June 30th 
 
Hello and welcome one and all. This past week has been a fun filled and exciting week. Quite frankly I am fucking exhausted and just want to sleep for the next three days. Unfortunately I can’t do that, but it is nice to dream. 
         
         To start off my week I sat in a dunk tank to help the Boy Scouts raise money at the Punxsutawney carnival. We didn’t do bad all in all I helped them raise $120.00 in about an hour and a half. I guess my big mouth is good for something. Setting in a dunk tank in my opinion is one of the most enjoyable fundraisers I do. When I was growing up I was in the Boy Scouts and I enjoy helping them raise money. Not only is it raising money for a good cause I certainly enjoy the ego boost from being eye candy for all the ladies throwing balls and say things like, “Damn it I want to see him wet!”, when they miss the target.
         
         What was even more interesting the night I was in the dunk tank was the lady running the carnival. Her name is Tammy and she was running around like the queen bitch in charge. In fact she was such a queen bitch that she kicked me out of the carnival. Now, getting kicked out of some place isn’t really shocking or surprising, I have been kicked out of my fair share of places. In fact I have been known to get a little out of hand from time to time. The surprising part is why I was asked to leave. 
         
         Believe it or not I was asked to leave an outdoor event for not wearing my shirt. Yes, you read that right I was asked to leave the carnival in Punxsutawney, PA for not wearing a shirt. The carnival is sponsored by the local volunteer fire department to raise money which is a great idea. With out them we would be in trouble. Most of the firemen in the area, are some of the best and most helpful people you will ever meet, but enough about that, I’m going to get back to the point. 
         
         This Tammy broad kicked me out of the fucking carnival for not wearing a shirt. Have you ever heard of a carnival with a dress code; if you have please let me know because I have never heard of one? Seriously, the last time I checked it is publicly acceptable for a man to go shirtless.  Maybe I’m wrong, but I highly doubt it. I want to hear your opinion on this subject so when I right a letter to the local newspaper I can quote people instead of just giving my opinion.
         
         That was the start of my week. I personally thought and still think that it was and still is funny that I was asked to leave a carnival. Either way, lets move on. My little girl got a new 110cc four wheeler. Jezabel and I had a blast riding it around through the woods. She absolutely loved going over the little hills and through the mud. But before I bore you with that, let me get to the interesting part. When I was teaching her how to ride it she wrecked flipped it over. 
         
         Thankfully no one was hurt, but according to the people watching it was one of the funniest damn things in the world to see. Considering she is only six years old I was sitting on the 4 wheeler with her so I could talk to her as she was driving. I gave her a quick run down on what everything was and how it worked and then we were off. Jezabel was doing great at first. She was a little timid so she was taking her time; that is until she got to be a little more confident. That is when it happened. It was a combination of my weight and her heavy thumb on the throttle. Needless to say that as small as an 110cc is there really wasn’t much room for the two of us so I was sitting way in the back on the seat. When she hit the throttle there was a combination of speed, my weight being to far back and a small knoll in the yard. When the front wheels came off the ground it happened so quick I didn’t have a chance to regain control so I pushed her to the side as I was flying through the air. Believe it or not that little thing through me about ten feet through the air. 
         
         Like I said no one was hurt. Jezabel of course was scared shitless and I tweaked my knee a little, but nothing major. After taking a few minutes to calm her down and put the handle bars back to where they were supposed to be Jezabel and I decided that she wasn’t quite ready to drive it by herself so we jumped on and just kept playing in the woods. Now she is one of the happiest little girls in the world and she can’t wait until the next time we get to go riding.
         
         Friday night was an action packed night in West Newton, PA.  J-ru and I sat down and signed a contract making our match on July 25 at Backdraft official. Things were going smoothly at first and then once the contract was signed the prick decided to try and jump me. After trading a few punches I threw his ass out of the ring and then proceeded to follow him out, that’s when the rest of his jabroni friends tried jumping in on the action. All and all they got in a few good shots, but at the end of the night I stood tall. Neither J-ru nor any other jabroni from the Feelbad 5 were able to keep me down. After breaking free I kicked J-ru’s ass to the back, which may I say felt pretty damn good. I expect you to come on out to Ellsworth, PA on July 25th so you can watch me settle things once and for all between J-ru and myself in a lumberjack match. 
         
         Face it J-ru this time you have no where to run and no where to hide, your ass belongs to me and once I am finished kicking it I plan to hand it to Feelbad so I can show him what happens to people that cross me. At this point I don’t give a damn about your title, I could win that at any given time, all I care about is giving you the beating you have coming to you.
         
         Speaking of Feelbad, I hope and pray that the no good son of a bitch tries to get involved. I want to give him the ass whooping he deserves as well. If he thinks he is such a big shot and can run his mouth any time he wants to I will take the first opportunity to shut his mouth for him. I hope the lumberjacks throw him in the ring so I can show him what a bully is capable of doing when pushed too far.
         
