"Weeeesa gonna dieeeraaaaaaagggggggggggggggghhhhhh!!"

Take away my pain, I'm not frightened anymore

Well, I haven't updated in over a week. That's not like me at all. Sorry 'bout that, I just haven't really had the desire to say anything as of late. So I guess I'll treat (yeah, treat. ok, man) you guys to a little mini-review to one of my most anticipated games of early '05, Wrestlemania 21 for the XBox.

I played it for about an hour last night and maybe it was just me, but the game moved slower than molasses. Even slow for No Mercy Standards. And the grapples, while awesomely done, felt so tedious to the point where they weren't even really that fun.

Graphically, the game looks amazing and the gaming presentation is really well done. Watching the cinematics of career mode almost makes it feel like your watching it on TV.

I could forgive the slowness of the wrestling if the game wasn's so damn buggy. I wrestled one match last night, Eddie Guerrero (me) vs Edge. I ran towards Edge and went to hit him with a flying forearm but I GOT STUCK IN EDGE for like 3 seconds, then I hit the mat. And Rene Dupree once hiptossed me from about 3 feet away. And the pausing and the stuttering during transitions from gameplay to loading menus and such reeeeally get on your nerves. Just very, very sloppy.

And the Create-A-Wrestler is ok at best. Not too deep, and you have to friggin' unlock just about EVERYTHING. Also, you better make sure you have your wrestler's look and body style and face and everything just right, cause once you finish it, you CAN'T GO BACK AND EDIT IT. That really pissed me off. You can change the clothes and moves and stuff, but no body details, which suuucks.

Overall, I'd give it about a 6.5, only because the game looks so damn good. Aside from that, don't waste your money. I'm glad I paid for mine with tradeins, otherwise I'd be pretty pissed. Barring any miracle, next time I go to Gamestop (probably when I pick up Revenge of the Sith) it's gonna be a nice 'lil $30 tradein for me.

You should all go out and buy God of War, anyway. Outfrigginstanding, that game.

Come crawling faster, obey your master

Well, my eBay Auction ended about 15 minutes ago. I was kinda worried because it had been dormant for the past few days. It hadn't moved for the past 5 days, but I was sure things were gonna pick up today. Boy was I ever right.

Eleven bids today, alone. Including three bids in the last SIX SECONDS. I got sniped. Big time. But I don't care. Why you ask? Because the final total came to...

ONE HUNDRED NINE DOLLARS AND FORTY NINE CENTS.

I am so geeked right now. It was steady at $75 in the last two minutes. I was content with that total, because that was my original goal. I was chatting with some friends in Eternachat when I refreshed it for the last time. I was quite suprised. The first words out of my mouth was "HOLY SHIT." I never expected it to get that high, but I'm sure glad it did.

I'm most likely gonna take this money and put it towards my PSP which is currently sitting in Layaway at Wal-Mart.

I'M GEEKED, BITCH. *dances*

My Country Tis of Me

Here's one for the Always Low Prices crew:

