November 11th
 
          The first thing that I thought of when I sat down to type this was the fact that tomorrow is Veterans Day. Now, I may not always agree with government policies and what not, but one thing that will never change is my deep appreciation for all the men and women, past or present, that put their lives on the line for me. This is a day of celebration for those brave people from all departments of the military. Words can't describe what you all do for us and the appreciation we should all show you.
  
          As for me, this past week has been pretty damn good.  I am up another 3 pounds and I feel great.  I am really glad I told everyone off so that I have plenty of time to hit the gym and get bigger.  LOL  That is pretty much how I spent the majority of my week.  I did however end up at the doctor’s office Saturday afternoon. 
 
          I was cutting up brush, which is never a good thing.  As much as I love working outside, I have to admit The Snakeman with a chainsaw is always dangerous.  LMFAO  Anyway, I was tearing right into it.  There was branches and sawdust flying in every direction.  I was having a damn good time until the shit got into my eye.  I may be covered with tattoos, and sure they hurt, but its nothing like the pain when I get something in my eye.
 
          Obviously, the first thing we did was rinse my eye out with saline for about 10 minutes or so.  When that didn’t help and as the pain was increasing, I knew it was either time to go to the ER or try to get a hold of my optometrist.  I personally don’t like my local ER, so I tracked down Dr Stebbins.  I thought that it was going to be harder than what it was to track him down on a Saturday, but to my surprise he was rather easy to find.
 
           Dr. Stebbins met me at his office shortly after I got a hold of him.  We bullshitted for a couple of minutes and then he went to work.  Within a couple of minutes he found a scratch on my cornea and a piece of the tree under my eyelid.  Dr. Stebbins removed the sawdust and got me all taken care of.  The pain was mostly gone before I even left the office.
 
          My main point behind this story is the fact that my doctor came in on his day off.  Before I called and interrupted his day, Dr. Stebbins was doing lawn work.  I ordinarily bitch about doctors and the medical profession because in my opinion most doctors don’t give a damn about the patients.  I think that the majority of the doctors are more worried about the all mighty dollar and not enough about the patients that are responsible for them making money. 
 
          Since first going to his office and running into him at the gym, I always knew that Dr. Stebbins is a nice guy with a great personality; however, Saturday showed me what kind of doctor he truly is.  I have the utmost respect for any doctor that puts his patients first and that is exactly what Dr. Stebbins did.  Until now the only doctor, that I personally know, that would see patients on his own time is Dr. Moore, my chiropractor.  Now there is two doctors in Punxsutawney that I will put over any time.  Dr. Moore and Dr. Stebbins are two of the best doctors that I have ever met.  I think other doctors should follow the example that both of these men make.
 
          I have never personally read The Hippocratic Oath, but I am pretty sure that patients are supposed to be more important than money and time off.  I sure as hell don’t think or expect doctors to work 24 hours a day, but I do think that they should be more concerned with the patients than what most doctors are.  Gone are the days of the house call; however, there are a few doctors such as Dr. Moore and Dr. Stebbins that prove some doctors still care.
 
          None the less, thanks Doc for coming in on your day off and taking care of me.  To the people in the Punxsutawney area if you aren’t all ready seeing Dr Stebbins for your optometric needs or Dr Moore for all your chiropractic needs I highly recommend that you look both of these doctors up.  Both of them will take damn good care of you and put you first and that’s what is important!!!!
 
          After leaving the doctor’s office I went back to my house and relaxed for a little bit and then I decided to take my daughter out for some cardio work.  While we were out I managed to stick my foot down my throat.  LOL Jezabel’s  birthday is on November 15th, she turns 7 this year.  Her party is on the 14th.  Two things happen every year for my daughter’s birthday.  I make her what ever kind of cake she wants for her party and then on her birthday I take her where ever she would like to go, well within reason.  LOL
 
          Anyway, back to sticking my foot down my throat.  Jezabel and I were out doing our cardio together and she sees this beautiful cake in the window of the one store in my hometown.  The cake was a fucking wedding cake.  She looked at me and said, “I want a cake like that this year.”
 
          Me and my big mouth agreed to it.  So, Jezabel and I sat down the other day and started working on the design.  I am making the pretty princess a four tier.  Each tier is going to have a different theme.  The bottom is going to be green with horses running around it.  The next tier up is going to be purple with flowers all around it.  The third tier is going to be a castle.  Finally the top tier is going to be pink with a tiara setting on the very top of the cake.
 
          All and all I have my work cut out for me.  I got a good start on the cake though.  I made the fondant Sunday and got most of the tiers baked this evening.  I figure I should be able to get all of the cake baked today and start with the decorating.  I feel pretty confident that I will be able to pull this off by the time of Jezabel’s party.  If this cakes turns out the way I have it in my mind, it is going to be fucking awesome!!!!!  Either way, there will be pictures of the cake and her party with the first update after the 14th.
 