         Now, on to Sunday in Indiana, Pa with the APWF, it has been two years since the APWF has ran a show in PA and brother let me tell you they are back with a vengeance. Bubba put on one helluva show. It was non stop action from beginning to end. It was also a day of seeing some old familiar faces and a few knew ones. I can definitely say that I am proud to be apart of the APWF and plan to be with them for a very long time to come. Bubba is a great guy and some one that I have had the privilege of calling a friend for about 5 years now. I owe a lot to the APWF. They are the promotion that had Jake in my area when I met him. Had it not been for the APWF I would have probably never met Jake and had the opportunities I have had.    
         
         My match was a fun little match against Spiffy Sean Stylez. It was back and forth at the beginning then he decided to take a few cheap shots and I will give him credit where credit was due, he was getting the upper hand nicely for a few minutes and then out of no where I slipped out of his grip and hit him with the deadly DDT. Needless to say after having my hand raised in victory I let Jezabel out if the bag and she had her way with Spiffy for a short time and then he was gone.
         
         After the APWF show I headed down to WV for a show in New Martinsville, which to my surprise I found out was cancelled. Ordinarily that would have pissed me off to no end, but for some reason not this time. I have a bunch of promotional work to do for the WVWA this week any way so it still all works out for the best. I did have the opportunity to stop of and see a friend of mine on the way to WV and that was nice. I don’t have as much time to stop off and see many of my friends and when I have the chance I take it. So as I said earlier Sunday was a day for friends. I got to hang out for a little while with my old friends from the APWF and I got to hang out for about 3 hours with another good friend along the way. All and all Sunday was a fun day.
         
         That pretty much sums up my week and yes, I know it was a little long winded, but hey, I’ve been a busy man this past week and I loved it.  Also by the way, I didn’t do to well with quitting smoking, it only lasted about 3 days and then I was right back at, don’t worry though, I am going to try again very soon. Now on to the really fun stuff…
         
         I am sure that everyone has heard about the South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford.  If not, here is the general run down, he had gone “missing” for about a week and upon his return told everyone that he went hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. When in all reality he was in Argentina with his girlfriend. I’m sure as hell not going to judge the man for cheating on his wife. Lots more people cheat than what most of us will ever realize. Hell, I’m guilty of cheating on well every woman I have ever been with. So I fully understand how and why it happens. Cheating may not be right and to some people cheating maybe morally wrong, but it is something that happens on a daily basis all across the world. 
         
         Where I have a problem with Governor Sanford is the fact that he is a hypocrite. Back a few years ago when former President Clinton cheated on his wife Governor Sanford vote yes on three out of four articles to have former President Clinton impeached stating his reason as “moral legitimacy”. Now morals are all well and good. We all have our own set or morals that we live by, mine I’m sure are different from yours and vice versa, and that is fine. Our morals are one of the things that make each of us different. What Governor Sanford did is preach and preach his morals and tell the world how wrong it was for the former President to cheat on his wife and then after all the preaching Governor Sanford did the exact same thing he was preaching against. To add insult to injury his first response was to lie about where he was and what he was doing. I mean come on that is as low as it gets. I don’t care if you are a man or a woman if you decide you have a want, need, or desire to cheat don’t fucking lie about it. Be honest with yourself and your spouse. Yes I did specifically leave out boyfriends and girlfriends because it is kind of hard to cheat on some one that you have no legal ties with. Once you are married however, you have a legal binding contract saying what you will and won’t do while married. Granted you have a moral obligation to boyfriends and girlfriends, but as I said earlier everyone’s morals are different so what I find to be morally appropriate and what you find to be morally appropriate can and probably will be two different things. Hell, if you are in an open relationship and both spouses are ok with different sexual partners I say go for it, but if you aren’t in an open relationship at least have enough respect to be honest with your spouse, being honest is the least you can do. 
         
         Now, let’s talk about the moral points of view for a moment. Do you think it is morally right to have more than one sexual partner while you are in a relationship? Personally I think that it is morally acceptable as long as both spouses are open and there is no emotion involved. I know lots of couples that also share those same views. Either way, I want to know what you think on the subject, so please shoot me an email and tell me what you think. My personal philosophy is that I have morals, but they change as needed to suit my needs and I am going to live life to the fullest and have as much fun as I possibly can before I die.
         
         Speaking of dying, I think now is a great time to mention Michael Jackson. I am personally not a music buff. I’m so bad, that I can’t even tell you the bands that sing or the names of my favorite songs. But I do know that Michael Jackson is one of the biggest names and is called the “King of Pop” so I definitely think we should pay him the respect that he deserves. Either that or insert you favorite Michael Jackson joke, I know there is plenty of them circulating across the nation in one text after another text.
         
         In closing, I would just like to wish you all a happy and safe 4th of July weekend. Enjoy yourself and have as much fun as you possibly can, just try to stay out of trouble.
Until next time,
      The Snakeman Deven Michaels
