"I've been fighting gravity since I was 2".
I love Joe, but I love Hanger more. Plus, Hook just isn't where it's at. No charisma whatsoever and he's not very good in the ring.

I love AEW, but that wasn't the call.

Swerve coming back and the crowd's reaction proves he's a star. I will look forward to the potential Swerve/Hanger tag team.

Had a friend describe CM Punk as “a guy who should’ve gotten therapy 35 years ago, but didn’t, and has spent every day since making it everyone else’s problem.”

That's dead on. It's okay if you like CM Punk as a character, but Phil Brooks is a great actor by convincing people he's a good person.

Making my desk/workstation a little more cozy. Added my NJPW/NOAH towel and my Alex Ovechkin flag for when I need to consult the GOAT on many of life's problems.

My Gunpla backlog is getting out of hand. At least I'm still building and getting through them in a somewhat reasonable time period.

I'd rather have a backlog with variety than none at all.

#Gundam fans, does anyone know of any plans for Sunrise to allow another company to distribute Gundam Blu Rays in the US since RightStuf folded into Crunchyroll and they discontinued printing the Blu rays?

I would love to continue my collection.

My brother claims Ernest P. Worrell is a "cosmic" or "eldritch" force due to his impenetrable plot armor and feats beyond human comprehension. He defies edged weapons and bullets. He gains the favor of multiple mythical beings, and who can forget his indescribable unseen neighbor, Vern.

Got the heavy metal bumpin' in the background, some MST3K on the screen in front of me, and a GQuuuuuux kit waiting to be built.

I'm going on an adventure.

You'd think as much as I love the mobile suit designs, I would've finished it by now 😆

This Newtype order got here a few days earlier than expected. Starting the Gelgoog tonight.

I was a kid when Gundam first aired on American TV, and I didn't give two shits about it. It reminded me of Transformers and I was turned off.

I really wish I gave it more of a shot when I was young. I might've started building Gunpla before I turned 30.

A film buff such as myself only prefers the classics...

I have a soft spot for that little blue hedgehog.

Gonna have another birthday before this game ends.

Can't watch unfortunately. I'm following online, though.

I can't wait until next season for the Nats to be abysmal again...

Paradise Lost is on an amazing 4 album streak. I love when bands make the last song of the album really count. Pulling everything together from preceding songs and sticking the landing.

That time Swallow The Sun made a triple album and the third album was Funeral Doom.

Good shit right here. IMO, nothing after Songs from the North is anything to write home about. Still love their earlier work though.

Towards the end of November/beginning of December, my brother is moving out of state.

This will end an almost 5 year streak of my brother, a mutual friend, and I catching AEW every week. Truly the end of an era.

My friend and I still plan on continuing the tradition.

Linkin Park only put out two albums worth listening to and you can't convince me otherwise. Those first two albums helped define my love of heavier music.

I love Agalloch. Such perfect music for this time of year.

John Haughm referred to Facebook as "Jewbook" years ago in a rant on Facebook, and I still find that unintentionally hilarious.

St. Anger is my 2nd favorite Metallica album only behind Justice.

I don't care. It's essentially a Metallica nu-metal album and I love that. Also, that trash can snare totally works for the album.

They were not a happy bunch of lads when this was recorded.

I'm not a huge Sonata Arctica fan by any means, but this song kicks ass.

If you have a death metal song that starts with a cool riff, a four count on the hi-hat, then a hefty "OOOOOH!!!", consider me a fan. Love me some Tomb Mold.

Made a list of all the musical acts I've seen live. All starting with the first show I ever saw in 2009. Which was Gojira and Lamb of God opening for Metallica.

One of my favorite invention exchanges.

It sucks they stopped doing them after Mike took over as host. Joel was the prop guy, though.

Posed the HG ZZ Gundam on an action base. I need to pose more of my Gunpla.
