With The Best of Intentions..

...comes the worst of failures. Not everytime. But a lot. Not "alot" though. Ask Allie about that. 

Anyway, so I haven't been keeping up a daily schedule with this blogging. D'oh! The problem is that I want to be witty, and funny, and awesome and I am not convinced that I can pull that off consistently, yet alone on a DAILY basis. I guess time will tell. The few people that ARE reading this could do me a favor and comment and/or subscribe to this blog. That way I know I am making a difference in a child's life. Or not. Whatevs. 

I just spent about an hour playing some Rock Band 3. I have over 500 songs (mostly via DLC) so don't ask me to name my favorite songs to play. I play expert on Guitar, Bass, Vocals and Regular keys. I can do medium/hard on Pro Keys and Drums. Go me? lol. The reason I mention this is because Harmonix, the makers of Rock Band, release downloadable songs every week for the game. They've been doing it since about 2007 and there is one song that has been glaringly ALARMINGLY absent since that time. 

Now playing: "In A Gadda Da Vida" by Iron Butterfly

Oh yes ladies and gents, I'm talking about one of the "trippiest" stoner songs there could possibly be. A song that is so epic, heavy metal badasses Slayer covered it.

Here's part of the wikipedia entry for the song:

"A commonly related story says that the song's title was originally "In the Garden of Eden" but at one point in the course of rehearsing and recording, singer Doug Ingle became intoxicated and slurred the words, creating the mondegreen that stuck as the title. However, the liner notes on 'the best of' CD compilation state that drummer Ron Bushy was listening to the track through headphones, and could not clearly distinguish what Doug Ingle answered when Ron asked him for the title of the song (which was originally "In-the-Garden-of-Eden"). An alternate explanation, as given in the liner notes of the 1995 re-release of the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album, is that Ingle was drunk or high, or both, when he first told Bushy the title, and Bushy wrote it down. Bushy then showed Ingle what he had written, and the slurred title stuck."

The point is that this song would blow every other song in the game out of the water, and I DEMAND TO HAVE IT! *shakes fist at the Harmonix HQ in a menacing way in the hopes that they deliver*

In other news, my buddy Isaac had quite the epiphany on Facebook today:

LOL! Sometimes fate is just against you man, there's nothing you can do about it.

SummerSlam

Alberto Del Rio as champ???

How does the WWE spend the entire summer building around CM Punk, just to have him lose the belt to some scrub in a stupid way?? There was no denying that CM Punk single-handedly revitalized wrestling. WWE Fans who haven't given two squirts of piss about the "sport" for years were suddenly talking about it again! I should know, I'm one of them! Punk made it ok to talk about wrestling again because the WWE was doing some of the most creative things they have ever done! Breaking down the 4th wall never happens. It was an unwritten rule that you don't slander the people you work for, especially not on live television! But here was CM Punk, tearing down that wall like some Berlin citizen in the late 80s/early 90s. And you know what? People were loving it! Everything was going splendidly.


Until now. Talk about dropping the ball here. 


The WWE may have just killed the very thing that was saving it; CM Punk's credibility. Sure he might have beaten John Cena, but to have him turn around and lose the belt to Del Rio? That makes no sense. 


Ok, it makes some sort of sense to the higher-ups within the federation. They want to build a new star (Del Rio) and they figured that this was the first step. They are wrong, but I can see the logic behind it (no matter how moronic) and I look forward to seeing how they plan on proceeding tomorrow night on Raw. 


**Ends rant before he makes even less sense than right now**
