Hello everyone,

I just got back from the gym. Yesterday I went 40 minutes on the glider gimmick and today I went 45. I wanted to quit today after 5 minutes because my knee was hurting but I kept saying “five more minutes and then I’ll quit” until I made it through the 45. I haven’t checked my weight though to see if I got myself back into the 235 range or not. I’m beginning to think that I should have only taken a week off instead of three. It set me back too far.

Wednesday and Thursday has been cancelled due to Ian being in the hospital. IWA’s good friend CZWfan is back to his usual bullshit on the Chicago Wrestling board. I swear that I would choke that fcker to death if I knew who he was and saw him at a show. Hell anyone that thinks CZW is great wrestling should meet that fate before they can reproduce and lead to the destruction of the earth. It sucks that now I doubt Mark will be coming up this week since it is only one show now. I was looking forward to seeing him again. As a matter of fact, it was one of the things I was going to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

I got an email from a cousin of mine last night to tell me how ashamed she was of me for speaking out against my cousin that is the superintendent at the school. I sent her a reply saying that I hope she is only ashamed because I was mean in the words I chose and not because I didn’t side with my cousin simply because we share the same last name. She tried to tell me how everyone whose interest is the school and not the football team thinks he is a great superintendent. I told her that my little cousins that go to school there and don’t care about the football team think that he is an arrogant prick and that they and their friends don’t like him at all. Different strokes for different folks.

I’m going to finish this update by asking everyone to post what they are going to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

I already mentioned that one of my thankfuls probably won’t come to pass since I doubt Mark is going to be coming.

Therefore, I am thankful that my Morris Redskins are in the state championship game and hopefully I’ll be thankful that they destroy Joliet Catholic in the last game between the two schools since they won’t be playing again once the new rules go into effect moving up the Catholic schools in class.

I am thankful that it appears I’ll be going to the game with a car load of friends and having a good time win or lose.

I am thankful that I’ll get to see both of my families this week now (wrestling and blood).

Hopefully I will be able to be thankful for good health for my family and friends.

Good Day.
