   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 14^th 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.  

#7

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 22^nd 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.

I love the term mark the reason I love the term it means to me to be fully immersed in a product.   There is no such thing as a smart mark.     There are internet marks but there is no way fans can be smart to a product that they are fans.   So smart marks do not existed.   It is an oxymoron.   The term smart mark does not make any sense.     It is sort of like a popcorn match on a card.  A popcorn match is what you think it is.   It is a throw a way match or a match where the fans get up and get popcorn.   I am not really sure those matches really existed either.   Maybe those are matches that would work elsewhere but not in “The big leagues”.   For example: I always thought the way the WWE’s presented their hardcore division the Hardcore Championship as a throw away.   I think if you look at that history there were a pretty good group of indviuals who held that championship.   Raven Perry Saturn even Kane is a former WWE Hardcore Champion.   So I do not mean any disrespect to anyone who held the title.   But it was defended on a playground!   I have thank the voice of ECW Joey Styles for reminding me of that fact.      The term mark is usually used for a shill.   For example: I often have been called a TNA mark.   Which I am I am a proud TNA mark.   But I still do not like that it is a derogatory term.   I think it should be celebrated.   Also performers should never just cater to the internet marks.   I am not saying they do not matter because there are many great internet marks out there.   I am just saying performers cannot let the wrestling newsletters dictate their performances.   Because usually what the internet wrestling newsletters enjoy are just a bunch of high spots and bumps.   There is no storytelling or any psychology to a bunch of high spots and bumps.   The casual wrestling fans tune out I tune out.   So what if a match does not get a 5 star rating from a newsletter.   The WWE gets that for the most part and that is one of the many reasons the company thrives.   A mark could be fans that you are trying to make money.    Hence the term money mark.   What is wrong with that?   That should be a good thing in my mind.   Because the more interested can be built on a program.   A program in professional wrestling is a feud or and I use an asterisk because I do not use this term but it is used constanly storyline.   But a money mark should be a good thing.   A money mark will pay their hard earned money to watch a pay-off.   A pay-off is the last match to end a program which is usually on a Pay-Per-View.   Or an event that is on an app or a network because the way fans are viewing content is changing.   Consumers can now have more of a choice to not have to pay $50 bucks for a pay-per-view.   They can pay $9.99 a month by buying The WWE Network.   Or by downloading The Fite app.   Which features all combat sports including: MMA professional wrestling and boxing.   In China pro wrestling is considered a combat sport.   Or they do what I did and download Anthem Sports and Entertainment’s Global Wrestling Network or GWN for $.7.99 a month.   Fans can still purchase a pay-per-view for $50.00 or they can get it by buying a package.   The point is the way fans consume content is changing.   A mark does not mean those fans are stupid.   That is what a lot people think of when they hear the term mark.   Scott Leavy said on his podcast The Raven Effect that he knew he could not have become Raven in the WWE because he knew he had to make the Raven gimmick connect with an audience on a smaller stage because no one was going to buy it on the main stage first.      Because if fans perceive you has something that is how people relate to you unless you leave and comeback as something else.      So Scott established himself as Raven in ECW.   Then he eventually goes back to the WWE as: Raven.   He went back to the WWE on his terms.   Which I think everyone needs to do if they want to be successful.   Scott also said performers should not feel they have to be in the WWE just because they feel they have to be there.   For example: Drew Galloway leaves the WWE and then goes to Impact Wrestling and establishes himself there then signs back with the WWE and goes to NXT.   Drew did that on his own terms.   Or Bobby Roode leaves Impact Wrestling in 2016 after he reformed Beer Money with The Cowboy James Storm but he was not happy in his postion so he leaves and signs with the WWE.   Bobby Roode goes to NXT and now he is successful on WWE’s brand Smackdown LIVE.   There were a lot of fans that were not satisfied with Jay Lethal’s work in Impact Wrestling so he leaves and goes to Ring Of Honor.   I made a comment that it does not matter who’s on the roster at any given time.   I think many people misunderstood what I meant.   I read many comments on social media where people were complaining that all of Impact Wrestling’s top stars were gone.   But the point I was trying to make I think if certain wrestlers were still in the same positions Impact would have a problem.    Because performers have to leave to re-establish themselves to a new audience a new product.   Professional wrestlers are products and when they leave a company they can go to a new company.   Or they can leave and comeback when they know more of what their gimmicks are and what their strengths are.     They can comeback better than they were earlier.   