Another day with Dv8...
Ok, so I know it's been a while since I blogged..I mean truly actually had a topic- wrote down what I felt - BLOG. So I guess, here in a sense I'm going to "bleed" some thoughts and such and just get a few things off my chest. Now, naturally..I say what I feel when it comes to my head..but here lately it's been alot of biting my tongue and standing back to assess the situation. Sometimes, you just have to know when to speak your mind - and when to shut the fuck up. So, here goes..
So today, so far, my morning is going pretty well, but I can't seem to find something to do. So all morning I've been bored out of my mind. So I get on Myspace (of course) and check my email to find out that "Golden Boy" Arnold Skaaland has passed. My friend Robert says, "It seems that alot of the old school and 80's wrestlers are starting to fade away, and that soon enough, there won't be another wrestler like that alive to tell the tales of wrestling back when it was wrestling, when you wore straight black boots and regular trunks, when you had to drive long and hard to a show that had low billing an little pay - the good ol' days of the territories and paying your dues the right way." Well, Robert. I agree with what you're saying, but the stories of paying your dues and having to travel for low pay was just beginning with those men. They started the stories of hardships and paved the road for us, on another note..people have to sit back and acknowledge that it was extremely hard for people then, than what it is now. I'm pretty sure there weren't dozens of schools to choose from to get into the business/sport, as there is now. So some might say that our stories of hardships wouldn't matter as much...but I'll tell it like this. It does matter. It matters to countless fans that read of our hardships, and our stories make them want to do what we do. They recognize what we go through, and maybe they want to prove to themselves that they can do it as well. Granted, this business/sport isn't cut out for everyone, but it doesn't stop people from trying. When I was in my early teens, I read about the wrestlers that would drive all over the east coast, and make little or no pay at all. I've read about wrestlers who had to sleep in their car, or even in the ring they trained in, because they had no money to get a hotel and had no place to stay. Some roads are paved smoother than others. It just depends on how bad you want it. Speaking of wrestling, there is another concern that has crossed my mind here recently. I can't stress enough that taking care of your body, and knowing the signs when something is wrong, is extremely important! There are so many young wrestlers that have been dropping like flies..and it's not only wrestlers..it's a bunch of people in different sports. Get those routine physicals..don't be ashamed to go into the Dr. every month and get checked out. Times are different now..and things do change. What's to say that now you could be healthy as a horse, but in a month..you develope a heart problem or God-forbid some other type of problem due to the sport you play. This is a message to everyone who plays any type of sport! Take care of your body..it's the greatest instrument you'll ever use..take care of yourselves!
Speaking of taking care of yourselves, I wanted and had to put this little inspirational message up here for all my fellow ladies out there. I can't stress enough the problems that girls go through over guys..and I'm gonna tell you girls..quit waiting on men to tell you you're beautiful. Baby, if you know you look good..then don't be ashamed to work that shit. Do the damn thing because I'm gonna throw this down there on the table, I eat pizza, cake, icecream, donuts, every thing junk-food that you can imagine..but I also eat healthy. I eat what I want..and I'm not worried about "Oh I need to think about my calories!" Nuh uh..everyone was meant to be different..and why you girls out there want to look like these supermodels that are so skinny they look like skeletons..I will never know that answer. But I'll tell you the truth, there is not one man that I have met that truly thinks that is sexy. Curves, girls, curves is where it's at! Men like something they can hold onto! Eat, drink, be merry, but take pride in what you're body can look like and work it at the gym a little. Don't be afraid to go to the gym because "People are gonna laugh at me because I look dumb" No. Those people are there for the exact thing you're there for. To get their bodies looking right. If they're concentrating on themselves..why in the hell are they gonna bother you? One last thing, and I'll be done with this rant..but if this is what you wanna look like....Oh I don't know..that skinny ass Paris Hilton..anorexic models that look LITERALLY like twigs...then keep on the track you're on. There is nothing sexy about this! (These images were not doctored. Actual images) But here's another thing that disgusts me about this..these supermodels that have this problem..the businesses don't take care of their models. If they did..they wouldn't be telling these beautiful girls to lose weight because they're fat. They would not let these models walk down their runway looking like death warmed over. It's all for the sake of money. They're saying, "Well, we'll just make this tiny dress and if the model doesn't lose the weight then we'll find someone who can fit it..just as long as we're making our quick dollar." That is so so wrong, but it's reality. It's all for the greed and love of money. Think about that. Ok, this rant is done..moving right along.
So, as far as my situation presently..I still haven't gotten a car..and since I quit my job at The Pet Company..I'm still waiting to hear from Office Depot. After 3 interviews, and a drug test..you'd figure I'd have the job..but the chick was just like "We'll call you" That's basically a "Fuck off" So I'll wait for them to call me...sure...but my brother is getting me an application to work stocking things at his work. O' Reilly's or something like that. Everyone there starts out making $9.50 an hour. Not bad if you ask me. I've still been going to wrestling practice here and there, but haven't really had the funds to make it to a few shows. A couple of friends of mine have been really awesome about giving me lifts to rides and stuff..and that way they get to see a free show by getting in with me. Not a bad deal if you ask me. Unfortunately, I won't have new videos of shows until after I get things straight..so hang in there. I've gotten quite a bit of fanart and I appreciate the pictures that I've received. THANK YOU!
Well, I guess that's all for this blog. Until next time keep your head on straight and think things through.
XOXO,
Dv8
