If the Mick Foley @MSG post didn't already give it away... here's the big announcement:
I'm officially going to Wrestlemania XXIX (29) @MetLife Stadium on Sunday April 7, 2013!!!
I missed the opportunity to go to Wrestlemania XX (20) in 2004 due to being in California and taking a shift at the Cal Dining Center & Bar. My frickin' co-worker/supervisor went while I had to handle his shift, WTF!!! He was from Cali, I'm a New Yorker, that was supposed to be my ticket!!! Missed watching my boy, Mick Foley and the reunion of the Rock n' Sock Connection, and most of all, an epic Triple Threat Match for the WWF Championship with my boy, Chris Benoit (RIP) vs HHH and Shawn Michaels, making HHH tap out, followed by a celebration with Eddie Guerrero (RIP), the World Champion at the time. That would've been my chance to experience an epic Undertaker "Wrestlemania"
entrance but looks like this will be the year that I get to check that off my bucket list. Wrestlemania XXIX, here I come!!!
Got to see Who Framed Roger Rabbit in its original 1988 35mm film stock tonight!
So far, I've been able to watch 4 of my 5 favorite movies ever on the big screen.
The 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray of the movie is coming out soon, be sure to get your copy.
Congratulations on the WWE Hall of Fame induction, Mick!
See you again soon... Have a Nice Day!
Been busy working the past few weeks. Big announcement coming soon...
Here's an important message from Stephen Silver to us artists out there to "Stop Working For Free":
http://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/stephen-silver-stop-working-for-free-77417.html
I have worked on some past productions for free and it is true what he says... sometimes you are treated like shit and no one respects you and the time and effort you invest, especially when you don't have the confidence in yourself and what you bring to the table. Of course, on the professional sets I've worked on, they pay minimum or low wages and this is because they respect your hard work and dedication and assistance (I for one know that whatever I'm working on, I put forth all my effort to do my job the best that I can). Even those that I am paid to work on, I put up with people, most of the time younger than me (yeah, I'm old despite looking and sounding 10 years younger than I am), barking orders at me time and again, but when you're not getting paid, you should say "fuck this, I'm not taking this shit, I'm outta here" because that's just plain disrespectful, especially when you're working for free when you ought to be getting paid for your services. Believe you me, it's just not worth it. Credit my ass, these people don't respect the fact that everyone is a part of a team and therefore everyone should be treated fairly and respectfully. Some people don't understand how this industry works just yet. Then again, some people are just assholes, heh.
Soon, if no one has figured it out yet already, I will let everyone in on my profession and my ties to The Dark Knight Rises. But for now, I want to say that this industry that I work in is all about teamwork and if some people are getting paid for their work, then you should as well for your skills, talents, efforts, and experience. I support your rant, Stephen Silver. Spread the word.
What a great week for the Knicks -- 3 home games, 3 wins! We defended our home turf well, and albeit they were teams we should beat, in the past we would've probably lost one of those or played 3 tight, close games, but we didn't this year. Our team chemistry is stronger than ever and we are ready to make a strong playoff push to the championship!
The Orlando Magic got off to a hot start but couldn't stop us. No Arron Afflalo and Big Baby Glen Davis (sorry man, you'll always be Big Baby, thank that punk bitch KG for that) left the game early within minutes. Jameer Nelson had it going early but we got him off his rhythm and he couldn't hit nothing after that. Looks like we will sweep the Magic this season, but this is something that should happen because they're horrible this year. Amare was 7 for 7 from the field, which was very impressive. He's getting his hops back and his summer with The Dream Hakeem Olajuwon is paying off as his post-moves look amazing!
The Milwaukee Bucks was a close game up until the 4th when we started to pull away. Jason Kidd returned from a sore back and played limited minutes. We need you in important games as well as during our push in the playoffs. We need all our veterans, Kidd, Camby, Sheed. Larry Sanders looked impressive on defense for the Bucks, but we kept Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis in check this game. Tyson Chandler had a 20 rebound game, first Knick to do it since David Lee a couple of years ago. Good job crashing the boards, Tyson!
Finally, the Sacramento Kings... We remembered that game in Sacramento's home court, where James Johnson hit that buzzer 3 to win. The Knicks remembered that too. Despite the poor 1 for 13 shooting and 18-4 deficit start, we turned it around in a big way... I mean, a really big way... the 3rd quarter wasn't over yet and we had a 45-point lead! It expanded to 50 at one point in the 4th, where it was all garbage minutes for our bench players. Melo finished with 9 points, 5 assists, which showed his sharing the ball when his scoring wasn't needed. Tyson had back-to-back 20 rebound games. Amare was 10 for 10 with 21 points. Steve Novak Discount Double Check sighting!!! He hit 4 for 4 three-pointers in the 2nd quarter, finished with 5 of 7 behind the arc and absolutely nothing else except 1 foul, haha. Welcome back, Steve! Way to bring the championship belt back! Let's keep this rhythm going...
It was total annihilation,
obliteration, whatever word you wish to use. I felt really bad for
Keith Smart and the Sacramento Kings (my 3rd favorite team behind the
Portland Trailblazers), but you guys did sneak one by us last time and
we had to respond.
Although Carmelo Anthony didn't break the Richie Guerin record of 33 straight games (over 2 seasons) with 20 points or more due to the blowout game against the Sacramento Kings, we did get the win and it didn't even look like he was trying to. He was a team player and it is clear his focus this year is winning and getting his teammates involved. Good job, Melo, your record at 31 will still stand for something.
One more home game against the Detroit Pistons before our 2-game road trip. If the Miami Heat lose tonight to the Toronto Raptors, we will attain the #1 spot in the Eastern Conference and Mike Woodson gets to coach the Eastern Conference All-Stars during the All-Star Game in Houston... let's go Raptors! Beat the Heat!
