It's been a while since the last time I was here, so I thought I'd pop in with some stuff.

OBSERVATIONS

The one thing I continue to observe about this scene is that it is a closed circuit. By this I mean that the types of interactions you have are so repetitive that it is 90% science and 10% art. For example:

1. Local wrestling is nearly impossible for the first few years. I have many thoughts on why, but nevermind that for now. Seriously, I've wrestled 4 people (love you, guys) since being a member here. 2 of them were from out-of-state and all of them weren't in my city.
2. I've had more success in coordinating matches with people out of my state as a result of the previous point.
3. Meetups require a ton of planning. A ton.
4. I don't think there is a specific definition for speedo. I thought this was a brand, but it seems to be a clothing item apart from that.
5. Most people that I talk to find themselves at a loss when I step outside of wrestling. That said, I enjoy the carnage. The fact is, I plan on making friends with the people I wrestle with. That is always the intent. Out of the people I wrestle with, there has been one I don't keep up with.

That's about all for this topic.

GEAR

I really need more ideas. I have some stuff, but you guys are demanding and I have no idea where to get this stuff. Ideas need to appear in my comments section so I know where to distribute my paychecks, ok? Okay.

OTHER

I'm trying to think of ways to get more involved and, considering the above, to plan more trips to see you far away people so I can get some matches in. I'm also starting to see parts of my wrestler personality (if that is a thing) emerge. This has been an interesting experience. I feel like I'm finding my place, but I need more experience to be sure.

Also, I want to be more involved in the creative side of the wrestling community. Hopefully, I'll be able to channel that with my web design skills somehow.

Finally, I have accounts in a few places now:

• Globalfight
• Realgng
• Bearhugger.net
• Here (well, duh)

Of these places, this seems to be the place that I will probably call home for like ever. Each of these other places have their strengths, but in terms of actually communicating with people, this place is better than most. I can elaborate, but let's just say I like it here more than anywhere right now.

Now let me work on some mockups and all that and see if I can make something good from here.
