As someone that didn't want kids, being told I was going to be a dad was a major life changer. When I did find out, my whole 'no kids' mindset instantly disappeared. Nearly four years later and I'm still loving it.
I also had no plans to get married. I felt that an expensive ring and wedding wasn't needed to show my love for my then girlfriend. She sort of felt the same way too because she thought being called 'wife' made her sound old and withered. In 2010 I got sent to hospital and that made me realise that life was too short not to put a ring on her finger. Sure enough I did and the big day is in November this year.

Here are two more moments in my life that changed my life. October 1st, 2005: I decided to go to Lower Manhattan to see how much has changed since the destruction of the World Trade Center. Mind you, the last time I was down at the Trade Center was in July of 2001. On this particular day, I decided to go down there to see what had changed. When I saw a big, open pit, it really dawned to me the events that transpired there in 2001. The only bit of construction that was going on was the new Seven World Trade Center. I did notice the rebuild PATH station. So yeah, seeing the air being sucked out of Lower Manhattan is something that had to be felt. Glad to see most of the street's reopening and witnessing the rebirth of Lower Manhattan one day at a time. September 18th, 2011: The first day the 9/11 Memorial was open to the public (by reservation). When I was able to see how large the memorial pools are up close, I really had to take it in. Soon after, I saw all of the names on both pools (including the six who died on February 26th, 1993) and it got me really emotional. I found it hard to believe two-110 story buildings once dominated the skyline right there. I walked around, took several photos, and seeing the rebirth come alive a day at a time. It was a shock coming from somebody who remembers September 11th, 2001 like it happened yesterday. After I left, I ended up eating at Exxes World Cafe on Liberty Street. This cafe was where many office workers in the towers would buy lunch at. ¡Twist Of Lime Green Jello!, I wish you well in your marriage. Wish I was in a similar position but it is what it is.

Failing at suicide last July. Sometimes failure is success. Digging yourself out of your own grave is an amazing journey. I'm awesome now.

Big bushy beard while delivering in the heat is no fun.

Graduating high school in the top 10% of my class.
My parents telling me that they're proud of me, no matter what I choose to do.
Graduating from Wrestling School.
Seeing my grandmother for the very last time, both of us knowing it would be the last time that we ever saw each other on this earth and her telling me that she was so damn proud of me and that she loved watching me grow up... she passed away about 45 minutes later.
Knowing what its like to truly care about someone, only for them to cheat on you after you've already planned a wedding proposal ... learned to watch whom I trust and date.
Wrestling against Bullet Bob Armstrong and Road Dogg was amazing and I had to keep from smiling the entire time ! I also got to talk with Lex Luger, for like 20 minutes, in Gorilla at one show. I just got to sit there and watch my friends match, while picking his brain about the business.
Meeting The Undertaker in 2002
Finally getting a good job, that even I never thought would get, only to get a better job a year later. I did all of this AND met my current girlfriend at the same time. We just now moved into our new place !

I have had quite a few Defining Moments in my short 26 years. - Seeing Hulk Hogan on tv. I suddenly became enriched in wrestling. - Seeing Goldberg in person in 1998 -Watching ECW on TNN and Sunshine Network. This becoming my favorite wrestling company of all time. - Meeting Kurt Angle in 2000 - 9/11. This had me tuned in on world and local events. - High School. What a blast, - My first girlfriend breaking my heart after a Smackdown taping. We were together for 2 years. - Saving 2 girls from a possible rape at a friends party, that ended in 9 stitches on my head from a mag light. 1 inch away from my temple. I almost died protecting! ing metal! - Watching my daughters birth. Life changing! - Watching my sons birth. Not easier the second time. I cried like a baby. - Working in the oil feilds in North Dakota amd Texas. I haven't complained about the difficulty of a job since leaving in 2014. - Being away from my family for months at a time. This made me truely realize what I had. Being a father and seeing my kids everyday was more important than the money from the oil feilds. - Meeting Hulk Hogan, Raven, and Goldberg this year. My 3 personal icons of the buisness. This was more of a spiritual journey. The power from these encounters ment the world to me, and being able to tell all 3 what they ment to me growing up may have been something they hear all the time, but for me to tell them in person, made being a fan feel special. More so than watching at home. I was finally able to say " Thank You".

I think I have way too many for my short seventeen years on this earth. 9/11. I was 3(one month from turning 4) attending pre school in lower Manhattan at St. James. Blocks from the WTC. I'll never forgive the world for my first memories of anything being that horrible day.
Wrestling. I've literally been watching since the day I was born(my mom, brother and the nurses at the hospital were apparently huge wrestling fans and ordered Hallowen Havoc 1997 at the hospital) The Hardys will always be my favorite my first wrestling memory is the spear from edge to Jeff off the ladder at mania 17, my next is Rock vs Hogan from mania 18, even at that young age, I got how big of a deal that match was. I don't know what type of person I would be without wrestling.
My current girlfriend for renewing my faith in females l. I couldn't ask for a better person to spend my life with right now.
My father for showing me, that a person could love you, and not be worth your time. I've had so many unspeakable dust ups with a man that claims to have my best intentions at heart.
Wrestling again for showing me that the heel, no matter how long his run on top, always gets his just desserts. My father will get his.

I'll add:
First listening to Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling in the summer of 2011. First podcast I ever listened to and it changed my life. Which is why when people bash Colt I get defensive.
First listening to a Kevin Smith podcast and getting into most of his different shows on the Smodcast Network last summer. I've learn so much from these.
Starting my own podcast at the beginning of the year. It's become my therapy. Keeps me off the edge. Another reason I owe Smith and Cabana my life.
Meeting Hulk Hogan in March. My "God" since I was a young child. I don't care what he did behind the scenes. I don't care who his is in his personal life. What that man did in wrestling is the biggest reason I've been a fan most my life. And wrestling has saved my life too.

Every single one of my relationships that I've had, girls can be mean. I know how you feel here. I can explain my viewpoints but I haven't met many people who understands 100%. Long story short, meeting a woman who I first had chemistry with ended up rejecting me. I haven't seen and spoken to her since 2012. This event played a part why I'd rather be single. I lost a lot of trust in women as a result. Totally understand where you're coming from man. I had a thing with this very sweet girl last summer only thing is she wasn't too sure on her feelings. She liked me and this other guy (who she met online and never met) of course going on 2 dates with her I was upset that she wouldn't make it official with me, so things didn't work out. I realize now it wouldn't have worked out between us anyways since she's going to the army and I'm training to be a pro wrestler. I still check up on her once in a while, but haven't spoken to her since, since she doesn't want talk to me again. I had a few relationships with girls that also made lose a lot of trust for them.
