#16 part 2

In this continuation of the 16th section I discuss what I do not like about how professional wrestling is viewed by certain fans right now often refereed  as: "Smart Marks"  compared to the past and what those aspects are.   Please NOTE:  that there are no solutions from me just the problems I see.    One of the vice presidents of Impact also color commentator for New Japan pro wrestling Don Calais  said something that I think is an important destination and that is most of the newer generation views the product more of just a performance art where fans chant fight forever and this is Impact where everyone is in on the joke and they all shake hands.   That is the wrong way to go about it because the fans are losing the ora and the mystique that made professional wrestling special in the past.   Or what they loved in the beginning the larger than life personalities and gimmicks that were personalities that were their real personalities that had their volume turned all the way up.   That is why they connected with the fans in the first place.   More importantly why they had such longevity and made money.      I think this is spot on I know that many fans and journalist will disagree with me but I am a true believer that old school will never die.   Meaning this form of entertainment has evolved but the basic philosophy will never change.     New Japan commentator Kevin Kelly said something similar to Don’s point that the philosophy of fans being in on “the joke” is very short sided.    Which again is counterintuitive to what fans and talent have been taught but my point here it should not be counterintuitive.   The philosophy of fans being in on the joke does work in the WWE but I am not concerned with the WWE.   I am referring to New Japan Impact etc.   It needs to be instilled because fans will not be conditioned to talent performing unnecessary stunts is the most import reason.   The second reason it just makes a better product.   I used the term performance art to describe professional wrestling earlier. I used the term because Andy Kaufman described himself as a performance artist.   Andy also happened to be a huge fan.   The main reasons the wrestlers shake each other's hand is for one reason they need each other.    The promoter will shake every wrestlers hand because he or she needs each of them.      It used to be and still is a wrestler may only get an opportunity only on a  hand shake.   A hand shake in professional wrestling means something it has not changed.      Moose is a despicable person he could have killed Eddie Edwards in his match at Impact’s special Final Hour when he release powerbomed Eddie on the stage.   Moose has shown no remorse after what he did to Eddie.    Moose went too far during that match.   Eddie Edwards has become one of my favorite wrestlers this year.   Eddie has really come out of his shell this year.   Eddie has always been a great well rounded professional wrestler but not in terms of his personality.   Scott D’amore and Don Calais have been dubbed this year as: the “Golden bookers” because they have competly turned Impact around this year.     I have always loved the product so it  is diffcult for me to be so called objective but both Scott D’amore and Don Calais are geniuses for turning Impact around.   Don Calais is also the color commentator for New Japan pro wrestling and other endeavors.

This is the first section of the 16th section
One of the
 vice presidents of Impact also color commentator for New Japan pro wrestling said something that I think is an important destination and that is much of the newer generation views the product more of just a performance art where fans chant fight forever and this is Impact where everyone is in on the joke and they all shake hands.   That is the wrong way to go about it because the fans are losing the ora and the mystique that made professional wrestling speical in the past.   I think this is spot on I know that many fans and journalist will disagree with me but I am a true believer that old school will never die.   New Japan commentator Kevin Kelly said something similar to Don’s point that the philosophy of fans being in on “the joke” is very short sided.    Which again is counterintuitive to what fans and talent have been taught but my point here it should not be counterintuitive.   The philosophy of fans being in on the joke does work in the WWE but I am not concerned with the WWE.   I am referring to New Japan Impact etc.   It needs to be instilled because fans will not be conditioned to talent performing unnecessary stunts is  the most  import reason.   The second reason it just makes a better product.   I used the term performance art to describe professional wrestling earlier.    I used the term because Andy Kaufman described himself as a performance artist.   Andy also happened to be a huge fan.

Jerry Springer said in an interview with Bill Shatner that 99% of what we are has human beings is a consequence of luck.   I understand what he means by that to an extent but I think those circumstances could be what motivates you to work even harder which does not feel good and is not easy but what choose do I have?   None.   Your gift will make room for you.   What is a gift?   Your gift is the thing you are able to do with the least amount of effort.   Because most things in life including: hobbies take a certain amount of effort but your gift should not take any effort.

Rock and rap

Why are rap and rock’n  roll being placed in the same category?   They are not exactly the same.   The people who are in charge will say that rock is such a huge umbrella that is why they are placed in the same category.   This is one of the reasons rock continues to be marginalized and is an afterthought.

Street Games


Well I may need to take something back I said about 1989 being a bad year for music Tom Petty and the Heart breakers released free fallin' from Tom album Blue Moon Fever.   This may have been discovered years later.     But it was a huge radio hit and it is extremely difficult to get a song played on local radio      In other words there is a lot of criteria that has to be covered.     Then love shack came out in 89 but I am not going to discuss that. But Kate Pierson is still extremely hot.   She looks better as she has gotten older much like Susanna Hoffs or even Joan Jett.        I need sort of a Paula Aboul sort vibe to myself sort of dance vibe I could say the same thing about Belinda Carlisle’s do you feel like I feel?     From her album Live your life be free.   That sort of vibe.   I think we will all feel better hopefully listening to Belinda’s music for those who just think of this has  disposable pop music they are missing the point.   I think I have experienced growth listening to Belinda’s music.    Belinda’s album Real has more of a ballad type of feel to it.   For example: here comes my baby.     But it still contains a danceable  vibe to it.   There is more of a romantic feel to it.   Meaning it is still good it is just different.   I am going to add I have listened to different versions of lay down your arms I think the better versions of the song are performed live.   Lay down your arms and here comes my baby are on Belinda’s same album Real.    Or even tell me from Real as well from Belinda very well done but different also extremely sexy at times.    I was listening to an interview with Dorothy about something happens when music is absorbed it becomes a whole new thing when it is performed live it changes you really get to know the music there is real genuine emotion where the band gets lost in the process.   Now Dorothy has more substance to her voice.   That has to be so freeing.   Finding your own voice instead of trying to please everyone else.   No one can please everyone anyway.   That is what is so refreshing about Dorothy and her band.   They are a rock band but Dorothy’s voice has a blues vibe to her voice there is a mix to it which makes the music wonderful and confusing at times because there is so much going.    