(16:11:03) DrHoganstein: this is sooooooooo funny
(16:11:06) DrHoganstein: Demp will love this
(16:11:07) DrHoganstein: so:
(16:11:11) DrHoganstein: Our insane babysitter hates Wal-Mart.
(16:11:22) DrHoganstein: Mrs. Hogie goes to pick up Anna at said insane babysitter.
(16:11:35) DrHoganstein: After a bit of chit-chat, Mrs. Hogie says to Anna "Anna, are you ready to go to Wal-Mart?"
(16:12:05) DrHoganstein: At this point, the insane sitter's 4 year old daughter looks horrified, runs to her mother, and says "Mommy, she's taking her to WAL-MART!" (inflection of Wal-Mart = EVIL)
(16:12:14) DrHoganstein: The sitter looks mortified and proceeds to attempt to change the subject
(16:12:30) El Hijo del Demp: hahahaha
(16:12:31) DrHoganstein: After a few more seconds of talking, Mrs. Hogie again looks at Anna and says "Well Anna, it's time to go to Wal-Mart."
(16:12:45) El Hijo del Demp: Kids know, man. Kids know.
(16:12:46) DrHoganstein: At this point, the 4 year old daughter RUNS to Mrs. Hogie and proceeds to tug on Mrs. Hogie's shirt
(16:12:49) DrHoganstein: and tells her:
(16:13:01) DrHoganstein: "Mrs. Hogie, you can't take Anna to Wal-Mart! It's a really BAD place!"
(16:13:11) DrHoganstein: At this point, my wife cracks a smile and tells her:
(16:13:15) El Hijo del Demp: teh ROFL
(16:13:33) DrHoganstein: "[Child], not everyone thinks Wal-Mart is a bad place. Some people do think Wal-Mart is a bad place. I do not. Anna's not going to get hurt there. She'll be fine."
(16:13:41) DrHoganstein: "Anna always has fun at Wal-Mart."
(16:14:07) DrHoganstein: I wish I had been there for that.
(16:14:56) El Hijo del Demp: You should have gotten her to say "And Mr, Hogie has a friend who works at Wal-Mart."
(16:15:02) El Hijo del Demp: "And if you badmouth his work one more time, he'll come to your house and kill your parents in their sleep."
(16:15:04) DrHoganstein: ROFL
(16:15:11) DrHoganstein: I'll be sure to add that in the next time.

There, is that excited enough for ya? Now what are you waiting for? BID!

I'm the one without a soul, I'm the one with this big fucking hole

Well, I got the new phone yesterday. I ended up with a Motorola V262. So far, it's not bad at all. Pretty sturdy, gets good reception. Hopefully this'll last.



I watched Sideways tonight and man, what a great movie. I'm not sure how it stands up against the other Best Picture Nominees, cause I haven't seen any of them yet, but Sideways was damn good. And I said it last year when he was robbed of an Acting nomination for American Splendor, but Paul Giamatti was soooooo robbed this year. It's not even funny. Maybe, just maybe, one day one of my favorite actors will get his due.

Also, hello to all of you guys and gals getting here from AlwaysLowPrices.net. Thanks to the ALP guys for noticing my lil' 'ole space on the web. It was really cool of you all. And for that, I'm gonna continue to fight the good fight for you guys against The Evil.

I may find a way to integrate your quote "Chris Dempsey works a lot at Wal-Mart." somewhere on the page. It's damn funny and also damn true. And just a tad bit sad. =(

And yes, I do work a lot at Wal*Mart. But I make up for it by being late every day =)

Despite his rugged, masculine looks; Vin Diesel is actually a woman.

Well, Wrestlemania was pretty good tonight. There were some really good matches, a really GREAT match, and a couple shitty matches. HBK/Angle was probably the best thing I've seen from the WWE in a LOOOOONG time. Such a great match.

Batista beat Triple H to win the World Heavyweight Title and in the dumbest move of the night John Cena beat JBL to win the WWE Title in about 5 minutes. Seriously. It was so bad and it made no sense. I really wanted to see JBL keep the title. The long reign was starting to rule a good bit.

But then again I've never been in the ring and I dont know shit about "the business" eh Gene?

And here's your Consumer Warning of the Day. If you're looking for a new Cellphone, do NOT get the LG AX4750. It is an unadulterated piece of SHIT.



Sure, it looks nice. Real nice. But it's truth the old saying "You can't polish shit." I got this on Tuesday and it's been nothing but trouble. The reception is horrid EVERYWHERE I go, Dropped Calls galore, horrible battery life, "can you hear me now?" "No, not a*kshhhhhhhhhhhh*t all."

I've made maybe 3 successful calls since I got it, so back to the store it goes. Thing is, Aaron's got an LG phone and it works like a charm. I guess this is what I get for getting a brand new model that no one around here has any experiance with yet. Oh well. We'll see what the new phone is like tomorrow.

They say life is too short, the here and the now

Rebuttal to Gene Jackson coming up, but first something way more important than this Internet Wrestling Bullshit.

Rest In Peace, Mitch Hedberg. I didn't believe it either, but it's true. One of my favorite comedians passed away on Wednesday. Nothing I can really say can convey feelings, so I'll let these touching words from another favorite of mine, Doug Stanhope do the talking:

Mitch Hedberg died on Wednesday.

