Procrastination can seem all well and great, but the more you put something off, the more you’ll wish you would’ve done it earlier, take homework for example why were most of us so keen on putting it off so much!? I mean yeah I get it, it wasn’t always fun and it was a bit annoying having to bring home work, I mean we could’ve easily just done it in school.
Maybe that’s why people went to study hall (study period for some) or tried doing their work during lunch hour so they wouldn’t have to worry about doing the work at home, but even if we had to take work back home, what was so wrong with getting it done when we knew we had it!? Why did we always make a big fuss and always see it as some chore all the time!?
Had we just gotten it done when we needed it to be, I don’t think the stress with having to do it would’ve been so bad, but because it’s easier to put things off for later, we don’t think of it as being that big of a deal, because in our minds if we don’t get to it now, we’ll get to it eventually….
Only when it does come around to “eventually” by that time we would’ve already forgotten about it, at least until it starts to kick in that we were meant to do something and later remember what that something was, which then causes us to go into panic mode, to where we then stress even more about it…..yeah okay, we probably would’ve still stressed about it,
However our stress levels would’ve most likely been way lower if we got it all out the way first, instead of dealing with it last……but this isn’t just about homework i’m talking about, that was just an example, procrastinating things in your day to day life also leaves you to stress……
We all know life is already stressful no matter how we may try to look at it, so why add more stress then the stresses life already has to it!? We’ve all procrastinated, i’ll admit i’m probably one of the biggest procrastinators you’ll ever know and or meet, which is why i’m writing about this……
Well that and I heard someone mention homework off a video I watched yesterday and it had me thinking about why it is that we always used to or still try our best to put it off so much…….
We may think it’s not a problem and that it’s fine to procrastinate and sometimes it is when you know you need a little break off something, that being said however, it can get pretty stale after a while if you procrastinate too much (believe me) eventually all that leaving for later will start to weigh on you, causing much more to be done than what you originally started with, leaving you to feel way more overwhelmed, which will have you really wanting to put things off for sure.
Now you’re left mentally and sometimes even emotionally and physically crashing all the time……my point is…..maybe if we procrastinated a little less, we probably would get so much more done, as well as feel so much better for it, knowing we got to it earlier instead of waiting to do it later.
By doing that it gives us more time to relax, getting rid of most of the worries and stresses in our minds……I must say though, some people do thrive more on leaving things for later, but to each their own I guess, as long as it’s in a healthy way, I guess it’s alright…..
P.S. Before you say it, no I was not procrastinating on this post, I was just looking it over…..an extra day…..
The other day I was watching one of my favorite gaming channels Jacksepticeye (well I watch him quite a lot actually) you might remember me talking about him before or you might not, he’s quite the entertainer, his content is very interesting and he has a very unique and great personality!! He not only plays video games, but he also has original content that is a little more intimate, by that I mean not video game type videos,
but more the kind that make you laugh when you’re having a rough day and need something to pick you up. Some people like him and others tend to stay clear of him because of personality and how weird he is, but I don’t think he’s that bad, but everyone has their own view on things and that is perfectly fine, I still enjoy his content, but anyway……
Let’s talk about the game, I don’t really know how to introduce the game to, because it’s on the serious part of town…..the name of the game is called Missed Messages and it’s a pretty deep and interesting kind of game…..
It’s based around self harm and suicide, but has other things to it as well that is a little more lighthearted, although it is pretty sensitive, so if you don’t want to get into those topics that’s okay, the game does warn you with any possible triggers before playing the game, but for some who are interested in seeing what the game is like, I would say check it out,
I don’t really know how to describe the game, so i’m just going to let it speak for itself, so if you do watch it you’ll understand it a lot better, i’ll leave it in case you are curious to seeing how the gameplay is. It’s actually pretty nice from the looks of it, it’s one of those choice based games to see the different outcomes to the story, but with a deeper meaning to it of course…..
It has a pretty cool art style to it as well, when you first look at it, it’s pretty calming and chilled, but the more you get into the story, it does get pretty intense……but the reason I bring up this game, is the message that comes with it.
It shows you just how much you don’t know, when it comes to someone and what they’re thoughts are, they could seem fine, yet you wouldn’t know that deep down, that’s not exactly how their feeling, unless you really get to know them and just talk to them. People are so used to keeping things bottled in and because they’re so used to it, they have trouble asking for help or just opening up alone about things in general….
We’ve all been there, where if there’s something we’re struggling with or dealing with, we keep it to ourselves thinking we can handle it and adding our problems onto someone else, even though it shouldn’t be a worry or they may not have a problem with you coming to them,
You still think of it as being a burden in a way and so we chose to just keep to ourselves to avoid adding to their problems even if we are secretly needing a bit of comfort or reassurance.
It’s easy to have a simple conversation when it comes to things you might have in common with someone or something random and that……but when it has to do with a problem or something that is hard to talk about that’s when it becomes difficult and where people start to shut down and sometimes that’s dangerous if you’re not careful, in many different ways.
However it isn’t always dangerous, some people just prefer to be alone and stay to themselves, which is fine, there’s nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it’s good to see how people are from time to time, because you don’t always know what they’re dealing with and the kind of struggles they’re going through, even if you aren’t sure what to do,
Just showing them that you’re there if they need you and even sitting with them in silence would probably mean so much, sometimes not saying anything is better than trying to say something, most of the time all people really need is comfort and reassurance and just for someone to be there.
Final Thoughts:Just by watching the gameplay, it looks like a pretty great game to play or check out, I don’t really play games as often as I used to and when I did, it was mainly on my Xbox One or my 3Ds, sometimes my tablet too although I rarely play with it now…..but this game is something I think should be given a try and if you don’t want to play it, i’d say it’s worth checking out, there’s so much more to it than just the art style…….
