Hey everyone, the January Jinx continues.
Slipped on some ice at work today. Pretty sore right now, so going to take it easy.
See you all Wednesday.

Lesson learned today…
It seems my voice is a little bigger than I thought. And assumptions are for asses.
Apologies aside, the only to prove one is better than that is to BE BETTER THAN THAT!!!
Be part of the solution.
See you all Saturday.

The thing that sucks is that people don’t realize the difference between a live and TV experience.
Many content creators were flown into the show & probably had a great time. It just didn’t translate to the TV crowd at all.
Nothing beats live performances.

Just calculated the draw for the Backbreaker Pro Title tournament. There is such a murderers row on one quarter of the bracket.
Can’t wait to show you all the next 4 weeks.

Rage quit my first game in over 2 years!!!
#SuperMarioBros Galaxy Movie will be great, but the touch/wii controls in the game are total ass, and i can’t stand it. I don’t mind losing cause of a lack of skill, but not cause of controls.
Don’t know if I’ll go back…
