Rough-and-Tumble!

Hello my dear readers! It's been a little while since my last post. I've had a little busy period over the past few weeks that has caused me to neglect my blog. I normally would have posted earlier this month, but have had a few things standing in my way!

The biggest thing that caused me the most trouble recently has been an unfortunate little spill I took while at a friend's place. He has a condo with an amazing rooftop terrace and two floors linked by the steepest staircase in the world. Clumsy me, I missed the second step on my way down and now am the proud owner of two little scars, one on my chin and one on the top of my head. Oddly enough, as the doctors put it when they stitched me up, I was quite lucky in how I fell. I could have broken some bones or, even worse, ended up with a big disfiguring scar on my face. But alas, my scars are extremely well placed so my money-maker isn't damaged. As one doc said "You can go back to modelling, no problem"

The good news is that you won't really even notice that I have these scars in any more matches I film at BG East, unless the camera zooms in for an extreme close-up of my hair-line to see the little scar that protrudes. And really, in the end, even if you do, the one on my head actually makes me look a little more bad-ass than usual! Who knows, perhaps the scar will be my opening to being more of a heel :P

Other than the little tumble down the stairs, I've been busy with a contract job that just finished and with registering for university courses for the fall. Yes, you read correctly, I'm heading back to school this fall! It'll be my second Bachelor's degree and I'm looking forward to getting started on it! Lucky me that I live in a place where education is still relatively cheap and a second degree won't put me in the poor house.

On another note, if you read my last post, you saw that I had posted a poll on my Goggle+ account about possibly having a match with Darius at BG East (hopefully some day soon) and was asking what you the readers would like to see as an outcome for the match. Despite having whooped him in early voting, he made a comeback and creamed me with roughly 65-67% of the vote going in his favor for the win. Yet something strange has happened...almost as soon as he took the lead, his profiles on Google+, globalfight, meetfighters, etc. have ALL disappeared! Does anyone know what happened? I've asked around and most people are as confused as I am...hopefully he's alright and hasn't had any spills down flights of stairs like I have!

On that note dear readers, I wish you all a great start to your summers and I'll keep you posted on some upcoming travels I have ;)

New Poll!

Hello again my dear readers! So given the overwhelming victory of Darius in my poll on Google+ about who my next opponent should be, I've decided to ask a new question on there! If I were to take him on at BG East, what should the outcome be? I win? He wins? Should it be an even match? A squash? Any moves you'd like to see us perform? Go vote on the poll and if you want to share your specifics, feel free to leave a comment there or on this post ;) And if you're really, really shy, just drop me an e-mail! 

Poll is here my dear readers!

Birthday Bash!




Hello again my dear readers! Did you miss me? I missed you! I had a pretty busy month of April as I suddenly found myself inundated with job interviews after a very dry start to my employment year. Good news, I'm employed again! Yay! Bad news, they're temp jobs! Oh well, some work is better than none! Every dollar counts and that's what matters ;) And from the look of things, a more permanent job may be on the way in the coming weeks as some new friends are pushing me towards some opportunities they have!

As some of you know, yesterday was not only Mother's Day but my very own birthday! It was a big one...one of those where 2 digits change instead of just one! I'll leave you all to guess what digits I changed to but most of you who knew about my birthday are already fully aware of how old I now am...

You may have read in my last post, I had created a little wishlist on Amazon for some wrestling-related items and other little fashionable things. As luck would have it, I had a very generous benefactor from the UK (you know who you are) who is a loyal reader of my blog and my most loyal of fans. He was kind enough to send me the two speedos you see in this post as well as the sexy t-shirt that I've got on while I'm typing this post! Needless to say, I'm more than thankful for his generosity! I've decided to keep the list active indefinitely for any of you who feel you want to send anything my way in the future. There's actually a good deal of wrestling apparel on Amazon and some really nice speedos for those of you who wrestle. Check them out, seriously!

On that note, enjoy the start of the summer season and go outside and play with hot guys! Who knows, they might just be wrestlers in disguise...
