Random Thoughts

Random thoughts is gonna be the theme of this Blog. Not full posts, those will be for the new n8itude. Yes that will eventually come.

I'm sketching now and looking at inspiration WP designs. That site I know will be 2 things: Life "Adventures" (I wonder where I got that from?) and a bit of my old blog style of making articles. That will be all of the topics I like (kinda like n8itude 2). Sports, Music, Movies, TV, Comics, Coolie (Mud Up), Wrestling (Slapjack style), Web tricks (Brain Candy)..you know stuff.

Kumite hasn't taken off like I hoped. It's what I expected though. Even when I take it off my server, it's only me who fuels the interest and content flow. Just proves I made the right decision by not re-doing a n8itude forum. I most likely never will now.

I'll have the rest of the dramatic conclusion of the PH@ Cave Dismantle ... Spa Creation story eventually.

Ph@ Cave Dismantle: Phase 4

Now it's time to slowly pack up "the zone".

The Scarface poster AND Wrestlemania framed poster have been relocated to the wall hanger corner.

Remember my desk cleanup a few months ago. Erase it.

Discs have been boxed.

Oh man that's not the ... It can't. Hahah check out the dust around them.

Yep, the trophies of a child athlete who thought he was the next Roberto Alomar. Bagged up and donated to his coach.

The closet took a serious hit. Now I just gotta figure out what I'm wearing for 2 weeks and then the week of vacay.

So empty.

The shoe collection has been taken cared of, not to mention the jackets. All that's left are the dailies and suits.

Whew, I'm frickin tired. 11 days to go.

Ph@ Cave Dismantle: Phase 3

Oh wow walls so eerily barren.

The second day cleanup was a little serious, trust me you are about to see things you never thought you'd ever see. Also, let the memory river flood.

The records have been moved to the "chest of things I want to keep, but not actually TAKE to the condo." AKA I dunno what to do with this yet. Until I get a new USB/digital turntable I have no use for my LPs since I snapped my Stanton needle and my entire stereo system isn't coming either. Yes the legendary SCRATCH MASTER mixer is in there too!

This corner is gonna get filled up with all the potential wall hanger items that I'm actually taking. Rickey!!!

Records, CD's and old cassette tapes cleaned up. Check.

I'm not taking all those damn CD covers... yes that's 3 bags full of empty CD cases.

PUUUUUULLLLLL UP!!!! Bahhaha NOW if there was one Cassette Mixtape to keep it's the legendary 1st clash of KING Addis vs BAAAAAAASSSSSSSS Odysssssey!! Yes Chap that was for you.

Holy Hell the shelves have taken a beaten. DVD's toys, books, cards AND the infamous top level beer bottle collection - GONE.

Anybody wanna buy some Star Wars Transformers?? ANYBODY?? PLEASE!!!

Random NBA mascot plush toys I forgot I had. Forgot mainly because they fell behind the Bose speaker. haha. Yes CHARLOTTE Hornet! Wait is that a Bruce Lee poster? Can it be?

Holy crap, The Bruce Lee Wall has been decommissioned. Let's have a moment of silence for the Dragon wall AND the DJ ICE/Twin Killing stereo system (had since I was 16) for entering parts unknown.

No cassettes archive AND clean magazine shelf. Eeep. Take a breath I know.

Magazines (nuff SOURCE & Maxim) get crated into storage for my eventual eBay store. You want em???

Oh boy let's take a moment to regale the trinity of plastic belts in all their glory.

Especially the ICONIC nWo Hardcore Championship title, which was THE pre-eminent title in the nWo T Dot preliminary years. 24/7 rules applied... hence the hardcoreness... this belt was honored and fought for heavily.

Serious battles for real. The belt's batteredness equally exemplified the energy and effort put forth by all who ever competed for this most cherished prize.

My "Coolie Juice" wasn't so much regaled.

Grade 12 doodling will make me design my own Rum flavored water bottle whose contents tasted more like Rum and Coke ... because it was.

Finally that damned Inferno Vodka bottle and pigment escaped and alcohol poisoned Chili pepper that I've owned since 98 is hitting the blue box. Oh rass a decade!

Gadgets are great. The Source loves me. Coin sorter and paper shredder .. comes in so handy right now!

Ummm yeah. I'm so keeping this. These 2 relics were also part of the Ph@ Cave hallway entrance. Montreal Expos helmet and a REALLY old Incredible Hulk gigundous figure. I had to wrestle it back from a German Shepperd when I was like 11, so that's how it lost it's leg .. and pants. By wrestle I mean cried and waited until the dog got bored and went inside and then I ran over and prayed for my life.

