CENA?! John Cena is now on Monday Night RAW. The Hek did not see that one coming. So, logic says that Smackdown's first pick will be Dave Batista. Then again, this is the WWE writing unit we are talking about.

Today, somebody from the Smackdown roster will be drafted onto Raw. Chris Jericho has already lined up the first interview with the new Raw talent. So, who could it be? The Hek is predicting that it will either be Carlito Caribbean Cool, Orlando Jordan, Big Show or, Charlie Haas. Also, Sandman and Tommy Dreamer are said to be on the show tonight. ECW, ECW, ECW.

It's funny when the children I teach try to knock me down with giant shaped mats. I just put my hand out and the force knocks them right on their asses. Kids are funny.

Just got back from Ottawa. Noel and Leslie got married and it was truly a wonderful event. I wish them nothing but the best.

I wonder if Tim enjoyed the concert.

The Hek

Still not dead.

Okay, the day is almost here. Of course I am talking about Noel and Leslie's wedding. This event has been in the works since November, 2003 and it is finally about to go down. The Hek will be in Ottawa from Thursday to Sunday. I also hope to see Tim who will be returning from England.

I am so excited. The Hek + Groomsmen Tuxedo = Money.

The Hek

Still not dead. Got sick though. Life has been turned upside down face. Whoops.

The Hek

No, I'm not dead. I just don't have internet. BTW, The Tony Danza Show is quality entertainment.

The Hek

This is it.

Another school year has come to an end. It feels like yesterday I said good bye to my soon to be ex-girlfriend and made my way to Ottawa for my third year of university. So much has happened since then. I got stronger, I got wiser, and I am a better man. Where has the time gone? All I have is one more year and then life as a university student is finished.

It's ironic, as this day approached, I was looking forward to it. But now, here it is and yet I don't feel so excited. Part of me is sad. I guess sometimes you come to love something you don't like. Truth is, I love Ottawa and I love Carleton. I just really hate school.

Okay, now that I am going home to Thronhill, the posts are going to be less frequent. So be sure to check in at least once a month or so.

To all The Hek's peeps in Toronto: Get ready. Next time we speak we will be on Thronhill time.

The Hek

So I wanted to be up at 8:00am today so I could get a good start before heading to CKCU at 10:00am. Of course, I did not set my alarm right and ended up waking up at 9:55am. Stupid alarm clock. Today my roommate Mark, my buddy Simon and myself were all suppose to go bowling. Simon was harping on me to do something on Thursday before I head back home. He told me on Tuesday that he was coming to my place at 1:00pm. He never showed. The guy calls me at 5:30pm saying that he was helping his mum move, broke something and they had to go to Ikea to fix it. Boourns. I really wanted to use my "excuse me miss, will you touch my balls for good luck" line at the bowling alley.

And what's with the WWE getting rid of Matt Hardy and Molly Holly. They're two of the best wrestlers on the roster. Matt makes no sense at all, he's injured. Not only that by he has to work with his ex-girlfriend Lita who cheated on him in real life with Edge, one of Matt's fellow co-workers. Then, there's Molly. She is the best female wrestler they have. But no, the WWE would rather have talentless Diva search contestants instead. Hopefully those two will land in NWA-TNA or maybe Japan.

The Hek

Well today I had my last radio show for the season and my last exam for the term. Both went extremely well. Today is also my friend Jen's birthday. She's partying it up right now at some Ottawa dance club. Unfortunately, I am not going because I am not a big fan of dance clubs, just not my type of atmosphere. However, she will be getting a nice birthday greeting.

Also, yesterday I studied by the Rideau River. It is the best spot on campus during the spring and summer months. Not only did I study, but I also was entertained by these four guys in a water craft who were going against the tide and trying to beat the rapids. Took them four tries before they fully cleared all the rapids.

The WEDNESDAY MORNING SPECIAL BLEND!!!

Be sure to tune in tomorrow as it will be my last show before the summer. If there is one thing I am going to miss, it would have to be the show. Never fear for I will be back in September.

I'll have the usual stuff: Music news, sports recap, entertainment and Byetowne listings, awesome tunes, plus much more.

Remember: Wednesday, 7-8am EST on CKCU 93.1 FM

The Hek

So you can't see Downfall at the Byetowne. What do you do?

