Feel Like Recording

I haven't done recording in a while and so I got the urge to do some recording. I will keep you posted as to what I got done. Maybe I might record "What People Do For Beauty" or "Try" or "I Remember" or "Irish Spring." But keep watching my MySpace page for new songs posted.

Is St. Patrick's Day Pointless?

Most people who are non-Christian make a big deal about St. Patrick's Day. They feel they have to get drunk whether they are Irish or not. I myself have never seen what the big deal is with St. Patrick's and the fascination with getting drunk? Do most people not realize that St. Patrick is a religious figure in the realm of Christianity.

I find it ironic they are using a Christian's saints birthday as an excuse to drink and get drunk. There are plenty of other days that people can do that on. Why does it have to be one specific day. Plus he is not even Irish. St. Patrick is Welsh. But most don't see that.

People go out, get drunk, than have a bad hangover the next day. Sure I like to drink every now and then, but some people make a big deal about having to go out on St. Patrick's Day and a get tanked. Again I ask, why do you need a certain day to go out and drink?

I feel as though aside from the Christianity aspect of St. Patrick's Day, is using this day as an excuse to drink is pointless? I guess maybe I don't get it. But I feel it is pointless. Maybe someone can explain to me the whole point. Is a hangover worth it to drink on one day? Isn't that what Fridays, Saturdays, birthdays, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day, Thanksgiving, and other such days for?

Andrew "Test" Martin Dead At 33

I am sure most wrestling fans and people browsing news in general have heard that former WWF/WWE and TNA star Andrew "Test" Martin has died. According to reports, Test died in his Tampa, Florida condo. The reports didn't say how he died when the story first broke and the death has yet to be confirmed at this time.

I am going to say that I was never a Test fan, but to say this isn't fucked up is a mistake. But people are blaming Vince McMahon already based on the fact that McMahon has been associated with steroids in the past. That is bullshit because we don't even know if steroids were even the cause Test's death. Sure steroids were the cause of many wrestlers deaths, but that doesn't mean that is the case with Test. But people are going to assume that based on his size. That is bullshit and like someone in a chatroom named Scott said that maybe Test actually worked out.

That is sad the mentality of a lot of pro wrestling fans, especially the hardcore, unknowledgable, WWE marks or fans if you will. I am a WWE fan, but I not a dumb WWE fan. I don't play into the bullshit that Vince McMahon throws at you. I don't automatically assume that Vince McMahon is behind all deaths associated with former WWWF/WWF/WWE talent. Some die from heart attacks with being too obsese such as Rodney "Yokozuna" Anoa'i. Some have died from dieases like cancer such as John "Earthquake" Tenta. But again people automatically assume a drug, alcohol, or steroid related death.

If this does turn out to be a steroid related death, this will give more fuel to Colin Cowherds' fire. If you remember, he ripped on Eddie Guerrero on his radio show "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" on ESPN Radio because steroids played a part in his death.

A fews final thoughts about this. Here is a sobering thought, over 60, give or take, wrestlers in the last ten years have died before they reach the age of 50. Test just adds to the growing number. Finally Test was only 33. Sure a lot of people at that age did, but Test had a lot of life left to live.

Inspired

Yes I have been inspired to write a song. Thanks to Shawn, someone who I went to college with, was the source of this inspiration. He wrote a note on Facebook which inspired me. The song is entitled "I Remember." I am still working on the lyrics. So stay tuned for that.

KFC CAN ON TAYLOR STREET CAN FUCK OFF!!!

Sorry for the cursing will happen in the following, but I am so frustrated and pissed off at KFC. I know its been a while, I had some topics I wanted to blog about, but I didn't get to it. So here is my rant...

I ordered a large popcorn chicken, jumbo fries, medium gravy, and a 2L pop between 4:30 - 4:45 PM on February 14th, 2009. The order wasn't to my place within the 45 minutes like they said. I phoned back the first time and asked what is happening with it. This woman said to wait ten more minutes. I waited almost an hour. I called back a second time. I tried to get my order free, but they said to wait as they would "be there soon." They also gave me a 20 per cent discount on a future purchase. The delivery driver still didn't show up.

I phoned a third time and he gave me the run around. I told him that I wanted my food free, so here is the run around. He told me that they don't have any control over what their drivers do since they have a company deliver for them. What bullshit eh? He said to pay what I owed for the meal and I would get the amount I ordered in free food next time when it got there. I told the guy I told to that I would take the food and not pay for it. He than replied that he would not deliver to my place again. I stated that I don't want to pay for cold food. I told him I wanted my original order free as well as the 20 per cent discount and the amount of product that equaled this order free. But he would do that. I took down the name of who I talked to, his managers name, the date, and time of the third call.

I am going to call and talk to the manager about this. I am also going to find that courier services number and call them. I may even have to filed a complaint with the company that does their delivery service. It is terrible, yet I live within WALKING DISTANCE of this KFC. I already filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about the Taylor Street KFC. Hopefully I can get this solved. I waited over FOUR FUCKING HOURS and I still didn't get my food.

Don't let businesses get away with this shit. Stand up for yourself and fight for your rights as a consumer. Don't let the run around do you in. Don't let their "I'm sorry, here is a discount or free meal for next time" bullshit sucker you in. If they are in the wrong, they shouldn't be getting off Scott free like they didn't do anything wrong.

I JUST WANTED SOME FUCKING FOOD. IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD TO ASK FOR? A simple delivery to a place within walking distance and they couldn't even get that right. How FUCKING sad!