          As I said earlier, every year I take Jezabel anywhere she wants to go for her birthday and this year we are headed to Wheeling, WV.  Jezabel is my favorite fishing partner in the entire world and after seeing the pictures from Cabela’s, that is where she wanted to go.  We are going to have a blast!  I know I always do when I stop off at Cabela’s.  Not only do I get to go shopping, I love the animal displays and I know that she will too!!!!!  I don’t know for sure if I will have anyone to run the camera, but if I do there will be plenty of pictures of her and I together on her birthday, it not, there will be lots of pictures of her having fun.  LOL
 
          I heard on the radio today about a guy from Salem that was arrested for DUI.  Now ordinarily that wouldn’t excite me much.  People get arrested for DUI on such a regular basis it is actually kinda boring, but this guy made DUI interesting again.  LOL  This fucking idiot got arrested because he called 911.  On the 911 call, he was pulling over and puking while talking to the operator.  Now if that isn’t bad enough, the reason why he called 911 in the first place is because while he was drinking, his truck got broken into and someone stole his pot!!!  That’s right ladies and gentlemen he called 911 so that he could report that his marijuana was stolen.  I’ve done some pretty stupid shit in my life, but how damn stupid do you have to be to call and report that your drugs have been stolen? 
 
          Just picture it, you’ve got a guy drunk on the phone with 911 pulling over puking while saying, “Ah, someone stole my dope.  I mean I’m already pretty fucked up, but I ah wanna smoke some dope and now I can’t.  I don’t know who the asshole was the broke into my truck, but when you find him can I please have my dope back.” People just amaze me when they do shit like that.  I would love to have the opportunity to talk to that guy to see what exactly was going through his head.  I know that everyone is going to assume that he only did it because he was drunk, but personally I don’t think that is an excuse.  I think it was just plain stupidity.
 
          Speaking of excuses, the excuse I hate most in this world is, “I only did it because I was drunk.” I think that is a bullshit cop out excuse.  I used to be a very heavy drinker, I’m talking a fifth a day and some days two.  Not once in my ten years of heavy drinking did I ever use my drinking as an excuse.  I know what I did at every party and I know who I did at every party.  I think using that excuse is taking away personal responsibility for your own actions.
 
          Personal responsibility is something that we really need to regain in this country, no one is responsible for anything anymore.  The media made me do it, I did it because of the song I listened to, my friends made me, and the list goes on and on.  What ever happened to saying I fucked up?  I made a bad choice and I am responsible for my own actions.  No one says that any more.  Maybe if more people would admit when they do something there wouldn’t be as much fighting or as many lawsuits.
 
          Speaking of addictions and excuses I saw a program on VH1 about sex addiction.  How low have we sunk when we try to say we have sex because of an addiction.  People that are addicted to drugs or alcohol can and sometimes do die when they are coming off of the drug.  I don’t think I know of anyone that has ever died from not having sex.  I have seen crack whores beg dealers, “Hey I will suck your dick for some crack.” What do sex addicts say, “Hey I’ll give you some crack if you let me suck your dick.”
 
          I personally think that sexual addiction is bullshit.  Take responsibilities for your actions.  If you feel bad about fucking a lot well, don’t fuck.  Its pretty simple.  There is no way in hell any human being can form an addiction to sex.  At least that is my opinion.  Maybe I am wrong, but it just seems like bullshit to me.  LOL
 
          There have been many different occasions when I have made the statment that I was addicted to women and sex.  Personally I was always making a sarcastic joke towards people that claim to be sex addits, because I think that it is just an impossibility.  Don't get me wrong, those are definately two of my favorite pass times. LOL  Seriously though, I was always being sarcastic when I reffered to myself as a sex addict.  I think that in order to be truly addicted to something you can't live without that thing.  Well as I said, we can all live with out sex, so in my opinion it is impossible to be truly addicted.
 
          I got a lot of great responses from people wanting to help me put up and hand out fliers.  I am having them printed up and as soon as I get them, I will be sending them out to everyone.  I want to say thank you very much to everyone that is willing to help make my dreams become reality.  You guys truly are the greatest!!!!!
 
          I am headed back to Morgantown, WV for a show on the 19th.  I personally can’t fucking wait.  The last time I was there I had a blast.  Not only can you come out and see yours truly, you will also be able to meet the all American Hacksaw Jim Duggan.  I remember watching Hacksaw when I was kid so I, for one, am looking forward to sharing a locker room with one of my childhood heroes. So, come out to Mylan Park at the Hazel and JW Ruby Community Center at 7:00pm for All-star Championship Wrestling’s ’Fall Brawl’. I hope that even though the show is on a Thursday night that each and everyone of you can make it down to Morgantown. Don't forget that there will be an all-star meet and greet at the building starting at 5:30pm. Make sure you get there early so you can meet all the great wrestlers on this show!
 
          Also, production of The Serpent’s Lair is going great! The first several episodes are almost finished.  Make sure you check it out when it hit’s the web.  I am going to take the web by storm and one way or another I am going to become the most famous son of a bitch in the wrestling world!!!!
 
Until next time,