You decide to head to the Rideau Centre where there is a three-screen Famous Players Theatre. The films are: Sahara, Million Dollar Baby and Miss congeniality 2. Now you have seen MDB, what do you watch?

Sahara!

Decent film, nothing special, does the J O B.

Looks like I went 3 for 8 in my Wrestlemania predictions last night. I totally forgot about Eddie vs. Rey. Aw well. What can you do.

In other news, the Blue Jays won their opener over Tampa Bay. WOOT! Props go out to Eric Hinske for his stellar play.

The Hek

Ahhhh. Nothing like writing a paper with a cool breeze blowing in. Alright, down to business.

Here it is ladies and gentlemen, The Hek's Wrestlemania 21 predictions. The winners will be:

- Dave Batista
- John Bradshaw Layfield
- Randy Orton (Although Stacey Keibler might do something causing Randy the match and allowing the Undertaker to go 13-0 at Wrestlemania)
- Kurt Angle (That's going to be the match of the night)
- Edge
- Christy Hemme by DQ (meaning she wins the match but not the belt)
- Big Show vs. Akebono will be a draw

Also I expect Hogan will be there. Maybe something with Hassan. Also, expect Austin to give the old Stone Cold Stunner to Roddy Piper.

The Hek

I've decided to swear off sex until I get married. It's just not worth it. Intercourse should be something special. Not some kind of cheap thrill. The bottom line is this, I'm keeping it in my pants. I, The Hek, hereby swear off sex.

APRIL FOOL'S SUCKERS!!!!!


The Hek

Some good news for you today. I have received my offer of residence accommodation which I means I will leaving at good old Carleton for my fourth and final year. The best part of this is I'll be in the same building, in the same suite and in the same room.

Also I have decided what I am going to write about for my Canadian Literature paper: The one and only Leonard Cohn. You know how it is. Looks like freedom but it feels like death.

The Hek

Yes! Did not get locked out of the station. I was also on for an additional 45 minutes. Best of all I found an MC Hammer album from 1988!!!

Here's the best part, ladies and germs. One of my profs announced that he was canceling the final exam we were suppose to have. Now that's a prof who gets my vote for best call ever.

Time to put a baseball team together. Let's see, A-Rod or Pujos?

Alright. Tomorrow: Wednesday Morning Special Blend.

Hopefully I won't get locked out. Cross your fingers and your toes. Say a little prayer.

Here I am in the good old Lanark Lab, working on my paper because if The Hek stays in his place too long, I get what you people call Cabin Fever. I am probably going to watch some comedy tonight. My only worry about that is how OC Transpo's Easter Holiday schedule is going to affect me. Apparently, the last O-Train from Carling to Carleton is 11:18pm. Normally, it's 12:03am. There are bus routes but they might be done when the comedy show is done. Wow, this is shaping up to be quite an adventure.

The Hek

For those who tuned in on Wednesday, allow me to explain why I was not on. Simply put, I got to the station and found out that it was locked and no one was inside at all. By the time I had gone through the proper channels and got in the station it was 7:57am. Now that, sucks.

The Hek

Pillar to Post and Coast to Coast. Be sure to tune into the Wednesday Morning Special Blend. I'll have the usual stuff as well as going over the results of the Genie Awards and also the Carleton Ravens who won their third straight national title in men's basketball.

Tim sends us these comments:

1. Happy Birthday Eric
2. I take issue with the outlandish comment that was left by Angelina, and I think your tone of your post doesn't help the argument you're trying to advance. Honestly, I don't see what's so harsh about Eric's comment. It's not hidden that their life probably sucks. I bet if you went up and asked them then and there, they'd tell you that their lives sucked bad. And the truth is that life is about choices, God gave us free will, and what happens is from the choices we made in the past. Obviously those girls who are pregnant at that age and have the "highs" from morning sickness... They made choices which brought them there. No, I don't think we should judge them or anything. We're in no place for that. But I think it's also stupid to play dumb too and pretend that there's no difference between the choices you/me made and those that they made. The truth is in the result, and the result is where we are right now. Angelina is off the mark here. Eric didn't pull any "better than thou, bullshit."

