I'll Be Back Wednesday Night

Unfortunately, I had a zany weekend which included an incident that I'll mention below, so you'll have to wait until Wednesday night, as the next 48 hours for me, I'll be swamped with a variety of things. To copy and paste (and note that this was written while I was intoxicated at the time):

I had quite the bizarre night tonight. I went to a wrestling show in Orlando and then to you know where (yes, that one nightclub) afterwords. The show was entertaining and my time at Mako's was rather odd, but independent of that, my night was strange due to the fact that at the wrestling show, a famous actress/singer (famous enough that she recently won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar!) was there and I saw her there but I did not know who she was until after I got home.

The show I went to was Florida Championship Wrestling, which is like the minor leagues to World Wrestling Entertainment. They usually have shows around their home base of Tampa, but tonight they had a show in Orlando. Anyway, one of the wrestlers there has the real name of Dave Otunga. He was on the VH1 reality show I Love New York 2 (at least from what I hear; I never watch those shows). I don't know what his wrestling name was as the sound system there wasn't the best, so I wasn't able to catch it, but he indeed is a wrestler in FCW and he wrestled in a match on this show. In case you don't know, Mr. Otunga happens to be engaged to a name that all of you should know. In fact, I saw that lady walking around during the show, but I did not recognize her as a celebrity, but believe me, she is.

Once I got home after the wrestling show (and my time at the happiest nightclub on Earth) I was looking at the local wrestling messageboards, which talk about shows such as Florida Championship Wrestling. There was a thread on one of the boards, and a guy who I don't get along with (don't ask) started a thread where he bragged about meeting that girl and he had photographic evidence of that meeting. Once I saw the photo and made sure that it was her (and yeah, it was who he said it was), I put it together, and I feel like a total jackass now.

Folks, tonight at the wrestling show I went to, JENNFIER HUDSON (yes, the American Idol contestant from 2004 who went on to win a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Dreamgirls, not to mention the success she has had in the music field) was there, and I saw her walking around, but I did not know at the time who she was, thus I was not able to take a picture of her to post online and brag about me hobnobbing with a celebrity.

EPIC FAIL on my part.

From what I understand, she doesn't usually show up at the wrestling matches of her fiancee Dave Otunga, so it was a special night for that couple. I'll probably forever shake my head and regret being such a boob and not realizing that I had an opportunity to hob-nob with such a famous person. Oh well, though.