There is so much depth to it.    I really think Dorothy has created something of their own.   I am sure many musicans and bands will try to copy them and I do not think they will be successful that is how good this band really is.   I plan on coming back to this.    I need a little more time with the music.   If anyone is going to blame Van Halen 3 on anyone please do not blame Gary Cherone Van Halen has always been Eddie Van Halen’s band.   Much like Bon Jovi has always been Jon’s band.    I could say about Dorothy that she and the band are not trying to be what fans or record companies want the band to be there are many different emotions tied to 28 days in the valley.   For those of you who think you must knock on a piece of wood to prevent bad stuff from happening have you ever considered that bad stuff happens every one?   It is called life.   If I knock on a piece of wood bad stuff won’t happen to me is stupid.   Maybe bad things happened to you because you knocked on a piece of wood.   My favorite song on Dorothy’s album 28 days in valley has to be on my knees.   I really love the version I found on youtube.   It may be the same on the record.    Again there is a lot going on with this song.   I think it is what I will come to expect from Dorothy which is not a criticism of the band it just makes it difficult to break down.   But I dig it just love Dorothy’s voice on this track it is extremely heavy but alluring and her voice is heavily seductive it drives me crazy but in a good way it feels good.   I cannot take it.   You want me so much you cannot even see straight that pretty much sums it up.   Dorothy owns it!   When I say stay hard stay heavy I mean it not because it sounds good.   People can take that anyway they want but for me it is positive stay hard stay heavy is not just a cool saying even though it sounds cool.   It is a way to deal with this thing we call life to help us all feel better.   Believe for me it is about positive energy and feeding over of the positive  energy.   Sometimes it has to do with getting rid of negative energy I do not need any of that negative energy that negative energy has to go somewhere.   This could be part of accepting your lower parts.   Those maybe the parts of your personality that a person may not find acceptable or even understand but they are always there.   If you do not except those lower parts you will be miserable for no reason in some cases.   But for me my lower parts could be my addiction or a need for music in my life.   That heavy frequency gives me such peace it is an indescribable feeling.   Much like being on drugs without actually being on drugs.   I get that frequency watching and being a fan of Impact going after dark on pop or House of hardcore HOH.   Much like Tommy Dreamer said on Twitch do not mistake my kindness for any kind of weakness because I will not go down without a fight.   I support you Tommy and HOH I will go down with you if I have.   Those lower parts could be a positive I do not know.   But they could be any emotion that you are trying to suppress but they could work for you instead of against you.      Everyone’s lower parts will be different.   The main aspect I have always felt about rock’n roll but music in general it is magic when you figure out how the guitar is going to sound like what the equipment will be I often wonder how these musicians and bands get the guitar to make that sound?   There is just so much that goes into what makes this thing called rock’n roll that I am truly fascinated almost mesmerized.   I am not sure if that comes from alienation but it is an aspect of my personality that I have learned to accept or I will be miserable.   For example: the riff or beat to circle in the sand by: Belinda Carlisle is done with a guitar.   I figured it was done with a keyboard.   When I listen to the song just a released track I would not think of the beat has a heavy riff but it is which I only learned watching the song performed live.   Circle in the sand is available on Belinda’s album Heaven is a place on earth.   This kind of reminds me of keeper of the flame by: Fiona Flanagan there is a keyboard and guitar thrown in there.     Little Ms. Dangerous is back!   That is a reference to an episode of Miami Vice where Fiona plays the villainess in the episode in titled little Ms. dangerous  I am glad that MLW will debut on the FITE app because more fans will get a chance to see it and enjoy it.   Stay hard stay heavy could be a work ethic.   Which I do not have I have to take a nap in the middle of the day to feel better.   It kind of like Bruce Springsteen sings in dancing in the dark they say you gotta stay hungry.   There a lot of wisdom from The Boss.   Clarence Clemmons of The E Street band the saxophone player was the best part of that band at least for me.   Clarence plays saxophone on Lady Gaga’s edge of glory.   No offense to Springsteen but Clarence was the best part of that band.   I have never been good at time management it is something I have never thought about time is nothing but a concept man which is not true.   But I never really thought about time management until I started reading Chris Hardwick’s book the Nerdist way how to get to the next level of your life.   It something I am just starting hopefully I will be successful but I am just taking small steps and hopefully I will become more comfortable with it.   I consider myself a geek or nerd.   Maybe I could spin a bottle to figure this out.   Just to go back to Dorothy’s song on my knees I cannot get enough of this track Dorothy kind of goes into this wonderful extremely sexy monologue: where she asks do you even like me baby?   How tremendous is that?   She sings about take you Vegas and she’ll make you famous!   The reason I like this so much because it is unexpected monologue in the track.   It is so excellent I cannot get enough of this track.   Also you cannot start a fire without a spark.   There is some more wisdom from The Boss.   In other words you need a fire lit under your ass.   I am trying to figure this out for a lot of reasons that I may not even be aware of at this particular time the main thing I see now is all attempt by me to better myself.   At least I know that is my end game so I enjoy more of my life.   It could be small stuff like exercise more which is a challenge for me and I do it and it keeps growing and getting easier.   My main problem I never think I have done enough.   I keep on living year after year I am not sure how I make it that for sure.   I am always thinking how did I make it through that?   Which is part of the mystery I guess.   It is part of God’s grace not to be too spiritual here but to me that is true.   Because let’s face it I do not take care of myself like I should.   I always admire people who have a direction in their lives.   If it is keeping a calendar even though I think that would stress me out.   I probably would not be able to get anything done.   But I am always trying.   Little MS. Dangerous Fiona Flanagan’s demo calling on you is such an energy based song it makes me sad at times because Fiona puts so much emotion and feeling into this demo or deep track.   Reminds me of James Christian’s House of Lords.   There was an interview where Fiona discussed maybe joining House of Lords or Ratt.   It just gives me that House of Lords vibe she talked a lot about the original guitar player for Ratt Robbin Crosby very cool from Little MS. Dangerous.   James Christan is so kool.   I miss spelled cool on purpose just cause I wanted to do it.   Back to Dorothy in her monologue: for on my knees she sings there are so many signals I don’t understand baby? I like that has a question.   The way she delivers that monologue is just breath taking.   Susanna Hoffs released one of the prettiest song entitled darling one from her self-entitled album Susanna Hoffs.   I love her version of Donovan’s classic catch the wind which is on a movie sound track.   