Here is Angelina's comments:

My post on Monday, March 14 has garnered quite a response. The Hek is no doubt pleased about this. One of the reasons why I post my thoughts is so that I can get people talking and reacting. It's sort of a need to be heard and not having what I say disappear in vain. My comments for this particular post were put together during my birthday as I was "walking the Earth." I wanted to take the time to reflect and I became another year older. It was in the McDonalds when my reflections became words and thoughts. It was those three people who caused it. Without further ado, here is what I said:

Here's your moment of perspective.

I was sitting in a McDonalds yesterday across from the Rideau Centre. Next to me were three people; two girls and a guy. Here is what I overheard from their conversation. Girl 1 was a drug addict with two kids (separate fathers BTW) and a boyfriend who just got out of jail. About 22 years old. She claimed that getting knocked up twice were "mistakes but, it happens, and that's all there is to it." Girl 2 who was probably 20 years old, maybe younger; happened to be pregnant. She asked Girl 1 about whether it hurt to give birth. Girl 1's response: "It hurts for a bit. But, once its done, you are on the biggest high. It's awesome. If the morning sickness gets to you, just smoke some weed. It's harmless. Just don't drink." The guy was sitting there making rants about politics and how he wished he lived somewhere other then Canada.

So, if you ever think that your life sucks, I want you to think about the three people I just mentioned. I want you all to realize that things for you could be much worse. Take pride that you made good choices in your life and have no regrets.

Here is the response I received from one of this blog's readers:

That's bullshit. I mean...just because those two girls are/were pregnant and they're not in the best of situations...It doesn't give you the right to compare your life to theirs and think you've made the best of choices in life. After all, you don't know their circumstances or their hardships. If any, they're stronger to live with their mistakes. Raising a child--let alone two is not an easy feat and NOT in your place to judge and compare your "good" choices to theirs.

That is such an insult. The worst possible situation is when you're dead. You shouldn't take pride in your choices in life--be it right or wrong. Take pride in the fact that you make mistakes and learn from them. What's the point in living a good life when you have no redeeming values? You live and you learn. The fact that you're fortunate in life doesn't give you the right to pull this "better than thou" bullshit. -end rant-

To Angel Lee: Thank you for your thoughts. You might not believe this, but I really do appreciate it. As for the rest of you who read this, I would love to get your reactions to the opinions expressed. Feel free to say somthing on the comment board.

The Hek is dealing with a nasty fever, totally ruining his fucking weekend. What makes things really bad were the hallucinations I had at 4am last fucking night. For some reason, I thought was surrounded with my fellow soldiers and a plague was reeking havoc in the trenches.

Then I started to have these dreams. The only one I can remember was where my buddy Owen and I took these two girls out to some medieval fair in Ottawa. For some reason I kept saying it was like the CNE which, was not true at all. Then, we're in a restaurant and I look to see the Museum of Civilization has been moved from Gatineau to some fucking forest. And, for some stupid reason, it was being called "York Hospital." That's just messed up.

The real bad thing about being sick is the huge amount of time you are all alone. When I get lonely, I get sad and start to think about things that I don't really want to think about. Fucking fever.

I think I am developing a crush on Judy Garland. Too bad she's been dead for thirty years.

I was watching The Rise and Fall of ECW last night. Brought back a lot of memories. Now there was a wrestling company that never sucked at what they did. People say Vince McMahon is the most important man in the history of wrestling. I disagree. The most important man in the history of wrestling, without a shadow of a doubt was Paul Heyman. Paul E. gave wrestling a much needed re-birth in 1993. Without his work in ECW, WWE would not be what it is today. The whole era of Attitude would have never taken place without the insanity that went on in a bingo hall in Philly.

Speaking of which, I miss the Blue World Order. Remember the good old days when Stevie Richards (now Steven), Nova (now Simon Dean) and the Blue Meanie (now much slimmer) were running around with their wacky shannigans?

The Hek

Now this, is news!

The WWE announced that an episode of the famous Piper's Pit will be held at Wrestlemania 21. And who will Roddy Piper be interviewing, Stone Cold Steve Austin. That's who.

So let's see...

Last night, I had this dream.

