So in 6 days my wife comes back from her friends wedding...
In 31 days the World Champion San Francisco Giants begin their title defense in LA vs the Dodgers...
In 34 days it's WrestleMania 27...
In 68 days, I move away from my 20's and into my first year of my 30's...
In 138 days, we will celebrate our church wedding..
A lot of things to look forward to, as I said my wife is actually in Nicaragua, she comes back soon. After I took her to the airport last week, I was able to go and spend the weekend with my Mom and Step Dad, I am going again next week. Taking advantage of some free time. In 31 days, it's opening day for my Giants! as I say every year (and yes including last year) they will win the World Series! I can't wait for baseball to start, it gives me something to watch on TV and I love watching baseball and I love my Giants! In 34 days, it's WWE's WrestleMania, an annual event that we get to sit back and watch the "gran-daddy of them all" having family and friends over for some pizza, wings and wrasslin'
In 68 days, I will be turning 30! I am actually looking forward to it. It's just another stepping stone in life and I get to share it with my wife, family and friends. I don't know yet what I am going to do to celebrate, I may just ask everyone to meet up for dinner or maybe the Giants game..Still have time to figure that out. and finally, in 138 my wife and I will be exchanging vows in the church before the eyes of God. Can't wait! It should and will be a blast. Plans are coming along and everything seems to be going great! A lot of things to look forward to...but I still take things one day at a time...Until next time....

Elimination Chamber
My nephew got me an early birthday gift, he got me a ticket to WWE's Elimination Chamber Pay Per View at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. We sat is "Club 200" with a good view of the action. This was my first WWE PPV, I had been to the SuperBrawl PPV put on by WCW many years ago. So, we knew that there were only going to be five matches, I had made my predictions the night before, I was pretty close, but here are my thoughts on the event.
Dark Match: United States Champion Daniel Bryan vs Ted Dibiase Jr with Maryse
Good standard opening match, I did not know it would be them in the dark match, but I tabbed Daniel to retain his title. Some good spots, although it seemed that Maryse was not interested in building heat with her character. But overall a good starting point to get the crowd going. Daniel Bryan retains the US title.
Lights go out, pyro comes on, music hits.. we have our first match..
Alberto Del Rio vs Kofi Kingston (IC Champion) non-title match..
Del Rio is over with heat. His announcer introduced him by saying "here comes a man who has more talent in his little finger, then those losers of the Oakland Raiders" which got good reaction from the crowd, we stood up and cheered. The match was good, a lot of near falls that got the crowd going, in the end like I predicted Del Rio won. the crowd was not too happy about that but hey, you already knew that.
Elimination Chamber for the World Heavyweight Championship..
Edge (champion) vs Drew McIntyre vs Kane vs Rey Misterio vs Wade Barret vs ????
I thought the mystery wrestler would be Christian, but it was the Big Show. Crazy spots in this chamber match, Rey Misterio put his body on the line, there were broken plexi glass and broken bodies everywhere. Favorite spot of the match was Misterio going head first into the turnbuckle area and then into the holding pod. The ending was good a spear in mid air. I predicted that Edge would retain and he did.The after math was Del Rio coming in and attacking Edge and then...Christian made the save; at least I got it right that he would be there. Edge spears Del Rio we move on.
Booker T comes out and introduces Trish Stratus as a trainer in Tough Enough.
Tag Team Title Match
Santino Marella and Vladimir Koslov (C) vs the Corre (Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel) with Ezekiel Jackson.
No one was into the match, except when Santino would be in. 450 Splash and 1-2-3 another correct prediction.
WWE Championship
The MIZ (C) vs Jerry "The King" Lawler
I thought that the King would win. It was a good match for them both. The King heavy with his thoughts about his Mother's recent passing, but knew the crowd was behind him. Chants of "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry" rang out through the crowd. But it was not in the cards as the MIZ hit the Skull Crushing Finale.
Vickie Guerrero comes out to beg for Dolph Zigler's job, you could barely hear her "excuse me" pleas. The crowd was not letting her talk. Teddy Long came out and reinstated Kelly Kelly, which lead to LayCool coming out and Trish coming in for the save and she did not hit her move, she was helped by the quick thinking Layla. Pretty much a waste segment.