But that was not a knock on Jay Lethal or Frankie Kazarian they should have had better runs in Impact I do not disagree.   I think one of Kaz’s best matches was with Kurt Angle on Impact.   I never really knew how good Kaz is until he worked on Impact with Kurt Angle.   But they are both in better positons now.   Instant grandafaction would eventually kill the business because the best way to make a profit is to keep the audience coming back for more.   Jim Ross said something I like he said no booker that was any good never had talents that leave and go on to seemly greener pastures and what happens the spots opens up.   That gives another induvial a chance to connect with the audience.   Because I do not care how much of a draw performers are for a particular company eventually those performers just do not fit into a particular spot anymore.   So instead of thinking of it as a negative like so many on the internet do think of it as a postive.   When they leave and go on to greener pastures.   There are fans who debate on who will leave a company next.   I think that is such a waste of time.   It is great because what it means performers have more control over their runs with companies.   For example: one of the new Vice Presidents of Impact Wrestling Scott D’Amore looks at Bobby Roode now on WWE’s Smackdown LIVE and says I had a hand in that.   I think that the best way to view it.   But so many of the internet fans are focused on which one of their favorites did not get a push.   I think Bobby did pretty well during his Impact runs.   Examples:  Team Canada Beer Money and his single runs.      Steve Astuin on his podcast said I am not sure they really knew what to do with the guy meaning Impact Wrestling.     Steve has a right to his opinion but I am not sure what he is referring.   Bobby Roode is on a list of the longest raining Impact Global Champions in Impact history.   Chris Sabin and Alex Shelly could have better single runs in Impact.   Or as a tag team as: The Motor City Machine Guns.   I think they had pretty good runs but they could have had better runs.      Don Calis is also a new Vice President Of Impact Wrestling.   Impact has moved their headquarters to Toronto Ontario Canada.   Because Anthem Sports and Entertainment is a Canadian based company.       It is scary when things change especially in business.  I am a little apprehensive.   But I hoping for the best.   The same critics of Impact are still out there.   But Impact has made some great strides this year with the name changes from TNA to Impact GFW back to Impact again.    The reason the company changed GFW back to Impact they do not have the rights to the name GFW Jeff Jarrett does.   I am hoping that Jeff Jarrett comes back to Impact.   It is the company he founded.    When the mainstream thinks of TNA they usually do not think of Total Non-Stop Action.   But I really do not care about name of the company.   I think the brand of Impact Wrestling is more important than the name of the company.   I think the Impact brand was a great product this past year.     Just like the ECW brand that I am a mark.   I hate to see The Cowboy James Storm leave Impact after being with Impact since the beginging of the company.   But I wish him well whatever he does.    I love the guy!   I love The Cowboy’s gimmick.   James Storm is the only guy that could have made both Beer Money with Bobby Roode and The Cowboy gimmick successful!   The Cowboy James Storm had some matches in the WWE’s developmental territory NXT in 2015.   But The Cowboy decided to go back to Impact in January of the next year.     Now he is leaving and more are going to leave Impact when their contracts are up.   But I have faith in both new Vice Presidents of Impact Wrestling Scott D’Amore and Don Calis and in Jeremy Borash as well.   Jeremy has been with Impact from the beginging.   He does so much for the company that I and most do not realize.   Don Calis worked as The Jackal in the WWE.   Also as Cyrus in ECW but not as a part of ECW but he was working for TNN when ECW was on TNN.   Which he said is his best run in the business.     TNN is now Spike.   Bill O’reilly said about Disney buying Fox that Disney wants to be like a Netflix.   But Disney did not purchases Fox News or Fox Business.   That was something many thought was going too happened but thankful they did not.   Disney purchased 20^th Century Fox.   Which are Fox’s entertainment properties.   Such as: FX and FXX.   I think FX has had some of the best shows on television Sons Of Anarchy and Justified.   FXX shows every Simpsons Espiode ever.   Also Archer moved from FX to FXX.   So this maybe a great deal if Disney does not interfere in the content.   I love the program that Perry Saturn and Raven had in the WWE in 2001.   This was during the invasion angle which Raven said in an interview that the invasion angle was a crime against nature.   The sad thing about the invasion I think it could have worked.    But WWE did not want it to be successful in my opinion.     I remember getting behind Stephanie Mccmhon as the new owner of ECW.   Just because I love the ECW brand so much.   During the invasion angle the WWE had ECW wrestlers such as: Mike Awesome Tommy Dreamer and Raven.   Raven and Perry Saturn had a program where Perry falls in love with a mop.   Perry dumps his on screen girlfriend Terri Runnels for the mop he called mopy.   Terri joins Raven in the program against Perry Saturn.   My favorite match of the program took place during WWE’s Unforgiven pay-per-view in 2001.   I am probably the only person who enjoyed this program.   I enjoyed the match between William Regal Versus Raven during WWE’s Invasion pay-per-view in 2001.   