But there is so much beautiful emotion in this credibility track as they said about 1980s hard rock this is just extremely comforting and beautifully crafted.   I enjoy most even not all Susanna’s solo stuff.   Her material with alternative rocker: Matthew Sweet is excellent check it out because Matthew and Susanna’s both favorite era of music is from the 1960s.   But there is probably a lot of deep tracks or material.   For example: different drum with Susanna and Matthew Sweet on guitar.     Which was originally written and recorded by Linda Ronstadt and her band.    Sometimes I think I use word dig too much like I dig that.   It is not purpose I just say it a lot.   Tonight Impact Goes after Dark I think the rematch between Tessa Blanchard and Lucha Royalty Taya Valkyrie challenges Tessa for the Knockouts Championship this is going to be a return from Bound for Glory in New York City.   There is something about Tessa I do not know what it is.   But I think The Golden Announcer: Don Calais is right when he says when Tessa winks it is as if she is winking at you!   Lucha Royalty Taya Valkyrie seems to be just sweet.   But extremely powerful in the ring her power may be unmatched.   The thing about Taya she is extremely quick.   This is going to be excellent rematch main event.   When Lucha Brothers Fenix and Pentagon JR. finally face the OGS that going to be something to see.   After what happened last week in a match that I am going to call a classic The Impact World Champion Johnny Impact defending against Fenix.   After the match Fenix was attacked by The OGS.   Johnny Impact was taken out by Killer Kross in the back.   But these two will face each other on November 8th in the final hour with the title on the line.   I have to add: Madonna’s crazy for you from the movie soundtrack Vision Quest.   This just a great 1980s ballad.   There was this whole thing in the 1980s where if a musican or a band did not do a ballad they were not really artists.   I do not know maybe I am crazy but I really enjoyed Impact after Dark more last week on Pop.   I would think Pop would be a perfect channel for Impact because what do many people call professional wrestling a soap opera that happens to take place inside of a ring.   On Pop they feature soap operas or comedies like Gilmore Girls or the Days of our lives.   Impact’s youtube channel does get a lot of views.   They recently reached 1.9million subscribers on youtube.   So the company has seen a postive turning point this year thanks to Scott D’amore and Don Calais.   I do not know maybe I am in denial.   But I love to see the positive.   I sure am evolving so that is a postive.   I love that Eddie Edwards was talking to his Singapore Cain he calls Kenny this dude is totally deranged and I love it!   In the movie Logan’s run it is built as Logan’s Run starting Farrah Fawcett but she only in film for 5 seconds or something like that.   For the   record that a huge peeve of mine when the movie gets you all excited with the promise of a big star and it is a letdown.   It is one of the reasons I am not really a fan of many movies except a handful.    “I am the ultimate narcissist I   want to enjoy my life.”   Adam Carolla on compartmentalizing from The Adam Carolla Show Monday October 29th 2018 with Dennis Miller.   You see my dear friends Adam was talking about not letting one thing effect your entire being.   Which I unfortunately think that one thing is becoming more of an issue it is awful.    I am not dig it.     I am not sure what it is whether it politics religion do not let one thing ruin your life or even your day.    It is becoming more of a problem it is not good.   I have to add Joan Osbourne’s album Relish to one of my favorite albums.   Joan I think is best known for her #1 hit one of us.   There is so much soul in Joan’s voice that reminiscent of Motown that sort of vibe and feel to it.   When I think about great songs on Relish one of those songs has to be crazy baby.   The sad part or the most beautiful part of the song it is relatable.   One of the best things about music it is a double edged sword meaning: there are both positives negatives to it.   Music can be both healing and dangerous usually at the same time.   Next up St. Teresa this is a beatuful song it is an extremely sad song.   If you can find it watch Joan Osbourne’s VH1’s Storytellers.   The main thing that I get from listening to crazy baby is about not putting out your own light.   Which is a very diffcult thing to figure out but it is extremely relatable.    Which makes the song sad and uplifting at the same time.     I like the relationship that Tommy Dreamer and HOH has with Twitch.   I think Tommy was a little ahead of the game with his relationship with Twitch because Impact followed at the beginning of the year.   This to me gave more respect for Tommy he was offered a lot of money by the WWE to close House of hardcore I think the main reason Tommy did not accept the offer I think because he understands that if places such as: HOH go away the WWE will not have talent to develop that is just the truth. Maybe the powers that be who work for the WWE do not understand that or worse they do not care.   I hope they are only naïve.   But what I think the WWE should understand there are no companies nor territories that are competition or even a threat to them.   They could only be potential breeding grounds for the WWE to develop talent.   The best thing about the malochio or the iconic devil horns you can either ward off the evil eye or you can give the evil eye both of those things apply.   Gene Simmons claimed he invented the horns but according to Gene Kiss invented rock’n roll in the prehistoric age.   But there is only one thing I agree with Gene that it is only enough money when you are dead that is when it is enough.   One more song from Joan Osbourne’s tremendous album Relish let get naked this just has a great vibe to it is wonderful.   It is a wonderful album but those are some of my favorites.   There is a lot of funk in Joan’s voice.      Before Elvira was Mistresses of the Dark she was Cassandra Peterson who was a rock groupie she went on a date with Elvis Presley and Elvis gave her the best advice she ever received and that was get out of Vegas or you will be oldest girl in Vegas.   She eventually became Elvira and the rest is history.   In an interview with Elvira she said she is not a fan of modern horor movies because of the gore but she is a fan of the Walking Dead.   I respect that Tommy Dreamer wants to use wrestling for good which could be a problem for some companies and people he and The Monster Abyss make me proud to be a fan of professional wrestling.   The WWE will say that this is just business well guess what this is Tommy Dreamer’s business.   For the record I have no problem with WWE fans I just have chosen not to support them anymore.   But I will always support Tommy and HOH.   I mean this metaphorically how many times does Tommy have to get stabbed in back before a fan such as: myself say no more I cannot support this in good conscience anymore.   Again I am not knocking any WWE fan they seem to be very sensitive when other fans do not go in lock step with NXT or the WWE but that is the beauty of being a fan of the genre.   Merdeith Brooks produced Jennifer Love Hewitt’s album bare naked.      Which is a great album.   What is Caribou Coffee it sounds terrible give some of that Coffee and a chocolate donunt    and I’ll will be set.   A song that I actually do like from The Boss Bruce Springsteen and his E Street band has to be the streets of Philadelphia from movie soundtrack Philadelphia with Denzel Washington.   The reason this particular song catches my ear is genuine emotion the sadness of it.   It is an extremely depressing and sad track.   Jimmy Page would not appear on VH1 Classic’s That Metal Show simply because the word “metal was in tittle.   