Dear Readers

Something I felt like sharing!!  I have been thinking a lot life in recent weeks and haven’t always kept my confidence or a clear picture of what I wanted from life. I always considered life as an open book that is just written through time and never really given a thought of how to make it the picture clearer. I know that life isn’t a simple character and requires depth. I have been adding more depth to my personality more stability to who I am. At this point I still don’t know who I am or where I am suppose to be going or who will be there when I get there, but I can hope that certain people that have entered my life remain a part of it when I get to where I am going.                 Fact is that I can’t stand leaving any stone unturned or shifting my focus from what I thought matter the most. For the better part of twenty years wrestling was in some form or fashion the most important thing in my life. I...

Trying something New

Last week I finally opened a door that I thought I closed a long time ago!! Five years ago was the first time I attempted to stream on Twitch, but nothing ever happened and the stream never went live for a variety of reasons. At the time I barely knew the first thing about video recording and I was just winging it and I ended up feeling overwhelmed and embarrassed in the end. I gave up on the idea of streaming blaming it on my set up and ignoring the fact that I was just trying to protect myself from feeling the way I did when I didn't know anything about streaming, recording, or editing.  I'm not trying to make excuses instead I'm more trying to call myself out for not trying to learn and growing my knowledge of something that could actually help me expand to help my site. At one point, growing Wrestling Express was my one and only focus, but I didn't know how and instead of trying to learn how to do it I gave up. Looking through the same rose colored glasses you'l...

Doing some Thinking

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about life the reason for that is hearing so many people around me talk about the plans they've got for themselves in the near future. The one common thread of in everyone's plan is that thought in the back of my mind how everyone will move on and leave me behind them instead of taking me with them in their new plan. I know it isn't right for me to assume that "friends" wouldn't want me to remain in their life even as things change, but it's easy to always think positive. Bearing that reasoning in mind it has forced me to start thinking about how I can make my own plan for myself like my friends have done for themselves.  At first I thought the right decision was going to be cutting them out and moving on from them before they move on from me. Ignoring them and just chalking things up to another group of people to cut out, to prove that they weren't real friends and were just being nice to me for whatever reason. ...

A Bit Distracted

I have had a difficulty from time to time of stretching myself far to thin and not giving some stuff enough attention that it stays current and shows that little bit extra. I would be lying if I said YouTube has been taken care of well in recent weeks and I could easily blame it on my vacation coming up, but that'd be a lie and an easy excuse. It's not that I'm uninterested in giving YouTube a serious try it's more the sitting down and doing without getting distracted or starting to do something else that I can get done easier. I know that doesn't come off well for me, but I've really just been giving all my attention to one specific part of my life that I've been ignoring every other aspect.  I will not make any guarantee for anything, but what I can say is suddenly I feel a lot more motivated then I have in the past and I think I found the reason for the lacking interest. I know balancing time a little better might help a little bit too, and I will be doin...

A Rough Start

It has been a little bit of an adjustment period actually trying to put YouTube in a little bit of a spotlight and that really changes everything. I mean for the better part of five years YouTube was just there and even though it doesn't mean I don't like YouTube it's the fact that I never put YouTube in front. I have a difficulty finding the interest in sitting around and making video. It has nothing to do with anything YouTube related it's more the idea of not always wanting to record. I enjoy making videos, but I don't always enjoy spending the time recording the videos even if I've got something to say about the subject.  From the start YouTube was just something I could do, because it was fun and it had nothing to do with me possibly making a career out of anything. It's not that I didn't have faith it's the fact that I didn't want to invest the time or energy into creating and learning how to grow YouTube. Especially if it meant investing m...

The Right Place to Start

I have really been struggling to figure out what right words to say to really begin this blog on the right foot. The best way to do that is explaining the name changes and why the decision to re-brand makes sense at this point.  Around a month or so ago I started thinking about re-branding my YouTube channel to allow for more of wide range of content to be present on the channel. For the last five years it had been called Wrestling Express and was an extension of the website. However, I never really let YouTube stand alone and only let be a tool to further push what was on the site or the point of the site. I've always been thinking though of a better all encompassing name to represent a brand rather than just the website, because I felt like Wrestling Express was a little limiting. Wrestling will always be a focal point for me, because it's the place where most of my knowledge lies, but I had opinions and knowledge on other subjects I wanted to share and that's the reason ...
