I wasn't a big fan of Andrew "Test" Martin's in-ring work. I wasn't an anti-fan either. Mostly I was pretty "Meh" about him. This does not mean, however, that I am not saddened by his passing. Every time a wrestler dies at a young age, it catches me off guard; although, by all rights, I should be pretty jaded by now. Maybe it speaks well of my character that I will never, ever be used to men dying at the age of 33.

If I was a praying type of woman, I'd say that I will be keeping Test's family in my prayers. Instead, I will just keep them in my thoughts and continued to be saddened by the news.

Current Mood: pensive

Barack Obama's grandmother just died this afternoon. What a shame that she didn't get to see tomorrow--it would have made her so proud, I am sure.

And how horrible for Obama. It's never easy to lose a family member, and the timing of this is especially terrible.

I think tomorrow will be a great day for him, but his happiness will surely be tempered by his grandma's death.

I cannot wait to go out and vote tomorrow. I feel like a small child on Christmas eve!

Former UFC champion found dead

By Dave Meltzer

Former UFC middleweight champion Evan Tanner was found found dead earlier today in the Palo Verde mountain area, 60 miles northeast of Brawley, CA. He was 37.

Tanner had been missing since Friday. Tanner wrote on his web site, "I plan on going so deep into the desert than any failure of my equipment could cost me my life."

According to a report on Sherdog.com, Deana Epperson, who grew up across the street from Tanner in Amarillo, said he had texted friends on Thursday night saying he had run out of water as well as gas for his motorcycle.

Area police had been trying to find him since that time and found a body today who was identified as that of Tanner..

Tanner was a self-styled drifter who would fight to make a few bucks for most of his career. A high school wrestling state champion in Texas, he got talked into entering the Amarillo-based USWF by some friends. In the local pro wrestling oriented shoot group run by former UWF wrestler Steve Nelson, he quickly became its biggest star. He then started fighting in Japan with Pancrase, and his career highlight was in 2005 when he beat David Terrell to become UFC middleweight champion, but lost the title to Rich Franklin. His last fight was on 6/21 where he lost to Kendall Grove.

He was such an awesome, wacky MMA guy. He was fun to watch and fun to listen to as well. The world is a less-awesome place now that it is Evan Tannerless

Truly one of the funniest men to have ever lived.

I liked Tim Russert.

Earlier in the week, I made a short entry about Jeff Hardy failing a drug test super close to his big break at Wrestlemania. At the time, I didn't think I could feel bad for the guy. Unfortunately, the fates have proven me wrong. A couple days ago, Jeff's house burned to ground, and to make it even worse, his dog perished in the fire. Nobody deserves that.

Bummer of a week for Mr. Hardy.

Patrick Swayze has terminal cancer.

I love so much about this man. Dirty Dancing, Road House, Ghost, The Outsiders, etc.

I even saw him in a mediocre performance of Billy Flynn in Chicago. He was pretty okay, but every song he sang in the play lacked the awesomeness of "She's Like the Wind."

Current Mood: sad

I'm really pretty sad about this. I was channel surfing towards the end of my shift at work and stumbled up the TV Guide networks coverage of his death. I started to well up while watching it, which surprised me. I haven't been too attached to him as an actor but I really liked his stuff. Mostly I'm sad for his little baby. I just... don't feel like I should be so affected by this. I'm a pro wrestling fan after all. People I'm a fan of die on a semi-regular basis. Yet this one is tough. He was way too young to go. I've read other people comparing this to River Phoenix and I'm betting it's a pretty similar situation. I was too young to know much or be impacted to a great deal by River Phoenix's death, so maybe this is our generation's River Phoenix.

Sad.

Dad fixed my blinker! Yay!

But as I was driving, I killed a bird. It didn't fly away fast enough, and I am deeply upset by this--legit. Tears actually came to my eyes. Me thinks I'm in that emotional time of the month.

Current Mood: mellow

I woke up this morning just feeling bummed out in general (and also in one particular aspect of my life). I hate emotions.

Current Mood: blah

Sometimes I really hate being me. I'm really fairly invisible; everybody loves Liz, and oh yeah, Teresa's okay too. I can understand why people adore her. I adore her. But would it be too much for somebody to like me all by myself. I can list so many people who like Liz way more than me. ( Read more... )

I don't want to be all angsty, but shit. It kinda hurts every time somebody sees me and asks, "Where's your partner in crime?" or "No Liz today?" or "Well, there's one half." Is that really all I am to people, is half of Liz & Teresa? Simply Liz's roommate?

What stupid questions to ask, it's pretty obvious that's what I am.

Current Mood: melancholy