You get a lot of realness and emotion from it as well, believe me it’s worth the time and understanding with the message that it’s trying to share with everyone, even Jack shares his thoughts on it, as well as knowing that kind of struggle that is talked about in the game, so if you’re willing, seriously check it out, I think you’ll find it very interesting and maybe even helpful too.
Here’s the game if you want to check it out: Missed Messages if it’s too much while you’re watching it remember you don’t have to continue, but if you do continue I hope you enjoy the story and gameplay of it!! If there’s anyone who is having a hard time and wants to talk, could be about anything, music, favorite tv shows or you need someone to just vent to a little, you’re more than welcome to here, i’ll be happy to be an ear for you.
These are the words and lyrics to one of the famous shows loved by many, the show people can’t seem to get enough of and the show people want back, that show ladies and gentlemen is Degrassi!!
Starting the journey with The Kids of Degrassi Street we watched and witness the growth of teens transitioning into Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High, introduced and welcomed the newer and Next Generation of the Next Class, following them through the highs and lows of their lives while also getting to know each and every character individually.
Some relatable and some not as much, but each one held a story that made an impact most of us would remember. Stories like Joey and Caitlin’s relationship, Spike’s (Christine) pregnancy, Jimmy’s changing life experience, the life of J.T. Yorke and so many other moments and memories from all the generations.
It’s crazy to see just how much this series has grown and expanded over the years with it originally premiering back in the late 70’s with the Kids of Degrassi Street, continuing on up until 2017 with Degrassi Next Class.
Being able to watch all these different generations from the show and seeing how different or similar some of the characters are from the previous timelines of Degrassi is incredible!!
Not only that, but the storylines from the series and the way they were able to restyle some of the topics that were expressed back in the late 70’s, 80’s and even early 90’s, to then bring them front and center for real life generations of this decade, is something worth admiring.
In the times where these topics were building, not many people felt comfortable speaking upon these topics because of how real and sensitive they were, so for the creators and writers of Degrassi to create an environment within a show that tackles, things like:
Teen pregnancy, drugs, mental disorders, self harm, different kinds of abuse and even tough situations like suicide as well as situations dealing with certain disabilities is quite fascinating because it wasn’t something that was seen often.
Now if you couldn’t already tell, just by everything i’ve stated, i’ve been pretty interested in all thing Degrassi lately and when I say interested I mean obsessed, i’m not ashamed to admit it, what can I say it’s a good show, that you can’t help, but get invested in.
Whenever I watch an episodes of Degrassi, I have this thing where I like to read the comment section and one of the comments had someone saying how even though Degrassi was very popular in Canada (Canada being it’s home place) over here in the states it was pretty much like a rare gem, because we didn’t really get or have shows like Degrassi, the formula it had to it and everything about it was just……
Let’s just say it’s hard to put into words……it was just different, different in a good way, it was that kind of show that coming across it, you’d be really curious to what it was about and you couldn’t help, but be drawn to it in some way, it’s just a really well put together kind of show.
You could tell just how dedicated the writers and everyone was with this show or series shall I say and how much it meant to them. You can always pick up on that kind of thing, even if shows like Degrassi aren’t really your thing, it’s nice knowing you can still appreciate everything about it!!
Watching every episode of it so far has been pretty intense firstly, but also very interesting and entertaining as well……the intense are of course the episodes and how they’re laid out and the interesting is everything else, with the different styles all the characters had to them, Spike with her famous hair, Joey and his fedora and Hawaiian shirts, all the different personalities from all the generations, just everything!!!
The 70’s and 80’s of Degrassi High and Junior High have more of a darker tone to it compared to The New Generation and New Class, however with New Generation and New Class, you also get those serious topics that you would from Degrassi High and Junior High, just in different ways of course.
When it come to The Kids of Degrassi Street however, well they start you off with the basics of when you’re a kid, some examples: A new family moves to town, a friend moves away, having crushes stuff like that…..Kids of Degrassi Street also tackle serious topics, but it’s not as full forced as it would be with the other versions of the show, which in a way is a good thing, because it would be really odd if it was like the other versions.
I always found decades like the 70s, 80’s and 90’s so fascinating……when you look back to those time whether you were apart of it or you just learned about it, you’ll notice a lot of different things from those decades compared to now, that you don’t really see much of anymore.
For example: The choice of clothing everyone wore, you’ll notice how comfortable, yet unique they were, which I love by the way!! Then you have the different sayings, such as Broomhead (which is another way to call someone an idiot) however I think it was in the show where that saying was used a lot…..not really sure if that was a popular saying back then……
Side Note:I noticed in the show that the word alright was used a lot, but I know that has nothing to do with the 80’s, just felt like pointing that out.
Compared to the different styles of today though and the different sayings and slangs they used, you’ll realize just how much everything’s evolved from within the time span of those times…….it’s just mad how much it’s changed since then!! I always wondered what it’d be like to experience the 80’s and 70’s and that in certain ways, with having to wear the kind of clothes they wore, speaking the way they did, even the school dances……
I know that’s random, but seriously what was that like!? The hairstyles they’d have too…..it’s just interesting to think about you know!?
I was born mid 90’s, but I didn’t really get to embrace the 90’s like how most people did, I know the fashion choices were pretty out of this world though, but other than that, didn’t really get to embrace it properly. I did get to experience part of the 80’s once…….that was something……sorry i’m getting a little lost in the nostalgia of decades that I haven’t really experienced.
