Happy New Year and Hello everyone! It’s Matt. How are you doing today? I hope you are doing well and continuing to fight for a brighter day! I wanted to discuss a few changes I had in mind for my blog going into 2016. I know I this year I wasn’t as consistent as I should have been with I’ve Got An Issue. I should have had one every week, but life happened. New opportunities present themselves, work was heavy, life dropped blessings & lessons, and I realized how short time is even on a day off. Time moves very quickly y’all! So I apologize to anyone who checked my blog every Friday, Saturday, or Sunday for a new I’ve Got An Issue. I am attempt to be more consistent in 2016 on my blog.
I have to give a big shoutout to the 59 people following this blog. I really appreciate it. I thought I wouldn’t get pass ten followers tops on here! Y’all are the real MVPS for that. You guys are one more reason I want to produce more content for y’all next year. Some of it will be for you to read and possibly hear next year. Yes hear! I also want to build a better relationship with all of you. I mean we should work together right?! We should throw feedback to one another too! So I’ll definitely be checking out some of your writings. This isn’t a follow for follow blog. It’s not about the numbers, it’s about your content! I’ll be dropping in on some of your blogs more often in 2016. Who knows one of y’all can end up being my favorite in 2016!
NOW on to the changes that may come in 2016!
MONTHLY REVIEWS
THIS IS THE BIG ONE! Let’s face it I love reviewing! I find this unusual joy of sharing my opinions about whatever I just watched, read, heard or even ate. SO I AM PUTTING IT INTO EXISTENCE THAT 2016 I WILL PRODUCE AT LEAST ONE REVIEW A MONTH OF SOMETHING. This may be hard for me, but I really want to do this. I feel like I am very capable of doing a review a month so why not at least try to do it you know? I am thinking mostly anime and movies since I have a formula for both (I’m still tweaking the movies formula too). This does not mean I will not be reviewing music, video games, books or food either. I did music before with Sam Smith’s album, but I did that out of pure depression and love. I love music too much to not review it too. I NEED TO REVIEW VIDEO GAMES…SIMPLE AS THAT. AS MUCH AS I GAME, I SHOULD BE REVIEWING THAT IS ALL. Books will be weird to review because I’d have to figure out a way to review it without spoiling anything. Food…well that’s the wildcard, I just thought of doing that haha. Conveying how food tastes with my words is going to be fun! So look forward to Monthly Reviews because it is going to happen, I AM GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
Next Anime Review?!
Once I finished FLCL, I was supposed to watch another show, but life caught me…and laziness. SO the next anime review is going to be Golden Boy in January! It was supposed to follow FLCL right after I reviewed it, but I screwed up and did something else. I screwed up! I take the blame for that. Golden Boy is January mark that down! SO many more reviews to come!
I’VE GOT AN ISSUE
I’VE GOT AN ISSUE IS HERE TO STAY! The series is going to continue! The only tweak I have to deliver is I want to get it on time. All those weeks off, I had Issues with a lot of stuff and I didn’t write about it. Shame on me. I am considering making an email for people to send their issues to so I can post them here just in case I don’t have one this week. Yes you get all the spotlight and credit for that Issue! Just let whatever or whoever have it! I’ll protect your anonymity! I’VE GOT AN ISSUE WILL BE ON TIME AND READY FOR 2016!
POEMS
I know plenty of my followers like my poems. I’ll be honest I haven’t wrote many poems after I posted my last one. I will still post them on here, but I just do not know when. Just be on the look out I guess. You never know when one will pop up!
YOUTUBE
My brother & I have been discussing this since the start of the year. I think once we get everything in order, we will be starting a youtube channel! I will be posting videos from our channel on here if we ever start. YOU GUYS GET TO SEE OR HEAR ME AT LEAST IF WE START THE CHANNEL! I cannot make any promises about this. It is just a possibility!
PODCAST
For a couple years, I wanted to do a podcast and 2016 may make that a reality. My cousin and I are thinking of starting up a podcast next year dealing with love, relationships, entertainment, nonsense, and whatever we want to talk about really. We are still deciding on a name, but I want that to drop once I get my microphones stuff! I’ll be posting the links to those podcast episodes here too! It will work just like I posted my last music project here. Another possibility!