I was sitting at my computer and in the span of two minutes, I found out that many of my friends and acquaintances - who, mean a lot to me - were heading over to Iraq, at the height of war, to write stories about it. There I was, so safe and so far away from any danger; and yet I was the only one scared. I was scared that they would all be killed. I was scared that I would be all by myself forever.

Right now, I am staring at the book I am currently reading, The Wars by Timothy Findley. There's a character who sits underneath a table while his headquarters is being bombed by the Germans. He turns to Robert Ross and says "Isn't it marvelous."

There are three things I dream about:

1. Doing my show at CKCU and everything goes wrong.
2. Going to a Blue Jays game and getting lost on the way.
3. Something to do with death and the people I care most about.

In the words of ECW commentator Joey Styles: OH MY GOD!!!!!

The Hek has just returned from watching the NBA Slam Dunk competition. It was off the f**king chart! Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks not only won the contest but, has taken the art of the slam dunk to the EXTREME! Smith took the ball, jumped over Kenyon Martin of the Denver Nuggets who was sitting in front of the net on a chair and, put it in the net! Amare Stodamire of Phoenix Suns also had a sick dunk. It goes like this: the ball goes off the backboard, off Steve Nash's head, into the hands of Stodamire who takes it home. I am so worked up right now, I have to do some Tai Chi to calm down.

Congrats also to Steve Nash who won the skills competition.

Guess what The Hek found out yesterday.

The Hek was going through imdb.com and came across this new film called The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy. The movie has a character named Zaphod Beeblebrox. There is a bar here in Ottawa with that same name. And, The Hek has always wondered how the bar's owner ever came up with that name. Now, The Hek knows. And knowing is half the battle, in bed.

Arthur Miller died today, he was 89 years old.

I am a bit sad about this because I have a very close connection to this man. My first performance for my high school drama club was in one-act play called "Accidental Death of A Salesman." The story was essentially about Willy Loman meeting his creator, Arthur Miller. I played the role of Miller and for two months, I researched and investigated this man's life. It also helped that I was reading "Death of A Salesman" in English class. He was an interesting man. Wrote plays and married Marilyn Monroe. The theatre has lost a great one. May he rest in peace.

Here is what a prof told myself and my fellow classmates yesterday:

"The main idea to remember about society is that existence sucks. You're born and then you die and that's pretty much it. So, how do we combat this awful reality. We combat it with four simple things; booze, sex, drugs and, religion."

Funny. You can have all the PhD's in the world and all the intellect; and look what you get.

Well the Patriots won the Super Bowl again. I guess it is now time to use the word DYNASTY when describing them. How is it that Tom Brady can be so perfect? The half time show was pretty good. A little toned down but, that was expected.

After the game The Hek watched "American Dad." It was okay, not fully funny. The Hek needs to watch a couple more episodes before he makes a judgment. The Hek's not too crazy about this new show following the "Family Guy" formula very closely when it comes to the main characters.

In conclusion, The Hek ate too much of the good food Noel and Leslie made. The Hek would also like to thank Noel and Les for the awesome Buffalo Bills band-aids he got as part of the festivities. The Hek cannot wait for the next time he cuts himself and uses them.

BTW: If you are in the Ottawa area tomorrow night, come on out and watch the Carleton Improv Association. We are doing a show in Commons Grill which is located in the Residences Commons building at Carleton University. Show starts at 7:30pm. It's going to be OFF THE CHART.

10:00am: The Hek wakes up
11:00am: The Hek gets a call from CKCU asking him to fill in from 1-3pm. The Hek accepts!
11:30am: The Hek goes to the doctor so he can have a bandage for his injured toe changed.
12:30pm: After waiting for an hour, The Hek is forced to leave and go to CKCU. The nurse tells him to come back later before 5:30pm.
12:40pm: The Hek arrives at CKCU and gets ready for show.
1:00pm: The Hek goes on air and has a great two hour show. Apparently, people in the CKCU office were dancing when The Hek played "Jive Talkin."
3:00pm: The Hek finishes his show and then helps his friend Chia with a computer program she is deigning for CKCU. The Hek also grabs a beagle, the second thing he has eaten today. A granola bar was the first.
3:30pm: The Hek zooms to the library to photo copy some notes for a friend who missed Tuesday's film lecture.
4:00pm: The Hek goes to his Canadian Literature class. Does his presentation on "The Luck of Ginger Coffee" and bolts for the doctor's office.
4:30pm: The arrives at the Doctor's office and waits.
4:45pm: A nurse changes The Hek's bandages and now he has to go back there on Friday.
5:00pm: The Hek arrives home, votes in the RRRA election and eats dinner.

