Can't keep me down
Don't know what you're up against
You can push me out the window; I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck, I won't give a f*ck
You can hang me like a slave, I'll go underground
You can't keep me down - pink

I posted a new picture on the bio page.

It was a long and not necessarily good run. The crowds were smaller than usual. I could make excuses. I could say the people were out enjoying the nice weather. I could say the buildings were awful. I could make any number of excuses. But, what is the point?

A long series of weekend drives is in the books. I worked 4 events in April and once already in May. It was nice to be in a different town wrestling every weekend. I wish I were able to keep pushing forward with that type of schedule.

Things could have been better. But, the events came off fairly well. I did everything in my power to make sure fans left each event satisfied. You have to weigh the good with the bad.

I made a few interesting contacts during this last run. I will be making a couple of roadtrips this month. I will continue to bust my butt and try to improve.

Random IWA thoughts...
• If DDK can be "angry black man", I call dibs on "bitter white guy"
• Cyrus Poe vs. my 3-year old son with plastic Star Wars lightsabers
• Brad Shultz in a "tough man" contest is an oxymoron
• Maybe Brad Shultz is just a moron
• Carlton Kaz is "simply the best"
• Spazz was just another victim
• Cyrus Poe in a singlet?
• Something oddly similar about the Bryan Blade vs. Bull Miller and Chill vs. Holyman matches
• Tommy Chill in Tajiri-style pants?
• I liked Holyman better when his left arm had unGodly sunburn
• I've got 5 words for you; vintage repeat offenders
• Kudos to "Bruce the ref" for learning Spanish

I have a new lifting partner. Dale Johnson has decided that getting slapped around by Shank Dorsey isn't enough abuse. Dale wants me to abuse him as well. Dale is drinking milk and someday... Well, he has survived 2 full weeks of lifting with me. He is busting his butt. He hasn't tapped out... yet. There is even the remote chance that the fat, toothless, pepsi drinking, smoker he cuddles with might start visiting the gym. That or he is going to visit some guy named Jim. I can't remember.

Random movie thoughts...
• Baseketball is still funny
• The Scorpion King was decent
• Spiderman was excellent
• 2 weeks until Star Wars
