So Saturday night one of the coolest things happened to me. I had dinner with Jim Cornette. The guy who is my main inspiration and the guy who's tapes I've watched hours and hours and hours of film of was sitting across from me eating a philly cheesesteak. Then we talked about Green Lantern. Seriously one of the top 3 coolest things to ever happen to me. That is all |
|
|
| yeah |
[Nov. 12th, 2006|11:26 pm] |
This is what I've wanted my whole life it seems.
Every weekend I hit the road with Pharoah and Callaway. My only real concerns in life right now are what happens saturday night, keeping my job, and getting my life in good financial shape (which it is at the moment.)
Some weekends I feel as if I hit a foul ball, some times I feel like I hit a double....last night I hit a grand fucking slam in NC.
I'm surprised me and Ron made it out a live.
That is all. |

So I was driving home last night with Pharoah and I told him how a year ago I never thought this could happen. I had my falling out with my original promotion and all I wanted to do was do my thing managing, but there was no where to go since I had no tape or contact, and the only contacts I had didn't want me.
It's a year later...I'm working shows just about every weekend, I'm considered one of the best managers in the area, I'm the protege of arguably one of the best in the business, I was introduced to Dave Hebner as the next Jimmy Hart, and the sky is the limit.
Act like ya don't know.

It's been a crazy week.
Work was driving me ape shit.
After all the drama of SAW/GXW I miss the simplier days of NUW and Connie's backyard.
I choked last night on the mic, oh well. Live and learn. Redeem myself next week.
Being put in the same sentence as Jimmy Hart is an amazing compliment.
I rocked Power 92 on Friday night and they are hanging my autograpghed picture next to Faith Evans in the studio. How crazy is that.
My tape should be done in a few weeks. Sharkey's boy is gonna do his thing.
However, the hatchet is buried after over a year of bull shit. That's all that matters.
Things happen for a reason. Had what had happened not happened, I probably would have never gotten hooked up with Dave (who's like my second dad), Neil (who's my mentor) and Ron (who's the best to person to manage ever). However I'm just glad it's over..for everyone's sake. |

I have a theory
Love is a lot like the Loch Ness Monster. People want it to exist, people believe that it exists, and there are tons of speculations and theories that it exists, but let's be honest...it doesn't exist.
And if DOES in fact exists, it's horrible, ugly, impossible to find, and you are much better off without it. |

So last time I posted this thing I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I don't feel that way anymore. Ive had some revelations in the past few days. Basically I surrounded myself with the wrong people for too long. Far too long. In the past 3 weeks or so I learned who's really down and who's a fucking idiot. I thought my life was perfect for months, then overnight it turned to shit. So I tried to fix it, but what I really had to do was let go. I stopped holding my breath for people to apologize. I stopped stressing out over stupid shit. I stopped trying to change infantile minds. I've got 100% focus on getting out of this house and wrestling now. Edge.

So I've had a shitty past couple of weeks. A shitty month if you wanna get technical. Outside of the awesomeness of working indy shows constantly and getting recognized as someone who's good at what they do, everything has been in the shitter. Through the surgery, the school closing down, a friend of mine letting me down after what seems like forever, going broke again, the job driving me insane, dealing with idiots, dealing with over grown children, and feeling like a good majority of my friends stop giviing a shit about me, and still living in this god forsaken house. I almost got driven to the point of drinking and we know that would have been abad thing because I don't drink for a reason. After spending a good hour debating on either A moving far away or B joining the army, I had to slap myself in the face and realized everything will be ok. Just relax and everything will be OK....... |

Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades,
waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
while you're taking your time with apologies,
I'm making my plans for revenge.
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge.
I'd drive straight off the edge.
Taking your own life with boredom,
I'm taking my own life with wine -
it helps you to rule out the sorrow,
it helps me to empty my mind.
Making the most of a bad time
I'm smoking the brains from my head
Leaving the coal calling the kettle black and orange and red
This kettle is seeing red.
I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling.
In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying.
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
plugged in and ready to fall.

So my PC has finally went off to PC Heaven. I need to buy a new one ASAP. I might pick up a $300 Dell Desktop, but I migh just hold out and get an OK apple for $600. Suggestions?
I'm working 3 jobs now. I started a new job with a merchandising company last week. Basically it's what I did before at Scotts just doesn't pay as much and Im not guaranteed 40 hours a week, so we'll see how this works. I'm going back to eWorks part time this week because everyone quit on Alisha. Since I love ALisha to death I told her I'd do it. Then of course I'm doing the flea market still, which I consider a job. I might even pick up a fourth, I dunno.
On top of that I am on a quest to get out of my moms house by August. Ive been saying that for the past year I know but I got enough dough saved up from my last job and I am after all working three jobs so I'm going balls to the wall with it now. Im trying to find a cheap place to live by myself. Since I have lived with my mom for the past three years I would like to be left alone. Once again any suggestions?
I officially started renting out my slurpee machine to parties. I put an ad up and already got some replies to do weddings and such. If any body wants me to bring the best slurpees ever to their next shindig, holla at me and we'll work something out.

George Bullock was a friend of mine. He was better known to us as "Jive Nyce" and I always said he was my favorite wrestler. I still don't want to believe it. I feel like a member of my family is gone. I still can't believe it. We'll always love you Jive.

Well, I turned 24 last week and it's the first birthday I've had in a very long time where I didn't feel like, "Crap, I'm older." I feel as if I atleast have myself together now.
I bought a truck this weekend. It rules.
I am looking foward to scavenging again this week and the flea market this weekend. I think with hauling a trailer full of crap and a pick up truck with an extra long bed business should be booming. I'm seriously thinking about opening a thrift store in 2 years (not in Richmond, probably in Ashland or some college town.) Thoughts?
I've been working out like a mad man latley at the ring. I'm getting in the best shape I've been in since high school.
I'm trying to get a 3rd job now. |