SHORT STORIES
I may or may not surprise you in 2016! My short stories may or may not make an appearance next year. That is all.
LISTS
There were no lists this year…that sucks. THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OF LISTS IN 2016! The first list will be in January. It will be my top ten favorite albums of 2015. I need time to listen to all ten again to decide the order and which I loved the most. So It will probably drop in the second or third week of January. It is gonna happen! Poor barren category has nothing in it 😦
Pro Wrestling
The final deal. We’ll I’ve been thinking of starting another blog up just for my pro wrestling thoughts! I could keep them here, but I noticed a lot of people don’t really read those. SO a blog dedicated to pro wrestling would be more sufficient. I may run that blog with a couple of friends or we may just make a podcast or something. I have no idea! It is just an idea for now! Don’t worry if you like my thoughts on pro wrestling, they will still be here…for now whenever I decide to write about them.
That’s all folks! I just wanted to touch base and let y’all know what was coming in 2016! Bless you all! Bless up! I hope everyone enjoys their day and have a wonderful 2016!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Today is about Subway. I could talk about how Jared Fogle is a twisted individual who seriously needs to be punished for preying on children, but I think I just summed that up. He is disgusting human being that needs a max sentence for being a child molester and overall pervert. I hope justice is served and he doesn’t get a slap on the wrist. Sick sick man. I’m glad Subway has cut all ties with him, but he will forever be the subway guy the sick sick subway guy who was trying to get in kids pants. Sick man.
Instead, I want to talk about a particular commercial by Subway that touched a nerve with me. it’s one of their new commercials I’m sure you have seen it if you have a television. If not don’t fear, I have it for you here courtesy of youtube.
Can you tell me what is wrong with this commercial?
Before you say anything, I understand how commercials work. You are selling a product or an experience so people can come. You are trying to attract them to your place of business so they can spent some money. I get it. However, the glaring problem with this commercial is the experience is not genuine. It won’t be worldwide. Selling the sandwich is one thing, but selling a false experience on how one should be greeted and served via commercial is hilariously incorrect. Seriously that commercial is funny after a couple watches.
Be honest with yourselves, what fast food establishment is that jovial? I can answer this question. I know three places where the energy is always happy or cheery. Chick Fil A, Canes, and Five Guys. Those are the main three fast food establishments I will occasionally go to if I have the time to go and if I feel like spending the money to eat their food instead of cooking. Every other well known establishment isn’t like that. It is more along the lines of “what do you want, give me your money, and get out”. “Welcome to [Insert establishment here] is a rarity if you aren’t at those three places I mentioned. The enthusiasm isn’t there like “I’m happy to serve you food today!” it is more like work ESPECIALLY at Subway! Going inside of a Subway is like giving up your right to make a sandwich at home with no excitement and tired employees. It is like going to a high school cafeteria except you get to tell the lunchlady exactly what you want (in my experience I only had one lunchlady in my schooling who was excited to see and serve you food like the dude in the commercial) while she blankly stares at your bad decision sandwich. Meatball marinara with extra cheese no veggies slathered in mayo and mustard. Come on kid get it together. I know it is petty of me to point it out, but that commercial is a liar. I don’t like liars.
Also, what fast food establishment offers suggestions on what you should get on YOUR order? The answer to this question is none. Go to like McDonalds or Burger King and just stare at the cashier expecting he or she to tell you what to get on your Big McWhooper 2.0. The cashier is just going to wait till you make a move. You have to tell them what you want. In the commercial, the lady says what sandwich she wants and he begins to build it, but the recommendation part towards the end doesn’t work that way. I don’t believe a sandwich artist is suppose to suggest something unless the customer asks “What do you suggest?”. This is when they can say “hey let’s put red onion on here” and you can either agree or disagree. This is the part when you can build or rock your sandwich together Subway. By the way Subway, that never happens. NEVER. “Let’s try this toasted with monterey cheddar” You are a liar because that sentence wouldn’t ever come out the sandwich artist’s mouth unless you ask what should be on there. “How about we spice this up a little bit with red onions and sweet onion sauce” more like I may have an onion allergy and you shouldn’t be telling me what I want on my dang on sandwich. “You can lead, I’ll back you up” you damn right I’m gonna lead because the only backup is you to back up off of me with all these unneeded suggestions friend I didn’t ask for this.