The closes i’d say to me experiencing decades like the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s is the music really, I love old music……speaking of music, how about we talk more on Degrassi a bit, specifically it’s theme songs, both Degrassi High and Junior High’s theme were quite something, in the best way of course!!
At times at least……it’s actually pretty funny when you think about, because ahhh man was it both great and not at the same time……when you watch those old episodes of Degrassi High and Junior High, you’ll notice just how upbeat and peppy the theme was, I mean you have this very serious show that is Degrassi right and you would think because of the way the show is, the theme would fit with it……NOPE not at all, it’s really odd……
Knowing the kind of show Degrassi is and going back and hearing the theme that it had at one point and how joyful it was, you would think you were watching a whole different show until it starts.
There’s so many different moments in certain episodes where it’s extremely sad and very serious and you get to the ending of them, thinking the theme would stay put and not be heard for that specific episode……yet it plays anyway and you find yourself listening to a very cheerful Degrassi theme, while saying to yourself, “I don’t think that was the best way to end the episode or the episode could’ve done without the cheerful music at the end”
It was great though, I loved it, but it just came in so awkward at times……at least it was very catchy and let’s not forget they did bring us a new and improved Degrassi theme, now we can sit back in nostalgia and relive all the amazing Degrassi themes, how lucky are we!?
We even get to relive that famous bonus track by The Zit Remedy (a.k.a The Zits for a short while, until they went back to their original band name)
Final Thoughts: Now at season 3 of Degrassi: The Next Generation, I gotta say I don’t really know what made me want to watch the older versions from back then, but i’m glad I did look into them, because not only was it nice watching all those versions, but it gives you this whole yearbook on how the show came together, having everything make so much more sense compared to if you just watched it from Next Generation or New Class…..
Going back and looking to where it all first began, you then get bits and pieces added to the rest of the Degrassi series where you get to know all about the previous characters and what they were like and how they did things and just so much more and I think that’s great!! Watching the episodes now and seeing characters like Spike, Snake, Joey, Caitlin, Mr Raditch and others from the Degrassi High and Junior High series……
Seeing how they are now in Next Generation, is both crazy and pretty cool at the same time!! You’ve watched them as one personality for so long and then you see what they’re like older and it’s like, you can’t believe it……some you can see have stayed the same in some ways and there’s others who have changed a bit, but still have a bit of that personality that they did back in Junior High and Degrassi High and it’s just mad!!
I love how looking back at those series you can think to yourself “ahhh so that’s how that happen, I get it now” it makes you feel like you’re apart of it and shows like that stay memorable.
So today (yesterday now) I learned that it’s been 10 years since one of my favorite bands (The Jonas Brothers) released their 3rd……sorry 4TH (had to look into it to be sure) studio album………10 YEARS!? wow, that’s insane!! You know when an album (movie, show, ect) comes out and you remember the day it came out like exactly and how you felt that day!?
Yeah…..I can’t say I remember when this album came out or how I felt when it did, I knew some of the songs from the album and I remember watching the music videos for Fly With Me and Paranoid all the time on Disney Channel, those were the days……..
The first time really listening to Lines, Vines and Trying Times was when I got the album when attending their 2009 world tour (my first ever live concert btw) it’s a real good album, might be one of my favorites, apart from A Little Bit Longer, that’s gotta be one of my all time favorite albums from them.
If I had to put their albums together in a row and tell you which ones were my favorite in order (based off the ones I have of course) it’d be in this order:
A Little Bit Longer
Jonas Brothers (Self Titled Album)
Lines Vines & Trying Times
Now on one of my social medias (Instagram, where I saw it originally) they asked what was one of our favorite songs from that album and for me that’s a bit of a hard one, because well, I have a few……..but instead of stressing myself out with choosing just one song, i’ll add my top 5 favorite songs from the album……shouldn’t be hard!!
Top 5 Favorite Lines, Vines and Trying Times songs:
Side Note : I totally nailed it, wasn’t hard one bit!! ^_^ (pretty sure I sat looking at the track list for an 1 hour, could’ve been less for all I know, it wasn’t 5 mins though i’ll tell you that)
Okay so after some time, I think I have a good list here…..
Maaaan that was really hard to list, *let’s out a hard breath* so much nostalgia hit me the minute I saw that track list…….I seriously didn’t think it’d be that hard deciding, out of these 5, there were only 3 songs off this album I was certain about to be on this list, I even had to go and make a top 10 list in one of my journals just to sort this out simply, not kidding…..
13 songs off that album and I struggled to write down a top 10 list!!? Top 5 that’s okay, because it’s not easy trying to crutch all your favorite songs into one small list, but a top 10 list!? You might as well call me a pathetic poor unfortunate soul with that one…..in all fairness though I did say it was a good album haha…….goodness……10 years!? I still can’t believe it’s been that long already, time sure does zoom by doesn’t it!?
You know what I realized!? Lines, Vines and Trying Times released June 16, 2009 right!? This was their last full studio album since they’re split or shall I say “hiatus” as a band, they did release a couple songs back in 2013, but it was only 2 single releases with their songs Pom Poms and First Time.
These songs I believe were supposed to be on their 5th album titled V, but never really saw the light of day due to creative differences in where they wanted their sound to go as a band and one of the reasons they’re split happened in the first place.
Fast forward 10 years later, since this album released, plus the two singles they also put out before their split……BOOM the Jonas Brothers are back, we get new music and EVERYBODY’S freaking out and you know I was one of them. Kevin, Nick and Joe without warning had the internet on a fury the day it was announced they’ve returned!!
You know how HUGE that was seeing that!!! I don’t think anyone thought they’d ever come back as a band to be honest, I always had hope they would because The Jonas Brothers are one of my all time favorite bands, they were the first band I got into and will always be my favorite no matter how old I get!!