#1 contender for WWE Championship Elimination Chamber
CM Punk vs Sheamus vs R-Truth vs John Morrison vs John Cena vs Randy Orton
This one was good, not as good as the first one. I picked John Morrison to win. He stole this match with his physical performance, but CM Punk was the MVP due to his heat. He got eliminated early but was reinstated by the RAW GM and it was great. They took numerous bumps and JOMO (John Morrison) climbed within the cage and dropped down on Sheamus. It was crazy, CM Punk looked like he got swiped by Wolverine. In the end, it was a let down to see JOMO eliminated, then SuperCena got the Attitude Adjustment on CM PUNK and it was over. John Cena goes to WrestleMania 27, another PPV with Cena fighting for the title.
Over all the show was a B-
I say that because I think that they should have taken time to elevate the newer talents into the spotlight. But as far as predictions go I got 5 out 7 things right. Technically I was right and wrong on Christian but still I knew he would be coming back. On now to the road to WrestleMania....

Rumble Thoughts
So January 30th, my nephew and I watched the Royal Rumble, presented by WWE. This was billed as the biggest rumble ever because it had 10 more participants then in previous years. The card for the show was only 4 matches. 3 title fights and the rumble itself. Here is a quick recap of what the rumble was this year...
First up was World Heavy Weight Champion Edge vs Dolph Zigler, I thought it was a bit odd to open up with this match, but they both put on a great show. Edge normally puts on a great performance for PPV's, but it's looking more now that Dolph will be a big player in the WWE in the years to come. The story they told between the two of them was great, it lead up to a predictable ending (except for Kelly Kelly coming out to attack vickie) Edge uses the spear; which has been barred and gets the victory.. overall match about a 3.5 out 5 stars.
Second was WWE champion The MIZ vs the Viper Randy Orton... Orton is well over with the crowd, the persona that he has of a loose cannon is a good fit for him. But sometimes I think he tries a bit much with the facial expressions and the crazy eyes. On the other side of the coin, The MIZ, he has stepped it up, he has good mic skills, wrestles really well and is hated by the crowd, I don't like him, but I give him credit for putting in the hard work. This match had great spots, near falls, interference from A-Rye. But I did not see this one coming, the new Nexus came out to distract Orton and the ref. Next thing you know CM Punk comes out from under the ring and bam... a GTS to Orton and pulls Miz on top of him for the 1-2-3..The ending did spoil the actual rumble for me, as I knew that neither Orton or Punk would win the rumble as they just set up their WrestleMania feud.
The 2 on1 match up between Divas Champion Natalia Niedhart vs team LayCool, turned into a fatal 4-way when the eventual winner Eve Torress was brought in. I have nothing against these ladies, but they do need to step up the excitement level in their wrestling. They need to perform some exciting moves and get the crowd into it, it can be done, look at the Knockouts division in TNA, they get good ratings (and have quite a few ex WWE Divas...Just saying)
Now the biggest rumble ever... I was happy to see that Alberto Del Rio won, but over all the rumble itself came off as not that exciting. The bit where the new Nexus was in the ring and eliminating everyone got old quick, then SuperCena came in and eliminated them all. But there were some great moments in the match, John Morrison's spiderman spot, Chavo's tribute to Eddie, Diesel and CAN YOU DIG IT?...SSSSSUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKAAA!!! the return of Booker T. Like I said it was an OK rumble, my only complaints would be:
1) Hornswoggle...what a waste of an entry
2)SuperCena eliminating new Nexus
3)Morrison, Punk, Booker T, Diesel and Orton eliminated too early.
Over all I would give this years rumble a C+/B-....Let's see where they go with the Elimination Chamber...

King of Pop
It's 11:43 pm on a Friday night, and I have decided to watch some of the first disc of Michael Jackson's Vision DVD set. Right now as I write Michael is beginning to sing 'Thriller', the memories that this brings to me are so much fun and really bring a smile to my face. I can't help but get a little emotional that MJ is gone. Although I never met the man, I feel a closeness to him that I don't know if I can truly make anyone understand.