My point is Subway sell the sandwich or the deal. Please don’t try sell a fabricated experience because people who take commercials seriously will be expecting a sandwich artist to make suggestions on the customer’s sandwich at every Subway location. I don’t eat there. I’m just pointing it out because it made me laugh at how far from the truth that commercial is. Fast food places just aren’t cheery. Nothing is wrong will selling great customer service, but if reality differs from the sell then we have a problem. A problem that is going to make me laugh.
Let’s rock this sandwich together if I ask for a suggestion ok?
Hello all wrestling fans!!!! How are you today!? I hope you are feeling great and excited because tonight is grandest night of them all, it is our Superbowl, March Madness, World Cup, Stanley Cup Finals, and NBA Finals in one amazing night it is Wrestlemania baby!!! The closing chapter to last years storylines, new beginnings, and surprises! Who knows what may happen tonight?!
Tonight is special so are these predictions!!! It isn’t just me this time I brought in a guest with me! Oh yes, not any ordinary guest, I brought in my blood brother Josh aka Shino Phoenix! My first ever guest and I wouldn’t have it any other way! We recorded our predictions at the crack of midnight. Edited for your reading pleasure because rambling. You can view it after this intro! Two different predictions, one grand show! Let’s get right into it!
Oh I do owe the readers an explanation on why Wrestling Wednesdays and the other predictions stopped, but that will show up on the next update for the website.
Enjoy Wrestlemania 31 & these predictions with my brother!!!
Wrestlemania!!!
MC Zero X: Hello everyone it’s Matt aka MC Zero X, I am doing something special, I am going transcribe this recording I am doing with my brother that’s right! First ever guest predictions piece! We’re going to get into everything today, but first off what do you want to be called today?
Shino Phoenix: Well you can call me whatever you want, but call me Shino.
MCZX: We’ll call you Shino Phoenix! Pretty much we are going through the entire Wrestlemania 31 card. I think…this one is going to be a really good show….I have to work, but that’s besides the point. Let’s just jump right into Wrestlemania 31. Let’s start with the pre show because there are two matches on the pre show this year.
Fatal Four Way Tag Team Match: Tyson Kidd and Cesaro (c) (with Natalya) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) (with Xavier Woods) vs. Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando) (with El Torito) vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) (with Naomi)
MCZX: Let’s start with my guest, let’s hear his predictions and analysis I guess on who he thinks will win the match
SP: TO me, I think Tyson Kidd & Cesaro will retain. I mean they faced Los Matadores a lot of times and pretty much got their skills hands down. The New day are just here to entertain the audience if you think about it. They are just kind of meh-ish. And The Usos, the only problem they have to worry about is Jey’s shoulder. I’m giving it to Tyson Kidd & Cesaro because they earned it.
MCZX: So you’re going with Tyson Kidd & Cesaro
SP: Yeah, let’s hear yours
MCZX: I have a feeling just for the freebird rule to be back in effect, as much as I don’t like the New day, they might give it to the New day just to have the freebird rule. If they were smart I think they would have Tyson Kidd & Cesaro are gonna retain. My pick is Tyson Kidd & Cesaro. I don’t see any of these three teams taking the belts away for any reason. IF the Ascension were in this maybe I’d say them, but since they aren’t in this I’m just going to stick with Tyson & Cesaro. They have been doing good work and the tag team should stick together a little longer.
The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
MCZX: I hope the winner of this one will actually elevate someone’s career. I’m going to go to Shino here what is your prediction of this match?
SP: I’ve been wanting to get into this for a long long time. This is a really tough one.
MCZX: It is!
SP: I want to start with Hideo Itami first. Yeah he’s upcoming, a rising star, moving up a little bit slowly. If he wins that it would elevate him even more, not just in NXT, but the main roster spot as well. I want to give it to Mizdow for a big slap in the face to the Miz, but then you have Curtis Axel. Who doesn’t like Axelmania to be running wild?
