Well it was interesting

I found something very interesting this morning that I wanted to post on my blog, but my Mac computer has been acting funny with cookies and blogger.com.
So, alas it didn’t get posted and now I can’t remember what in the world it was about.
I’m very sleepy today.
I shouldn’t have gone to Corsicana last night. Or maybe I should have, but just come home after we ate.
I fell asleep in Rolly’s recliner for probably an hour and a half before I headed home.
Then I pulled over and slept for another 15 minutes or so on the way home.
I’m such a pansie.
I’m having trouble adjusting to waking early and leaving work earlier.
Well, if I ever remember what I meant to post earlier, I will (if blogger works).
Back to the salt mines…

Doh

So, I got a new computer. Not bad. Apparenlty everyone knew I had the worst computer and I got a newer one.
Way to go.
But as i came to type today I couldn’t figure out why I was getting some symbols mixed up. Apparently someone swapped the keys around on my keyboard before i got here.
I think they said they did it to the sports editor. I guess this is his old machine.
Anyways – it was funny for a bit.
Now back to the salt mines. I went from having nothing this morning to 3 or 4 suddenly, including 2 interesting investigative stories.
Hope I don’t get type-cast for it.
BTW – thanks to Big Tim Storm for meeting me for lunch and picking up the tab.

Christians promo

Full Transcript Of Christian’s Promo At TNA PPV Bashing WWE

The following is a transcript of Christian Cage’s comments at Genesis this past Sunday:

So I guess you can imagine the question I got asked the most this week. “Are the rumors we’re hearing true? Is it true you’re going to TNA? And if so, why?” Well I’ll tell you this much, I’ll tell you this much, I didn’t come out here to see the same damn guy say the same damn thing week after week after week. And I didn’t come here to see a grown man, dressed like a doctor, pulling things out of another man’s ass. And you can be damn sure I didn’t come here because I got fired.

Which brings me to another rumor I wanna address and put to bed right now, the rumor that I got lowballed in a contract offer. Well that’s not true at all. See I was offered a very hefty sum to stay exactly where I was. But the reason I came to TNA is the same reason why each and every one of you is in this arena right now, the same reason why everyone’s watching Genesis live on Pay-Per-View. And that reason is that I love wrestling!

Now you know, I’ve been known to crack a joke or two, say something sarcastic, pull a rib. But I don’t want anybody to ever forget the fact that I am, without a doubt, the best all around performer in this sport today. It’s like this. I’m tired of egos and politics. I wanna see guys in this ring busting their asses. I wanna see wrestling reinvented.

Like last night, I turn on SpikeTV, I’m watching Impact-a little plug for you-and it reminded me of when I broke onto the national wrestling scene 8 years ago. There were two companies. One was old, stale, and lacking direction. The other one I was apart of. It was young, hungry, and cutting edge. Fast forward 8 years to this very moment, and there’s still two companies. One is old, boring, and lacking direction. And the other one is TNA!

And I said this is something that I wanna be a part of. In fact, I wanna be the biggest piece of this puzzle. Which brings me to Jeff Jarrett. I’ve got two things to say to you. One-you should never wear white pants after Labor Day. And two-I’ve come to TNA to take the one thing that’s eluded me my entire career. The one thing we can both agree on is the most important and prized possession in this sport, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

So I want everyone right now to stand up and take notice that Christian Cage is here. And Christian Cage will fulfill his destiny. Because that’s…how I roll!

Interesting week

Well, it’s Wednesday night and rather than just wrapping up one paper today, I’ve been a part of three papers getting wrapped up this week.
Moving to a daily is definitly different.
And moving from editor to reporter is definitly different as well.
I have moments where I’m just sitting and waiting for phone calls and want to surf the net, but then I remember how dadgum slow my computer is and how upset I would get when my reporters would just sit around and surf the web.
I don’t blame them (now for sure). Sometimes there’s just down time.
It’s weird. I’ve never been just a reporter except for a brief stint at Eastfield Community College.
That lasted for one semester and I think I may have written four stories.
So this is a whole new world for me.
I need to get out and meet more people so I can have more things to write about on my own.
I need to find more of my own assignments. So far I have one, which I started on on Monday – but my interview isn’t until tomorrow.
I want to get out and start working different beats, but I’m cautious that I don’t step on anyones toes.
And just an FYI, the paper is still looking for one staff reporter.
If you’re interested, give me a shout and I’ll see if I can help ya out.