I tell you though when they split back in 2013, it was pretty shocking, I remember hearing that and being pretty bummed out about the announcement, however, reading into it I did understand the reasoning for it……when you’re in a band or a group, things like creative differences or having different views on things will sometimes lead to some kind of friction.
Majority of the time there’s going to be a situation where someone in a group or band might want to try and branch out to work on different projects or want to see what else they can do, whether it’s with music or something completely different and not everyone apart of that group will entirely agree on it and from there it may get a bit messy.
With the Jonas Brothers……from trying to understand the reasoning behind their split and why, because they weren’t agreeing on how they wanted their sound to go with their music and of course everything else surrounding the split, you learned with that, it was slowly effecting the relationship between all of them, not just as a band, but also as real life brothers and when that starts to happen…..things start to fall apart and nothing works and i’m sure, for them, at the time, in those moment……
It was either break up as a band or break up as brothers and because they were as close as they were, they knew they couldn’t let whatever was happening between them ruin their close brotherhood and they’re whole family…….sooo, they chose to look at the bigger picture and take a break from each other for a while and you know what it worked!!
They surprised us all with their We’re back” announcement and had most of us losing our minds running through all the walls we came across!!
No but seriously, I really think them going off and doing separate things for a while helped them rebuild whatever cracks they had (if there were any) in their relationships and probably some other things, Nick with his acting and music, Joe with his (former) band DNCE and Kevin with his family and a pretty good food app apparently!!
(haven’t actually used it, but i’ve heard good things on it, helps you find places to go when hungry, mainly restaurants I think)
It’s good that they all found success doing different things though, but now that they’re back together, it’s good days, now we can sing to the moon and cheer with our pom poms in hand knowing that JB (THE ORIGINAL JB, YEAH I SAID IT!!) ARE BACK, BABYYYYYY!!! YES!!!
HAPPY 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY LINES, VINES AND TRYING TIMES AND WELCOME BACK NICK, KEVIN AND JOE!!! I know this is late now, but thank you for bringing so many memories in my younger years and for making me laugh and just for everything, you might be able to tell already, but we’ve missed you!!
Now I have to be honest, I haven’t actually heard any of their new music, so i’ve got a few to catch up on, but i’ll get there, i’ll have to brace myself though as I know I could be in for a ride with the new sound, but i’m really looking forward to hearing what they’ve come up with.
So I was catching up with last weeks Raw and I came to the part where it was Dean Ambrose Vs Bobby Lashley, now the only thing to this was that it would be Dean’s last match in the WWE……which I wasn’t too excited about, I was hoping that Dean wouldn’t leave the WWE, but in way, we all knew it was coming considering it was announced a lot of the time.
Dean’s career hadn’t really been the same for a good while, he won the WWE Championship back in 2016 cashing in on Seth Rollins after he won it from Roman that same night (yes I know we’ve spoken about this) only it wasn’t as memorable as his Intercontinental Championship reign holding the main title for 83 days (2 months with the WWE Championship)
Also let’s not forget Elimination Chamber 2017, the one Dean was apart of, I didn’t forget (okay I did forget) apparently that was the last time Dean’s career went somewhere……..
You know, you would think, after he suffered quite an injury that had him out of action for 9 months, you would think when he returned from recovering they would have something for him, but they didn’t………unless you’re counting the whole Shield reunion, than that’s a different story, but if we’re talking him as an individual wrestler………
They really didn’t do that much with him there……..well okay apparently they did try something with Dean when he returned, but yeaaah it didn’t work……so we’re just going to sweep it away and pretend it never existed, but in all fairness, I didn’t watch the whole “WWE Universe germ keep away thing” so I don’t know what happened there, I missed the whole thing.
If this was the gimmick though, that made Dean finally decide to go: “Yeaaaah so listen Vince, i’ve been thinking and i’ve decided that I won’t be renewing my contract here with the WWE…….once WrestleMania 35 has finished i’ll be going, i’ll stick around for one more Raw since it’s the night after Mania, but once that’s done, i’m leaving……”
I could understand him wanting to leave then, I mean you make this grand return after being out with an injury for almost a year (ALMOST, not quite a year, but close enough) you then get this gimmick that’s supposed to be your heel turn where you don’t want to catch the WWE Universe’s “germs!?…..” Okay I mean I don’t see how it could go wrong……..
Only that’s exactly what happened apparently……..maybe Dean should’ve evacuated the building before the radiation idea got to him………we were all WAITING for this Dean Ambrose heel turn to happen and when we finally got it, it was a complete disaster in the end apparently…..
Side Note: You know I seriously should go back and watch those moments just to give my take on the experience of what everyone else saw.
I know some would say the way Dean turned was distasteful, while others would counter that and say it was actually good because it was unexpected and no one would’ve saw it coming……which they didn’t. So in a way it worked……at least for a minute, once everything went full gear, I guess it just crashed and burned………..the gas mask was cool though!!
It’s just a shame because Dean to me, was and still is one of the most talented wrestlers i’ve ever seen, not just in ring, but also on the mic. I feel that he could’ve done so much more in the WWE, had they maybe let him take over his character and just let him freestyle with it, if they had done that……I think he would’ve probably stayed.
I’m not really sure on the real reason Dean decided to leave, but i’m going to guess that it had something to do with him being unhappy with the way his career was going or just unhappy being in the WWE in general, I just hope wherever he goes next or whatever he does next, that he’s happy and that everything goes well for him.
