This Is The One Where I Geek Out Over Wrestling...


So this day has come and gone. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, so they say... I've actually set out to prove that's not always the case, but have yet to do so. Usually when someone says something isn't possible, doesn't make you want to prove them wrong? I can say that's the case for me about 90% of the time. Of course, if it's breaking a law, I'm not that eager to do so, but if it's an actual accomplishment in a field that I'm somewhat interested in, then why not?

I'm still anxiously awaiting the release of two DVD projects that I was fortunate enough to be apart of. One is Derrick Tennant & Friends, which was actually filmed last January. It was a great show, and from what I was told my set was the only one that didn't need editing so much. (Could it be because I always work clean?!?) The other one is a bigger deal, as I'm one of the comedians featured on Thor Ramsey's New Comedy Revolution 2. That particular DVD will be available on my website, once it's released. Be sure to get your copy there, as it will most likely be cheaper on my site than at a live show (SHHH!!! Don't tell anyone...)

As mentioned on my facebook yesterday probably my all-time favorite wrestling match was Bret Hart vs. Curt Hennig for the Intercontinental Championship at Summerslam 1991. The reason I say that is the technical wrestling alone was phenomenal! It was one of the first pay-per-views I actually watched live as it happened. Finding out later though, Curt Hennig was injured before the match even took place. Rather than forfeit the title, he chose to wrestle Bret Hart out of respect so that he could drop the title to him, which also turned out to be the first submission victory over Curt Hennig during that run in the WWF. That particular match actually launched Bret Hart's singles' career and made him my all-time favorite wrestler. I have a few other favorites, but no one come close to him. The picture above was actually when he walked by me in the hotel during Wrestlemania 8 weekend. I kind of froze up, but still managed to get a quick picture of him. Hopefully, I will get to meet him for real someday. So, you just witnessed me geek out over wrestling. It won't be the last time...

My efforts to succeed on this weight-loss/being more healthy journey were great today. I stayed under 1000 calories, and avoided foods containing a lot of sugar. I'm feeling much better physically, as foods with a lot of fat, etc. I've found tend to make me feel depressed afterward. Haven't been there in over a month, but as good as Five Guy's Burgers & Fries is, after I finish eating there, I always wonder why I went there in the first place. When you don't eat out as much, you save a ton of money, I must say.

Thank you again for your continued support! Friday (technically today), I'm hoping to go and meet Tobymac who will be signing autographs at Barnes & Noble near hear. If you see a picture later you will know I was successful! Have a great weekend! God bless!

Forever In Christ,