The program was hosted by: Eddie Trunk Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson.   Here is  the thing about Led Zepplin I have never considered Led Zepplin a heavy metal band they are a classic hard rock band but they laid the ground work for what would become heavy metal.   I would put Deep Purple Black Sabbath in that exact same category.   The main thing about doing the wrong thing at least do not lie to yourself about it.   That to me is the worst part about it.   I am not sure if I am good at compartmentalizing it sounds like a simple task but when I break it down it is not so simple.   Basically compartmentalizing is not letting one thing or even two things to define you or letting those two things effect your whole day your life.   It could be politics anything I am not sure if this is a result of social media but I know it has not helped.   So it is a diffcult task and problay takes a lot internalizing which is something more and more people are not willing to do.   But I am sure being able to compartmentalize will help indviuals have happier lives.   I sometimes think happiness and being happy is impossible but that does not mean people should not try because of the social consequences associated with it.   That could be not denying yourself of any pleasure.   I would not advice it any pleasure it depends on what your pleasures are.   If House of Hardcore/HOH comes to my town I am defiantly going.   The whole issue I have I heard from so many fans who say it is better to watch on TV.   So those are some of those good pleasures that I am referring.   But I am loving the relationship between Twitch and House of hardcore.   I have realized that I feel as if I am doing my best but I always think that my best is not good enough.   That may sound harsh but maybe that is what keeps me motivated because if I get complacent and what happens I will start to atrophy and it happens pretty quickly if you do not get a handle on it.   This Thursday on Final Hour on Pop the match I am most looking forward is between Eddie Edwards and Money Moose the reason Eddie is competly deranged and unpredictable.   “Chicks with guitars on my God they are everywhere”.   Joan Osbourne.   To me there is nothing more attractive than a chick with a guitar.   That is what made the Lilith Fair so great.   There is no equivalent to that festival today.   I really enjoy Halestorm’s verision of the Heart’s 1980s song all I wanna do is make love to you.   I never really cared for this song until I heard Halestorm’s version of it.   I realized why I love this particular verision and that is Lizzy’s vocals are filled with a heaviness love passion and genuine true emotion which is not hard to dig in to.   Halestorm will be classic rock soon!   I either want to be in a band or work for a professional wrestling promotion maybe one of those two dreams will come to fruition.   So it easy to have goals but it is harder to break them down.   There are always endeavors that I at least want to try and not really focus on wheather I will be successful or not.   For that reason I like the title of Chris Jericho’s book No is a four word.   So I am never really focused on success sometimes the indivuals that are the most successful are the most miserable I hope there could be that happy medium something in the middle.   I really wish Dennis DeYoung could be back in Styx at some point.   Dennis DeYoung was of Styx the front man who performed most of the ballad sort of material for Styx.   Even though rocking to paradise is a pretty heavy song in terms of tempo.   Tommy Shaw was the front man who held more of heavier rock sot of material.   That to me is what made their partnership work.   But I guess there will always be certain members that fans wish they should be.   For example: I did not think Jon Bon Jovi would be successful without Ritchie Sambora but Jon continues to be a stadium act.   Oh I wanna play street games with you.

The Stock

   Keep my head down but I keep on swinging lyrics: from Rival Son’s keep on swinging.   Tommy Dreamer said do not mistake my kindness for weakness.   I truly can relate if you are perceived to be “the nice guy” people will eat you alive.   When you stand up for yourself they usually try to make you feel  bad.   But sometimes being the nice guy is not to your benefit.   That does not give anyone a license to be a jerk.   But there is a limit because people will take advantage of your perceived kindness.    The reason I bring this up is I struggle with this.   A guy like Dreamer maybe a nice guy but he will not go down without a fight especially if someone makes it personal.   I feel the exact same way.   The thing I realized watching Impact going after dark main event on Pop between The Impact World Champion Johnny Impact and Fenix they were almost equal in their speed.   It is almost equal which made it such an intriguing match-up.   When Johnny Impact goes into the Spanish fly he can hit it from out of nowhere.   The Spanish fly is almost a version of a power slam but the way he does the move it looks like an illusion.   I have missed it at times because of the quickness.   It reminds me of Amazing Red’s code red move which is like a hurricanrna hook into a power bomb.   When he goes into the move I am not sure who is going to be on the receiving end of it. I have heard some people say the Lord helps those who help themselves which sounds good.   Benjamin Franklin said that the Lord did not.   But there may be some truth to it I do know!   But I think relying on God is a must because human beings are weak without his strength because life is often messy.   I know that as I have gotten older I have had to be more cautious or I am weaker or both.   I love that song pretty when you’re high from Dorothy I just love the relaxed vibe to it.   From  Dorothy’s new wonderful album 28 days in the valley.   Or Dorothy’s empowerment song flawless produced by: Linda Perry.   I love all of just as a sexy vibe to it that is just straight up bad ass.   If you are not sure who Linda Perry is she was a part of the band 4 non blondes they had a hit in  the 1990s called what’s up.   Linda Perry is also a wonderful songwriter and producer.   She has written songs for Pink and produced albums for Pink.   Dorothy’s new album 28 days in the valley is a wonderful album I think you will be all relaxed listening to it.

Extra Notes #2

 If House of Hardcore HOH Impact Wrestling MLW go out of business where will the WWE get there talent?   For example: I heard some fans say why would the WWE let EC3 go?      Because he was not good with his first run with NXT.   So he goes to Impact and becomes developed and established and he is now back in NXT and will hopefully have a great run with the WWE.   The same thing with Drew Galloway/Mclntyre.   Most people are successful going through the NXT system and eventually end up with the WWE.   But some for example: like Sami Callahan said this system was not for me.   Or as he put it he found himself outside of the WWE.   Is that a bad thing?   Maybe from the WWE prospective but I do not think so.   Everyone should know how you cannot play in my sandbox thing worked out it did not work.   The WWE should understand the more promotions there are the more talent the WWE can develop.   Or they can be which I like can be successful outside of the WWE.   The WWE is the industry leader but without these other promotions out there the business will not survive.   I do not want to see the business or art form go away.   Because if all of these other promotions go away all that will be left is the WWE’s paradigm and philosophy and as you know I ain’t a fan.   Again no offense to WWE fans or universe.   Can anyone have a personal opinion without it being a personal attack?   I sure hope so or we are not going to make it.   Tommy Dreamer said his vision for House of Hardcore/HOH is to not sign talent to long term deals but just to provide a platform for professional wrestlers to show their talent.  