That's it. That's all. Baby goes to sleep.

Today the Toronto Blue Jays announced that the Skydome will now be known as the Rogers Centre. The Rogers Centre? You have to be kidding me. For those of you who don't know, Rogers is a tele-communications corporation who owns a million things like the Blue Jays. The Hek does not mind if Rogers wants there name on the stadium but, calling it a 'centre?' What's that all about? Why not just call it the Rogers Skydome? That sounds much better. Well, another new thing to get use to. Maybe the new name will get the team to win more games.

Thanks to everyone who sent me their predictions. Enjoy the Super Bowl.

On the next Wednesday Morning Special Blend, The Hek will have the music news, sports report, poem of the day and entertainment/movie listings. I am also going to be talking about the Super Bowl! Here's where you come in:

Feel free to send me your Super Bowl predictions to the show's e-mail address; I'll read it on the air. Send your predictions to wednesdayblend@hotmail.com. You don't even have to like football. Base your prediction of on which team (New England Patriots or Philadelphia Eagles) has the better name, better location, better looking dance pack, etc. It is so simple; just pick which of the two teams will win.

I need to get a DVD copy of The Greg Louganis Story with A.C Slater as Greg.

Ever notice how the week goes by fast. HA! How many times has The Hek said that before on this blog? Anyway, The Hek's good buddy Simon Seline came by for a visit. It was good to see him. I never thought I would ever say this but Simon actually dropped off the face of the Earth. The Hek had two reasons for this: one, Simon was going to school all day and working all night; or two, he got married to a girl named Suzy Q. and moved to South Dakota. However, no matter what happened it was good to see him. Interesting fact, Simon was the second Carleton person The Hek ever met. Remember that. It's going to be on the test.

Bill to Beatrix: "I over-reacted."

Gold, pure gold.

The fact that this movie was snubbed with the Oscar nominations is a crime against humanity. It is like God himself, not getting any props for creating the world.

Apparently a scientist in England did some calculations and is now stating that today is the worst and most depressing day of the year. The reasons for this include: 1. The fact that by now, people have given up on their new year's resolutions; 2. Everyone's credit card bills from the holiday break are coming in; and 3. The weather is shit.

Can't say The Hek disagrees. Except for the credit cards. The Hek has no credit cards.

The Hek

Will someone please explain to The Hek how it is possible that The Hek waits at the Hurdman station for the number four to take him home for thirty minutes while the 95 Orleans shows up three times?

That just ain't right.

The Hek would also like to wish Rebecca a very happy birthday.

Another week bites the bust! It goes faster then yours truly with "the runs."

The Hek is sitting in a computer lab on a beautiful Friday morning. There's only about four other people with him. Everybody is typing away. Typing away as if there lives depended on it. Normally, I would be home at my own computer. However, once again fire alarm testing had to be done. This time, instead of the normal two hours, they will be testing that darn system for almost the entire day. Therefore, I need to find things to do.

So far, The Hek had breakfast, and I will probably go to the doctor's office. Then, at 1pm The Hek's going to head over to CKCU and help out there. This brings us to 3pm. Hopefully, everything will be done; so, I'll go take a nap.

I could go do that; or, maybe I'll just stay here and play with my self.

The Hek

Yes! Fresh Prince rules, baby!

Funny thing happened to The Hek today. I forgot to wear a belt. Usually I always wear one but today, through some cosmic incident I did not wear it. Some how, some way, my pants stayed up and didn't fall. That's what I call, CRAZY GO NUTS!

The Hek

Well, today is Tuesday; and you know what that means. It means that tomorrow is Wednesday which means, you should not forget to tune into the most electrifying hour in radio today: The Wednesday Morning Special Blend.

On tomorrow's show, Noel and I will be celebrating the fact that we have been doing this show for two years now. We are also going to talk about why I should NEVER EVER make NFL Playoff predictions again. Plus there will be the usual Tom Foolery. It's never a dull moment.