The Invasion pay-per-view was one of WWE’s highest buy rate pay-per-views.   It was a pretty good pay-per-view.   The opening match was Edge and Christan Versus Lance Storm and Mike Awesome this was a tremendous match.   Lance Storm and Mike Awesome were a great tag team.   Mike Awesome was an impressive big man.   Christan really showed how great he was in this match.   Jerry Lawler said on his podcast Dinner with the King that the WWE has to have a place where they develop new talent.   Because finding new talent is the life blood of the WWE.    Which is NXT in Orlando Florida.   If I said anywhere in this project about the WWE retraining talent I should have used the term develop.   NXT is a successful brand where the WWE develops talent.   That is not a bad thing.   But I do not think every talent in the business that comes through NXT will make it.   But that does not mean any talent that is not successful in NXT is not good enough to be successful in the business overall.   I think anyone of that mindseat is part of a bigger problem.    I have faith in the new Vice Presidents of Impact Wrestling Don Calis and Scott D’Amore.   The WWE fuels the professional wrestling industry.   If other places such as: House Of Hardcore/HOH Ring Of Honor/ ROH and Impact Wrestling can be breeding grounds for the WWE I am fine with that.   But the talent needs to be developed Impact is a place to do that.   For example: Eli Drake has been an excellent Impact Global Champion since winning The Global Championship in a 20 man gauntlet back in Auguast at Destination X.   Alberto EL Parton will challenge Eli Drake for The Global Championship on the first Impact of 2018 on Thursday night January 4^th 2018.   He defeated Johnny Impact in a six man tag match to become the #1 contender to The Global Championship.   In what was an excellent six man tag.   Petey Williams had another excellent showing in this match.   Petey Williams and Eli Drake had a tremendous match for The Global Championship on Thursday’s edition of Impact On Pop on November 16^th 2017.    One of the reasons I enjoyed THQ’s WWE Smackdown series so much there were new moves that were added to each new game.     I was always interested in the new entrance music of the new wrestlers that were added to each new game.   Because I thought about the new entrance music that friends of mine could use for the wrestlers that they created in the game.   I may not agree with everything Vince Russo has done in the business of professional wrestling but this approach I think he has is an absolute must approach.   Vince Russo would take each induvial performer and see what their personalities were.   Just trying to find what makes the induvial performer tick.    Because each professional wrestler has their own unique personality.   No booker writer or booking committee can ever tell a performer in wrestling how to talk and act that is the goal of each induvial performer.   For example: The American Dream Dusty Rhodes.   No one could tell Dusty how to cut a promo because he had his own unique personality.   All that was done he magnified his own personality to a 1000 percent or to the most.   To give an odd example: conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.   I remember seeing an interview with Rush on the Today show where an interviewer told Rush off the air he is both calm and polite.   She asks what happen to you when that light goes on?   His responds was he is the same guy.   I have a theory on what happens he magnifies his personality to the most.   Or turns his volume way up.   I know that is a bizarre example but I think it applies.       The King Jerry Lawler the same thing he used his own personality to connect with the audience.   Broken Matt Hardy or {Woken} in the WWE.    The main reason that connected it is his own creation.   The Impact Global Champion Eli Drake I think is another example.   Because he has a natural arrogance to him.   No one could tell Eli what to sound like.    The reason I am fond of the new executive Vice Presidents of Impact Wrestling Scott D’amore and Don Callis approach is they are letting talent keep their intellectual properties.   So when talents leave Impact Wrestling in this particular example they can take their gimmicks and personas or chracters with them.   This in my opinion is the best thing that could happen for the talent.   Because in most cases they created their gimmicks and personas.   I think more people will be more incline to work with Impact now.     The fans are the ones that will benefit the most from this approach.   An example: the WWE is the biggest platform to perform.     Because now talent will be able to introduce their products to new audiences.   There are a few questions in wrestling that need to be answered in order to understand this unique art form.   The first question: the fans want to believe in who you are?     The second question is connected to the first.   The fans want to believe in why talents are doing what they are doing?  The last question:  that needs to be answered: Can a fan describe to someone who is a casual fan or someone who is not who the talent is in a concise and understandable way.    That will peak their interest.    Talents must have a describable character that is easily understandable to a general audience.   I used the term character for that particular reason.       Once those questions are answered the talent can make that person believe everything about that particular talent.   But if none of these questions can be answered nothing will matter to a casual viewer.     For example: when Al Snow would go to dinner he would take the plastic head with him.   