Extra Notes


Bound For Glory is tonight Sunday October 14th 2018 LIVE for the first time ever from The Melrose Ballroom in New York City on Pay-Per-View and the Fite TV app.   Tessa Blanchard will defend her Knockouts Championship against Lucha Royalty Taya Valkyrie.   Allie goes inside the Undead Realm to save her best friend Kyra Hogan after she vowed that no one else would be put in the coffin by Su Yung she made a deal with Father James Mitchel to go into the undead realm to get revenge against Su Yung.   I am not sure what this will entail.   Konan of LAX will battle King of the OGS in a concreate jungle death match.   I do not think I have seen a concreate death match so this will be a first for me.   This program between Konan with LAX and King has become a very personal issue!   Eli Drake will continue his open challenge against anyone from New York City.   The Deranged Eddie Edwards will be looking to get revenge against Money Moose after Moose turned his back on Eddie joining The Impact World Champion Austin Aries and Killer Kross.   I wonder if Eddie will bring his Singapore Cain that he calls Kenny to the ring.   I hope whatever happens they can shake hands and can become friends again.   The Weapon Brain Cage will team up with Fenix and Penton JR   to take on Sami Gallihan and OVE which will be under OVE rules.   Johnny Impact will challenge The Impact World Champion Austin Aries for The Impact World Championship.   I hope Johnny will become the new Impact World Champion.   After last night’s emotionally Impact Hall of Fame induction of The Monster Abyss this company is something very speical and will be a memorable night.   The Founder of House of Hardcore Tommy Dreamer said in press conference with Impact promoting Slammiversary 16 that by his definition every wrestler in Impact is a hardcore wrestler because they bust their butts no matter what the situation because the term hardcore is a work ethic.   That the word hardcore was the WWE’s verision of ECW.   That is not a knock on the WWE that is just Tommy’s opinion.   So the term hardcore is not what many fans have been conditioned to believe it is.   From that prospective Bret Hart would be a hardcore wrestler he was a mat technician but also a hardcore wrestler because of his work ethic.   Kennedy said of Fox Business it is in many ways superior to Fox News.   The reason I bring this up is I agree with that very notion.   I am glad that Johnny Impact is the new Impact World Champion becoming the brand new Impact World Champion this past Sunday during Bound For Glory in New York City by defeating The Greastest Man Who Ever Lived Austin Aries.   Aries said that Moose and Killer Kross would be banned from ringside.   But it did not seem to be the case at least to me.      I cannot wait to watch Bound For Glory 2018 on GWN app.   Next Thursday Impact goes after dark at 10/9C on Pop the main event next Thursday night will be Fenix who is one half of The Lucha Brothers challenging the new Impact World Champion Johnny Impact.   It should be an excellent match up.   Maybe Impact going after dark could be a positive I am not sure but I hope so it may work out well.   Sometimes those chances that a lot of people think are crazy work out for the better.      There tapings are taking place at The Melrose ball room in New York and in November the tapings will take place in Las Vegas.   So it may have an MMA feel to it.   In January Impact will go back to Nashville Tennessee where it all started for a pay-per-view.     So I am not sure but Impact going after dark maybe a positive.   In George Michael’s freedom 90 there are lyrics such as: I’ve got a big brand new face for the boys at MTV that was a knock on MTV because some artists hated MTV because they thought it did not matter anymore if the music was good as long the artists looked good in the music video.   Here are some examples: Joe Jackson and Super Tramp   This is probably something most fans would not even think about but there is a reason mainstream classic rock radio will not play 80s rock and the reason is the term hair metal or hair band.      Mainstream classic rock radio   will only play 80s rock on a special with the term hair in it.      It should not be like that 80s rock is an entire generation’s classic rock.   I know some will say the reason mainstream classic rock radio will not play hard rock from the 1980 is that music sucks.     I hear that a lot but let me put that to the side for a mintiue there are many fans who grew up listening to 80s rock and would like to hear it.   The reason I know this there are festivals every year such as: The Monsters of Rock tour there is still an audience out there for it.   The term hair band and hair metal were terms that were made up in 1990s by the media to make fun of the music the musicans and the bands of the era.   I am not sure if most fans know that or they have forgotten.   But that is why mainstream classic rock radio will not play an entire decade of music.   It should not be that way that is some great music once everyone gets past the haircuts and the fashion of that time.   I have grown for a long time now an appreciation for the 1980s hard rock era.   I think and I hope that they will see that there was a pretty great group of musicans and bands that was a part of the era.   Bon Jovi was a part of that era I know Bon Jovi has competly distanced himself and his band from the era also they are a completely different band.   Loveline’s TV show was on MTV late-night the hosted were Adam Carolla DR. Drew and Diana Farr was the CO host.   MTV wanted to have a pretty girl host they had CO hosts such as: Carmen Electra try out.   The best host was probably Diana she was also in Adam Carolla’s crowd founded movie Road Hard.   I keep hearing rock’n roll is dead not on my watch if there is a musican or band that I like I will try and let folks know about it.   It is much easier to keep up with the musicians and bands that I like by signing up for newsletters of musicans and bands that I enjoy.   The reason that people say rock is dead there is no outlet such as: MTV or VH1 to let people know about new music.   Fans have to find it on youtube or find it by accident.   Or know about it already so that is where rock is dead comes.   I have not been good at keeping up with musicians and bands that I love or even new rock that I love.   For example: Dorothy this is an excellent new rock band.   But there is no newsletter for me to sign up.   But hopefully I can keep up with the band because they are really a great band.   The only thing I can hope is that I signed up for Halestorm’s newsletter I can keep up with Dorothy.   Because Halestorm has performed with Dorothy they are confidants.    So that is my hope because I love Dorothy Martin and the rest of the band is okay.   I am just kidding.   Tommy Dreamer said this week no one should feel guilty for booing Roman Reigns first off because it is just an opinion.   I guess some WWE fans feel guilty for not liking Roman Reigns.   This is a form of entertainment it is not like fans were booing Roman at a Hall of Fame ceremony but at an event no one should feel bad about liking or not liking a talent that is what it is all about.   People are getting to sensitive that is what sports entertainment is about genuine emotion which can be scripted.   Which is one of the reasons I love it so much.   Sometimes in professional wrestling or sports entertainment they use real life situations because real life is hard and extremely confusing.

