confirming that god was in fact, a Hulkamaniac, brother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I admit that I did smirk upon seeing that, which is also admittedly inappropriate and off-base considering the very real tragedy and horror that the California fires have been wreaking out in LA, but sometimes all we can do at times is just laugh, no matter if it\u2019s appropriate or not.\u00a0 Life and the world are fucked up like that sometimes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I\u2019m deliberate in not calling them wildfires, because to me, wildfires imply that they were started by in most cases, a lighting crash that then causes enough sparks to ignite something dry and flammable, and then it blazes out of control.\u00a0 By definition, something that happened in the wild, naturally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The cause of the fires have not been determined yet, but I\u2019m going to say that if it were sunlight magnifying through a littered piece of plastic or a glass bottle that set some makeshift kindling on fire, or what I\u2019m going to guess is more likely some stoners hiding in the hills and discarding a joint or a cigarette butt, then they were not caused in the wild, and more accurately caused by the stupidity of people.\u00a0 Stupidfire.\u00a0 Dumbfire.\u00a0 But I\u2019m not going to wager that it was actually a wildfire that\u2019s caused all this chaos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">All the same, it\u2019s a horrendous tragedy and nightmare that is still not over, and serves to kick the 2025 year off to a terrifying start as one of the big stories of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Getting back to Hulk Hogan though, I get why people booed him.\u00a0 Sure, some of it has to do with his history of getting caught on tape being racist and dropping N-words, and more likely has to do with his very public political allegiance, cringingly going up on stage during an orange guy rally to cut a promo in support, and ripping his shirt.\u00a0 Probably both, in most cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">But fans aren\u2019t as dumb as I like to sometimes embody them as, and when it really comes down to it, I feel like most people have come to their own conclusions that Terry Bollea, the man himself, is just kind of a dude who\u2019s full of shit, and is pretty shameless when it comes to utilizing the Hulk Hogan persona in order to benefit himself optimally.\u00a0 Like there are plenty of other wrestling personalities who are known Republicans and have donated large sums of money to orange\u2019s plight, but they don\u2019t parade it around like Hogan did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">And I know a lot of people are really trying to do such these days, to carve out of their lives, the people whose political ideologies don\u2019t necessarily mesh with their own, and if I did that, I\u2019d lose one of my best friends, and many in my family, who support party without thinking about it, even if their representative exists entirely counterculture to their very existence.\u00a0 I often feel like an island when I explain to others that I am willing to accept people who support the alternative, especially when we already have a long positive history behind us.\u00a0 And if I were to consider professional contacts in the mix, I live in fucking Georgia, if I\u2019d want to keep my job, I\u2019d have no other to be able to tolerate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">That being said, I did find a modicum of amusement of the correlation between Hulk Hogan getting boo\u2019d and then the fires starting in Los Angeles, meaning god might just be a Hulkamaniac.\u00a0 I\u2019ve met Hulk Hogan before, and he was friendly and gave me knucks for coincidentally wearing a Hulkamania shirt.\u00a0 I can\u2019t say I\u2019d be nearly as pumped if the opportunity ever arose to meet the guy again, because I do think he\u2019s just this walking meme of a human being with some very large public flaws hanging from him, but at the same time, I wouldn\u2019t treat him like a piece of shit and go out of my way to disrespect the man.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Alright, done writing about Hulk Hogan, preferably for a long time, or at least until he does something else stupid and worthy of busting out a litany of Hulkamania references.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw this meme about how Hulk Hogan was booed the fuck out of Los Angeles during his cheap appearance at the RAW is Netflix debut, and then the following day began the insane fires that have completely decimated the Palisades, Eaton and Hurst regions of the greater Los Angeles area;
