Harder to watch than Raw is Owen

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

They used this music for the Eddie tribute video. The Johnny Cash version. My eyes watered.


Eddie was more than a great wrestler (yes, GREAT. Up there with Flair, Angle, Chris Benoit, even Kermit (hawk, ptui). Mount Perpetually Over, to quote Eric S.). Most importantly, he was a great person and a huge inspiration to the other wrestlers. JBL, Dave. Made them look good. Credible. The great ones can do that, you know. And make it look easy. Make a broomstick look like a maineventer. Make someone with potential look like a superstar. Eddie had talent in spades. Had his demons too, but he beat them back. Having beaten them back, he fulfiled his potential.

Random notes to the Flist, with love from me :)

*cough*

1) A certain Canadian mook has a DVD out. Lots of wrestly matches and prime Canadian bacon, presumably. DVD is supposed to be quite good, and is not a burial job.

2) Apparently Silent Bob did another movie with Jay. This one in Canada. With Degrassi High. http://www.silentbobspeaks

3) You would not have liked to experience Raw Is Eddie. This one hurt worse than Raw is Owen, and it's kind of scary to see DAVE with bacon eyes because he's been crying so much. Chris. And Rey, who took his mask off. Weirdly, it was the best night of wrestling that Raw put out in months. Surreal.

4) Only sour note for me was from Kermit's comments (hawk, ptui). My dislike for him as a person has actually not diminished since his conversion, but that is because he reminds me of those sleazy Christianists I try to avoid.

5) We've had about four inches of rain since Sunday. I hate tropical systems.

6) I am cold and wet. See above rain.

7) My system is still down, because of the wanting of a Windows 2000 bootable CD I cannot believe that the system can be made so nonrobust that it refuses to use mouse or keyboard drivers.

8) Linux is more ready for gneral use than most people think, but not yet ready enough for some. (I've had to throw some parts together and install a SimplyMepis box for use at home, but I don't have any music or games. :( They are all on the borked PC. )

9) I love you guys and hope that all of you are closer to your personal goals today.

10) There is no 10 as yet.

11) The volume knob should reach here sometimes.