The matches that he had while in the WWE and also when he returned from injury, I thought they could’ve been so much better, some of them i’ll say were good for what they were, but because it’s Dean and I know what Dean’s matches could be like and are like, they should’ve been so much better then what they actually were.
I really wish they would’ve given him a few proper feuds before he decided to leave, maybe if he had someone to work off of as inspiration or if he was able to gain control of his own character, maybe that would’ve changed his mind……..
If he still decided he wanted to leave even after those feuds then that’s fine, but they could’ve given him something good or at least something memorable, that way, when he did finally leave we’d be able to see him go in a good light you know!?
The match he had last week with Bobby Lashley, it wasn’t even a proper match, I mean we got to see Dean do what he does best and go crazy on his opponents, which was good, I always enjoy that Brawler type side of Dean.
I just would’ve preferred him to have a nice send off match, I think he really deserved that, but we didn’t get it, his send off match ended the opposite way when he was put through the announce table (by the way the match never started to begin with) but he should’ve been the one standing tall at the end of it, whether it was a match or not, it shouldn’t have been Lashley getting the last attack……..
On a good note though the crowd chanted at Lashley that he still sucked and also thanked Dean for his entertainment and for every moment that he gave us and every great match that we got to see him be apart of, that was a good moment!! I was really down on the whole fact that he decided to leave the WWE and that the match, well not match, turned out the way it did.
At least we will have the good moments and best matches in Dean’s career to look back on, but without further ado Thank You Dean for giving us those great and memorable moments and for just sharing your time, even though some people may not have seen it, you were and still are one of the best wrestlers and talents we’ve ever had the opportunity of witnessing.
I don’t think your talents should’ve been wasted the way they were, but thanks for letting us in on your comedic side as well as your serious side, with that you gave us a little part of you to take and just thank you for sharing some parts of your personality with us!!
Also it was a real pleasure getting to meet you during Summerslam Weekend back in 2017, that is a moment that both me and my friend Ray will never ever forget!!! I’ll never forget how extremely nervous we were that day, what a bunch of nerds right, haha!?!
We actually didn’t want to bother you, but thank you for taking the time to take that photo with us, would’ve liked to have gotten to say a few words to you then, but the fact that you even took the time to do that……we will forever be grateful for it, so thank you so much!!
P.S. you’re really tall, I remember watching you come over to us and was just surprised on how tall you actually were haha…….
No, but seriously thank you for everything, if you ever come across this, I just want to say that I wish you nothing, but the very best in your upcoming journey and I look forward to seeing what you get up to whatever you do next………whether you’re headed to a different wrestling company, going back to the indies or just living life…….whatever you do I just want you to be happy, but thank you again Dean and good luck with everything!!
Update:THIS. MADE. ME. CRY. I DON’T EVEN CARE!!! Maaan I love Seth and Roman for actually giving Dean the proper send off that he deserved, that WWE exclusive, really got to me, the minute I heard Dean’s theme, I realized that would be the last time we’d be hearing that and I just cried, well I teared up……..i’m glad that Dean has you guys as friends otherwise we would’ve just seen Dean get put through the announce table by Lashley and WWE go “welp it was nice having you in the company Dean, well wishes to you” (joke…kinda)
The Shield Say Farewell To Dean Ambrose Source: WWE.com
No, but i’m really going to miss Dean, i’m gonna miss his entrance theme, the weird quirks that he always had, but most importantly, i’m going to miss seeing him in the ring and giving us his witty and most serious hard-hitting promo’s and all that jazz…….
It really sucks that WWE let a good talent, scratch that great “not knowing what they had” kind of talent in Dean Ambrose go to waste like that, but again like I said, I do wish him all the very best whatever he does next, at the end of the day, I just want Dean to be happy, even though he was/still is one of my favorites and I loved seeing him wrestle and everything……
I always saw Dean as something special and just an overall kind of character in the ring and out of the ring and it’s just not going to be the same, Dean has that presence that is going to be hard to match, but I know no one will match Dean’s presence, they could try, but there’s only one Dean Ambrose.
Watching Seth and Roman, do that for Dean though, I didn’t think i’d get that emotional, but thank you Rollins and Reigns for doing that………now that Dean’s officially gone from the WWE, I hope that he’s truly happy with whatever he’s up to, I gotta say though the fact that Dean stuck it out for as long as he did, you gotta respect him for it, it was never about money with Dean, the only thing he ever wanted and loved was pro wrestling, pro wrestling saved him and gave him something to look forward to.
It’s everything to him so for Dean to make that decision to leave WWE that took a hell of a lot of strength from him, that’s why he stood as long as he did, because he cared about it so much, he doesn’t mind entertaining, but for him if he does continue to wrestle somewhere else, I think he’s going to make sure that he’s getting a say on what he does in the ring and on the mic.
You’ll know why now, if you read my last Dean Ambrose post why I said with Dean you have to really get to know him because there’s a whole different side to him that you don’t know and if you want to get to know it, you’ll have to dig deep and not just understand him as a wrestler, but also as a real person too.
If you want to watch the tear-jerker and properly done send off moment by Dean’s former Shield brethren check it out, I left it for you guys, it’s real good!!
P.S. They double whammy’d me by playing Dean’s theme in the beginning and then the Shield’s theme at the end, YOU CAN’T DO THAT TO MEEEEE!!! I have a heart you know!?
I know I said last time in my last Dean Ambrose post, but this time I mean it one last time…..SIERRA, HOTEL, INDIA, ECHO, LIMA, DELTA….SHIELD!!!! We’re gonna miss you Dean, thanks for everything and all the best to you!!