Michael Jackson IS the soundtrack to my life, all it took was Thriller to get me hooked. Growing up my Mom would play the making of Thriller for me and I would stick to the television and watch it over and over again. I was and still am a big fan. I love all of his music, his dance moves, his videos, everything. Hold on a moment, he is about to do the zombie Thriller dance...
Ok, I'm back. So what does MJ mean to me, MJ brings me back to a much simpler time, a time where I was a kid growing up with my family, we were all still together. MJ signifies for me family unity, a time where we all enjoyed our company and we were close. His music takes me back to when I was younger, carefree and innocent and his dance moves; which I have tried to imitate numerous times still amaze me.
I remember the day that MJ passed away, I was waiting to get my hair cut at a barber shop and my friend Arnel called me to tell me that he was dead. It was unreal, I heard what he said, but I didn't want to comprehend it. I got my hair cut, listened to the barber (Sam) speak his opinions on him, but I was tuning him out. I didn't want to hear anything he or anyone had to say about MJ, I just wanted to remember him the way I did.
On the ride home, I remember listening to Billie Jean on the stereo, the part where he says "Mother always told me, be careful what you do, don't go around breakin' young girls hearts" I lost it. I cried a bit, because he was gone. I couldn't and didn't want to believe it. But I felt that MJ was closer to me at this point. There was something different about his music now, like it had a new life, I think his soul got interjected with his music and that he now lives deep within it. I remember getting home and now all of a sudden he was called by his name, Michael Jackson, not 'wacko Jacko' and all of these other hurtful things and it made me so upset that I refused to watch any television coverage.
I sat down and watched his videos, remembering the times that he had and remembering him having fun. It's funny, I mentioned before that my Mom would put on the making of Thriller and I would not move, now I play the video for my two nephews and they get stuck on it. It's been about a year and a half now since MJ passed and I still can't believe it.
When I heard about the Michael Jackson experience game was going to come out, I went out and I reserved it, I knew that I would love the game, just to be able to dance along with MJ, to his music and with friends and family, I knew it would be the greatest game ever. My niece and nephews love the game and we do play it, bringing MJ back to life by hearing his music and attempting to dance like him.
I still sometimes get sad when I think of MJ, all of the things he had to go through, the allegations, the tabloids, no privacy. That's why I still love to hear him, watch him and think of him. MJ passed away the day before I got married, I am still in shock over that. I never got a chance to see him dance and sing in person, I be if I did, it would have been everything I hoped it would be.
If I had a chance to speak to him, I would thank him for everything, the dancing, the music, the videos, all of the memories he gave me, I would ask him to teach me how to Moonwalk and I would tell him how much he means to me and that he was and is the soundtrack of my life. I will never get that chance, but somehow I know when I play his songs and sing along, that MJ is here with me and all of his fans and that somehow he knows how much he means to me.
Michael taught me that it doesn't matter if you're Black or White, he taught me how to be Bad, he made look at the Man in the Mirror, attempt to Heal the World and to take a moment to Remember the Time and how to be a Thriller. Michael gave me so many memories and I can't wait to share these great videos with my children and expose them to the greatest artist of all time.
Rest In Peace Michael Jackson... The one and only King Of Pop... Thank you for everything. Much Love, you will always live on in my heart, your videos and in your music.....

Taurus...and my name is...wait..WTF?
So the other day I read in the news that there is a new astrological sign and that the signs that we thought were ours, may no longer be ours...This obviously causes a problem for many (myself included) because of tattoos that we have that represent the sign that we are used to, which would not be good. I also read that some folks are so distraught that they feel the need to remove their tattoos and put on their new sign... I don't know about that. To me it doesn't matter what they say about this 13th sign "Ophiuchus" being included, it is not going to change who you are or how you act. For instance my sign would change from "Taurus" (introverted sign) to "Aries" (extroverted sign). It doesn't mean that now I will be going out all the time and socializing every minute that I can... It's just not me. There are qualities and characteristics of a "Taurus" that I showcase and I am sure that other people feel the same with their signs. But as always in life, people will do what makes them happy and offers them a sense of security. My final thoughts on this is that we use the Tropical (western) Zodiac calendar, the one they are talking about seems to be on the Sidereal (Hindu) Zodiac calendar. I am a Taurus and I will always be a Taurus, next thing you know they are going to say that Pluto is no longer a planet, and say it's a Kuiper belt object...wait Pluto is not a planet...WTF?
