A Connection

Hello guys, this is more of of a more serious post or blog, but in the book "Yes: My Improbable Journey to the Main Event of Wrestlemania" by Daniel Bryan, he talks about in the epilogue of his father and how after he was married, his father passed away. Not too long after I read that a lady from my church named Hermana Dominga had passed. I never really got to do all the things I wanted to do with her just like Bryan. Bryan's dad didn't get to see the wedding because of his dad's wife had pneumonia which oddly was the same symptom Dominga had. But Bryan had found about it by, "Bri and I were leisurely preparing to go to Raw, when I got a phone call. My dad had died, completely unexpected, at the age of fifty-seven. I went from an unequivocal high to an unequivocal low." And I had felt so lowered down like a chunk of my heart was taken away, I never really go to talk to her because she spoke Spanish and I didn't know any, but I always thought that I would one day have a conversation with her and that I had all the time in world. I didn't. And I won't. "I hugged him, trying to say good-bye, but nothing felt good enough." I never really got to say anything to Dominga in her casket because I just felt ashamed, I felt ashamed because I didn't do want I wanted to do, she was like a third grandma or a first because I never known my grandmas. I feel I can connect to what Bryan was feeling because of his death and sadly both of us won't see them ever again.

Thank you for everything, Hermana Dominga

Musical Mayhem

What I am looking forward to this spring is the musical because the experience is so fun for the musical. I remember last year they had asked me to be a bunny which caught me off guard, but then in the end, I ended up being the show stealer getting the most cheers. Sadly people remember me as the  "Bunny Boy"  which isn't so great at times.

BLOGGING: My Improbable Journey to Writing a Blog

Hello guys, Whole Blogging Show here and I want to talk about a memory moment in the book, YES: My Improbable Journey to the Main Event of Wrestlemania by Daniel Bryan or Bryan Danielson, which is a froot auto-biography (I really like auto-biographies if you didn't notice) about Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) talks about his Journey to the WWE and journey to the Main Event of Wrestlemania. Though this is a kind of minor memory moment I kind of find it interesting. So what had happened is that Byran was finally signed to the WWE and was on their show NXT which was prepping them up for the main roster. Bryan though felt stagnant having no direction in being there having a 0-10 losing streak. When he was eliminated from the show, they had taken him backstage for an interview, they asked him what it felt like leaving the Independent Circuit of wrestling to go to the WWE and to be losing like that. Obviously wrestling isn't real, but rather scripted, it ticked him off that they would ask something like that and he replied, "'Well, that's funny because 'Daniel Bryan' never wrestled on the independent scene,' I said. If you go on and YouTube 'Daniel Bryan,' all you ever see is WWE. But there was this guy, man, he was out there, he was kicking people's heads in: people called him the best wrestler in the world. He was champion in Japan, Mexico, and Europe. And do you know what his name was?'" This was significant because of how Bryan, who now was furious, reflected on how in other companies, he was made champion in the other companies, but now in the WWE, they wouldn't book him to win a single match. 

The interviewer tries to cover up what he says by asking what is next for Daniel Bryan, Bryan said this, "'Daniel Bryan' might be done, but Bryan Danielson-God knows what's going to happen to him." They had to make him redo the interview, but I think he had a memory moment in all of this about his old status with wrestling. Bryan Danielson wrestled all over the world and he remembers that, soon saying "God knows what's going to happen to him." I think he is trying to say that Bryan Danielson will be given better treatment as a wrestler than Daniel Bryan will be treated as a Wrestler, since on his quote, he compares the two wrestling backgrounds. One having a losing streak which in some cases signifies that you're jobber (someone who persistently loses) and the other being a long reigning champion in Europe and America, and championship reigns in Japan. That is why I think this is a memory moment, it is a memory moment because he reflects on his career and the new character of him, Daniel Bryan.

Anne Frank Adversity

Anne Frank has had so much things that she struggled with in hiding. She couldn't live like an average thirteen year old, having to sit around in her house for hours. And yet she still had the mind set like one, she couldn't go with her friends, she couldn't see her favorite bands anymore, she couldn't even talk about things with her family throughout the day. And yet I haven't gone through this the same exact way, I am empathetic towards her. My mom doesn't often let me go to a friend's house, and even though it is not much, I feel ten times worst knowing that Anne couldn't do even half of what I am able to do, she has gone through so much adversity and a lot of people don't realize how much she had gone through and still try to live her life like a teenager.

