It felt like we were walking into our own home. There was music playing softly in the background, there was a fire in the fireplace and just felt warm and welcoming. You can find us there almost every Sunday drinking our coffee and enjoying life. We have certainly found our favorite coffee house to chill at! The atmosphere is like none other, they have outdoor seating and multiple rooms for you to sit in.

But they do so much more than just coffee! They have Open Mic nights, and have regular musical guests. You can enjoy baked goods with your coffee as well! We find the multiple kinds of quiche quite delicious!

You can also get a sandwich with potato salad if you want something a little bigger.

All around Latte Da is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee, or two Or if you’re into tea, they got ya covered as well!

If you’re in the area, check em out! Visit their website OR Like them on Facebook!

I remember when Scott Hall walked onto Monday Nitro through the crowd acting like Razor Ramon (having made his last appearance in WWF on May 19, 1996 and showing up in WCW on May 27th, 1996), they made it appear as though WWF was coming in to take over WCW, and this was the start of the nWo, “The New World Order of Professional Wrestling”. During an era of WWF when cartoon like characters were “top”, WCW had guys using their real names and they were using cutting edge story lines. Th battle for number 1 went on for 5 years, from September 4, 1995 until Vince McMahon and the WWF bought WCW on March 26, 2001. That was the night Pro Wrestling changed forever.

WWF (Later changed to WWE) has been the only major Pro Wrestling Promotion/Company that has main stream TV exposure, and boy did they take that for granted! Story lines became lax and things really got hard to watch, but because they are the best (and only one) at what they do, it’s hard not to watch.

But, in 2002 TNA (Total Nonstop Action) Wrestling was founded, they were a small regional promotion for a long time, they held weekly Pay Per Views (111 in 27 months). It took them 4 years to get on TV break and they started airing TNA iMPACT on Fox Sports Net. WWE Finally had some kind of competition! Except that TNA was an unknown promotion.

TNA has done just about everything to get attention, they brought in several former WWE wrestlers, Hulk Hogan, Ken Anderson, Jeff Hardy, Mick Foley(who returned to WWE). But the reason TNA hasn’t made a big splash in the water is the quality of their programming. Sadly, it’s sub-par at best.

WWE has long been the only Wrestling company on TV, and because of that TNA will need to up their game vastly in order to really become a threat to WWE.

WWE absolutely needs some kind of big player competition so they can be more successful, when you are the only one doing what you do, you can do anything you want and get away with it. This includes making bad TV. If it’s not TNA that comes to the challenge, there needs to be another company that will.

Check out my post about TNA

So, I’m asking the internet this question, What is the best hardware on a budget for a MythTV Backend/Frontend Combo? Or if it will work better, Backend and front end separated.

Or, if you don’t suggest MythTV, What do you suggest?

Which would leave him open to exit the company if he so desired. Now, this got me thinking.. WWE has recently started airing the “Revolution is coming” vignettes, it could be Matt Morgan.

The only downside to this idea is that WWE would REALLY have to know Matt is done with his contractual obligations with TNA. Unless this is one of those things they are going to drag out for a month, which is a real possibility too.

Either way, this fan is curious who is making their big entrance!

Here is out the area looked last fall.

This whole area was pretty dead when it came to things growing. Only a few non-eatable plants were growing. However, I wanted food to be produced out of this area. So I started tearing stuff up and putting down fertilizer and other compost soil.

Last fall I tore out everything and took a rake to the soil to open it up and get some moisture into the ground, as it was bone dry several inches down.

Then, the first decent day we had in February, I went through and added some compost soil and miracle grow soil and use a hand tiller to mix everything up. the soil was starting to look decent at this point. It was no longer dry, I could actually pick it up and feel the weight of the soil.

I decided that the area that I had wasn’t enough for what I wanted to grow. So, I started working on taking out part of the shrub and a tree stump. Which by the way, was a freaking task. It literally took me from 9am until around 4pm or so to get everything dug out and cut up.

Here is a mid process picture..

As I proceeded with the removal things, the process got a little tougher because I ended up with roots running everywhere. I pulled and cut out what I could. After I removed everything I could, I found that the soil was way to unusable for this year, seeing as I took a tree out, all the soil is very loose and has no stability. If you step on it you sink pretty deep. I will let the soil rest until fall and then I’m going to put compost soil and some cow manure on it to add nutrients to the soil.

I attempted to get corn to grow from seed but that didn’t work out very well, so I went to my local Fred Meyer Garden center and grabbed a few trays of corn that was grown in a green house. In the picture below I have corn, broccoli, cucumbers, romaine lettuce, red lettuce, Early Girl tomato plant, big beef tomato plant and cherry tomatoes. IF everything grows and produces a lot of food, I will be VERY happy.

Here is my whole garden area, I didn’t have enough space to put everything in one space, so I improvised. In the area to the right, I have onion shoots, pole beans, lavender plants, parsley, oregano and some potatoes in the soil. I have not gotten lemon cucumbers yet, which I will be getting in the coming days.

So far, I have gotten everything I want taken care of. Now I just need to let things happen and let nature take its course.

Thanks for reading!! I will be posting some more information and maybe even a garden webcam in the coming days.

Since today is “Star Wars Day”… It is only right that I share my favorite Lightsaber battle. Viewed more than 6 millions times… I give you, Ryan Vs. Dorkman.

Skies always blue.

Flower-strewn pathways

All our lives though:

God hath not promised

Sun without rain,

Joy without sorrow,

Peace without pain.

But God hath promised

Strength for the day;

Rest for the labor,

Light for the way;

Grace for the trials;

Help from above;

Unfailing sympathy

Undying Love…..

It tastes very similar to Red Bull but to me it tastes like there is blue berry or something in it.
All in all, pretty good stuff.

As you may, or may not know Brock Lesnar returned to WWE tonight (as previously reported earlier in the day). Brock showed up in Miami yesterday after landing in Fort Lauderdale to try and sneak in to the area for tonight. Then WWE posted the facebook post of “Anything can happen the Monday after Wrestlemania”

I wasn’t expecting Brock to come out and attack John Cena, BUT it would make for a good storyline. Brock and John Cena has some pretty insane matches back in the day. I am really hoping that there is an angle for Brock to headline Wrestlemania XXIX in NY/NJ.

I think that Brock will definitely be in the WWE for at least a year (I doubt they would sign him to anything shorter than that), however rumor has it Brock is not a fan of the heavy touring schedule that WWE has for its superstars and that Brocks new contract has him doing much less travel than other stars. I would imagine it has him doing RAW each week and possibly a few Smackdown shows and not so many live events (house shows).

Here is to hoping that Brock still has the “Wrestler” in him. After all the MMA Fight Training he went through, I wonder how much of that style he would bring with him into WWE, Only time will tell.

Here is the video that WWE has up on their site of Brock attacking John Cena.
