I Guess This is Growing Up


Recommended Posts

Posted

I first joined this message board eleven years ago. I was fourteen years old creating Shawn Michaels CAWs for SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth. I easily got recognized by some well known members at the time for my work. I took an immediate interest in the future of WWE games and the future of this website.

Several years went by, and I slowly made my way up the ladder so to speak. I was here when the forums were busy, and I was here when they weren't. But I never stopped caring about this place.

I finished school and got a job in the real world. I stopped dedicating 110% of my time here even though I'd still check in quite frequently to see how things were. I still have a couple of close friends here that live thousands of miles away at this website. I had a couple of failed relationships as well in the real world. But time healed all wounds.

Now at age 25, I'm dating a lovely nurse and I just looked at engagement rings. I was a kid when I joined this website. Now I'm a grown man on the verge of asking a woman to spend the rest of her life with me. As weird as this sounds, I consider a lot of my personality came from these very forums. I became quick witted, fluent in sarcasm, and mastered grammar quite well.

The point of this post is absolutely nothing. Maybe a bookmark on my life that I'll revisit several years down the road. I have a woman that actually sits down and watches wrestling with me. Something I've never had before. I attribute that a lot as to why I've been more active in the last year or two. She's also a big Macho Man fan, so she's already looking forward to 2K14.

I hope all of you, wherever you are in your current life, continue to move forward. This website has been a part of my life for eleven years now, and I wouldn't change that for anything. I'm blessed to be a part of this community of wrestling fans and gamers. I'm about to take the next chapter in my life when I buy this ring. I guess this is growing up.

Good for you, HB. I took the complete opposite path. Put on weight, fell in to a deep and disturbingly romantic video game addiction, smoked enough weed to penetrate the o-zone and working for minimum wage from job to job. Yessir, I'm living the dream!

I'm honored by the fact that a decade of my filth has helped shape you into the man you are today.

Many congratulations to you, Sir.

Hello! I hope you've enjoyed your life so far, and continue to.

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding man! I'm really happy for you and I wish you the best of luck in all of this. I have a huge passion for Smacktalks and I love it, hopefully someday I can be like you (Minus the fact that I'm 23 :p)

I appreciate all the kind words, my friends. I was up last night, and my mind wouldn't stop thinking. Writing this post down helped get me to sleep. I never thought it would generate any replies. More of a self therapeutic post. But from the bottom of my heart, thanks for the kind words. From members young and old, it means so much to me.

Oh and dude, she's hot ;)

Lol! That she is. She's an amazing woman. Still amazed to this day that she likes watching wrestling. Haha

Posted

Yea! Damnit, if I ever get married, I'm getting married to a woman that likes wrestling, lol.

Posted

Even though i don't know you, you seem like a genuine down to earth guy, and a soppy old fart lol.... i joke! Good luck sir!

Congratulations man! (But this is not happening to me anytime soon :p)

That's pretty cool, and probably how shizz will be like for me. Well except for I haven't been here that long, I would have been on that other site for nearly that long.

But yeah that's pretty cool, hope all goes well.

A'ight, I'm flying over to the ol' US tomorrow, I'll be crashing at your place 'till the wedding, you need to hook me up with at least 2 "Bridesmaids" (But let's face it, they won't be as innocent as their little 'title' sounds :P2 )

Think about it ;)

DUDE, You should totally give the speech WHILE you're drunk, haha.

Alright, I'll stop acting like I fit in with you ST Originals, it's 4 in the morning and I'm going to sleep.

Bye.