Today's Lesson: Don't mess with The Hek!

There is one thing The Hek will not tolerate, cold showers. For the last few months, getting hot water in my suite was as hard as finding Bigfoot. Many times, Carleton maitenance came to my place, worked on some things and, encouraged me that everything was fixed. Yet, time and time again, I would step into the shower and be forced to have ice cold water splash on MY F**KING BALLS!

Today was no exception. However, it would appear that someone could read my mind. After I came home class, there was a nice letter waiting for me. It was Carleton residence who apologized and offered me a handsome credit on my account.

Score one for The Hek.

12:00am: McGuyver
1:00am: Mork and Mindy
1:30am: Mork and Mindy

Meanwhile nothing new to report on my experiment from Friday. No allergies here.

The Hek

Today's exciting EXPERIMENT:

The Hek eats lots and lots of baby scrimp to see if he is allergic to it.

I have never had scrimp before. There must have been a reason for this. Therefore, I will put my body to the test to see if scrimp swims down my system gracefully or, wages war on my insides.

So far, nothing to report.

The Hek

Good grief.

The Hek had a little too much to eat tonight. Gluttony was on my mind, I guess. Let's see, I had two tacos, two soft tacos, two slices of pizza, two cookies, some Spanish rice, some beef and an apple. There has to be tons of trans fats in all that.

Aw, well. What doesn't kill you makes you strong like bull.

The Hek

The following is a conversation that took place between The Hek and a Doctor who just finished medical school and is now in residence at a local Ottawa hospital. For those that are wondering, The Hek went in for a consultation because my f**king toe still has not healed. Anyway, here is the conversation.

Doctor: Okay The Hek, I am going to prescribe for you some medication to bring the swelling down.
The Hek: Sounds good to me.
Doctor: Alright let me just print it.....here you go.
The Hek: Thank you.........Wait a second, this isn't my prescription.
Doctor: What?
The Hek: Look, it's a prescription for someone named Lesley Theires.
Doctor: Oh! It is. Well you are clearly not Lesley and you probably won't want her birth control pills either. Sorry about that.
The Hek: No problem.

You gotta love medical students. Just before the conversation two other students came in. They looked at my toe and said, "Wow, that has got to hurt" and "Ew, gross."

And The Hek is proud to report that he got a B on his 18 page paper.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!

The Hek is back; safe and sound in good old Ottawa, Ontario, Canada after a very relaxing 18 day vacation. Let me you tell you something, brothers and sisters. This holiday break was off the Hizzel fo Shizzel, and in 2005, things are going to come alive.

And what better way to kick off the new year by tuning into the WEDNESDAY MORNING SPECIAL BLEND. The Hek guran-damn-tees it will be a great show with lots to talk about. Be sure to tune in. You will not regret it.

Thanks for the question, Steve.

It will be interesting to see how the two Williams pan out for the Raptors. I not familiar with their stats but, it seems they're good at rebounding which is something the Raptors need. As for Zo Mourning. I really don't know what he can do for the Raptors. He is way past his prime. I have a bad feeling that this is going to be just like when Hakeem played for the Raptors; a big name player, way past his prime, who did nothing but sat on the bench and get injured.

The Hek is heading back home for the holidays. I can't wait!!!!

The Hek

Be sure to tune into the Wednesday Morning Special Blend, tomorrow morning. It will be the last time The Hek will be on before his much deserved two week vacation. Noel and I will have all the usual Tom Foolery that is always expected. Think of it as the best show in the world to wake up to. It's like caffeine for the mind........poured into your ears.

The Hek finished his first essay today. One down, one to go.

I am very pleased to find out the Corey Koske has signed a deal with the Blue Jays. What this means is that Koske will take third base and Eric Hinske will move to first base. The main question for the 2005 season is who is going to step up now that Delgado is gone.

That's all for now. Time to watch the "Fat Albert Christmas Special.'

The Hek

Yesterday The Hek slept for 13 hours straight. I woke up in the early afternoon and prepared to go to the library for some studying. As I left, I looked out the window and said to myself, "That's the only time today I am going to see sunlight." It starts to get darker earlier and earlier these days. Now, it is winter so, it is normal for that to happen. However, it is getting dark at 3pm; that is not normal. Maybe, the end is near.
