is such a sweet movie with Moore hot off of his Arthur fame.

9. Surburbia-  Another one that was my punk Bible when I was a kid.  It is also on Youtube.

10. Somewhere in time-  You want to romance your wife?  This IS the movie for you.
Bonus...Student bodies-  The movie kind of sucks.  But man did it suck me in the movie channel whenever it would come on.

League Assignment- Blue things!

 League Assignment....Blue things.  Okie dokie....I wasn't around when the Green and Red things were discussed.  Well going through my mind of blue things leads me to the pics below...
Braves 1982 baseball- All had blue uniforms.  That is the way it should be.  Have NO idea what they wear today.  I have seen ugly grey though.  I used to want to be a pitcher like Bedrosian in my younger years.  Would practice for hours with Dad outside.  Oh well.  Lost interest when Heman came along.

Batman in blue- This is the only acceptable version of Batman IMO.  I hate all the black outfits with body armor.  Pictured above is a Batman brush I used to have.  I am still a firm believer that this costume would work well in the movies.

The blue screen from Empire Strikes back for Atari 2600 systems.  Had many hours playing this game.  Was never very good at it but hey...It was the highlight of the Atari era!
The blue wrapping from Dolly Madison's Coconut Creme pie.  YUMMY!  Loved getting these and going to the neighborhood pool with the guys.  There was a Dolly Madison store near my house in Atlanta.  They had everything.  SHAME they went out of business.


I will not dare take the Smurfs as someone will invaribly want a shot at them.  I suppose I am the first of the bloggers to do the assignment but when others post I will gladly put their links in.

Geek does the blue lineup!
