Obstacles

Obstacles are all over the place in life with people reacting to them as well as dealing with them in different ways

Obstacles will always be around in life it is how they are overcome that can make a difference. Also, it is how one is overcome that is a big step for anyone. Learning from it and helping others is one way that some are able to deal with it. Many do not overcome different situations that results in getting stuck in the past instead of moving on. However, there are just as many that are able to overcome because of seeing that life goes on and they can also. seeing what life can become after the situation has passed is something that many have seen. Getting past the emotion that come from time to time can be hard to deal with but worth it in the end.

Many do not realize that obstacles are put in the way to overcome them with or without help. Life is full of obstacles of different sizes and time frames. Some are slower than others to overcome obstacles because of taking a little more time. Each is different as the next for each person. The same situations may take more time for one person as a friend. Each obstacle is put in the way to see how much can be handled along with how it is handled. Teaching and helping others can affect everyone in a positive way as a result of being able to learn from someone else who went through something similar.

Everyone overcomes obstacles at some point. As with anything else baby steps lead to that. Often times it may not seem like much but it will in time. It takes time to do anything with time comes the proof to show. It shows that anything can and will be done. It also shows that it will benefit others by helping them. The result is that everyone wins by simply helping each other when needed. 

Intolerance

Intolerance is rampant through the United States along with the rest of the world that stems from believing the misconceptions and assumptions made long ago

Recently, a Chief Diversity officer at Gallaudet school in Maryland was suspended for signing a petition that supports Gay Marriage. The unique thing is that she is not only a black woman; but, she is also Deaf. She was doing what she thinks is right when it comes to showing support and diversity for everyone regardless. s of their sexual orientation. Gallaudet is known for being the leading College for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. The result of this has been that Gallaudet has come under fire for doing something that should not have been done.

This story was shown as a clip on a televised Christian show. At first, the man who was talking about it seemed as though he was accepting of the Gay community because of the way he talked about it before the clip was shown. However, after it was shown he degraded the Gay people as if it is a sin for Gay people to want equality in this world. What many do not realize is that God accepts everyone for who they are not their sexuality or skin color. The bible was written by men who could put anything they want in the Bible including homosexuality being a sin. It is not “Godly” at all to judge someone because of being different when God himself created the world to be different. Learning from others instead of discriminating is one thing everyone can learn from

Intolerance is people not accepting others for who they are. Instead, they judge and discriminate for being different. The difference is that many people are set in their ways to where they do not accept others for who they are.  People are brought up to think a certain way and act a certain way. Being different is something nobody can change. People lead different lives with some not caring what others think about them.

Intolerance is one thing that will always be around until the end of time. It is because of people being people and judging others. Accepting others for who they are is better than discriminating against others for being different.

EAP

Edgar Allen Poe was a man that is famous and infamous for many different reasons one being the gruesome details in his poems.

What many people forget about is his gentle side. He cared about the family he had up until and after they died. His wife Virginia died of Tuberculosis in 1847 that left him devastated and unhappy. He wrote gentle poems such as “To Helen” of his love for women in his life. Love had been one of the things that had eluded him his entire life along with it never lasting long for different reasons each time. “To Helen” had originally been published in November of 1848 in the Union Magazine.

His full legacy he left behind after he died as any legacy often does after death which lead to him being  more famous than infamous. Annabel Lee, The Tell Tale Heart, The Raven as well as short stories such as Descent into the Maelstrom and The Pit and the Pendulum are a few of the things that most remember of him. Along with that is the rocky life he had in which his poems reflected. He had been somewhat delusional throughout his life from the recurring death that he encountered in addition to overwhelming sadness from life overall. He was a very talented poet that left behind quite a legacy.

Edgar Allan Poe was a man that paved the way for other poets and writers to write what they feel instead of what others wanted him to write. Learning from that is one thing that any poet can do.

