Hello there. Fancy seeing you here.
I was hoping to have had this up sooner than later, but unfortunately, some health complications got the better of me recently that forced me to take a step back on certain things. To make a long story short, I’ve had a Crohn’s flare up last week – which means my bowels started to hurt real bad and I was, for the most part, not able to sleep. It sucked. I went to see a doctor. I got some meds to get it treated and I’m waiting for a specialist to call and book an appointment. Such is the way of public healthcare; hoping for something unreliable to be somewhat reliable.
In the meantime, I want to say that I’m feeling better… in that the meds are helping me with my abdominal pains and I’m getting some better sleep, but then I start getting into these coughing fits that so far is easily controlled with some home remedies of sorts, but they are, for the most part, what’s keeping me from doing any of the really fun stuff like live streams and the Sunday Gimmick Tables. Again, it sucks… and it seems like whenever I want to try and make a major push to pump out some more fun stuff, there’s always something to curtail that piece of business.
For now, let me just say that I’m still here. I’m still in relatively good health. I don’t feel like I’m going to keel over and croak any time soon. And I’m in relatively good hands with this doctor that I’ve been seeing, who has been a tremendous help in a province that is lacking in doctors that are genuinely helpful. I can tell you that, at the moment, I’m getting some stuff together – not just reviews, but also putting together a Ramble video to discuss the recent Nintendo Switch 2 details that have been brought up, along with some other things because let’s be honest – I’m more likely to get the minor things than a brand new system, especially at that price tag.
Right now, I’m aiming to resume video reviews next Monday (April 14th) and the goal is to resume the usual Monday-Wednesday-Friday upload cycle… but if I feel the need to scale things back in order to maintain some level of consistent upload schedule, then we’ll settle for two-a-week (Tuesday-Friday). Either way, I want to make sure that there’s some frequency of regular uploads on a weekly basis.
So this is where we’re at now. I’m sorry that things have been more pear-shaped than usual, but know that I’m doing whatever I need to do to get myself fixed up so I can get on with my life and also eventually get this place up and running to a respectable level. Please look forward to the day when that eventually happens.
And hey… if I manage a live stream somewhere along the way, you’ll know that we’re on the mend. Until then… take care.
But before you go, some house-keeping notes written before this whole spiel came into being.
PPV MUSINGS
Believe it or not, we’ve be kicked off April with not one, but two musings on recent PPVs that I saw this year; WWE’s Elimination Chamber show (the one with the John Cena turn) and AEW’s Revolution show, which does include some thoughts on the main event rematch that took place on Dynamite because of course, it does. From there, it’s a couple random shows here and there before we eventually get this year’s Ramblemania at the end of the month, but from there, I’m just going to be spotting some random shows that I’ve got here and there… and also, there’s that WCW YouTube channel that’s been uploading stuff as well.
No set schedule for these things. Whatever comes to mind comes to mind.
BACKLOGGING INFORMATION
It’s worth noting that, as of this month, this blog now has a little over 5,600 published posts worth of material, whether it’d be written, video, or pictorial. This includes a lot of current stuff being added as well as a lot of old stuff being restored as well. It is entirely possible that we may very well get this thing up to full capacity by the end of the year; by which point, we can focus on new memories being posted on here rather than bringing back old ones.*
– All 107 Classic Bite Commentaries are available for your reading pleasure… or lack thereof. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll question your faith in humanity. I do it every day.
– Added another 30-40 vintage comic reviews back into the fold, including some stuff that’s never seen the light of day. Some of these have seen some minor typo fixes, but other than that, the spirit remains the same.
– Also added a dozen vintage movie reviews with new fancy banners to boot.
– Restored most of the Tributes Of Sorts posts – the in memorium/obituary-esque posts to those who have passed on. The only ones still left to do are the ones that originally had short blurbs or video embeds that are no longer valid. The plan is to eventually do new rewrites for those few remaining entries.
That’s about it for today. See you next month.
* Don’t worry. If there’s any old stuff found that I’m sure hasn’t seen the light of day yet, you’ll find it here.