The word or thinking about a script in professional wrestling should not be thought about.   Because once promos are scripted the performers are no longer themselves.   Promos or interviews are just as important if not more then what goes on in the ring depending on the prospective.    Because fans must have a reason to care about the talent.   What makes this complicated all of this is subjective.   There are no right or wrong answers.    I think this is becoming more of a niche product.   That truly breaks my heart.   When I am thinking about this I am not referring to talent.   None of this has to do with talent.   That may seem odd but it is the truth.   Because talent always fluctuate.   I am constanly trying to better myself.   In order to do that I had to not let how I feel effect my mood.   Happiness is a muscle that constanly has to be exercised.   Side Note: Lance Storm said on his podcast Killing The Town with Storm and Cyrus/Don Calis: “That this is not science this is art”.    I am or have been a conflicted person but I think I have experienced much emotional growth.   I am sick of hearing about everything going viral.   That should not be your goal in life.   No one knows your voice in professional wrestling better than a talent.   Sometimes it takes someone to help them find their voice.   But once that voice is found it cannot be redeveloped.   I think trying to do that does more damage than good.   That is not true in all cases.   Sometimes that is the best aspect.   The word snatched up is constanly being used.   The word should be opportunity because that is what it is an opportunity.   Before I go any further I am not bitter.   For example: when The Road Warriors left WCW and singed with the WWE they became The Legion of Doom that was an opportunity.   Side note: New York is often used to describe the WWE.   When referring to New York that is a references to the WWE.   “Being snatched up” should be placed in the same category of “scripts” or the term “character”.        A question that is often asked: What would my character do in a certain situation?   The phrase snatched up makes these indviuals seem stupid.   I find it to be an insulate.    It gives the impression that this monopoly will just continue.   It should be looked as: what I believe it to be.   Which is an opportunity.   Something I think that needs to be taken into account I am truly not sure how the contracts for the WWE and Impact Wrestling vary.   I am for indviuals making as much money as possible.   That has never been an issue for me.   I often use the term rabbit hole to describe the internet.   That is what I believe it has become.   I am not sure psychologically human being were designed to have this imformation just coming out every mintue of every day.   The issue for me technology evolves but human beings have not.   I really would be interested to know what someone who did not grow up with the different forms of technologies.   Or am I overblowing it?   I am not surprised to hear that younger people feel alienated and depressed.   In most cases it is not their fault.   Because they are doing what they feel they have to fit in.   But I know from my own experiences that it is or has become an imformation overload.   My mind cannot process most of it.   I do not own a cell phone or a smart phone and I am greatful!   What   makes it worse most people take their work home with them.   Or they are constanly thinking about it.   By answering by worring about missing e-mails or phone calls.   Now I am not aviating to not work if you are able.   But I think there needs to be a better way.   I enjoy reflecting it has become a must for me.   Most indviuals that may drive nuts.   Because they have been condition to constanly have something going on around them.   There have been sometimes where I was becoming a religious fanatic.   When I pray most of the time I become confused and loose what I want to say.   I am not sure if that gets better with time or worse?   I think or I know that being constantly being exposed to all of the negative imformation I see from the media is not postive.    The media has a right to do what they want to do.   But people are often confused by my cynicism of the media.  But I think of it as using my God given common sense.   Side Note: the WWE used footage or showed pictures of WWE Superstars when they were in Ring Of Honor without buying the company.   I am not sure why the WWE could not do the exact same thing with Impact Wrestling?   I think this headline from The New York Times illustrates my point the headline   read “they are changing the scripts”.   Now that may not seem like a big deal and it may not be but to me it has to do with perception.   Tonight LIVE April 22nd 2018 Impact Wrestling presents Redemption from Orlando Florida.   The Big Bad Gravy Daddy Eli Drake cashes in his Feast Or Fried briefcase teaming up with Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner to challenge LAX for The Impact Tag Team Titles. My favorite wrestler of all time Tommy Dreamer the Founder of House of Hardcore: HOH returns to Impact to team with Eddie Edwards and Moose challenging OVE and Sami Callihan in the first ever House of Hardcore Rules Match.   Petey Williams cashes in his Feast or Fired case to challenge Matt Sydal for The X-Division Championship.   Just added today: Lucha Royalty Taya Valkyrie will challenge Kiera Hogan.   Taya has been going after The Demon Assasin RoseMary in the past view weeks.      They had the first ever Demon’s Dance Match a couple weeks back in the main event on Impact On Pop.   The Main Event: Austin Aries will defend The Impact World Championship in a Triple Threat match against Pentagon Jr. and Fenix from Lucha Underground.   This will be a rematch from WrestleCon from New Orleans!   Bad on love is an excellent track from Robin Beck’s album Human Instinct.   Bad on love is sort of a bluesy track.   It is reminiscent at least to me of early Bonnie Raitt with Little Feat.   There are many elements that are in this song but it is a type of ballad with elements of rock placed into it.   Robin’s vocals are raspy but also sweet.   I am not woke whatever that is.   Things in life change evolution is great emotional growth that happens to human beings that is progress.   But here is the problem: I am really scared of this statement that I have heard constanly for the past three years: it is 2018 we need this gender this race etc.   The problem at least to me I do not believe that this is progress.   I think the biggest issue the social justice warriors have a different approach to progress then I do.   But I wonder what their end game is?   Human beings need purpose and meaning in their lives.   I just wonder if much of what is going on are results: everything being too readily available to this next generation coming up?   Or are they just bored?   I think many on the left are just bored and will never be satisfied with anything.   Sometimes I just want to laugh but unfortunaly the next generation is being poisoned by this if this is “woke” I want no part of being “woke”.   But again the reason this matters the next generations are being poisoned by this nonsense.   That is the best way I know how to describe it.  Why is gratitude school looked down apon?    Because a four year degree is not enough anymore.   People need to have a second degree or more to not only get a degree but to have a successful life.   It takes a ton of money and resoures to live and stay alive.   The average person is just trying to make it.   This is a second reason why I believe taxes should not be higher.   I find it ironic or sad that the people that are constanly complaining about the rich paying their fair share have smart phones and I pads etc.   As I said earlier I do not think people should say tax the rich they need to clarify and say tax the successful.   Because the majority of people have gone out and achieved something.   That is what raising taxes accomplishes.   Also people who are just starting out will not be motivated to improve their life.   I think higher taxes take away incentive that indviuals have.   What I like to do is step back and be in the middle.   I hate to view issues from a right or left propestive but right and wrong.   I want indviuals to have principles but I think people get way too caught up in is this a conservative or liberal postion?   Instead of is this a pragmatic postion?   Which I think can only happen by being in the center not moderate.   Which is competently different.   But I wonder if most of this is a result of cable news.   Because the nature of cable news forces hosts into boxes to fill.   I remember hearing from Lou Dobbs that CNN decided they wanted to go into just a neutral presentation.   Which I guess from my prospective did not last long.   But I do not think that is most people.   Also the people who never stop talking about the rich and their fair share are always the first ones to leave when taxes are too high.   But wait a mintue I thought the rich should pay their fair share?   I hate to use this term because I have no issue with people who are inconsistent with their ideals but this is truly hypocrisy.   But here is what I find disturbing if you have any kind of common sense you are immediately labeled a conservative!   