Xtreme Wrestling Torrents!!!

Found this wonderful site and have to share. It's such a pain in the ass trying to download PPV's every month. If you're not a member of certain sites, trying to find high quality video is difficult. I don't have to worry about that anymore. Xtreme Wrestling Torrents to the rescue! Amazing! Of course, you'll need a torrent program to download your selections. Everyone should join.

Hayley And Mateo Visit!

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos will reprise their Emmy-nominated roles of Hayley and Mateo in honor of All My Children's 40th anniversary in January. Ripa made the announcement earlier this week on Live With Regis And Kelly. The brief returns are expected to air the week of January 5th.

Smarten Up!

Why are the woman of Oakdale so desperate and delusional? Am I honestly supposed to believe that a sophisticated woman like Barbara Ryan would fall to pieces over being given the short end of the stick by Henry? Come on. She would snap him like a twig, use his leg as a toothpick, and not bat an eye. Get it together, Barbara. You're better than this!

While Henry is still fresh in our minds, let's talk about his mother, Audrey. As much as I love portrayer Lynn Herring, this character needs to go. Hairbrain schemes and ridiculous plots are fine, if not somewhat expected at times. However, when you continuously put yourself in unbelievable, compromising situations, I just don't care. Henry, Vienna, Audrey, and Maddie need to leave town and never look back.

I feel so bad for Liberty. The poor girl makes one careless mistake and isn't allowed to rectify it as she sees fit. It would be nice if all the people pulling her fifty different ways would wake up and realize that all this stress isn't good for mother or child. Let her live her life. I have the utmost confidence that she'll make the right decision when the time comes. Making life altering ones under duress is a recipe for disaster.

Broken Blu-ray!

I hate Sony. I've had nothing but bad luck owning anything with that name attached. My Blu-ray player, which is just about two years old, is on its way out. The warranty has expired and it's not worth fixing. Why fix something when the same problem is going to happen again in no time? The whole situation is very frustrating. It being around the holidays and all, I would feel guilty spending the decent amount of money needed to replace it on myself. There's always the day after Thanksgiving sale option...

Amazing Couple Of Days!

I've dedicated quite a bit of space on this blog to letting people know that I enjoy life's simple pleasures. With the exception of family, there is nothing more important to me then friends. I can't think of a better way to start the day then a surprise visit from your best one. That's exactly what happened Thursday morning. It was quick and spontaneous, but set the mood for the day perfectly. It's also a plus when you get to spend the majority of the week with someone you feel blessed to be around.

While still on a high from Thursday's surprise, I couldn't believe when I found out Friday was shaping up to be even better. A newly overhauled apartment, brunch with those same two incredible people, and a WWE pay-per-view. Does it get any better? Seriously? So, while I know I'm setting myself up for a healthy dose of goodnatured teasing, I would like to say thank you to Tim and Rebecca. I know I'll probably here something along the lines of "you don't have to thank us, that's what friends are for", but it's the only way I could think of putting it without overdoing. :)

I love you guys very much.

Love Is The Answer: Deluxe Edition

Breathtaking cover shot, amazing, age-defying vocals, perfect interpretation, and stunning song selection. All of these elements combine seamlessly to make Love Is The Answer a masterful work of art. For those unaware, two versions of the album are available. The first, a studio album with full orchestra, and a bonus track. The second, a deluxe edition, offering both the previously-mentioned disc, and a quartet version of the same material, minus the bonus track. The standard issue, while perfectly lovely, is totally outshined by its quartet counterpart. Use to hearing Barbra backed by a full, lush orchestra, I was shocked at how amazing she sounds with a simple string set and base behind her.

Wanting listeners to judge without bias, I'll resist the urge to list my favorite cuts. Every one is distinctly individual and unique. Beautiful pictures of heartache, loss, loneliness, love, peace, and longing are painted. Emotions thought long ago forgotten will breathe new life as you lose yourself in this enchanting work. Like has been previously stated, a number one debut, and the recognition that brings has never been more deserved. Anyone in doubt of Miss Streisand's ever-enduring talent and legacy will be silenced by this career highpoint.

#1 Debut!

With her latest album, Love Is The Answer, debuting at the top of the charts, Barbra Streisand becomes the only artist in history to have a number one record in each of the last five decades. This offering is truly one of her finest, and wholeheartedly deserves the spot. It is an honor and privilege to be a Barbra Streisand fan. I couldn't be more proud. Congratulations, Barbra! You are the greatest star!

Greenlee Lives!

Ho hum. Seems as though Greenlee survived the motorcycle crash. Rebecca Budig is returning to her signature role. TPTB are working overtime to lock the actress into a long-term deal, but apparently there's resistance. I'll tell you right now, if the storyline and effort are as atrocious as last time, I may have to take matters into my own hands.

New Colby Found Already!

Mere days after the news of Brianne Moncrief''s release, a replacement has been found. Natalie Hall is the new face of Colby Chandler. Though she begins taping in mid-October, her on-screen debut date is yet to be announced.

Pandemonium!

All My Children's shocking casting bloodbath! Let's total everyone up, shall we. Alicia Minshew, Thorsten Kaye, Daniel Kennedy, Jill Larson, Ray McDonnell, Beth Ehlers, Chrishell Stause, Brianne Moncrief, and Aiden Turner have all either quit, gotten fired, or chosen to retire from the show as a result of the immanent move to LA. What exactly is the point of this? I can see showing hair models like Aiden and Brianne the door, but to fire amazing talent like Beth Ehlers is nonsensical and unforgivable.

In related news, Susan Lucci, though not moving to the West Coast, is staying. Expect I Wanna Be A Soapstar runner-up BethAnn Bonner to join the show in the recurring role of Kat very soon. Sources say it's likely Bonner will score a contract. Great, just what we need, another newbie.

In all honesty, I would have rather AMC be canceled. Seeing it decimated is shameful and sad. I'm sorry Frons and Pratt, Rebecca Budig and Eden Riegel just aren't worth this.

The Zood!

When my sister asked me if I'd like to go to the zoo with her and the nephews, I couldn't resist. Such a wonderful time. The first two pictures are priceless. My sister is an amazing photographer.

P.S. I refer to it as the zood in the title because my oldest nephew kept calling it that. Hysterical!