So with WrestleMania around the corner, literally 2 days away, I thought i’d share some of my predictions on who I think could possibly take it home this Sunday, we have a lot of interesting matches headed out way, including the very first Women’s main event featuring Ronda, Charlotte and The Man Becky Lynch, so without further ado let’s talk predictions on what we could look forward to this upcoming Sunday at WrestleMania 35.
Let’s starts with the match everyone’s talking about that is:
Ronda Rousey VS Charlotte Flair VS Becky Lynch For The Raw AND SDL Women’s Championship (Winner Takes All)
Who would’ve thought that after 35 YEARS of WrestleMania it would finally be the Women’s turn to main event on the grandest stage of them all that is WrestleMania!? That is insane, we all know that it took ages for the Women’s division to go from being referred to as Divas transitioned to being called WWE Superstars along with the Men……
Then we had the Raw Women’s Championship reviled to us and then later the SDL Women’s Championship (Which I think is the best title, but i’m probably just being bias, kidding they’re both nice titles)
We got to watch them be included into the Royal Rumble as real competitors and then watched as they were then given their very own all Women’s PPV that was Evolution. We were recently and finally given a very well deserve women’s tag team division and got to see them battle it out at Elimination Chamber to see who would become the inaugural holders of those said Women’s Tag Team Championships……..
Now we get to watch as they put their hearts and souls on the line and go to town this Sunday as the main event of WrestleMania, talk about history in the making, I don’t know how this match is going to turn out, but I know that it’s going to be one hell of a match between those 3 Women come Sunday and I look forward to watching it all unfold when they do face off.
Now I gotta say, i’d be lying if I said this matchup wasn’t a tough match to call, I mean have you seen the 3 women in that match!? It’s gonna be a little tough, we have Charlotte who was the very first Raw Women’s Champion, who just recently became the new SDL Women’s Champion defeating Asuka for it, then we have Becky who was the very first SDL Women’s Champion.
Then there’s Ronda who recently signed with the WWE, leaving UFC and then later became the Raw Women’s Champion a little later after she had just arrived, all 3 women are pretty great in the ring so it’s going to be a very interesting and tough match when we see this match happen.
Prediction: Like I said this is tough, however i’m going for The Man known as Becky Lynch to win this match on Sunday, why because I really want her to win and take both title home and i’ve been doing some thinking Ronda and Charlotte already have titles, The Man however doesn’t which means……….it could be her time to shine Sunday and she could become the Raw and SDL Women’s Champion at the same time………
Making history again within the history making match so, yeah i’m going for Becky Lynch here no brainer whatsoever, even though I love Charlotte, I’m going with The Man that is Becky Lynch as my pick for this match, to win it.
Brock Lesnar Vs Seth Rollins (Universal Championship)
Brock Lesnar………Seth Rollins…………Brock The Beast Incarnente, Seth Freaking Rollins (a.k.a. The Man……other man) tough choice here……..you see we have Brock who’s held this title for waaaaaaay to long, we only ever see it when a big PPV comes around because Lesnar can’t be bothered to show up at least once on a regular Raw show unless it’s when the PPV starts to approach closer to when the match is supposed to happen or the day after the PPV, Brock is pretty much how the weather is nowadays,
You never know what you’re going to get with the weather and you never know when Brock is going to show up on Raw unless it’s advertised. That being said let’s view Seth Rollins, we all know that he won this year’s Royal Rumble outlasting 30 other competitor and that he chose Brock Lesnar of all people to face when he could’ve went for Daniel Bryan, but he chose the toughest route thus this match would be born……….
Seth has improved tremendously as an in ring competitor, he’s always been really good on the mic, he’s had his fair share of moments where you didn’t know how to feel about him, but then later won us over with just being Seth Freaking Rollins and now we will watch as he tries to slay the beast once and for all, his determination to dethrone the beast incarnate from ruling over the WWE and bringing terror everywhere he steps………
Is quite the bravery I must say and I wait for the day, that is this Sunday where we will finally see Suplex City burned to the ground and we hear those sweet sweet words BURN IT DOWN as the village chants in happiness and joy as the beast finally becomes the vanquished one.
Prediction:In translation if you guys couldn’t understand what I was going on about, which i’m sure you picked it up, but just in case, no worries i’ll explain it, my prediction is that Seth defeats Lesnar this Sunday, because i’m tired of seeing him as the Universal Champion, especially when we only see the title every once in a blue moon, if you want us to start taking the title seriously, give it to someone who will bring (as the Miz would say) prestigious value to it instead of only getting to see the title every few months, at this point the Universal Championship is like a special guest.
And with that line you should know, that should not be the case, it’s a championship title, not a visit to your nan’s house or a some kind of unannounced family member who decided to drop by on the most awkward day of the week………the one I want to win is pretty obvious at this point.
The New Daniel Bryan Vs Kofi Kingston (WWE Championship)
Now this is the match that everyone wanted, needed and was begging for Daniel Bryan Vs Kofi Freaking Kingston for the WWE Championship!!
It took a whole lot of arm crawls up the hill, a whole lot of obstacles in his way and a whole lot of opponents to face just for Kofi to get this match, even though he had gotten through them all, there was always something that kept trying to keep him from reaching this point…….
11 years Kofi had to fight just to get this opportunity, 11 years Kofi had to watch as others get the WWE Championship, now we know why they call him Mr 24/7 (UpUpDownDown reference)
It’s because no matter how much they tried to keep him from getting the title, no matter the amount of twist and turns, roadblock after roadblock, after roadblock, he never stopped trying, He was a replacement for Mustafa Ali in the Elimination Chamber where we saw him almost capture the title when he and Daniel brought the house down.
