WWE is coming to K-town!

OK. Several weeks ago they announced that WWE Raw Live is coming to Kingston on August 13. Tickets went on sale July 16 at noon. Now I enjoy WWE but not enough to spend the night waiting in line fro front row ticktes.

So I got up at 7 am Saturday morning and the 3 of us walked down to the tickect office. I wasn't sure how big a line there would bem but figured we'd still get decent seats. When we arrived there were probably 50 or so people that had camped out. Now it was just a matter of waiting in line for the next 4 hours...with a 5 year old...in the sun...on a street corner....
Actually it wasn't that bad. Logan adopted a 17 year old girl as his new friend and he kept everyone entertained.

Finally noon arrived! The doords opened and the line started to move sloooowly...They were only allowing 2 people in at a time to buy tickets. 12:30 we can now see the door! And we can also see that some of the buskers are setting up. Logan and I peeled away from the line and watched the show while Carrie got the tickets.
Our seats are in section 19, row g seats 1 & 2. What that means is row 10, on the wrestlers entry to the ring. So I should have some pics to put up around the middle of August.

I know what you're all asking: Who's coming?

The card, of course, is subject to change, but:
3 different title matches!
****MAIN EVENT for the WWE Title****

John Cena vs. Chris Jerico


****Intercontental Title Match****

Shelton Benjamin vs. Carlito


****WWE Tag Team Title Match****

The Huricane & Rosey vs. Tyson Tomko & Gene Snitsky


The Big Show vs. Edge (w/ Lita)



PLUS

Kurt Angle

Christy Hemme

Vivera

Val Venis

& many, many more!


The only downside is it's most likely NOT to be televised. Which means you all won't be able to see my pretty face!

If there are any changes I'll be sure to post them!

Ghostly visit..

So, last night I crawl into bed just before midnight. I close the bedroom door becasue Carrie's playing on the computer. I KNOW I heard the door click shut.

At about 12:05 am I heard the door open. I figured it was Carrie either going to ask me a question or just being a goofball. But she wasn't there, she was having a smoke.

My next thought was that it was Logan, sneaking out of his room while mom was having a smoke, but he was still asleep in bed.

She's been feeling ill for the last several days and went to lay down this morning and dozed off. When she woke up she told me that last night she felt someon touch her hand shortly after the bedroom door opened and she had dreamed of her grandmother.

Years ago Carrie watched her grandmother die and was to upset to go to the funeral. She felt bad about it. It didn't help that her mother told her everyone was going to hate carrie for not going.

In her dream she visited the grave site and found a doll that looked exactly like her grandmother. When Carrie asked to keep it, not only did the graveyard staff say yes, she heard her grandmother say, "keep it. It's yours."

It took a while, but her grandmother finally said it was okay for Carrie not to have been at the funeral.

They all laugh at me.

Over the last wek or two I've gotten hooked on Starpoker.com's No Limit texas Hold Em poker. It's all for play money, thank god. So far my best game was a bluff for a $15,000 pot. I won on a pair of 2s.

Yesterday Carrie asked me how to play, so I showed her. I let her use my account (Puzuma btw) and watched how she did. She wasn't playing for more than an hour when she won a pot($1100.00) with a Royal Flush.

I'll leave it to you as to who had the better day.

Bumgorf

Well, that's another week and a half between updates. I feel like I'm slacking off here...

I'm at a point where I'm seriously thinking about quitting the job hunt. I've put out resumes, I talk to people about possible work, I'm looking in the papers, on the net and in shop windows. In the last 7 months I've had 2 job interviews. Only one of them had the balls to call me and tell me I didn't get the job. The other left me hanging until I called them to see what was going on. Fucking idiots.

The "reach back" program I've been looking into doesn't seem to be too promising. Every meeting I've had about it makes me think I'm ineligible because I'm not on pogey. I've been to their stupid little "job club workshops", I KNOW I'm doing my interviews right and the one thing I REALLY want to do I need $7000.00 Cdn.

Uh what else?
Well over at the Spec Ops Forum I've gone up the ladder from member to mod to the admin staff. That keeps me pretty busy. It'd be worse if CptObvious and ShadoAngel weren't promoted along with me. Maybe sometime in the future we can hook up at a strip club and complain about the really stupid thing s some of the members do. Not all, SOME. If you guys are reading this you know what I'm talking about. There's always those few members that can't take a hint and continue to spam or flame. Considering that we're babysitting some 5500+ members it's not really that bad.

Canada day has come and gone. They held a "red & white" parade from uptown to city hall. Anyone could get in as long as they were wearing red & white. So the family and I get in there. Heck we even made it on TV. You could see Carrie clearly and Logan for the most part. I was hidden behind a flag. You couldn't even see my feet. Not that it mattered really since we were only seen for 2 seconds...

Well, it's getting close to luck and I'm hungry. soo...
