Time . A little strange, three days earlier, i have a website and i know i am still a dinosaur. Before twitter and facebook and instagram but i still have a website and the person that runs it for me send me a lot of emails he thinks i will be interested in and a friend of mine from high school i was talking about, he said playfully beat me up, much bigger than me. One of the seniors i knew very well, lost touch with him, wrote into the website, it has been 20 years but i want to let you know, some wrestlers are catching up and got to talking about you, hope everything is going well hummed hopefully run when to you again. Nice message. Three days later, someone with shaved head kind of muscular, just like my friend from high school, comes running towards me. I am thinking, if you watch the video which you dont need to watch, it doesnt get any better. I am actually smiling because i think what are the odds this guy found me . I dont have time for it to sink in before i am on the ground.
