Yesterday, while hanging out with some of my dorm mates who enjoy WWE Wrestling, I heard that Chris Benoit, his wife, and his child were found dead, but with no details.

Being that I had my laptop on me at the time, they all asked me if I can try to get them some more information about what happened. Unfortunately, despite drawing and summoning all of my resources, and even using the Wikipedia booster gave me almost nil, other than confirming that it was not another angle for the show like Vince McMahon’s ‘death’. That was one thing they wanted to know. The information about how it all went down wasn’t available to the public at that time, so unfortunately, they wouldn’t know.

Fast forward to today. I come in to work, and accept a couple of hours of VTO. I check TMZ.com to see if they had any information about Benoit’s death, and was surprised at the article they had published. Lately, at least to me, there’s been a lot of murder-suicide cases, with someone slaughtering the whole family that’s on hand, and then offing themselves so they don’t have to account directly to us as humans for their sins, their crimes, and their transgressions.

This is, perhaps, a bit too disturbing, how people just think like this.

I know what it’s like to want to die, but, I guess I don’t understand why someone feels they must also off family members that are dear to them at the same time. It makes little to no sense whatsoever. I’m just wondering if anyone, be they a star, or maybe sub-par, will ever logically say to themselves, “Oh man, I’m in too deep. Let me talk to someone before I drown myself in this problem.”

I was just wondering, is all.

When does the real sports season begin?

I’m stuck with a bunch of sports-mongering men here at the Salvation Army, and unfortunately, that means I get to watch lots and lots of sports on television here.

This wouldn’t be bad if I felt they had good taste in sports (extreme snowboarding, just about anything BMX related, skateboarding, etc), but I think their choices in sports are antique, and boring. I mean, why would I want to watch basketball or NASCAR? I’m already dreading when American Football season begins. Hot, sweaty men running back and forth, lobbing an inflated pig’s bladder back and forth? No, thanks.

Please tell me that I haven’t missed snowboarding season SOMEWHERE, and that kids are still doing gnarly tricks on tricked out bikes, among other things. :o

Lose the Race, Lose your Ride.

When I was young, my uncle took me and my family out to see a drag race. I was a little kid, and the noise got to me then, but I really liked watching the cars roaring down the track, loving how fast they went. I remember one car losing control, and slamming against the wall. The driver was okay, though. But, those cars were the ones with the really long noses. Fun to watch, but a bit odd for me.

One thing I never really talk about that much is just how much I love watching fast cars. It’s why I enjoy most decent racing games (Metropolis Street Racer, for example).

While I enjoy the games, there are people out there who love doing it for real. I may never be able to compete in their league, but that’s fine with me. I get to watch Drag Racing Clips of guys going head to head, and put their car up as booty for winning.

Check out PINKS, on SpeedTV.com:
Lose the Race? LOSE YOUR RIDE.
The best part is, on Thanksgiving Day (that’s the 23rd of November for those of you outside of the US), there’s going to be an ALL DAY marathon AND the premiere of PINKS All Out. So, skip the Turkey Day pigskin tossing, and watch these guys get behind the wheel.
Someone’s going home without a car. Find out who, next Thursday. :)
