It’s funny. You reach a point where you let yourself think for one second, okay maybe we can start returning to a normal life, I can start writing blog posts with regular frequency because I have plenty of stuff to talk about. That would mean I’m happy or at least not absolutely miserable about the state of the world. Mind you I do have a lovely wife and a fantastic son but it’s very hard for me to be truly positive when it comes to what’s surrounding me. So much that it has affected my writing, more than I like to think about for the simple fact that I might be rationalizing not having this site anymore.
I don’t like that at all, especially from the time I was 18 until I got the site in 2013, so roughly 20 years, I had wanted one and knew exactly which domain I wanted. Heck, I still check Kedrix.com as well every six months or so…oh would you look at that? Kedrix.com is available for $5,195. HugeDomains.com, you can suck it, seriously. (I would probably consider it for 1 to 2k) I’m not a fan of squatters. I consider myself lucky that I got Kedrix.net when I did.
Going back to writing, keep in mind that I haven’t even done a book review (above assigning a rating) in months. My reviews have been limited and most blu-rays and dvds I get these days are from the bargain bin. I’m more likely to get a new cd release than a new movie for the most part. Heck, I got the new St Vincent cd upon release back in May (not bad though I preferred Masseduction and her self titled cd). I will probably pick up the new release from Prince’s vault when it drops in a couple of weeks. I also plan to get Jungle’s new cd when it drops in August. Maybe I should start doing cd reviews, lol.
Or perhaps I should start talking wrestling again. WWE finally has live crowds back and Money in the Bank was last night (don’t read the next part if you are trying to avoid spoilers).

Spoilers ahead. Feel free to visit my Black Cauldron review from June instead.

The best match was Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair in my opinion. They had the most chemistry and the finish of Charlotte finally outwitting Rhea made complete sense. This would probably be followed by the Men MITB match which saw a very deserved win for Big E. Disappointments of the night? Well Kofi and Lashley would be an obvious favorite. I know, let’s make Lashley strong but they made Kofi look up to the level of someone who had a tryout match for NXT against Karrion Kross. Heck Kross sells more moves than Lashley. I think they had Goldberg next in mind for Lashley from what I’ve read, but why? But I guess Summerslam is just about selling as many tickets as they can even if Goldberg really isn’t a draw anymore.
The Women’s Money in the Bank was also disappointing. I like Nikki Cross, really I do. But this Almost a Super Hero gimmick isn’t winning anyone over. It’s just sadly all creative has for her at the moment. I also guess if I listened to the Internet trolls, I mean the Internet Wrestling Community, I would have believed that every one was going to take a crap on Alexa Bliss (who has always been one of my favorites). That was FAR from the truth. She was getting some solid fan reaction in the form of loud cheers anytime she was close to winning and a solid boo when she was buried by the other seven superstars with ladders. I read Twitter this morning and a few idiots were still trying to convince others that they were booing her or there was no reaction at all. You know who had no reaction at all? Natalya and Tamina. Bless their heart, they work their butts off, but still no one seems to care.
Which is certainly what they did with John Cena challenging Roman Reigns at the end of the PPV. We could believe that John Cena will finally get his 17th World Title which would also lead the way to Big E going over John Cena (because Cena has always been willing to put some one over) via his MITB shot. Big E proved he could be a main eventer with his IC reign, so I’m certainly willing to make the leap on the Universal Championship. Or perhaps Roman is just going to be World Champ until Wrestlemania when they would arguably bring back Lesnar. So they can have a World Title match where I completely fall asleep. This is why I watch NXT with more regularity.
7/20 – Update: Looks like Nikki ASH won the Woman’s title on Raw from Charlotte after Rhea left her laying. They love giving Charlotte the short reigns as they try to convince everyone that she is every bit Ric’s daughter. This will most likely lead to a triple threat at Summerslam where Nikki will probably still go over in some fashion. Does this probably just lead the way for Becky to come back and fued with Nikki over the title, hrmmm that doesn’t sound quite right. I will have to think about that a little more.
Anyway, I think this qualifies as a solid blog post for today. I’m not really playing any video games worth mentioning, but if I do play some really good indie game or an AAA title that just got released, I’ll bring it up for sure. Have a great day, I’m going to try and do this a couple of times a week, even if I’m just rambling about random subjects like I did here. Anything is better than just watching grass grow. Enjoy.
