Blizzardy Blog

What up all you fine folks, been a while since my last post, but you know what, I'm here now and I got some time on my hands cause I'm gonna be stuck inside for a bit because of this whole Blizzard thing, so might as well get a post in.

Well, lets start off where we left off, last post, I said I was gonna try and watch every Royal Rumble prior to this years, well, that didn't happen, made a good run of it, but only got to 2004 before I watched 2013. But as they say, you should never start something unless to intend on finishing, so I am currently watching 2012, the last one left, cause well, I obviously watched 2013 already and speaking of which... Well, I was right and I was wrong, I was right to think that the safe money was on John Cena winning the Rumble and The Rock winning the WWE title to set up a rematch at Wrestlemania, and I was wrong about that being to obvious and it not happening, cause that is exactly what happened. I can't say that I'm surprised, however I thought it was a little boring to have those 2 guys win, I guess you could say that I was a little upset about it, but not as upset as one man was that CM Punk lost to The Rock, check out this story:
Anyway, Punk is fighting Rock in a rematch at Elimination Chamber, which I'm sure The Rock will win and then fight John Cena at Wrestlemania. Seeing as it is Wrestlemania season, that means guys are returning, Chris Jericho returned at the Rumble, Brock Lesnar returned the next night on Raw, Jack Swagger came back on Smackdown and then Mark Henry returned on this past Raw, and there are more to come as Triple H will be returning to TV soon to confront Brock for breaking Vince's hip, and then the biggest question out there right now is will The Undertaker be coming back this year for Wrestlemania, it seemed as if the plan was for him to return and take on CM Punk, but as it stands right now, it sounds like due to some injuries he might not be able to make it this year, which could cause a interesting situation as CM Punk would be left without an opponent. But who knows what's gonna happen. So, Elimination Chamber is just a little over a week away, so much like I did or atleast tried to do with the Royal Rumbles, I plan on watching all of the previous Elimination Chamber matches. This I have more confidence that I'm gonna be able to get done, as there are only 15 and none of them were as long as even the shortest Royal Rumble.

Next up, finally watch Ted, it was a pretty funny movie, might have been a little overrated, but certainly made me laugh a bunch. But the reason I bring this up is because this movie was filmed in Boston and there is one scene in particular that was filmed at The Hatch Shell, and strangely enough after the movie was over, I happened to come across the movie Blown Away, which also was filmed in Boston, and I've actually discussed at length in the blog before, weird thing is this movie also features scenes at The Hatch Shell, which got me to thinking, wait, are these the only 2 movies that feature scenes at The Hatch Shell and just by coincidence happen to watch them back to back. Well, I did some research and found that there was only one other movie that had a scene filmed at The Hatch Shell or atleast that I could find, and it was some gay independent film, and when I say gay, I mean that it's about some gay guy, but low budget independent film that noone has probably ever heard of, so not sure that should even count. Also, speaking of Blown Away, as I discussed prior, filimed in Boston, but I noticed this time around a scene that was filmed across the street from the Museum of Science under the bridge where the Green line goes, which happens to be right near where a buddy of mine lives and right by what we call the staircase to nowhere or bridge to nowhere, I'm still not sure, but crazy that I was able to pick that out. Anyway also featured in Blown Away for about a minute is Cuba Gooding Jr, who is the star of the 3rd annual Black History Month movie marathon. The final picks for what we are going to watch hasn't been decided yet, but I'm pretty sure that this movie will be featured:
Oh, so the Super Bowl happened this past weekend, and you can say whatever you want about the game, it was looking like a blowout until the lights went out, then the momentum changed and the 49ers came almost all the way back, just to come up short, much like what happened when the Patriots player the 49ers, but whatever, Ravens won, who cares. The most important thing about the Super Bowl was that we found out the truth about Jim Nantz. What truth you ask, well, everyone seems to think that Jim Nantz is the nicest guy around, but the truth is, he is an evil son of a bitch, just check out this website.

But you know, Jim Nantz wasn't always evil, he was a mild mannered guy until he met the Utah Jazz in a hot tub:
Ever since that day he has been on a vicious rampage to extract revenge on everyone until he murders all these guys, and you might notice that most of these guys have never been seen again, however one man has eluded him over the years and that of course is John Stockton. Jim Nantz is a merciless killing machine who won't and can't be stopped until John Stockton is in his grave. Jim Nantz was the one who cause that Black Out and he took out his rampage on the city of New Orleans, which hadn't seen that type of destruction since Katrina. Be aware and be on the lookout, if you see Jim Nantz don't try and stop him, don't attempt to approach him, just run for your life.

Ok, so the blackout at the Superbowl was kinda weird, but here was something weirder that happened the night before, getting ready to go to bed, throw on Ransom on showtime for some reason, well, I had gone into my room as my roommates were still watching it, I then hear them both yell for me to come back out, I come back out and they tell me to watch something. It was a scene where they are watching a news report about how when the FBI was trying to get involved when Mel Gibson was trying to meet up with Gary Sinise and give him the money and get his son, but it goes wrong and someone gets killed, anyway, while watching it, I notice a quick flash, as we go back and freeze it, this is what is on the screen:





MTI EMPTY FRAME

What hell does that mean? I googled it and it only brought up 2 things that both made reference about watching Ransom on Showtime and noticing it, one post from a couple years ago and one form a few weeks ago. My roommate then posted this picture on Facebook and our former next door neighbor liked it for some strange reason, which still haven't figured that one out, from what I can tell only like 5 people know that this existed, so why did she like it? Weird.

One last note, the other night just hanging out with the roommates we starting having a discussion about clowns for some reason and we decided that you can pretty much say any kind of word and just add "The Clown" to it and it works and is funny, try it. Giggles The Clown, Blizzard The Clown, Farty The Clown, Peanut The Clown, Handsoap The Clown. The only things that don't really work are just regular names, for instance John The Clown, not that great, also things that make it should like you are doing it to the clown, like Slashing The Clown, doesn't sound right. But anyway, try it and enjoy it and be safe out there, this crazy blizzard, which I'm refusing to refer to it by the stupid name that it was given.

Have a good weekend everyone and just for fun here's as my roommate referred to him "A Retarded German Guy Eating Candy"
