Anyway, I was thinking about Saturday school this morning, because I remember being there, tired, bored, and instead of doing homework, I would pass the time by letting my imagination run wild. I would do this by grabbing a pen and a notebook and writing out professional wrestling shows. I was a huge, huge wrestling fan in high school. It was the most important thing in my life at that time. I had all these characters and story lines, Rivalries and enemies. I had gimmicks, factions. I had this entire roster of wrestlers that I had dreamed up, with champions, and everything, and I would sit there and write out an entire wrestling show in that four hours of sitting there. I realized this morning that that was really the only time I was ever creative about anything in my life, creative on my own, not forced by assignment by a teacher, or in a group setting like making songs with a band. Of course, I was massively embarrassed by this little hobby. I would have died if anyone had found these writings. Even in the late 90's and early 2000's when wrestling was pretty cool, it was still not that cool. I felt like some little loser wrestling fan. But it helped me pass the time while being stuck in a situation that was extremely boring, and kept me alert and excited about what I could come up with next. I couldn't write fast enough to keep up with my ideas. It was never something I would have ever considered perusing as a career or whatever, but it was a fun little hobby and something that really brought me a lot of personal pride and joy.
So this was just a thought I had this morning and I thought I would share it here on the blog. Thanks for reading. Have a great weekend.