Holocaust Review for the Upstanders

People were afraid to stand up, even though most fates were concealed. They didn't want to go through dying and were scared to stand up for everyone. Those who stood up realized that it was over and might as well take a chance, they knew that they were destined to die so they might have well just stood up for everyone else to live a little longer. I don't think I would have made impact even if I tried, with all the torture and strict punishments, I would have not survived to see my myself standing up for hundreds. So I think even if I tried, I would need a strong force like an army to charge through Nazi's in order to be an upstander who succeeded.

A Humbled Man.

Now for this chapter of Best in the World at What I Have No Idea by Chris Jericho (which is a froot book you can buy at a bookstore near you) I want told talk about the chapter "Humbled", it is about Chirs Jericho who had gotten drunk from drinking to much and was calling off everybody. Shawn Michaels (a veteran wrestler) was eating with his family and it was pretty late. Drunkicho (as said by himself) was swearing very loudly and was told be Hurricane Helms (that's like the third wrestler this blog) told him about his swearing, it says "'I'm not swearing that much! Besides, he shouldn't have his kids out this late anyway,' I bleated belligerently. Hurricane told me to keep my voice down and I said defensivly, 'I wasn't talking loudly.' But I was wrong, for Shawn and his family got up and left their table. I hoped I hadn't insulted them and yelled out, 'See you ou tomorrow, man!' He walked out the door without saying anything, but ten seconds later, he stormed back into the room, his eyes ablaze. 'You shut your damn mouth,' he warned me. 'Yeah, my family is up late and if you've got a problem with that, go to hell!'" He left as he glared at me and left the room." Now this quote had sent Jericho to a whole different level, he felt guilty for all he and kind of set him straight. He needed to apologize and fix his problems with Shawn Michaels. But when he was talking with Shawn, Shawn told him this, "'You need to start acting like a top guy if your ever going to be one. Staying up all night drinking and being an a**hole ... you're losing everyone's respect.' I expected him to tell me next that fat, drunk, and stupid was no way to go through life, and I was humbled because I knew he was right. There's a certain level of responsibility in being a top-level performer and certain line you can't cross if you want to be taken seriously as a locker room leader." I think it shows a lot of Jericho's humbleness (well now he was humbled). He wasn't acting like a locker room leader and was calling off guys and being disrespectful. And after chatting with Shawn Michaels, he realized it. He wasn't acting like a leader like he shoud have acting was acting like an a** in his Drunkicho stage. But Shawn showed him he was humbled from acting that way and that is why I like this chapter.

The Best Blogger in the World at What, Blogging of Course!

I have recently started reading the book The Best In The World At What I Have No Idea by Chris Jericho and I love it so much that I am almost done with it, I bought on the book on Friday (1/22)and started to read it, I checked the amount of pages there was and my eyes blew eye of my sockets and yanked back in. It was 400 pages! Now I am typically and slow reader, or so I though, as of today I am on page 335 which is a breakout for me, I guess I am really enjoying the book. Now I found it kind of hard to blog about it because it is Non-fiction and you are kind of limited to what you could write on it. I was thinking of talking about words of the wiser from a chapter, but I actually want to share my favorite chapter and what it means. My favorite chapter had to be "Santino Gump" this chapter had to be the top 5 funniest chapters of this book, in summary it is about a new wrestler who had joined the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) he had gotten a lot of heat (which isn't froot) and was kind of put down by the veterans of the company. I think the biggest part of the chapter is when he had a shoot with a fellow wrestler Bob Holly. What had happened is that Santino botched (messed up) one of the moves in his match. He had said he was the wrestler he ever faced which hurt Santino a lot. Santino had replied back to him, "Come on. Really? The worst? Are you sure? You must've worked with someone worse than me." It amused me that he wasn't trying to be rude and actually thought that he wasn't the worst possible opponent. He was confident enough to say he wasn't the worst It amused me ever more that Holly replied back, "'OK, you're not the worst ... but you are one of the worst!' Santino nodded his head, satisfied with the upgrade." Now even though this really amused me it shows that Santino was a very fortunate guy and sometimes wouldn't take no as a complete answer, but rather have it as a maybe. Jericho is able to describe how Santino acts and how he responds towards conflict which I like a lot.
