Rage Against The Machine
I know many people have been concerned with my emotional state the last few weeks as expressed through my last three posts. Worry not for I am not turning emo, if anything I'd go on a shooting spree not cut myself and listen to crappy music. Luckily for everyone I'm no where near that homicidal. Though nothing can pick your spirits up more then taking part in something that just may be your biggest passion.
This weekend, at the EWA show in Essex, Maryland I took part of something that is a great passion. I was the EWA Ring Announcer for the evening and had a WONDERFUL time. Everyone was willing to help me out, give me pointers, and hold my hand in my first full blown Ring Announcing experience. A big thanks to Marcus Dowling who was amazing to work with and gave me flying colors.
The fans by the end of the night were even heckling me which means I must have been doing something right. A few even stopped me as I left the arena to tell me that I did a great job, though I never imagined that I would be told that my voice travels really well. I don't know if this will be a constant thing or a one timer, but we all know what I hope for. With work and finances preventing me from training to actually wrestle, this is the next best thing one could hope for. Who knows, maybe this will lead to me actually going the other route and train to be a manager.
The show itself was a great show and it was awesome seeing it that close. The DVD will be amazing I'm sure, and I'm curious to hear and see myself on the DVD.
Sunday we woke up early and went to the Nats/O's game with the HOES and had an absolute blast. We grilled, we drank, we made fun of people's signifigant others, all and all, a wonderful time was had. Some of us got toasty, others were smart and put on sunblock, but we all got ferschnikened. The Nats won the game 3-1 and won the first ever Battle of the Beltway, so up yours B-More...who is your daddy and what does he do?
As for my current emotional state, no worries. The crying is over and I feel better. I have come to grips with everything and will move along loving life as I should. As a matter of fact the final nail in that coffin comes today at kickball when everyone will be welcomed into Raven's Clockwork Orange House of Fun. I have come to terms with everything that was beating at me, keeping me down.
Though I would like to announce the creation of a new support group, Handsome Men Who Can't Get Dates or the HMWCGD. We opened with two members (Hahn and myself), declared one person inelligble for life (Matt White), and are considering the nomination of Kenny for the group. Though Hahn might be leaving the group already, he will remain here in spirit and hopefully never returns once he leaves the group. Hell, that is almost our creed, once you leave you better stay gone.