I don't know how. It doesn't matter.

Andy Andrist does a bit about how people will always try to blame you for your death. Andy says he wants to be mauled to death by a bear so no one will say it's his own fault.

Mitch wasn't mauled by a bear. But it doesn't matter.

Nobody has asked me how Mitch lived. And Mitch lived like a motherfucker. More than most any of us will live. That isn't sad or tragic.
Mitch and Stanhope performing together at Univ. of Maryland, March 15, 2005
March 15, 2005 - Mitch & Doug performed together at the U of M

Mitch was the kind of comic that was funny even when nobody was looking. It wasn't just for the stage, the ego or the random congratulations. He was funny when he was alone.

And now the deluge of people who will try to fault him for his demise, as though if he'd spent his days on a treadmill, logging his mileage for tax purposes and avoiding red meat he would have been the same comic that you all loved. Everything Mitch did made Mitch who he was. I loved Mitch for all of it.

I don't know how Mitch died. I know how Mitch lived and he lived brilliantly and by his own rules. The number of years next to his name is trivia. The contents of those years is inspiration.

For a blog post of some of my favorite Mitch quotes, here you go

So now, on to "THE BAH GAWD WAR MACHINE" Gene Jackson.

He apparently decided to respond to my "Anti-Wrestling" blog post in his column over at HollywoodJimmy.com. So in typical "Me Fashion" I shall respond to his responses. I just C&Ped his entry here because I don't feel like giving out hits. This column in italics, my comments in bold.

DEMP TURNS HEEL!

(Check this out from Demp's Blog, I will post what he wrote and then add my 2 cents in parenthisis as we go along)

Hell, I'm just so fed up and aggrivated with the local wrestling scene it's not even funny. I guess I'm just spoiled with the Ring of Honors and the IWA-MSs and the Chikara Pros and the other REAL Indy Feds. Sure there's a few good ones sprinkled about here and there, but for the most part... yeeeeesh. These down here are like comparing Hollywood Jimmy's Board to the Rest of the Internet.

(You realize your are slapping your buddy J.D. and all the indy wrestlers who have been nice and accepting of you right in the face by making that statement)

No, those have been what we call "Genuinely Nice People." People who talk to you like you're a person and their friend and not some enemy at the gates type wannabe of their Secret Club. The rest of them, well...

And don't get me started on that lost cause. I've tried and I've tried, but no more. I'm done. It's such a terrible place. It's the Wrestling equivalent of Tard Blog. (I'll give him that, there is a lot of stupid s*** that gets posted on that board) A little birdie(named J.D.) told me the other day that the people in Okolona, MS were asking about me at a local show(You should be glad anyone gives a s***)

Should I really?

He told them about my disdain for the board and you'll have no idea what these douchebags had to say.(First off, I was one of the people who asked, so I guess I'm one of the 'douchebags'.......Secondly don't flatter yourself, the exact quote was, "Hey J.D., Where's your little ring rat Demp at?")

I guess not. Again, Enemy at the Gates. Real "accepting" there, huh.

"Well, if he can't take the heat, stay out of the business."

...

ahahahahahahahahahahaha.

You tell me what A INTERNET GUESTBOOK, not message board, GUESTBOOK has to do with "the business?" (I don't think anyone was refferring to the Tatoos and nameless bitches that won't post there names, they annoy everybody, it was in reference to people like Death Wish and so forth)"oh noes people are talking about me I better run!" Jesus. Trust me, it's not them talking shit about me, cause I can handle that. I do, y'know, have a sense of humor, it's the f**king MORONS that populate it. I swear, it's like everyone on there has the intelligence of a 12 year old. Disagree with someone? "omg ur gay"(Believe me we all have "disdain" for these jackasses that post that lame crap)

Say you don't like something or you didn't think it was very good? "LOOK YOU GET IN THE RING AND DO BETTER CAUSE I DON'T THINK YOU CAN YOU'RE NOT A WRESTLER YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT US WE'RE WRESTLERS (Everything past here is an exaggeration)THE ELITE OF THE ELITE AND CANNOT BE TOUCHED RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Nah, I really don't think that's an exaggeration.

