When Life Is Fun Again

It has come to my attention recently that done right, life can be a lot of fun.  I'm certain it beats all alternatives, to say the least.  I'm trying to enjoy the little things again, a lost art in 2018, and I'm trying to keep a positive view going without wearing the dreaded rose-colored glasses.  I'm relatively healthy, don't really look my age (NEVER acted it either!) and I have three beautiful grandchildren.  I still get around, I'm still enjoying wrestling and I'm feeling pretty good these days.  I'm still writing, still singing and still covering Beatles tunes and having fun doing it.  

On the RoxX front, we have recorded everything planned, original Earthbound kicks out the jams and the first mix of the Beatles' Help blows my mind.  Can't wait to hear later mixes of both.  I have two songs now to write lyrics for and haven't penned a single word on either at this point.  Guess what I'll be doing the rest of this week?  Tommy's back to work this week, so I don't know when the next time we'll record, but I'll update when it happens.

On the rasslin' front, CWF Mid-Atlantic has finally moved it's produced events to a pay channel, the HighSpots Wrestling Network!  Subscribe to the network for $9.99 a month or rent single events on demand!  We are currently still airing our live events on Twitch for folks that can't join us at the Sportatorium!  Tickets to CWF Mid-Atlantic events at cwftickets.com!

And yes, wrestling has become fun once again.  I've wavered between continuing and retirement for a couple of years before deciding to stick with it, if only to irritate the ones who would rather I quit.  I'm digging seeing guys I've watched unloading and setting up the ring finally step through the ropes and show the world what they've learned at the CWF Dojo.  That whole Circle of Life in real time.  It's what we do.  And you thought it was just rasslin'.

Wide open on the pro wrestling schedule again, if you can count four events in 3 weeks "wide open".  Heh.  I seriously remember doing 3 events in 2 days without batting an eye.  What can I say?  I'm particular about what I do these days maybe?  Picking my spots perhaps.

We'll be doing a free live event Wed. August 15th on Twitch kicking off at 2pm!  It's our end of the summer annual bash for the Alamance County Boys And Girls Club from the Mid-Atlantic Sportatorium!  Nothing like a little free weekday wrestling before school starts back up, right?

Pip has became an even larger part of our family in recent weeks, demanding attention between 2-4 am daily.  Some mornings I can pat the bed and he'll lay down and go to sleep.  Then there's most mornings.  When I hear Karen screaming at him I know he's on her dresser swatting her jewelry around.  He's smart enough to know that both of us will react to him doing that.  Smart darn cat.  The only mornings I know I can sleep in are the ones after a late night (wrestling) or after being up with acid reflux and spending quality time with the cat on the couch for an hour or longer.

We're still kicking out new music, both originals and covers and will be heading toward the studio in the coming weeks to attempt our cover of the Beatles classic "Help!".  New original "Earthbound" lyrics (original referred to as the "Foo Fighters inspired song") are finished and it's on the list to record as well.

Shocked at the positive reactions to our cover of Judas Priest's Hellion/Electric Eye, it's going through the roof!  Thanks ya'll!