I am troubled by this.   When did this change?   It is truly an interesting question because I have been hearing about this a couple months now that certain people who in the past identified as liberal are now facing backlash from the left.   It is one of the reasons I am really looking forward to the new documentary: No Safe Spaces featuring: Adam Carolla and Dennis Prager.   Most things that human beings crave makes us less happy.   That may seem trivial but it is not.   I try not to have preconceived notions in life.   Which I have to admit is a challenge because it goes against human nature.   But that still does not mean having preconceived notions is a good thing.   In fact people who have preconceived notions usually have a huge chip on their shoulders or they are less happy.   These are the same indviuals who are being triggered constanly.   The main reason I do not care for digital over a cassette or the physical there are aspects to the music you are missing.     I cannot hear a base.   But if I play that same music on a boom box or a radio I usually hear a base that is crisp.   It is almost as if we were not made to listen to music digitally.   I love looking at the art work on an album.   That to me is just a part of it.   It is like going through a museum.   It may seem like it is easier to listen to music on youtube but I think from my perspective I think you are missing out.   The same thing with comdey records I would much rather listen to a comdey album on a stereo system.     I really have to hear a base.   That is the way it is meant to be heard.    It is truly less satisfying.   I think people have this perception that because something is easier that it is better but the level of satisfaction usually goes down.   Just get a good sound system and let that be the end of it.   Here is what I have thought about teachers and or professors that that they knew something I did not know.   For the most part I find that be true.   But in not all cases is that true.   Sometimes what is being taught is nonsense.   So I think what needs to happen young people who attend college need to be taught how to use deductive reasoning to figure out what makes sense and what does not.   I do not think that happening.   Instead of being taught what to think teachers and professors should teach their students how to think critically.   I am not suggesting that professors do not have a right to teach what they want they do.   But I do not see a problem with a professor’s view point being challenge by their students.   I think that should strengthen their arguments.   The ACLU started off by doing some good things for example: letting black people vote was a step in the right direction but then they started going off the rails.   It is unfortunate when they started doing radio PSAs about housing or apartment discrimination which everyone can agree is bad.   But telling people that there is discrimination taking place based only on someone’s ethnicity or race is not the message that should be sent.   Even if there is discrimination that is the wrong message because all that does is cause division.   I am not a fan welfare just for the sake of it.   But there are people who are unable to go out and get it.   Those indviuals should be helped.   But for those who are able bodied and just do not feel like working they should not get any help.   I do not think being on food stamps should be something to be proud.   It should not be encouraged by the government.   It is sort of like the lottery I do not understand why the government endores it.    But I want people who are unable to go out and get some to get all the resoures they need.   But I do not support people who just want to follow their passion.   At the same time I believe people should follow their dreams.   I despise those who pray upon those in need.   Wheather it is televangelists or cash checking places I am not a fan.   I am not against all televangelists some are tremendous.   But those who never stop berating their viewers about giving them money those are the ones I would stir clear.   I enjoy living on fringe it is something I find it to be extremely satisfying.   I hope to stay that way.   Here is an analogy: in the movie Wayne’s World Rob Lowe’s character tells Wayne you can stay here in the big leagues or you can go back to the farm club in Aurora.    I just find being in the trenches to be very pleasing.   I want to keep improving but I do not want to ever become fool of myself.   Which I find is probably easy to do.   Once indviuals get some success.    I hope it does not happen to me.   I guess I cannot really obsess on it but if it happens I hope I will become aware of it.   I am gonna try and hold myself to it.     In plain English I do not want to become a dick.   One of my favorite segements: that Neil Cavuto did on his Fox Business program Cavuto: he would read his hate mail.   Kennedy does the same thing on her show on Fox Business as well.   One of the main reasons I enjoy the segements so much I do not understand why  indviuals spend so much time and engery on hosts they claim to despite!   It does not make any sense to me.   I think they should just move on.   If they are as bad as they say these hosts will go away.   I am not against anyone going to college or graduate school because it is supposedly a path to the middle class.   But at the same time I am not sure it is for everyone.   Everyone’s case is different.   I think some students should be required to learn a trade.   Here are some examples: farmers elections construction workers contractors carpenters etc.   In other words there are many indviuals who need to learn how to work with their hands.   I am not sure why those trades seem to be looked down apon.   “Imagination is everything it is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”  “It is the evidence of things not seen.”   Albert Einstein.    Because no one can see it but you.” Steve Harvey.   “Imagination is more important than knowledge.   Knowledge is limited.   Imagination encircles the world.”       Albert Einstein.   “When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I have come close to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing postive knowledge.”       Albert Einstein.   “The life God has for you is not in your education it’s in your imagination.”      Steve Harvey.    “What is God still showing you in your immagination?”    “It is impossible to think an impossible thought you ain’t that smart.   So if it is in your head you have to ask yourself how did it get there?   The problem is most people think there immagination is hocuses pocus it’s really not that’s just God showing you a preview of a coming attraction he has for you.”      Steve Harvey.   If you react to your immagination that is where you’re real life is.      It is just God showing you a coming attraction he has for you.”   Steve Harvey.   “The moment you do not believe in your immagination you negate what he has for you.”     Steve Harvey.   “Everything you can imagine could be a preview to life’s coming attractions.”      Steve Harvey    “That is why he gives you immagination.”     Steve Harvey.   “Please stay away from my freedom”.   Adam Carolla Prager University: Don’t make it worse don’t be one of those people who adds to the signs at the beach.”   Adam Carolla Prager U 2018   “Don’t make it worse.”   Adam Carolla Prager U I can say at this moment there are people in positions of authority who are making it worse.   I would be fine with it if I thought they really cared but unfortunaly I do not believe that to be the case.   Why does it seem as if we are policing each other?   It is truly sad I find it to be the height of narcissim.   Let’s ruin everybody’s party instead of live and let live which is a classically liberal postion.   I do love Jello pudding my favorite type of pudding has to be the yellow kind.   Or what would be considered vanilla pudding.   I hear a lot about instant pudding it sounds tremendous to me.   The main reason I have so much respect for construction workers they is no room for error.   Businesses and schools now have a zero tolerance policy now but instead of zero tolerance I would like to get to back to common sense.   I am sick of hearing about “toxic masculinity.   I am not suggesting that masculinity is a good or bad thing but telling young boys that they should be ashamed of their masculinity is a bad message to send.   What is a pizza pie?   Is it a pizza with sausage and pepperoni I am not sure what it is it sounds great.   I had not heard of a pizza pie until recently but I love the pizza where you can fold it like taco.   I have never had a pudding pop but those look great as well.   Is there such a thing as an instant pizza pie?   I am not a fan of everything being instant but I like the idea of an instant pizza pie and instant vanilla or chocolate pudding.   I like what I see there are so emotions that are connected to this single from Romeo’s Daughter’s self-titled debut album Romeo’s Daughter.   I like what I see is truly gorgeous.   If this heart should break it is going to break over you.   That is truly gorgeous!   There are not many times in life where a pretty girl will say I like what I see.   