He then was given an earned opportunity to face Daniel at Fastlane, which was ripped from him when Vince McMahon replaced him with Kevin Owens, then at the Fastlane PPV, it seemed like he was finally going to be given his shot at the Championship, until Vince again screwed him over by getting his hopes up only to be baited into a handicap match against The Bar……….then he was put into a Gauntlet Match which should’ve been his golden ticket to finally getting an opportunity at WrestleMania……..
Which he earned, but of course was screwed out of it again when he had last minute opponent that was Daniel Bryan, losing that one, mind you he faced 5 opponents prior to Daniel Bryan……….then we got our last opportunity for Kofi to be able to go on to WrestleMania and face off against Daniel Bryan, but it would not be in Kofi’s hands……ohhhh…..noooo
That oppurtuinity would be in the hands of his fellow partners Big E & Xavior Woods (the other halves of the New Day) to compete in a gauntlet match and help Kofi go to WrestleMania after they were considering leaving WWE due to Vince being unfair to them and Kofi as well.
If they were victorious in defeating all of their opponents, Kofi would be heading to WrestleMania, however if they failed, Kofi would no longer be given another opportunity in the WWE…………….it was a hard match, but the New Day pushed through it, they did get put into a table, well Big E did by the Bar, even though they had two more opponents to face off against……
Their next opponents would be non other than their good time rivals that were the Usos, but surprisingly they forfeited the match, because they knew Kofi Kingston deserves to me at WrestleMania and the last opponents would be non other the Daniel Bryan and Rowan who is always with Daniel………..and even though Daniel tried everything to keep the New Day from winning and Kofi from facing him at WrestleMania in the end the New Day won when Rowan got counted out of the match……….
Which gave is our KofiMania dream, a lot of obstacles he had to overcome and he finally was given his chance all thanks to Big E and Xavior woods.
Also it’s pretty ironic that Daniel is the one telling Kofi he’s a B+ player that’s pretty Rich coming from him, considering that, he was Kofi at one point where everyone thought he was a B+ player and didn’t deserve the title, but I mean I guess it makes sense that it would be Daniel saying it, it’s kinda like Triple H Vs Daniel Bryan back in 2014 all over again, only this time Daniel’s Triple H and Kofi is Daniel, it so crazy seeing the tables turn there.
Prediction:Now with that long introduction on Kofi’s journey, you probably think i’m going to want him to win, well let me tell you, that’s not true, i’m going for Daniel to win and retain at Mania……..yep…………
HA!! yeah, no i’m just pulling your chain, it’s a no brainer that i’m going for Kofi to win this, he’s been through so much and has done so much just to get to this point in his career, Kofi deserves this moment, he deserves to be WWE Champion and I feel like he will become WWE Champion!!!
It’s going to be a New Day at KofiMania Babbyyyyyy, let’s go!!
Triple H VS Batista No Holds Barred (If Triple H loses he must retire)
I’m going to be completely honest here………….I don’t really care who wins between Batista Vs Triple H, Batista is just a really huge drama queen, he’s been away from the WWE for a good amount of years, then he randomly shows up and demands Triple H give him a match at WrestleMania.
Which Triple H does, Triple H then gives him a stipulation with the match being No Holds Barred and then we had Batista demand a stipulation last Monday on top of that stipulation, telling him to put his career on the line!?………Alright then, I don’t really feel anything with Batista, I like his theme song, that’s pretty much it, but since he returned I don’t know there’s just something about him that makes me want to tell him to go somewhere.
I’m not bothered on him being in the WWE, he wants Triple H’s career on the line, but what he doesn’t know is that Triple H barely even compete’s anymore, so whether he wins or loses I don’t think it’s going to bother Triple H, but that being said, I do look forward to watching this match, I just don’t care who wins it between the two.
Kurt Angle Vs Baron Corbin (Kurt’s Retirement Match)
So everyone was pretty surprised and not all that happy when Kurt announced that Baron Corbin would be his opponent in his very last match in the WWE, as he would be retiring at WrestleMania. He’s had a long career Kurt, I mean he won a gold medal with a broken freaking neck talk about dedication right there………
It’s crazy to think he returned back in 2017 after being inducted into the Hall Of Fame and then later on became GM and then an in ring competitor again and now he’ll be having his farewell match this Sunday…………
There’s so many moments Kurt Angle brought to us while in the WWE and they will always be something we will look back on, along with all of his greatest match as well, it’ll be sad seeing him retire, but at least we have this Sunday to look forward to……….now when it comes to Baron Corbin, well he’s a different story and I don’t really know how exactly to talk about Corbin so let’s just get into the predictions for this match shall we!?
Predictions:This is a bit hard to choose from because I feel it could go two ways, although it would be real nice seeing Kurt Angle win his farewell match, I don’t know Kurt could possibly pass Corbin the torch here come Sunday leaving Corbin to gloat every single week about it oooor we could have Angle beat Baron and humiliate him…….
While giving us a really good farewell match as well, either way I don’t really mind which way this match goes, but if I had to choose who i’d want to win, I think I would want Kurt to have good send off and win his farewell match, we’ll see what happens!!!
Drew McIntyre Vs Roman Reigns:
As we all know Drew McIntyre has been pretty on top of things lately, we all knew him as one of the 3MB members, he then went away from WWE for sometime and then later returned after a good amount of years, came back and was on NXT and now he’s on the main roster.
He then paired up with Dolph Ziggler for sometime, even winning the Raw tag team championships I believe, then those two split because of Drew and then he temporarily joined forces with Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley, which lead to a feud between them and the Shield, once Roman returned and of course the Shield one because their the Shield, but now Drew’s out trying to ruin peoples careers………….