He would set up a table for himself and the plastic head!   Al would actually have a conversation with the plastic head.   Al Snow did this to protect what he sold the audience.      It is similar to when you see a movie when you watch a movie you want to buy into the movie.   For example: if you see a dent in a car and the dent is not there a second later you are immediately taken out of the world that the movie is trying to get you to buy.  Also what happens you do not enjoy that movie.   Or you do not enjoy it as much.   The same thing with professional wrestling fans want to believe in what talent is selling them.   That goes along with respecting the fans.   Even if a talent in wrestling is influenced by someone or something they still have to put their own personality to it.   Which makes it your own.   For example: A comedian who is successful maybe influenced by other comics and other things.   But they have to use their own life experiences in order to connect with the audience.   Another similar example: if you were going to produce a movie you would get everything you need to make that movie.   So at no point would the viewers be taken out of what you are selling them.   Whatever you are selling you do not want to take the audience out of what you are trying to sell them.   Once a talent forms a gimmick a persona or a character whatever it is.   They have to have something that a booker or promoter can sell whatever that product is.   The talent has to create their own product so that talent can form a partnership with the booker or promoter.   The booker gives them a platform now it is up to the performer to connect with an audience.     But that booker has to find something to exploit in that talent to make money.   I often read comments from fans that this particular talent sounds to make like another person.   Or this person performs too much like this person.   But that performer still must have some of their characteristics from their own induvial personality to make it their own.   By some of what I have read from fans I think they can get too caught up in this performer is too much of a copy of another performer.   But I think in doing that they are missing what makes that particular performer unique.   Every professional wrestler is in business for themselves.   A promoter gives every talent a platform to connect with the audience.   What talents do with that platform is up to them.   A promoter gives a talent an opportunity to sell themselves to the fans.   Matches on television are essentially commercials that talents use to sell themselves to try and connect with fans.    The products are the wrestlers.   The more a performer connects with the fans   the more that performer moves up the more money that partnership will make.     But eventually that run that any particular performer has will come to an end.   That does not mean that a talent is not good anymore that just means that particular run has ended.   The best part of this a performer can reinvent themselves.   A promoter can sell that performer again.   But now that talent is a new product.    Now a talent has more of idea of what their gimmick is and what their strengths are then they did in the past.   For example: The Undertaker has reinvent himself and has had about 10 competly different gimmicks throughout his career.   I am not sure on the exact number of times The Undertaker has reinvent himself that was just a guess on my part.   But The Undertaker has always remained relevant.   Al Snow once said if you just want to be in the WWE that just tells him that you just want to be famous.   He was not saying that was not a great goal.   But I got from listening to him it does not matter what platform you are performing it depends on how that platform is used.    Al made this statement clear to his students he said do not base your success on just being in the WWE.   This is what I got from what he said.   That the WWE is the largest platform to perform.    Which is also the biggest audience.   But think of the WWE being the best opportunity to sell your brand to the most amount fans.    For example: Al is able to make a living just based on the time he spent in the WWE.   The reason he is able to do this he was able to sell his brand on the largest platform he could perform.   In my opinion being able to perform and leave on your own terms is the biggest measure of success for any professional wrestler.   Because they have made themselves valuable enough where they can now sell their brand anywhere.   Professional wrestlers are essentially jigsaw pieces that a booker places in positions to create a certain picture.   Sometimes no matter how much a performer connects with fans they just do not fit into that particular picture.   But six months from now or a year any performer maybe the piece of the puzzle that a booker could potentially build the whole picture around.   It takes a lot of time and effort to develop a talent in professional wrestling.   I think one of the main reasons for that there are so many variables to consider.   Which makes professional wrestling the most unique form of entertainment but it is also extremely challenging.   For that reason fans need to be extremely patient.    For example:  I have read comments from fans that say if this does not happen soon for this particular talent they are not watching or supporting whatever the product.   I guess it is natural for fans to feel that way.   I have probably felt that way at certain times just being a fan.   But the product is not just instant gratification.   In my opinion the basics are: taking unique personalities and putting them in a situation where they can have a conflict.      