Positive and Negative

Many people give up instead of enduring which leads to more suicides due to have more negative in life than positive

There are many negative things in all corners of the world. There are always going to be negativity in life some more difficult to address than others. Some may not want to address the negativity for different reasons from it being painful to do so or unwanted feelings. Problems hurt when confronted with the ability to learn from it. Doing so can be more beneficial than not learning from it.

A more positive change in outlook on life may seem little at first with the gradual progression as time goes on. The smallest things can make the biggest change even when it does not seem like it. Seeing things differently as well as in a better light on all sides of a situation can benefit everyone. Many wonder how to be more positive without realizing that it is like everything else in life. One step at a time. With that comes people eventually seeing the change made when they did not see it before. It is helping others make the same steps that can make a bigger difference.

Teaching others comes from both positive and negative experiences. How each one can be learned from as well as the bigger picture along with different angles. A different way of looking at the world is not bad just a different way of viewing life. learning from others means learning from what they have done and benefiting from the advice they have given. Seeing from their point of view on something that can be helpful.

With time, people learn from positive and negative experiences. Being able to teach others and show how beneficial positivity can be compared to negativity in life.

Wrestling: The crazy ride

I began this ride on the wrestling train from a young age with seeing things I thought I would never see along with making awesome friends

            The first show I went to was at the young age of 10 years old at the Crystal River Armory in Crystal River, Florida. Most of the people there thought I wasn't that old because of only being about 4'8. As time went on, I came to know the guys, fans as well as the crazy world of wrestling. I met guys like Ron Niemi, Naphtali, Jeff Peterson, Buck Quartermaine, Steve Madison, Antonio Banks (MVP in WWE), Shane Twins (Gymini in WWE) along with many others that became friends. Not only did they see me grow up; but, they saw me go through things that most my age could not comprehend. On top of that, they treated me as if there wasn’t anything wrong.

            In the 12 years since then quite a bit has changed. My younger sister Rachel started going to the shows with my and dad then fell in love much like I had. With that came a family affair of going to different shows together. I have made many more friends as well as lost a few as well. Jeff Peterson, Ryze, 19, Shawn Osbourne,  Larry Sweeney, and a few more died of different causes with different memories being left behind. The memories they left will never be forgotten. They left imprints on people's lives and hearts that will never be changed. Their deaths came as a shock to all leaving different things unsaid as well as different emotions that arose. With that came remembering that anything in life can happen. With this business came my second home.

            Wrestling has become my second home with my second family. Many of the wrestlers and people with different jobs to make the show happen have become part of my life. Some of the friends I made have since left my life whether for good or a little while. They left an impact on my life whether they know it or not. Even if I do not see them much or at all, I still think of the ones that I do not see and remember just how impactful or even influential moments they had in my life. Even so, the injuries as well as the beginning or ending of careers still come to pass.

            I have seen quite a few injuries, careers beginning and ending, marriages, death, tears of joy and pain that come with this business. I still have not seen everything this business has despite the fact that I have seen a wide variety of things happen to different people. Everything in life has a surprise or two including the wrestling business. I know things will happen that will continue to surprise me even in the years to come.

            It’s not the end, it’s not goodbye, it is just another change of scenery that has come to the forefront in this crazy business called wrestling. It is time for me to leave Central Florida and go back home to South Florida for a little while in taking a different path in life.

           

Sacrifice

Sacrifices are made everyday with the men and women who serve our country making the greatest sacrifice of all. Quite a few of them have paid with their lives.
Many men and women have made great sacrifices to ensure that the united states of America is protected and free. Many have died surviving their country while others have been wounded whether minor or major.

Having family members in the military is not easy. Not knowing if there is going to be that call saying that loved one was killed while serving their country.  Nobody wants to have a family member coming home from overseas in a flag draped coffin.

I have family and friends are currently in or had been in military. It was and still is never easy seeing how changed they were before they left compared to when they came home. Life is very different  after coming home. The change may not be seen right away but with time it is seen.

There are countless ways to thank them and helping one of many. Something as simple as making dinner or taking their kids to school makes a big difference whether it is realized or not. It is the little things that matter and count the most.