I am just assuming.   I take no joy in saying this but it matters how women look.   Now that is not the most important attribute but to say it does not matter I would be lying.   But it is not the only thing that matters.   It is one of those painful truths of life.   Students are now being taught that apperences do not matter which is a lie.   The problem with having a slippery slope in life everything can be taken to extermes I think common sense should be desired.   But unfortunaly common sense has become something that should be debated at all times.     In my view the differences between right and wrong is not subjective.   The only exception could be my definition of pornography and another person’s definition of what it is.   Or how I believe a person can enjoy a striptease or go to strip clubs and still be a moral person.     I really enjoyed general music in middle school it was somewhat fun.   I got to learn about the musical alphabet listen to the radio and play rock’n roll jeopardy or “music jeopardy”.     I won a Best of Billy Joel album which is two volumes.   I am not sure how that happened but it did.   I did not even spin the wheel of fortunate they had.   But that was a lot of fun but I will say it did make me feel like I was in a different world but I did enjoy it.   I really want to spin a big wheel it just looks awesome.   It could be the Wheel of Destiny from The Man Show the wheel from Singled Out on MTV or the wheel from Wheel Of Fortunate I want to spin it.   Or something like when a CO hostess such as: Vanna White or Carman Electra would just have a contestant pick one of the categories they would like to do.   This usually happened on dating game shows that took place on beach houses.  In 1985 Live Ad too place Queen performed and Led Zepplin reunited.   It did not go well but I think Live Ad is well known for Queen’s performance and Led Zepplin reuniting.      Tina Tunner performed with Mick Jagger.    It is easy to forget how huge Tina Tunner was during this time.   But at that time Live Ad was built as that generation’s Woodstock.   Well it did not work out that well.   Live Ad was a concert to raise money for Africa.   Also in 1985 Coke introduced New Coke.   Comdiean: Bill Cosby was a spokesperson for both Coke and Jello pudding.    But I think many Coke fans thought New Coke was too sweet.   Also that year “Till Tuesday became a #1 hit wonder with their single voices carry.     Voices carry won for best music video at the MTV music awards in 1985.   At that time this type of music was considered to be an underground scene so for a band such as: “Till Tuesday to have mainstream success it broke new ground for many up and coming musicans and bands.   In Juliana Hateflied’s memoir: When I grow up she refers to Aimmee Mann and the band X as: “creatures of the night”.   “Your gift will make room for you”.   Not your education there is nothing wrong with an eduction but if you do not use your gift your eduction is useless.   That is not true in all cases but imagination is not encouraged for the most part by educators I think that is a shame.   I think both education and immagination should be encouraged.   Because if immagination is not encouraged indviuals will not take chances which is a part of life.   It is an unfortunate part of life but at the same time I want to reach my full potential that I was given by God before I die.   I think most people would like to do the same exact thing.   It is a mistake to believe that the party will go on forever.   There are probably many people who mess around and die and never take that chance.   Which there is nothing wrong with that because people have to pay bills and earn a living.   But many people are unfulfilled which is why people need to be allowed to take chances.   Which goes back to imagination and education in my view they go hand and hand.   I have a question I hear both progressive and conservative commentators: say the rhetoric needs to be tone down.   Are they referring to both parties or are they referring to what they find individually objectionable?   Because tone down the rhetoric is almost impossible to define because so called “hate speech” is protected by the first amendment.   It is impossible to define what rhetoric that is being referred to without having a bias.   I guess I can say this again but poltical correctness and all the rest of it as gone way too far.   Some of it is legit cases such as: rape that should be frowned upon.   But of some of this other stuff I think society is going in the wrong direction.   I think unfortunaly what is happening people are being guided by how they feel not by anything else.   I am not saying that feelings do not matter but if everyone was guided by their feelings society would break out into chaos overnight.   When I was growing up I was taught that how I felt did not matter.   But it did not matter to me what people said to me.      It got worse as I got older but I think telling young people that the only thing that matters is how they are being made to feel is a horrible message to send.   This is messing with an indivual’s right to pursue happiness.   One of the aspects that makes The United States Of America the greastest experiment in world history we have a  document  where we are able to pursue happiness what is going on with the #me too movement is interfering with that right.   I do not understand rooting for businesses and people who bust their butts to fail.   Here is a huge surprise for people I do not even want businesses and people that I do not like to fail.   I do not understand taking any kind of joy in seeing people or businesses fail.   The only thing that I think is happening is a huge epidemic of narcissim at the highest order.   I try to be very cognitive of not being narcisstic in anyway but I probably fail for the most part.    Please understand that I am not referring to rape or any other negative behavior I am referring to the differences between men and women.   I know the left is doing its damndest to hammer this notion that men and women are exactly the same which is wrong.   Not only is it wrong it is dangerous!   It seems to me everytime we start making real progress it goes to extermes.   I think it is part of human nature but all human being are is shaved apes to pretend any different I think we are fooling ourselves  I think also this is having an effect on mental health.   People take care of everything else when it comes to their health except their mental.   Here is an analogy: think of a person’s mental health like a car that needs an occasional tune up.   Some may need more tune ups more often than others.     I think there will never be a perfect world like some on the left think is possible I am not sure where to start. The mainstream media asks what can we do about guns?   Every problem at least in my opinion can be solved by focusing more on mental health.   I think once that is the focus many of the issues that this country faces will diminish greatly!   Also let’s get back to a little common sense please making boys more like girls is not the answer.   Boys should not be shunned from playing games such as: tag or cops and robbers.   I played guns all the time with friends.   Which I problay could not do today.   I remember most of the chracters that I used to draw because I let my imagination run free.   There are usually warnings signs for troubled kids.     I know that I am over simplifying a complicated issue but in most of the cases that involve mass shootings usually they have one thing in common mental health.   One of the great joys in life is that men and women are different.   Just because something is a business why does that trump common sense?   I guess because I have never run a business it is diffcult for me to understand.   But at the same time let’s use common sense.   As I said earlier I think people are being guided by how they are made to feel not by what is actually being said.   An example: if you ask a woman how she looks in a dress and your response is I don’t know she may interpret what you said as calling her fat.   But you did not call her fat that is how you made her feel there is a huge difference.   Other than that businesses and corporations are not bad they are what they are.   But to the left businesses and corporations are evill because they have the audacity to try to make a profit.   It is sad that Senator Elizabeth Warren tells her constituency that the system is rigged against them.   But she has done quite well for herself.   So how long has the system been rigged?   Or are you telling your constituency that you have been touched by God but they cannot get past this unfair system?   The average person who the left never stops claiming to be championing never seems to take into account that the average person gets to keep only half of their money the rest of it goes to taxes.   I do not understand what is immortal about people wanting to keep half of their money.   I understand that I have never worked for a living but I think it is immortal to redistribute income to people who are able bodied but do not feel like working.   So please stop demonizing indviuals who are making a profit and contributing to the economy.   They are not the enemy.