MCZX: People who don’t like Curtis Axel obviously.
SP: That’s a good one. If I had to pick an actual winner…am I forgetting someone? Oh yeah Ryback.
MCZX: Yes Ryback’s the wild horse.
SP: Yeah. I mean he has never held a title. Why not give him a trophy huh? That would elevate him for title shots and give him more opportunities. I like Ryback just give him an opportunity! If I had to choose I’m going with Hideo Itami.
MCZX: So you are going with a top NXT guy?
SP: Pretty Much!
MCZX: OK! I think Axelmania is going to run wild and they are going to play off of this. The Mizdow/ Miz thing should have been a separate match on the pre-show. Anyway, I see Mizdow possibly winning this to prove he is better than the Miz, but I feel like the Miz will cost the Mizdow the match leading to Mizdow getting his revenge on the Raw after mania. Ryback would be interesting…he would be a good fit to win, Hideo Itami winning this would be very interesting. To play it safe, I would pick Ryback to win this, but in my heart I want Axelmania to run wild!
MAIN SHOW
AJ Lee and Paige vs. The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella)
MCZX: Personally, I feel like if we are going to do a tag match like this we should at least have divas tag titles or something. To me, this match feels like the Bella twins are going to get their comeuppances or AJ & Paige are going to blow up again. I think this would be so much better if the divas had their own tag division and the girls would have more time to wrestle. This could also lead to more time on the show. Their is potential there. They don’t have to just escort Snoop Dogg to the ring. My prediction for this one is AJ Lee & Paige. It’s about time the Bellas finally lose. I would prefer for this to be a fatal four way for the title. The Brie and Nikki thing never got explained. I mean siblings do forgive each other, but come on Nikki deserved a kick in the ass. I know this will be a good tag team match even if the majority audience does not pay attention. I hope women’s wrestling finally gets a chance this year in 2015 and not reduced to just tag team matches. The title should be on the line at Wrestlemania and that’s the bottom line.
SP: Here’s how I want this to happen. Yeah I want AJ Lee & Paige to take it. I’m sick of the Bella twins already! The best way to end this match would have Brie turn on her sister during the match getting payback on the grandest stage of them all. Not only that, she’ll go for the Divas title versus her sister. It would be a perfect storyline to me. We should have had a Fatal Four Way like NXT, but more interesting. AJ Lee & Paige will win because they are better wrestlers than the Bellas.
MCZX: Ok! Ok! I hope the NXT divas are on the rise and reform the whole divas division. Make it wrestling. You can entertain and be wrestlers at the same time!
Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins (with Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble)
MCZX: I’m going to go…damn it…I’m going to go with Seth Rollins. The reason I’m picking Seth Rollins is Orton has nothing to gain from beating Seth Rollins. Orton already beat the crap out of him on Monday night Raw so why would Orton beat Rollins on the grandest stage of them all? Wouldn’t that hurt Rollins? Rollins wins this match elevating his career and hey his streak will still be alive. Shino what do you got?
SP: It wouldn’t make sense for Orton to beat Rollins after he dismantled him on Raw. Seth Rollins deserves it. I don’t care if you Randy Orton disagree with me or not, so Rollins has to pay the favor to Orton.
MCZX: I see a curb stomp at the end of this match and Rollins riding high with a victory at Wrestlemania on Orton. He can’t take that away from him.
SP: Exactly!
Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match: Bad News Barrett (c) vs. R-Truth vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Stardust vs. Daniel Bryan
SP: Very interesting match. Alright there is only two people I see to win that. Dean Ambrose and Daniel Bryan. Now for Daniel Bryan, this is my concern, his neck. This is a big disadvantage for him because if he messes up once or there is one mishap, his career could be over. I don’t understand why give him a ladder match when he could have won a number contendership match on Raw between Dolph & Dean to face the champion. If I had to pick one—
MCZX: You have to pick one!
SP: I will pick Daniel Bryan. He can overcome the odds even if that’s an injury. He can still get back up again. I mean he never held the Intercontinental title like Dean Ambrose. I’ll give it to Daniel Bryan because he will bring prestige to the belts. So it will be important.
