Okay, I've been working my tush off, along with a couple other people, on promoting my WWE/TNA Yahoo Group as well as trying to get a lot of stuff done in it. In my own opinion it looks pretty darned great. It's got nearly 800 pics so far, I'm working right now on news articles, I'm going to be posting my fictions (already have 2-3 posted), and all sorts of stuff. There are polls to determine what WWE/TNA superstar & diva/knockout will be featured on the Group's banner each month. It'll be great if enough people will join. Please give it a chance. I'd love for this group to be one of the best on Yahoo!
There is no approval needed, all ya do is sign up & your in. Thanks!
Oh, and we've finally gotten a few females in there, but we can always use more! Join today! =]

I'll never forget the day that Eddie died. I'd not gotten to see him on TV a whole lot because I'd began watching RAW at the end of 2003, but did not started watching SmackDown till mid to late 2004. I only had a few months of getting to see him perform. I regret that I didn't begin watching sooner.
I walked in from church that evening, and I went back to my mom's room to greet her, because me and my friends had gone out to eat after church, and I wanted to say goodnight to her. She asked me if I'd heard about a wrestler dying earlier that day, and I said no. But my heart began to pound. I hated to hear that any of them had died. Even though I'd not got to see a lot of Eddie, I had still become his fan in a short time. He was just amazing to watch. He had an amazing personality for the ring. He lived for what he did. Plain & simple.
Mom had said, "It was a Mexican wrestler..." She had trouble with the wrestler's names because she didn't really watch much at that time. She still doesn't but she watches more than she used to.
Quickly, I began going through the Mexican wrestlers I knew of, "Rey Mysterio?"
"No, that wasn't him."
"Chavo Guerrero?"
She had started to say no, but then paused at the "Guerrero."
She said, "It wasn't "Chavo I don't think, but I'm pretty sure it was a Guerrero."
"Oh, no...Was it Eddie?"
She nodded, & said, "Yeah, that was it."
I couldn't believe it. The short time I watched him, he seemed so young & alive & full of life. Then she told me that he had been found in a hotel room by his nephew. And still in shock, it registered with me, that Chavo had been the one to find his uncle dead.
I couldn't imagine what that would be like. I still can't. My condolences still go to the Guerrero family, in the third year of his passing.
Why is it that people have to tear a wrestler down, just because they don’t like them?I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s fine to dislike them for whatever reason, I have a few I dislike, in fact (their gimmicks/characters).But I am respectful.I don’t sit here & say that someone just “sucks”.I let the reason be known as to what I don’t like about them, but 9 times out of 10, I also have something GOOD to say about them.
I am so sick of hearing that Batista sucks just because he won the title from Chris Jericho.You people do realize that wins are SCRIPTED, right?If you don’t, then you seriously need a reality check, and maybe a trip to a psychologist or counselor.I mean yeah, while wrestling is on, I DO get way into it (yelling at the tv & stuff), because it’s much more fun that way.But I do know that it is pre-determined.So instead of blaming Batista for his winning the title from Jericho, maybe you should get mad at Vince, or Stephanie, or the entire Creative team.Batista is just doing what is asked of him.The same goes for the others, they’re doing their JOB.
Those of you who see this the way I do…you’d never believe the people that were on Myspace, back when John Cena got his own Myspace.It was back in 2005 or 2006 I believe.Cena had the championship at the time, and there were so many idiots telling him through comments, “You don’t need the title right now.You’re still too new.Give the belt back to Vince & let him put it on someone who deserves it.He won’t get mad at you with as much money as you bring the company.” And blah blah blah...it went on & on.Okay, if YOU had just won the WWE Title…would YOU give it up just because some anti-fan was telling you you should?Heck no, you wouldn’t!When you had your hands on that gold you’d want to keep it as long as you could.
Anyway, my point is, we shouldn’t dislike these guys because of what they do in the ring, or with their personas. There is actually a fine line/gray area here, though. I think it's okay to playfully boo them when they are having very heel-like behavior, because obviously, that's what they are trying to do. But at the same time, to really believe someone "sucks" just because they won the title from your precious wrestler is no reason to say they suck. I was annoyed when Edge won the title from John Cena back a few years ago, b/c yeah, Cena is my favorite, but at the same time, he can't keep the title forever. And Edge is a very good wrestler and he's very good at making you dislike his character. But am I going to say he sucks or is unworthy of the title just because he won it from John Cena? Nope.
Now all that being said... there is a couple of wrestlers I dislike for real & personal reasons.I’ve had contact with a couple of wrestlers on Myspace that turned out to be complete & utter creeps (and yes, it was confirmed that they were real).But it’s not that I dislike them for what they did in the ring, it’s for how they act in REALITY & how they treated me.I was their fan at one time, and they acted like it didn’t even matter.They better not treat ALL their fans that way, lol, or they’ll pretty soon not have any.My point is here, that if the people behind the wrestler gives you an honest reason to dislike them (such as mine above) then so be it. That is much different to just disliking them b/c they beat your favorite.
And don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of gimmicks and characters that I dislike greatly, lol, but it’s not that I dislike the actual person; it’s their persona.
Anyway, I ramble a lot I realize but hopefully got my point across.

I've had a pretty relaxing day today. I've lounged around, worked on some of my fan-fics, and watched scary movies all day. Ahhhh, the beauty of Halloween! LOL! I'm actually recording Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday to a DVD right now. It goes off at 9 PM and I plan on making a nice hot cup of cocoa and settling down to watch it, and maybe brainstorm on my stories a tad more.
No point to this blog really, but I was in the mood to write one, LOL. And also it will get my most recent entry in everyone's hubs for a couple minutes so hopefully some of my friends will see it and re-add me to their friends. I've hunted for as many as I can remember. There was so many different nicknames and whatnot I can't remember them all. I had nearly 240 friends so it's impossible to recall them all. Anyway, if yall see me on here, please readd me! =]
I will leave everyone a cool quote my mom sent me through an email. It's very true, and I find strength and comfort in it. Those of you who know about some past people (that tried to tear my family apart) in my life will know why.
"There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore.........
and who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
It's long, lol, but I love it. It is very true. =]

**Gonna repost this several times over the next few days so
hopefully some of my friends from my last profile will see it in their
hub & re-add me. If you've already read this then disregard. =]**
Okay, for some reason my account got deleted last night sometime, and
this is my new one. I have my suspicions as to why *rolls eyes* it got
deleted but oh, well. Not that hard to make a new one. I just am
going to have a slightly hard time locating all my buds, lol.
So, if you see this blog in your hub and want to add me back, please
do! I'm gonna do my best to locate everyone, but I'll just have to see
how that goes.
