I am on the No Way Out PPV and responses...

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is feeling, looking, and smelling like a million bucks! To begin with--it's official--I'll be wrestling on the No Way Out pay-per-view tonight. Myself and Jeff will team up with Chris Benoit against MNM and MVP. I'm excited, I love wrestling in L.A.'s Staples Center. I don't think we could have a better partner than "The Rabid Wolverine" Chris Benoit--I think the three of us will be stealing the show tonight.

I thought I would try something a little different today. I'm actually gonna pull out some responses from some of my previous postings and then comment on them and give my take on their take. What ya think? Sound interesting?

"Love is a complete and total lie, Matty. Haven't you learned that yet? No one on God's green earth can ever be trusted with the heart of another person. They'll take it and use it till they're bored, then they'll crush it for the sheer fun of it. I would think after what you went through that you'd see that for yourself. I learned that the hard way yesterday. I officially have zero friends now. The one that hadn't screwed me over, that I trusted with everything inside of me, screwed me. Screwed me hard. And not in the good kinda screwing sense. And no, I'm not just bitter... Okay well, yes, at the moment I am because I just wrote a goodbye letter to this person who didn't even have the courtesy to say goodbye to my face. But honestly... watch the news. Husbands killing wives, wives killing husbands, boyfriends killing girlfriends, mothers killing babies, and everything else imaginable. Divorce rate is highest it's ever been. Love? No. It doesn't exist. The only person trustworthy enough to give your heart to is your own self. I hope that you enjoy your Valentine's Day. I'm going to be spending mine alone."

Dear Rated X Superbitch,

I'm so sorry to hear that you've had to go through such a turbulent time in your life. Hopefully things will get better and improve sooner than later. I hope you were able to somewhat enjoy your Valentine's Day, even though I'm sure you weathered the day in a bad state of mind and heart. I know you said towards me, "I would think after what you went through that you'd see that for yourself. Love? No. It doesn't exist", referring to my "situation" in 2005. Well, the fact is this--bad things are always gonna happen in life. I accepted that a long time ago, probably starting when my mother died when I was very young. I do everything in my power to avoid bad, painful situations in my life--but it's just one of the factors in life you can't fully control. Everyone--you, me, or anyone else--can detour themselves away from potentially bad and harmful situations if you are the only factor. But when there's outside variables--other people, your mate, unstoppable health conditions, etc.--it's more or less impossible for you to predict what type of situation you'll end up in. People change--sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst--it's a fact of life. There's been two people specifically in my life (one guy and one girl, probably not exactly who you think it is), that I never thought would change their relationship stances towards me. But they did. And I honestly felt like I didn't change towards them until they changed. I have absolutely accepted that people you think will always be there may not be. But I always look at the glass half-full, not half-empty. I know someone I might be building a fantastic relationship with might change, but I have faith that they won't. In my humble opinion, you have to have faith in life--all aspects. Even thought you've been through a sh*tty situation, you have to have faith that better and happier days are ahead. Nothing about this world or life is perfect--but you gotta have faith. Sounds cliche, but it's so true. Because if you don't, and you harbor that negativity within--you'll only ultimately end being miserable. I'm not saying move past a painful and excruciating situation instantaneous--move at a rate you feel comfortable with. But you gotta move on. It's the only way to get better. As Shane Helms would say, "L.I.G.--let it go." So Rated X Superbitch, I'm pulling for you all the way. Be strong, and do your best to move in a positive, happy direction. Make the ones who screwed you over realize that their selfishness has only made you better and stronger--because you have made yourself better and stronger. Have faith--it's the best antidote to sadness and struggle--in love and life.

Ideas for future blogs..... Some good stuff has been mentioned already, travel stories, fan encounters, etc.... People have said they like the inspirational message stuff, so that's cool. But me personally am much more into fun. So I would suggest fun stuff.

Here's a fun little story just for you Missy. Back in the day, when Jeff and I were doing indies, we were making the drive back home from a NCW (National Championship Wrestling) show. NCW ran their shows outside of Asheville, North Carolina, and it always took us around 5 hours to get home after the shows. One night we were driving home in my yellow Honda CRX, and I was totally exhausted about two hours into the drive home. It was just Jeff and I, and I asked him to please stay up with me and help me stay awake. Jeff kept dozing off, and I kept waking him up begging him to keep me company so we wouldn't wreck. Jeff refused to force himself to wake up--so I just gave up on him. I would roll the windows down so the freezing air would keep me awake. I also cranked the music at maximum volume in an attempt to stay conscious and not crash. Jeff actually woke up and asked me to roll the windows up and turn the music down--he was trying to sleep. I fought and struggled to stay awake and was finally within a couple of miles from our house. We have a state-owned property about a mile from out house called the "Clay-hole" where the state stores excess sand and soil. Occasionally, transfer trucks and heavy machinery are parked there overnight if they've been working in the area. Well, on this night, there was a huge 18-wheeler parked in the "Clay-hole." With Jeff still asleep, I pulled off the road, and pulled up as close as I could get to the 18-wheeler. Suddenly, I slammed down on my horn and yelled at the top of my lungs in horror. Jeff instantly woke up and thought we were in a head-on collision--he screamed louder than I've ever heard anyone scream and nearly kicked my windshield out with his feet. I fell out of my seat laughing and Jeff claimed he almost had a heart attack. That was the last time he ever went to sleep on me while I was making a long drive, LOL.

So what did you guys think? Did you like this particular blog? I always read all of your comments to my blogs and love hearing what you have to say. If you dig this concept of responding to responses, then I'll do it once in a while. I also want to thank everyone for being patient with me when it comes to sending messages. I reply when I can, but I get roughly 1,000 a day--so it's virtually impossible to reply to every one. I also want to thank everyone for constantly making our team larger--we're at 21,000 friends and quickly growing! Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth" just randomly came up on my iPod--that song so reminds me of being in sixth grade and the first radio that Jeff and I ever got. That song is so old school, I dig it. Speaking of old school, the next episode of The Hardy Show is going way old school, tell you more later. Adios cyberamigos!
