As a huge wrestling fan I am deeply saddened by the death of Dusty Rhodes. It was apparently due to a fall. I'll be keeping a close eye on how he fell in the upcoming days.

Glad they're ok.

Thanks me too.

Doubt you're like me, but every now and then especially when I can't sleep at night I think about stupid stuff about what I'd do if something catastrophic happened to my fiance and one of the kids. Its upsetting to say the least. I have nightmares about it.

My youngest son graduated Kindergarten today. He's already developing kind of a smart ass attitude like his father. He'll fit in here perfectly one day.

I am very much like that. After she said "she ran me off the road" she could have said she and my daughter were ok 100 times but until I saw them I was in panic mode. When I got there I just held them both. Very scary but the outcome was much better than it could have been had the woman hit them head on with both cars going over 50 mph.

This is the best news I have seen in a while. NC DMV will allow drivers to renew their license every other turn (8 years). So for most of us, we will only need to go to the DMV once every 16 years. Plus, there should be much less people at the DMV when you do need to go.

I am set to renew in January of 2016. Damn near perfect timing.

I hate crowds. I hate lines. I hate stupid people. The DMV is one of the top 5 worst experiences on the planet for me, right up there with getting stuck in an unventilated room full of chain smokers.

At least it will be less painful than The Undertaker getting "Sara" removed.

Does that mean I don't have to go to that damn place until 2027? Awesome...

Went to the Independence game tonight. Had a great time, hopefully they'll actually be playing in Charlotte next week. Jacks Militia makes some noise.

"Get Him To The Greek" might be an all time favourite top 5 movie for me.

**** hilarious no matter how many times I watch it.

And Diddy is AMAZING in it. Should have won an Oscar for best cameo or supporting actor or something.

Fun fact... I have never seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies.

Did anyone else stay up until 3:30AM last night watching the Americans lose on penalty kicks in the U-20 world cup?

Never seen any of those. Never seen a Harry Potter. Only seen one Star Wars and that was because it was a field trip.
