The healing power of Professional Wrestling and, actually, all Professional Sports...

Howdy peeps. I apologize for the extremely long sabbatical of an absence but I've been dealing with a lot of rough times in my life. To be honest upfront, I've been recovering from depression and anxiety on top of going through a rough break-up. However, this all really brings me to the reason I want to begin writing again. The healing power of professional wrestling, and quite honestly, professional sports in general. I mean it as a way that I've truely been able to get through those rough patches in life. Without all that, I don't know where I would be.

Everyone has that outlet in life, or the guilty pleasure per-say. Wrestling is mine, and I have that to thank for helping me just have time for myself. I've looked forward to RAW, ROH, etc. and those few hours of zen really helped me recover, or rather begin to recover from what I've dealt with the last few months. Sorry TNA fans, I've lost a lot of faith in that product BUT, I'll tune in when I can, heh.

While I'm trying to expand my horizon's to writing about all sports, (And even if I'm not minoring in Writing anymore, thanks UCF.) professional wrestling is always and will always be my passions. In many ways I should thank Vince McMahon, all the owners of sports, all the players, wrestlers, etc. for giving me the time to myself that made me forget about all the hardships and difficult times in my life.

Never before have I looked forward to the distraction of a "Da da da... Da da da." from Sportscenter, or the Papa Roach theme song to RAW. Anyone ever been there before? Well, I wouldn't wish the things I've been through on anyone, the fact of the matter is, if it wasn't for these outlets, my recovery would have certainly been a pain in the you know what. And lately, the Orlando Magic playoffs have been a fantastic example of this. 8>)

So thanks to all these things and I once again can assure each and every reader that I'm back and will be hitting on a ton of subjects and welcome any feedback at jeatonbucfan@gmail.com. Thanks for reading my humble and touching (Come on now, you know you shed a tear. ) post here, and have a good one peeps!