(Do you blame them? Every smartass teenager with a keyboard now wants to be freakin Scott Keith and "be cool" and trash everybodies "work" when they have no f***** clue what "working" is.

First off, Scott Keith was and never will be "cool." Second, how can you judge the quality of an album when you've never recorded one? How can you judge the quality of a motion picture when you've never directed or starred in one? You can't. This is the exact same thing. It all comes down to personal preference and opinion. I very, VERY rarely hear actors or musicians complain when someone says "Oh that movie or CD sucked big time." Oddly enough, wrestlers do it all the time. "HOW DARE YOU CRITIZE ME! I'M A WRESTLER, DAMMIT!!" And the last time I checked, wrestler also equals entertainer. So if there's a CD I don't like or a movie I don't like, I'm gonna call a spade a spade. Which INCLUDES wrestlers. Hey guess what, I don't like Hardcore Holly, but he's not gonna jump my shit because I think he sucks. He's a professional. Look into that someday.


Yeah that's very frustrating to go out there and work and try to entertain people and to come back and read where some asshole whose only time he's been in the ring is to get a $5 Polaroid with Kevin Nash is insulting your work and trying to talk like he knows the business.


I do belive almost 20 years of wrestling fandom grants me some bit of knowledge of what I Do and Do Not Like.


Now everyone knows I'm not the President of the Lord Hugo fan club but I don't blame him for taking offense to the s*** you said about him after those DCW shows. You go online and shred his ring work and try to talk like your smart to the business and you could do it better, and then when he emailed you and confronted you, you play, "Oh Im just a poor little mark kid and the big bad wrestler wants to kick my ass, how pathetic." Well what the hell was he supposed to do? If you just said, you didn't enjoy something and left it at that, then maybe that would be different, but you try to come off like some smark and try to make these guys look stupid.

See, this is what's boggled me for the longest time. Show me where I said I could do better in the ring. Really, go ahead. I'll be right here waiting.


Ok, found it? No? Probably that's because IT WAS NEVER SAID. It was something that Hugo blew way out of proportion. Even in our emails back and forth (to which he never actually responded to them, by the way) I stated over and over that it was not an attack on his person, but just my opinion and personal preference.


That's what is meant by 'if you can't take the heat, stay outta the business', so you know.)



And worked angles on the Internet for a promotion in MISSISSIPPI is about the dumbest thing ever. What, 3 people in MS use the Internet? Internet works and angles are pathetic, because net fans could care less about any of that. Try entertaining the paying fans rather than the 3 or so who use the Internet. But on the Internet you can be an anonymous jackass and get away with it!

(If you feel so strongly about that, why don't you talk to your buddy J.D. about it, he's one of the most infamous for doing it, and if you were referring to Death Wish and I working our angle over the boards, then what do you want us to do? No there aren't that many marks reading the board but there are some{your proof} and for those few that do read it you might as well keep a little kayfabe in this dying business. But hey you know best, how dare I tell you anything? You read the internet, you watch ROH, you've ridden to shows with the "Outlaw" and had dinner with John Saxon, you would know better than I what is appropriate and not appropriate in the "business.")

Yeah, ROH. An actual wrestling promotion. And me riding with the "Outlaw" and having dinner with people? Yes, cause god forbid I have contact with people who just so happen to be wrestlers out of character and acting like... *gasp* NORMAL PEOPLE. Whodathunkit? Having dinner with Bruce Willis? I'm not having dinner with John McLane from Die Hard or Butch from Pulp Fiction. I'm having dinner with Bruce Willis. Human Being. So before you start throwing that shit in my face, take into consideration this. When I'm a fan, feel free to treat me like shit on a stick, but me away from the ringside area is none of your fucking concern.