It is not about giving two performers a script and requiring them to memorize it.   This is not acting.   The reason I think fans are attracted to professional wrestling in the first place the performers were allowed to be themselves.   For example: most of the promos done by Dusty Rhodes or Ric Flair I guarantee were done off the time of their heads for the first time on live television on Superstation TBS.    Or they were method actors in a certain way.     I am not really sure if that term applies here.   But there could be a method to it depending on what could have been their presentation.   Which needs to be taken into account.    Once the presentation is taken into account the product can be changed accordingly.  If a booker or promoter etc cannot establish or does not know what the presentation it is done.        Because what always needs to be done in professional wrestling performers are extenuating their strengths and hiding their weaknesses.   A second example: that comes to mind Jimmy Hart.   Those promos on Memphis television had to be done off the cuff live every week.   Both Jerry Lawler and Jimmy Hart were talents that people paid to see because of their own unique induvial personalities.   The word induvial is key in personalities.   Or there are two sides on one side you have a performer that the fans love and have a personal connection.   On the other side there is a talent that the fans think is a horrible human being that does not have any remediable characteristics where fans can feel sympathy or compassion toward.   Get both of them in a situation where they can have a conflict that is a way to draw money.   It is that simple.   It is no different than the carny circuit.   If any of this makes me a mark then I am a proud mark.   So when talents are not in a postion they want to be in leave.   Because they could be wasting both time and money there will always be someone who will be glad to take an opportunity.   It does not matter what postion or where a talent is placed that is a still opportunity.   Hopefully it will mater at a certain point but what the business of professional wrestling consist of are:  opportunities not guarantees there is a huge difference.   It all has to do with taking advantages at any given time when they come up.   Because getting a spot and keeping it in any wrestling company not just in the WWE is extremely rare.   Also if money is a professional wrestler biggest motivation Al Snow’s advice is do not get into the business because very few make millions of dollars.   Al said only get into the business if you have a need to do it like he did.   Shawn Micheals said you cannot do this job if you do not enjoy it and have a passion for it.    Eddie Trunk is someone who every hard rock or heavy metal musican or band should thank.   Because Eddie has been sharing and celebrating hard rock and metal for 36 years on radio etc.   Eddie Trunk is keeping the hard rock and metal scene alive for everyone.   I love many things that I consider to be hard rock and not metal.   I think the most important aspect to all of this fans need to be authentic in the music that they love.   I feel the same way about everything that fans love and support.   My favorite song from Queen is Bohemian Rhapsody.   I probably love the song because it reminds me of the movie Wayne’s World but it is still an excellent song.   In Canada: it is peace order and good government.   In the United States Of America: it is life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.   Pursuing happiness is a noble goal.   Pursing fun is not a noble goal.   The worst sin a human being can do is commit evill in God’s name.   Or in another way killing in the name of God is worst sin to commit in God’s name.   Killing in the name of God and committing suicide but that at least in my opinion are two different things.   Others may believe differently and that is okay.   But I do believe that there are many variables to consider.   I do believe that depression is real some do not.   I am not excusing suicide but at the same time I think acting as if depression does not exist really does no one any good.   I do believe and I count myself in this group of indviuals that have a level of sadness in them.   So my heart goes out to everyone struggling with depression.   It is a constant battle with one’s nature but it is a noble battle none the less.   It is not easy to maintain a level of happiness at any given moment that maybe one of the points of life.   I don’t know.   It is a very bad to go through life thinking that when horrible things happen in life that God is punishing you.   First of all it is not true.   Just think about all injustices that takes place in the world.   I will go along with this notion: that God maybe tries at certain points in life to get our attention but in my view God does that only for our good to draw us closer to him.   Not to hurt us.   Many biblical scholars say that the main reason the book of Job was written is to correct that thinking.   It is a narcissist way to go through life as well.   It is easy to get into that mindseat thinking differently is not.   I can understand why some would make the arugment that depression is not real because the majority of people do not care how you feel they only care how you act.   But I still think that it is a mistake.   I would hope that most people desire happiness.   I understand why some want to be perceived as victims because they get sympathy from people but I do not understand it.   I have never percved myself as a victim I tend to not think about myself very much believe it or not.
