Day #61 8/8/11: Cult of Personality…

I went to wrestling this day and it was freaking amazing as most of the day I was busy trying to calm my niece down as my brother requested that I take care of her with his brother in law. After I had my time with my niece I picked up my niece and me and brother took the bus to wrestling here in San Jose. I joked with my brother most of the night as I waited for the wrestler of the moment CM Punk to make an appearance and it was quite extraordinary as to how much he has changed the perspective on wrestling and in a way he has made it cool again. I felt the energy of what it was like to be a wrestling fan again and the night ended with me and brother having some mcdonalds. I also couldn’t leave the show without my handy dandy new “Best in the World” T-shirt by the one and only Cult of personality CM Punk.

Day #40 7/18/11: The champ is in a cool spell…

This is a picture I took the day after CM Punk had won the title and yes almost like every wrestling fan out there it feels good to have wrestling be back for at least a little bit. The night before I got home from the gym and looked for it immediately on youtube and there it was and boy was it amazing. It had a hot crowd, psychology, storytelling, suspense, and just anything else you could ask for. I could barely speak before the responses were on the ‘net praising the show known as Money in the bank and I hope to see it down the line as that was only one of the matches. The rest of the day was pretty fun as well as I finally got to talking with my friend from work who, from talking with her has some interesting perspectives on life. She likes to write, read, listens to whatever kind of music she feels like, and here she is taking flack from her bosses just because she missed one day which had me pretty upset as well because I have told her and some other co-workers that “One person makes a difference but you are always replaceable”. We had a pretty amazing chat just about everything and I felt pretty relieved that there was someone like her that has some good views on life. I felt good after talking to her and I didn’t go away thinking “oh man she likes me man” because lets face it girls are much more direct than guys would be so in this case I just leave it as being a big brother- sister relationship where we share anything we may have on our mind whether it be positive or negative.

Day #24 7/2/11: Summer Book(s)…

A friend once told me that if I enjoy what I study then read a book about it or even write about it and I have taken that opportunity here. This is the book I picked up back on Thursday and I’m pretty happy that I did so. The day was pretty basic as my dad and myself went to the bank to deposit money and get cash as well and we got some lunch from Chavez supermarket to get ready for wrestling which was actually better than usual as the wrestling world is a buzzing over CM Punk’s latest promo. Needless to say, the best angles in wrestling are those that mirror real life and this is what kind of draws an audience as I saw this promo as sort of a good thing to bigger and better things. I was surprised that not many angles that WWE does these days pay off anymore but this one can’t miss it because when you have that kind of guy with that sense of urgency then you can build off the themes of appreciation and being able to work hard. The rest of the day was pretty fun as I continued reading this amazing book and I am just about ready to dwell into the personality types portion which should be interesting as I am curious as to what type I am as well as my friends as well. Now, it may not be 100% accurate but I’ll take more as a “the more you get to know a person, the more you’ll see this type come out”. Work sucked but it was also pretty cool to work with a good co-worker of mine as we tried our best to piece everything together. I also said goodbye to a good friend/supervisor of mine who is heading out to greater pastures and his advice to me was to go and finish school so I can get my degree and not work where I work. I was happy when he said “doors will open up for you because you have a good head on your shoulders”. This kept me motivated and I know that I am a very smart guy as all I need is to get some outside sources and I should be all right. Otherwise, a very mellow day despite a few mishaps.
