Good early morning, everyone. As most everyone knows by now, Generation X lost a true icon this week. Paul Reubens, the man behind Pee-Wee Herman, lost a private battle with cancer this week at the age of 70. I never truly realized he was that old, but then again, the character's childlike, playful demeanor really hid that well. All over Facebook this week, tributes for Pee-Wee have been pouring in from all over. From fellow actors, to writes, and other contributors to the acting profession. Most of who were born in the latter part of our generation virtually grew up with him, and although he was disgraced after a police raid on an adult movie theater (thanks a lot, Sarasota, Florida PD 😒) and hid from the public spotlight for awhile, we'll always have Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Oh, one other thing, fuck cancer. We'll miss you, Mr. Reubens.

Really, WWE?
Summerslam comes this weekend from Detroit, but it will be without one feature match. Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus, despite months of buildup, will not take place at Summerslam but on the ensuing episode of Raw instead. The article also states that the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is saying another Women's title match (Rhea Ripley vs. Racquel Rodriguez) may not happen for the same reason; not enough time. Really, WWE? What's that time being used for exactly, Roman Reigns unusually long ring intro for the main event of the show? Something tells me this wreaks of Vince McMahon getting his grubby hands on it as usual, but allegedly he's on bed rest for back surgery, even though that isn't the worst of his problems right now.

Why Don't (You) Get Drunk And Screw (Yourself)?
As some of you know, my early years were spent in the Pine Hills area of Orlando, which is now an incorporated community. As of writing of this blog, residents there are not happy. Pine Hills is a predominantly black community, although it wasn't so much back in the early 80's. So why the need for so damn many liquor stores there? FOURTEEN?! I mean, the community is still reeling from a fatal shooting back in February, and someone wants to put up another business that will only bring Pine Hills further down the spiral of despair. I don't blame these residents at all, when is enough going to be enough?
That's all I have for early this morning. I hopefully will be back later on with a Flashback. Until then, take care.
