The Wrestler

So I finally watched "The Wrestler" tonight. I liked it, for the most part. Yes, there were times that I felt ashamed to be a fan. Not of the content, but literally being a fan. Like always asking for more and more. But at the same time, we recognize when it's time to call it. There are wrestlers today who if they retired right now, the fans would understand. My ONLY complaint about the movie is if non-wrestling fans watch it, which I hope they do, they might think that that's what it's really like. However, the movie is more about the person, not the business. Even though it touches on the business. It's kind of like a football player who is down on his luck. Yet, you wouldn't criticize football, you would look at the player. I hope that people who watch this movie do the same.

I do have to say, I saw the trailer for "Slumdog Millionaire" and I am now interested in seeing that. Especially with all the hype.

My sister is thinking of getting new tattoos. She wants me to join her, so I probably will. Depending on what Jme wants to get. But I think with both wanting to do something, it looks like my goal of getting one before the end of the summer will come through.

The Broncos drafted Knowson Moreno (I hope that was spelled right). I was very happy about it. I would have rather had a quarterback, but I will take this beast of a running back. Let's just hope he's not a bust.

Last thing, I am a guy who loves covers. And Seether's cover of Wham's Secret Whisper is awesome.

Random lyric of the day:

I said that I've got friends in all the right places
I know what they want
and I know they don't want me to stay.

Like a referee with a whistle

So let's get the sports stuff out of the way. Jay Cutler was traded from the Broncos to the Bears today. I was sad to see him go, I will admit, but more sad because of the quarterback we got for him, Kyle Orton. (I really hope I look back on this a year from now with Kyle Orton being my new favorite player). We also get a first round pick plus some others in this year's draft. (Fingers are now crossed for somehow getting Mark Sanchez from USC). Now, I am REALLY interested in the draft. It was a tradition for a while to watch it at Kelly's, but somehow that has faltered.

On to more serious news, my sister and brother-in-law will in fact, not be coming this weekend. Everything was working out and then a personal conflict came in to keep them from coming. I wish them the best in the upcoming week and take it as a sign for me to start studying this weekend for my test on Thursday. Will I? Honestly, with Fast and Furious and Wrestlemania this weekend, plus the fact that we still have Resident Evil 5, probably not. But I will try.

*UPDATE: I made a 79 on that psych test I have been talking about. Instead of saying I made a C, I like to frame it as I was one point away from a B. Which I am happy about :)

Speaking of RE5, I really like this game. I like how we are pacing ourselves too. Definitely worth the almost 12 dollars it is costing to rent it this long.

I am listening to pandora for the first time in probably a month. The station I am currently listening to has Minus the Bear and Death Cab for Cutie. I recommend it.

I think I am about to start "searching" for people with the same favorites as me. So be warned: If you put down Taking Back Sunday as your favorite music, chances are you are getting a good looking at.

Here is some good news: My true BFF (Best Female Friend) should be here next weekend. It would be nice to spend more than 20 minutes at a time with her (which is usually my fault).

I am 70% sure I am going to UPC's "High Rollin on the Plains" tomorrow. Hopefully it will be fun...

Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know.