MCZX: If Daniel Bryan wins, I already know who is going to win the next match. I hope WWE shakes things up for once. I would like to see BNB to retain the belt tonight. BNB has been getting shitcanned through this whole story. So I would like to see BNB prove his dominance tonight. I would love to see R-Truth win too! C’mon he is awesome! I’m going to pick Dolph Ziggler to go home with the title. I feel like the show off is going to steal the show.
United States Championship: Rusev (c) vs. John Cena
SP: Unfortunately, I have to go with John Cena because we all know he is going to beat him. Unless they are going to shock us with a return.
MCZX: Last year when John Cena beat Bray Wyatt. It didn’t hurt Bray’s character, but I didn’t like it. I don;t want the same to happen to Rusev. Dude I want Rusev to win because he is freaking unstoppable. What happens to Rusev after he loses to John Cena?
SP: Go for Intercontinental?
MCZX: NO! That’s going to ruin him. He is the “Brock Lesnar” that’s on the show all the time. I don’t want Rusev’s mania moment to be he lost to John Cena. I think a nice swerve would be if Sheamus somehow interferes in the match. He tries to Brogue Kick Rusev and connects with Cena. Sheamus leaves and Rusev locks the Accolade back in leading to a shocking victory and heel turn. I know that is very unlikely and my pick is doubtful, but I’m going with Rusev.
The Undertaker Vs Bray Wyatt
MCZX: THE MAN IS COMING TO DOWN TO FACE THE NEW FACE OF FEAR! SO who do you have between The Undertaker & Bray Wyatt?
SP: I am really hyped up for this match. This is a test for Bray Wyatt to prove he is the new face of fear. For all the people online saying Undertaker needs to redeem himself, It doesn’t matter! Bray Wyatt is on a roll man!
MCZX: Bray has been carrying this entire thing by himself!
SP: Where was Taker?
MCZX: It is to keep his mystique intact. SO When the MAN COMES TO DOWN it will be epic!
SP: I’m going with Bray Wyatt for The Undertaker to pass the torch to Bray. Here’s how it should have happened, The Undertaker should have beat Brock Lesnar and then at Wrestlemania 31, Wyatt would be the one who broke the streak.
MCZX: Yeah if that happened the new face of fear thing would have stuck better. If anything, I would have had him win at 30, lose at 31 and win 32 in his home state. I don’t like the fact that Bray looks like he is going to lose regardless.
SP: It looks like a slap in the face to the fans and Bray.
MCZX: What does The Undertaker has to prove anymore? Taker is my favorite wrestler of all time, but why does he need to win this match? Is it a respect thing? Taker needs to come back looking strong? The Undertaker has done everything! I don’t want Bray to lose two Wrestlemanias in a row. If he so he better be unbeatable after this one and have the same streak as The Undertaker. I’m going to pick Bray Wyatt because I want him to win the match simple as that. The New Face Of Fear prevails and Mania fans are shocked again!
Sting Vs Triple H
MCZX: THIS IS EASY FOR ME TO PREDICT! I JUST HAVE A REALLY GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS MATCH! I KINDA KNOW! I’m just going to get my prediction out the way right now. Sting is winning this one. Sting cannot get brought in just for Triple H to beat him and become a pompous character!
SP: What does that do for Sting?! It’s his Debut match!
MCZX: Exactly! If that happens I’m going to be legit shocked. If Sting is going to lose it will have to be because Triple H cheated. I mean Montreal Screwjob Cheated! I think that’s not going to happen. They wouldn’t disrespect Sting like that. Sting is probably going to have one of the most badass entrances of all time. Triple H will probably have one too! I hope it is a great match, hopefully a classic. Sting has to win!
SP: Game Over! Sting! I gotta say one thing The Vigilante Sting is like Batman to me
MCZX: This is new.
SP: And you got the Cerebral Assassin Triple H, he is like the Joker….I don’t know if I could compare the two he is like a joker to me….noooo
MCZX: No you have went down this road continue.
SP: Just look at Triple H, he wants to do everything his power, abuse his power to put Sting down. People like Ric Flair & Booker T warned Triple H about Sting because Triple H has no idea what he’s getting into if he steps in the ring with The Vigilante, Sting.
