TNA notes
Oh yeah, because they mention Hulk Hogan. Sorry, about that man I am an utter mark.
Dear Jarrett, behave.

Please excuse me while I wish to smack Glenn Gilberti with his own foreign object. Don't do that to AMW.

The three way between Michael Shane, Chris Sabin and Christopher Daniels was good. And I figured out what I like about Daniels. The way he wrestles is all neat and tidy and precise. Oh and I quite like the very beginning of Michael Shane's music.

Dear Raven, grow up and don't yell at your two followers for saving your neck. Quite literally.

TNA officially have the knack of getting me to cheer for who they want me to cheer for. Come on AJ, I'm sorry I ever said you were too stupid to be evil.
If Jarrett would stop picking fights with people, maybe people would stop picking fights with him.
I'm so glad that he didn't manage to hit the guilotine leg-drop on Jarrett when he was in the chair though. That could have been nasty.
Plus the way they showed all the other wrestlers watching the match was deeply cool.
Ha, take that Jarrett. I hope whoever Jimmy Hart has got will get Hulk's revenge in for him.


Hee that was fun. I always enjoy it when I can forget the real world and lose myself in something.

Also Abyss's Black Hole is cool.
Why is it that in the midst of all these people who I really like, and know to be good, the two people I end up being totally ga-ga over are AMW?

Oh and if someone can remember this far back (2003) what's the deal with Goldylocks and Erik Watts? I missed the explanation but I'm sure there is one. Why is she suddenly rushing over and looking all worried around him?

And for the Poetry Month thing, about which I have been unspeakably slack.

Half-Caste by John Agard Get Back Pimple 1966, published by Penguin.

Excuse me

Explain yuself
Wha yu mean
Ah listening to yu wid de keen
half of mih ear
Ah looking at yu wid de keen
half of mih eye
and when I’m introduced to yu
I’m sure you’ll understand
why I offer yu a half-a-hand
an when I sleep at night
I close half-a-eye
consequently when I dream
I dream half-a-dream
an when moon begin to glow
I half-caste human being

but yu must come back tomorrow
wid de whole of yu eye
an de whole of yu ear
an de whole of yu mind
an I will tell yu
de other half
of my story

I've actually heard him read this live. He is so good. His other poems, the ones that I've heard, are fantastic as well.

We read it in school in an Anthology, it was part of a section called "Other Cultures and Traditions" which was definitely my favourite part of the whole thing. I could, and probably will, recommend most of the poems in that section. But this is definitely my favourite.
