WEEKLY EMAIL BLAST #121

You’ve got mail !       

A lovely movie that also works as an email greeting. God bless Nora Ephron. She made rom-coms but they were good rom-coms. A director so good, she has a prize named after her; The Nora Ephron prize for outstanding female filmmakers.        

I’m gonna need useless facts like these, I start college on Monday. There will be new classmates, which means there will be socializing. I don’t get along with people right off the bat, I usually don’t make an effort to. But I am better at dealing with people than I was 2 years ago. I was indifferent to people in 11th grade. I got better in 12th grade, made friends (a certain sitcom has ruined that term for me) and it was nice.        

Now I have to do it all over again. My 3 month vacation purgatory is over.       

I didn’t really do a lot of productive things this summer. It was mostly monotonous. I changed that last week. I joined wrestling school! Professional wrestling. Well I’ve been there twice. It was amazing and also brutal.       

I love pro wrestling and the WWE. I had a good run at the gym in June, my entire life has been kayfabe, so I thought I’d learn the ropes. I got my dad on board and joined a training centre. The first day was mostly cardio and endurance training, which was hell and they didn’t let me anywhere near the ring. The next time I went, I ran the ropes and it was brutal. Ring ropes are super hard, I got bruises. Did flat back bumps (falling behind without breaking your fall) which hurt like hell. Just brutal.       

It’s been a week and I still have a bad neck and back. I haven’t been to the gym or the training centre. I won’t have too much time for this once college starts, my parents have been saying I should stop. But I’m not giving up on this without giving it a proper shot. 

Cheerio!         

‘Tis, mate was the Weekly Email Blast, email 121. Happy weekend !!!