MCZX: The Icon…whatever WWE. He’s the Icon, The man called Sting- Whatever
SP: I know this is a new swerve I put on it, but yeah.
MCZX: Batman Vs The Joker. I think you have it reversed….It is just a weird thing. You know what fine. I don’t know why you said that, but that’s going on the blog now. Such a weird analogy.
SP: Let’s just get to the final part.
MCZX: Please you are confusing me now.
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match: Brock Lesnar (c) (with Paul Heyman) Vs Roman Reigns
MCZX: Honestly, I have no idea where this match is going. I don’t know. I really don’t know what is going to happen tonight. This is the first time I’ve really been unsure of where this is going. At first, I kinda knew Roman Reigns was going to win because Brock Lesnar did not resign with WWE at the time. He could have went back to the UFC. About a week ago…don’t do the dance. A week passes by and Brock resigns with the WWE getting 3 million dollars for 3 years I believe. Now the future is uncertain because now we don’t know how this match is going to go down. Is this match going to be Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 20?
SP: EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
MCZX: Yes…I know such an awful match! Will this match be a fight like the UFC? Will Heyman turn on Lesnar? Will Roman Reigns walk out with the belt? Will Lesnar retain and we now don’t have a champion on TV, but on PPVs? I just don’t know. Shino what are your thoughts?
SP: I was going to give it to Reigns. In my mind, I say Reigns has no idea what he is getting into. Look at The Rock, he got his ass kicked by Brock Lesnar and sent to Hollywood. Last year, he ended the streak. SummerSlam, he defeated John Cena. EAT. SLEEP. SUPLEX. REPEAT. SUPLEX. REPEAT. SUPLEX. REPEAT. WHAT’s that other word? SUPLEX. REPEAT. He put John Cena out of the main title picture. At the Royal Rumble, he defeated Rollins & Cena with a broken rib! Now that is a beast! A pure monster!
MCZX: If you expect me to think Lesnar is going to lose to a little spear after everything he went through with John Cena & Seth Rollins, you are insane. I’m not buying it. After he got AA’d like 4 times in that match plus a curb stomp and going through a table. You’re telling me a superman punch and a spear is going to take down the beast? Are you crazy? It’s not possible.
SP: Roman Reigns is going to have do something we have never seen before to weaken the beast.
MCZX: It would have to be something out of this world for him to win. The superman punch would have to be with brass knuckles or a chain or something. I also don’t see how Paul Heyman could turn on Brock Lesnar to cause him the match. What is Paul going to do a low blow? Everything Paul has said about his beast will be null invoid and it makes no sense for him to turn on Brock Lesnar. If Roman Reigns beats Brock Lesnar, it is because he won! Roman would have to win clean.
SP: If either one of them wins, I still have hope for Rollins! Let’s say Randy Orton beats Seth Rollins and the only way to redeem himself would be cashing in on Roman or Brock.
MCZX: If Rollins is going to cash in, it would make Rollins the biggest heel in the company. You just stole Brock or Roman’s shining moment away from him. It would have been perfect if Daniel Bryan was in Roman Reigns’ place. If Bryan would have beaten Lesnar and the Yes moment happens again that is how I would ruin it. Curb stomp to the repaired neck and leave the stadium with the belt. I feel with Reigns if Rollins would come down he would get a Superman Punch or a Spear. We have seen it on Raw so it wouldn’t make sense. If it was with Lesnar he would meet a F5 or an elbow!
SP: Or the Authority comes down and jumps Reigns!
MCZX: Possible. Well it is time to end this once and for all who do you have winning this match? Keep it short and sweet because we have already went over why.
SP: Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar!
MCZX: I am also going to go with Brock Lesnar as well! That is Wrestlemania 31! What happens the Raw after?! I’m not going to even say anything
SP & MCZX: You’ll just have to wait and see!
MCZX: I’m Zero X
SP: I’m Shino Phoenix
MCZX: Signing off. Till next time! Peace!
There you have it! Our predictions! I hope you enjoyed that! I hope you enjoy Wrestlemania 31!!!!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!! SEE YA!!!
