Back in Town or R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero

I am now back in town from the busy weekend in Minneapolis (well Bloomington to be exact). My parents, Erin and I drove down early Friday morning. We were stuck at the border for an hour and a half due to the massive lines. The worst part was all the queue jumping that people were doing. They would drive towards the Duty Free shop and then cut through the parking lot to try to get in line ahead of others. It became so frustrating that I contemplated getting out of the car and standing in front of the exit to block people. Like seriously, why do those people think they are too good to wait in line. Are they somehow better than the others? It's selfishness at its worst people.
Anyway, after that delay we were on our way. We didn't end up arriving at the hotel until 6:30 so basically just ate and rested for the day ahead. Saturday we went to the Mall of America at about 10 am. Having only been to the mall once, and for a short time at that, I took longer to browse this time. The place is pretty crappy on the whole, unless you want overpriced clothing. The DVD stores all had prices that were higher in American than they are in Canadian here. The one thing I really wanted, the new Heroscape expansion sets were nowhere to be found... even at Games by James! I ended up getting a couple of shirts on sale but that was it.
Sunday was the return day with an attempted stop in Fargo (where my dad got lost) and an actual stop in Grand Forks at the Target. I had to run over to Best Buy to find the DVD's I was looking for (the 4 TNA Dvd's and the Forever Hardcore documentary) and added 2 DS games to my haul (Viewtiful Joe and Pac Pix). Everything I picked up was a tad cheaper, but not really enough to want to travel across the border for. On our way back, we were again delayed for about an hour at the border by the lines. There wasn't as much queue jumping this time, but it was still present. Damn Manitobans and their need to hurry!
Once home, Erin and I had to rush to be at Dan's place for the TNA PPV "Genesis" which had already started. It was a good show and we had some tasty pizza! It was then that I learned of the tragic passing of Eddie Guerrero. He was a guy that had totally turned his life around from drugs and alcohol but had a sudden heart attack at age 38. It just goes to show how sudden things can pop up.
I got home, unpacked, and then crashed out at about midnight. Hey, I'm awake now!