I bet you dollars to donuts that I'm gonna get soooo much "heat" for this little entry,(Don't kid yourself, what your getting isn't "heat", there is no "heat" left in this business. "Heat" is what guys had back in the Mid South days, back when people believed in the business, when guys were getting shot at and cut. Pissing people off and getting heat are two different things and that's something it took me a LONG time to learn and I'll pass that on to you for free)

Gee, thanks.

but I could fill up my cares in a f***ing thimble. The ones who agree are the smart ones who know what's going on,(Yeah the "SMART" ones who have READ all about it and "KNOW" what's going on. You bet man) and those who don't? Well, the less said the better. (Your probably right, cause I'm one of those who don't and I'd love to see you call me a "douchebag" to my face)The old saying goes "Everyone has an opinion." Mine's just right. (Well everyone does have an opinion, your entitled to yours and I'm entitled to mine. But I think the saying is "Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one" just not everyone gives there's up to J.D. McKay.

See, now was that really called for? I was totally with you up until this.

I look forward to hearing your response, and don't give me some bullshit about working anybody, you said what you wanted to say so show some balls and stand behind it

I have, and ALWAYS WILL stand by my word. No ifs, ands, or buts.


and if not then shut your f****** mouth.

Nah, don't think so.

Before you piss off the wrong "douchebag". In the words of New Jack, "F*** you and your punk ass blog b*****!)

Well, that just hurt my blog's feelings and you need to apologize to it right now.

So yeah, that's that. I know this is probably pointless, but yeah...

Fuck You Right Back, Gene Jackson.

How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me?

So, I'm sitting here watching RAW waiting for the big Triple H/DAVE confrontation, and who do I see as one of Eric Bischoff's police bodyguards?

None other than JOHN SAXON. The man who I saw team with Kevin Nash in Tupelo, the man Doug and I had dinner with (along with many others that night) after a DCW show, the man who along with Kevin Northcutt, Salvatore Rinauro and Skeeter Frost had the greatest match I've ever seen live, and the Current NWA-MS Heavyweight Champion. Very cool. Good to see him hopefully on to bigger and better things. Add this to Jamie Jay having a Dark Match at the Smackdown tapings last week and it's really good to see local wrestlers finally get some recognition that they deserve.

Man, the mail was awesome today. I got my Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance CD that I won from eBay and my ROH Final Battle 2003 DVD. And I just ordered that DVD on Friday night. Man, that Sapolsky is FAST. Add that to the fact that I picked up Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour for $20 new and it's been a good day.

Anyway, less yackin' more... eh I won't finish that.

The electric burns that fuel the fire, It's just your suicide messiah

Hmm, I don't seem to be updating as much lately. Oh well.

This weekend was pretty much a really quiet one. It also went waaaaayyyy too fast. It's gonna be another 7 days (6 days if everything goes right) before I get another day off. Damn Wal-Mart :(

Saturday was pretty much "Watch all of The Office DVDs that I got." Which I did. It was good watching the entire run again. Such a great show. I also helped the folks out around the outside of the house with some yardwork. Fun, I guess if you like that sort of thing.

Today I didn't think it was possible, but I did EVEN LESS than I did on Saturday. Played video games and ripped the audio from some Dream Theater DVDs I have was really about it. Yeah, exciting I know.

Wrestlemania is next Sunday and to be honest with you, I'm not that really excited for it as I normally would be. I'm only really excited for Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels and Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero. Oddly enough, both matches that probably would have been 5 Stars if each man would have been in their prime. I'm just not into wrestling as much period as I used to. I don't know if it's the state and quality of wrestling these days or just the oversaturation of all the live shows I've been to and all this "internet notoriety" bullshit and what have you.

Hell, I'm just so fed up and aggrivated with the local wrestling scene it's not even funny. I guess I'm just spoiled with the Ring of Honors and the IWA-MSs and the Chikara Pros and the other REAL Indy Feds. Sure there's a few good ones sprinkled about here and there, but for the most part... yeeeeesh. These down here are like comparing Hollywood Jimmy's Board to the Rest of the Internet.

You got a killer scene there, man

Hmm, it feels like I haven't posted something on here in FOREVER, even though I just did last Thursday. Huh, must be all the work.