Bob Marley posters have left the building. Wait that closet looks a little light.

Oh damn! The sports jersey collection has been voted out. If you thought that looked weird, wait till you get a load of this:

I know. Everytime I step in I have to take a breath and catch myself.

only 15 more days to go and the cleaning has yet to begin.

Ph@ Cave Dismantle: Phase 2

The 1st cleanup was the 1st journey down memory lane. Of course I had to start with the room. Bare walls?? What the frack?

The foyer got hat-less too. But wait where did all the hats go?

Bam! Believe it or not these bags are only from caps I kept. I actually have double or triple that amount that I'm just giving away.

Hey look more bare walls as the Mania & Bloodsport posters have been donated to the new Museum the spacious—Crazy House.

Money maker zone, just for memories sakes.

The shelves have taken a direct hit to the heart! Where are the precious wrestlers?

Damn how cold.

Time to crate up the records. Yes those records were placed for this picture.

1st day clean up wasn't too dramatic. You just wait.

Ph@ Cave Dismantle: Phase 1

So everyone knows part of the reason n8itude has been in disarray as of late is my life is majorly changing. After a long while that was supposed to be temporary I'm finally leaving the ph@ cave and moving into my own condo...permanently.

I'm not gonna get into why I came back "home" and why I ended up here for so long even when it was supposed to be a short stay. It just happened.

A few odd interesting things happened while I was here; 9/11 of course, NHL Strike, I've had 3 vehicles and 3 computers, my pet scorpion died and a family dog moved in. The Yankees never won the entire time I was here, infact the losing streak STARTED when I got here...hmmm.. Yankees win in 08!!

Other stuff has happened obviously I will reminisce later. This "series" of posts will be me riding through memory lane while packing/cleaning/disassembling my "cave".

The cave is infamous in the land of nWo T dot, as it is home to some of the greatest event in it's history, not to mention it's a museum of sorts dedicated to my many many ... many hobbies and interests.

Sports, comics, toys, geekery, wrestling, hip hop, reggae, djing, clothing ... I like stuff. All of that was featured in a taped episode of "nWo Cribs". It IS what you think it is.

These pics will be from Day 1, right before I taped the feature to show the room in it's LAST and full joy. Every further post will just be a running image diary of the erasure of the nWo T Dot Eastern HQ.

Yes, I have a lot of hats as you will see. The far wall is just my Jays and Yankees caps.

The baseball wall with Rickey Henderson tribute.

I got that Demolition poster at WM 6 in 1990. One of the oldest things I own.

The epitome of open-concept, I refused to have a door on my closet. You say messy, I say accessible.

Shut up I know it looks like I'm still in High School. What, dems was fun times.

The lobby/foyer. Nuff shoes, more caps (cheese head from Wisconsin!!), Guyana pride.

Too bad I never took a pic UP the lobby stairs when the LJN 80s Wrestlers Army guarded the cave entrance, but you can still see what it looked like sans-army when Boyoh made his debut to Cave.

My bad here's a couple pics, the Hostess sticker collection from WM4 (2nd oldest thing I have).

Hitman Undertaker Summerslam poster. Now that's how you know you're about to step into the cave.

My half kitchen .. I drink here mostly. durr.

Once upon a time I used to DJ .. with these ancient relics called ... Vinyl. LITTLE LENNY, whuchu know about dat foo'.

The famous display shelf. Books, DVDs and waste of money Star Wars Transformers. I need to ebay this shit soon who wants em??? Damn YOU and especially Brian (who has no blog anymore??) for hyping me into this crapola.

This was a make-shift Sports Card display since I had already started to pack that stuff. Yes you DO see rookies from Joe Montana, Tony Gwynn, Don Mattingly, Deion Sanders, Jaromir Jagr, Troy Aikman, Bo Jackson, Roger Clemens, Mats Sundin ... nuff. I lost my Kirby Puckett somewhere in this place .. I bet it's behind those shelves.

Of course ... the wrestling figure collection (opened boxes). The LJN Army and the Hogan collection + others . But wait where the hell is Thunderlips???

Oh there he is.

Jordan was big time in my life. Yes I made a wireframe statue of MJ as well as a giant ceramic BBALL Card of his Airness back in Grade 9. F*ck a bowl! ahaha. My CD collection was already packed up too. Too bad.

You've seen the comp desks many times before so no need to show it, but have you ever seen the bulletin boards? Nah .. I still can't manage time wisely.

Ok fine here I am infront of the money maker that you've seen a billion times already.

Next time, you may see some other areas, but bare walls are a coming.

Damn I should have just made this a slideshow. Next time I guess.
