Being a writer, my mind is always on the move. Always thinking of something new. In comparison, being a wrestling fan often works to my advantage. I go to a lot of wrestling and I have seen quite a few things happen. Things such as injuries (minor to severe) as well as getting to know quite a few people. There are several current and past WWE employees that I know. I have met legends such as Larry Zybysko, Steve Keirn, Ron Bass, Jake Roberts, Dusty Rhodes and more. Not only have I gotten to know the business; but, I have come to know guys as people nothing more. They are like everyone else with them being wrestlers as one of the few differences. In recent years, we have lost a few guys to various things. Just this year we have lost "Sweet and Sour" Larry Sweeney, "Bad Seed" Shawn Osborne, Mr. Wrestling 19 and Ryze. All four men were tremendous in their own right and left far too soon. Life happens and takes the good ones.
Being a writer also means writing about things you love. Wrestling is one of them. Another one is advocacy. I am an advocate for many things. Autism, Cancer, Epilepsy, Diabetes, Deafness as well as preventing an epidemic of STDs I know people who have Autism, who have had cancer, are Deaf and have Diabetes. As for me, I have Childhood Epilepsy. It is not easy with any of these. All have struggles in their own way on a daily basis. It is other people that do not understand. It is due to the lack of understanding from the misconceptions. When people see that the misconceptions are false they will see that there is more to it than what they though. In turn, people will ask more questions and be more open minded. However, until that point in time many people will be close minded and stupidly ignorant.
Writing poems and short stories is something I have done for years. I have written hundreds of poems as well as several dozen short stories. I am currently working on a few poems and short stories and plan on publishing them when I am done. However in the meantime, I am a college student. I have been working hard to get my degree and almost there. My love for ASL (American Sign Language) and other languages is still very vibrant. Being an ASL Interpreter has been put on hold for several reasons but will return later on. Until then, being a writer and advocate is something that will be an advantage. I know I will become a writer and ASL Interpreter at some point in my life and eventually travel the world learning other Sign Languages in addition to writing about my travels. All of my passions can be mixed to give the world a better understanding of different people with a different culture. To further add, writing about things that I love and have a lot of knowledge of will be sent out, read and change the world bit by bit. It is something that can be done simply by reading and passing it on to others.