I finally get some time off after 7 straight days. Which is seemingly par for the course in Wallyworld these days. Especially so close to Inventory, which is the 1st of April. I guess you can say that this year, Inventory is a big 'ole Joke. Which if, you know our backroom/recieving area, you're probably laughing your ass off right now cause it's so true.

But it's cool cause I get Wednesday and Thursday off, then I work on Friday, then I get Saturday and Sunday off. It's kinda like a mini-vacation! Weeeee!

You should all go pick up the new Queens of the Stone Age album "Lullabies to Paralyze" like, yesterday. It's so good. You'd think it would really suck without Nick Oliveri and Mark Lanegan, right? WRONG. It's Josh Homme, bringing it with his new guys hardcore style. It's so awesome.

Aside from that, not much is really going on. I'm in preliminary talks about what I'm gonna do for my Vacation in Mid-July. I'm considering going to Chicago for a couple days because my Uncle Randy lives there, and it'd be nice to spend some time with him. And other things, of course. (HI KEN)

I've been watching way too much TV lately since I got my DTV back, but I'm not really complaining one bit. I've found myself watching a TON of Discovery Channel. Mostly stuff like Mythbusters, which fucking RULES, and American Chopper, which fucking RULES EVEN MORE.

This Thursday is the premier of NBC's bastardization of The Office. Y'know, I'll give it a shot, but I've heard soooooo many bad things about it. I'm really gonna hate to see them destroy the good name of one of my favorite TV shows of all time. I'm a big Steve Carell fan, too, but I doubt even he can save this.

Eh, I guess that's all for now. IT'S A TIDAL WAVE OF RANDOM THOUGHTS, FOLKS.

Will Arnett is my Hero

In a GREAT interview over at Television Without Pity Arrested Development Castmember Will Arnett had this to say about everyone's favorite Dick Sucking, No Talent, Worthless Waste of Space, Paris Hilton:

WC: Since you might have met her at some Fox event or other, I have to ask: how have you been personally affected by the hacking of Paris Hilton's Sidekick?

WA: I feel like it's inundated The Drudge Report so that it makes it harder for me to read other things on The Drudge Report. God, I couldn't care less.

WC: We made a shirt. So we're profiting off her misery.

WA: That's good. That's pretty good. And it's great to profit off her. But she is such a talentless non-entity that I just couldn't care less what she does. It's absolutely absurd that people spend any time talking about her.

WC: You kind of can't believe it.

WA: It's shocking to me. I hate myself for knowing her name.

Ah, GOB. You are a shining beacon of truth.

EVERYONE WATCH ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, DAMMIT.

Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'

Y'know, I don't mean to go on a rant here (Hi Dennis Miller) but there's this trendy trend in the youth of today that I believe is the dumbest, most asinine thing on the face of the planet.

Fucking John Deere Clothing.

Answer me this. WHY? I can see your random farmer wearing this sort of stuff to, y'know, actually farm in. But I see preppy fucks wearing omg pink John Deere logo shirts and John Deere Trucker Hats (I hate trucker hats with a passion, but that's another rant for another time). Who decided this was a good idea? People who have never seen a John Deere Tractor much less ever ran one are wearing these overpriced for no reason pieces of shit clothes because "everyone else is wearing them, so I gotta so I can be cool! YAY!" Fuck that, man. Be original for once.

And it's not like it's one or two isolated incidents. I work at Wal-Mart for God's sake. I see about a thousand of these a day.

I swear one of these days I'm gonna create the dumbest, most insulting logo ever created. But since the trendy fucks who wear it don't know what it is, as long as it looks cool what's the harm, right? It'll be so insidious in it's hilarity.

It reminds me of this story I once heard about this guy who was walking down the street and he saw this girl who had on a Rolling Stones Lips Logo t-shirt. He asked her, "So you like the Rolling Stones, huh?" She just looked at him with this blank stare and told him...

"Who?"

Finally found my life, I'm finally free

Can't wait. Not one bit. Although I'm not too crazy about some of the song titles, I'm sure it won't disappoint. And there has been rumors of a DT/Megadeth tour, so if that happens I damn well better be within 4 hours of one, cause I'm THERE.
