I collect a ton of things, mainly old media, video games, and cards. I've played Magic for 14 years and I've worked on a tabletop racing game for almost 7 years. Sports fan, including the Carolina Hurricanes and other NC teams. Also pansexual. He/Him/His

Here are my Fire Pro boxing packs based on fight cards from the past, present, and future.

This'll be so I can keep up with everything and make it easier to access my stuff.
Sooner or later, these types of things from this admin are gonna end this regime altogether. It may very well happen before we're even halfway done with Trump's 2nd term too.

You play with fire enough, you get burned.
Bill Barr had the reporter who broke the Epstein story surveilled. Nothing to see here, folks.

I will never understand why men in sports and wrestling circles always feel the need to mansplain everything they can to feel superior.

It's usually the men that can't get any play, so they have to make other people feel sad around them. That's just a skill issue, really.
Lol I’m at a restaurant watching MNF and some dude mansplaining TO ME who John Madden was.

Probably the time someone who was a local artist in Charlotte wanting to meet ME at a convention because he saw the posts I did for 2nd and Charles on IG.

He specifically asked "where's the guy that does the pose?" and I ended up meeting him at the next convention he was at.

My life is silly.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Vegas getting their ultimate karma for signing Carter Hart and booting a reporter out of the building for asking about it is delicious. Too bad the West is so mid outside of Colorado and Dallas, otherwise they'd be well out of a playoff spot like they deserve to be.

Good! Let the tech industry collapse. It's gonna collapse when the bubble bursts anyway, so might as well get it over with. I'm sure the country of Texas could use more people right now.

The most Carolina Panthers way to make the playoffs would be the Falcons clinching them a spot by means of a tiebreaker that I didn't even know existed until yesterday.

That situation is actually on the table in Week 18.

To quote Jeremy Clarkson: I'd rather blowtorch my nipples off.

Give me women's wrestling over that stuff.
Who isn’t stoked for YeetHausen, Yeet2J, Jeri-Yeah, 6-7Hausen, Y267, Jeri-Hendry, or Hendryhausen though

Amazing that in 1999, $69.95 would get you all this.

In 2025/2026, $69.95 wouldn't even let you look at Scotiabank Arena on game day. You probably have to pay more than double to even get within viewing distance of the arena, all so you can watch a team that hasn't made the third round since 2002.
Here's a neat little sports x food crossover!

In 1999, Pizza Hut teamed up with The Buffalo News to offer a "Buffalo Sabres Family Value Night." For $69.95 you received:

-4 tickets to a Sabres game
-2 souvenir pucks
-A free large one-topping pizza, family order of breadsticks, and 4 soft drinks

Went digging through my stuff and found two more donor cars in random card boxes in the back of my house, so that was nice.

Also nice was finding Lord of the Rings and Naruto TCG cards to use for the same project.

I may or may not have some bias towards one of these signings.

Maybe.
December 29, 2025 at 2:56 PM
That's my biggest pet peeve with the left. They all think you have to be capable of the perfect boycott and if you aren't, you aren't good enough.

Nothing in our society is clean. Entertainment, sports, video games, where we shop, list goes on.

You pick and choose your spots and go from there.
Purity tests are exhausting. If you want to boycott every single thing that anyone with shitty opinions has worked on, be my guest, but good luck finding any content to consume.

Random race car photo preservation update:

Got every season from the Super GT era of Japanese touring cars preserved now. Just cleaned up the seasons I was missing (2005, 2008, 2009, 2025).

Also got a decent archive for 2025 Super Formula and 2025 F1.

My work never stops.

It'd help if the media wasn't compromised to where they parrot this stuff as anything but "this is bullshit, here's why it is" in order to stay in Trump's good graces.

That's another reason to add to the list of reasons why mainstream media has to go when we get out the other side of this.

That and I want to see more talent in both bubbles calling out tribalism since it seems to only be getting worse and worse towards the talent in either company.

The whole idea that the talent not in your favorite company aren't humans and shouldn't be treated as such is just gross to me.
My wish for 2026 is for more talent outside the #WWE bubble to call out the bias in wrestling reporting (or the "bend and spread for the fed")

Good on MJF.

Glossy sticker paper has been ordered. 240 sheets from Koala Paper themselves.

Now my Race Day customs can look a little nicer. Gives me time to figure out what custom car I want to do next will be.

To say that Chris Jericho never benefited AEW while he was there would be a lie.

He absolutely had a hand in them surviving through the pandemic era and challenging for WWE's crown the first time.

His problem was that the promotion outgrew the need for him and his in ring ability took steps back.
December 29, 2025 at 9:26 AM
I can speak to that for my own stuff for Race Day. It took several years of trial and error and many formatting changes before I truly liked how my templates looked for the project. Half the fun now is finding the perfect image that slots right into the frame without much shifting or resizing.
I say this bc it's good to remember. In a world of gen-AI "art" and anything creative, where everyone is told the end result/product is what matters most --- skipping the steps of actually making it is what robs it of any meaning.

The process is where you put parts of yourself into it

For all the problems I have with the alternative platforms (none of them are perfect), they are still way better for what we do than X will ever be again.

Just having working moderation is more than enough, but everything else makes you wonder how long that platform has left.
I learned last night that apparently if you comment on posts of accounts you don’t follow on Twitter they’d restrict your reach and seriously what is wrong with them over there

Random race car time.

I miss the old Jaguar liveries during their initial run in F1.
December 29, 2025 at 12:33 AM
Occasionally, I randomly remember that Corey Graves went on an all caps tirade on Twitter (back when it was called that) after CM Punk's 2nd fight because Punk wouldn't talk to him and he randomly came after Kenny Omega fans for no reason, which prompted Omega to clap him back.

Weird situation.
December 28, 2025 at 11:54 PM
Jericho has a complicated legacy in AEW, but the one thing we cannot deny is him being the first champion was 100% the correct call. He did them a solid getting them through the pandemic era too.

It didn't quite land after that, but he helped get them through the formative years and that is great.
Looks like jericho's aew career is officially over per Alba. Kinda sad that it ended without much fanfare. No loser leaves aew match or putting someone over like fletcher on the way out. Won't be following anything he does in wwe. End of an era man. #Aew

After a decent bit of sleep, I'm feeling much much better.

Hopefully we're all feeling a bit better than we were immediately after the main event.
December 28, 2025 at 10:57 PM
@marcquill.bsky.social The silver lining to needing to find ways to level off from the heat of the moment reactions to the main event: I found the glossy sticker paper I want for Race Day cars.
December 28, 2025 at 3:45 PM
@wrassletrash.is.goblin.fyi Okay, now that I've come down from the initial wave of what the fuck, I'm back in a good mood after seeing more of Stat and Jamie beating the shit out of each other.

Women's division slobberknocker. That's the only world title picture I recognize at this moment in time.