On a side note, I can't wait to have the conversation with my children and Grandchildren when I tell them, when I was young we had 12 Zodiac signs and 9 Planets....what will they try to change next....
In case if you were curious here are the dates and signs....

You're either Nexus...or against us
A special treat tonight.. 2 blogs, yes I said 2 blogs in one day!!! So I wanted to talk about what I saw last night on Monday Night Raw. Specifically the angle of the new Nexus with it's current leader CM Punk. So a quick history of Nexus, Wade Barrett was the original leader of this faction. With Barrett as leader he would try to make the rest of the Nexus members prove themselves in order to be in the group. Eventually the remaining members were Barrett, David Otunga, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Husky Harries and Michael McGillicutty. So after the TLC PPV when Super CENA dropped 15 chairs on top of Barrett, CM Punk stepped in to become the leader. Last week, CM Punk made a deal with Barrett that if he lost his match, he would be out of Nexus... Surprise, surprise, he lost. Cut to this week....
So CM Punk was in the ring and told the remaining members that they would have to prove themselves to be part of the new Nexus (which has awesome shirts by the way). First up was McGillicutty, and basically he was jumped into the group. He took an old school beat down, just like the good 'ol days. After that Harris took a whoopin' from 4 guys, the beat him like a government mule. Otunga had to slap Big Show and take the beating, which he did. Then cut to Gabriel and Slater who were supposed to beat each other with Ken do Sticks, but they hesitated and walked away. Towards the end of the show, CM Punk was on the Titan Tron and was acting like if he was going to jump off... of course he didn't..He then cut a promo on how he thought the crowd was 'stupid' for thinking he would do it, it was a great promo to gain more heat..now next week, CM Punk will face SuperCena...
Finally after a long time the WWE has a promising angle. CM Punk has stepped up to be the best performer they have (only because Chris Jericho is not currently there) He has great mic skills ans great wrestling skills. He was great as part of the Straight Edge Society and has that heel factor that the WWE needs now. The best thing they could do is have CM Punk and the Nexus beat SuperCena to kingdom come and them continue doing it... but knowing how the WWE is, SuperCena will probably beat them all and send them to the hospital.
I am actually looking forward to see where the WWE goes with this angle. If worked properly they could get as much heat as the NwO. I don't think it will reach that status but I think they have something here that could go on to be huge. So, let's see what happens next Monday night on RAW.

Eddie Checked in at: His Blog
Here is a not so recent, but increasing trend... "Checking in" it's a little application on your phone or whatever mobile device you have that tells everyone where you are... Thank goodness because everyone was worried about your current location. They should not call it "Checking in" they should rename it "Stalkers assistant". What ever happened to just going somewhere and then running into someone and saying "Hey I didn't know you were here"? now, it's "I checked in here, with so and so, and blah blah blah" and the response is "Hey, I saw you checked in here an hour ago" What does "checking in" prove? it proves you are not at home, an open invitation to those who want to do you harm. I guess soon people will "check in" when they use the restroom, pass gas, or even have sex!! What ever happened to your own privacy?
The funny thing is, that the people who use these "check in" applications are normally the ones who complain about people being "all up in their business" and how people are "nosey"... Guess what? you open up the door to that house, no one to blame but yourself. On the other side of the coin, if you are going to be "checking in", why not do it all the time? when you enter a room, take a shower, get the mail, tie your shoes, etc. I guess I maybe old fashioned in the sense that I don't want people to know where I am at and honestly I really do not think they even care where I am. Got to go now, have to "check in" to my location, so the world can breathe a little better now that they know where I am....