After Lashley, Corbin and McIntyre’s defeat at Fastlane thanks to Roman, Dean & Seth, the night after Fastlane………Roman was scheduled to face off against Baron Corbin after being away from the ring for 5 months at the time I believe recovering from his fight with Leukemia.
The Shield had just said their final farewell as a stable, with them moving on to go and do other things, Seth preparing for Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania to get the Universal title from him, Dean deciding on where he wanted to go next in his career and Roman wanting to focus on getting back into singles action after being away for so long………
Fast forward Roman is in the ring ready for his match, he waits for Baron Corbin to get into the ring, only to be surprised by an ambush from behind by Drew McIntyre, raining on Roman’s return back as a singles competitor and that’s the reason why we now have this match happening…….well with the request of Drew McIntyre is the reason we’re getting this match.
Predictions:This match could go two ways, either McIntyre defeats Roman, to continue on being this dominate force that he’s been built up to be oooor Roman wins this showing us that it doesn’t matter if you find yourself kicked down or stopped in your tracks along your journey, you can still come back and kick ass………….
This is hard (she says for the 3rd-4th time) Drew has been given this huge momentum since coming to the main roster and I have to be honest he’s been doing one hell of a job with that momentum too, the persona he’s gotten makes him seem a little unstoppable here, that being said……….
Roman he’s been through a lot, after just winning the Universal Championship he had to relinquish the title due to his Leukemia returning and having to take time off to recover and then later returning 2 months ago to tell us he’s in remission, which was the best news for everyone, but not as great as it was for Roman………..
He’s been through one tough rollercoaster ride and now that he’s back in the ring, ready to go, that’s it, once we see an ounce of momentum from him, we know that he’s not going to stop once he’s started.
This match is one of the tough ones to predict, but because I love Roman and because he’s one of my favorites, i’m going with the Big Dog here in this matchup, although Drew’s been on top of his game lately, I can’t go against Roman, plus I look forward to seeing him give McIntyre a taste of his own medicine especially after what he did to him and everything……..
Bobby Lashley Vs Finn Balor (Intercontinental Championship)
I don’t have anything to say as to introduce my predictions on this match, like I did with the other predictions, but I do have one thing that i’d like to say and that is, why did WWE feel the need to express that Finn would be arriving at Mania as the Demon King……..why!? Why not have where Lashley now knows he’s up against the Demon king at WrestleMania!?
They could have had it be a surprise, they could’ve had Lashley so off his game because he wouldn’t have saw this coming, this could’ve been Finn’s secret weapon here………..I just don’t get it, i’ll get back to this in my highlights for Raw & SDL, but for now let’s just get to the prediction……..
Prediction: I want Finn to win and regain the title……that’s it, that’s my prediction, I didn’t think he had a long enough run with title before so, I want him to win this match.
Shane McMahon Vs The Miz (Falls Count Anywhere Match)
Shane McMahon now known as the best in the worrrrld!!! Vs the A-lister and the must see WWE Superstar on tv The Miz………….former SDL Tag Team Champions and now they’re rivals………..no one would’ve saw Miz and Shane teaming coming and when it did it was weird, but also surprisingly nice to see, we didn’t think they’d work well as a team when put together, but hey we sure were proven wrong when seeing them in action together.
I remember saying how they just looked like a very odd pair, but once I saw how well of a team they were, well I still thought they were an odd pairing, (not as much as Gable and Roode of course, because that’s a real odd pair there) but I actually liked seeing Shane and Miz as a tag team, I got more use to seeing them working together than Roode and Gable, still can’t get use to them as a team, but I don’t mind them.
But back to Miz and Shane………who would’ve saw Shane turning on Miz coming after they lost and failed to regain the the titles back from the Usos after losing it to them at Elimination Chamber. I did not see Shane turning coming, if anyone would’ve turned I thought it’d be the Miz, but no it was Shane and that was surprising……..
I mean we all know Shane is capable of being a mean guy…….heel is what I mean, but he also plays the good guy really well too, which is why it was shocking seeing him just brutally attack Miz in his hometown the way he did, it’s like a switch had been turned on randomly and you just watched a completely different person appear in front of you.
I mean you look at Shane and he just doesn’t seem like this guy that would go ambushing people, unless he was provoked then you’re like, watch out for Shane, but randomly ambushing, can’t wrap my head around that, but it happened and that’s why we’re getting this match, demanded by Shane too.
Now let’s go to the Miz, because it was 2 weeks ago where he just wow’d me and i’m sure everyone else who watched his promo addressed to Shane when he talked about having to earn his way to where he is, as well as well as his father’s love. We all know how great Miz is on the mic, they way he delivers his promo’s is undeniably great, he’s just hands down one of the greatest when it comes to mic work and he’s also pretty great in ring too.
Miz knows how to bring the heat wherever he goes, whether he’s a face or a heel and that’s why people love and hate him, but like he said whether you cheer or boo him, you can’t deny his work ethic, because he’s always on the ball with everything that he does and it’s great.
Predictions: I’m going to go for The Miz to win this match, I feel he needs a redemption from last time, I mean he got pinned twice by the Usos and attacked in his hometown, so I think he needs this win, I feel this is going to be one of those tough matches, especially since it’s a falls count anywhere match and with Shane and Miz we know they both know how to perform well when in a match, so I know that it’ll be an interesting one, but I think Miz can win this, we’ll have to wait and see though.
Samoa Joe Vs Rey Mysterio (United States Championship)
I don’t have a lot to say with this match, we all know Samoa Joe became the United States Champion when he won a fatal 4 way on Smackdown Live out beating Andrade Cien Almas, Rey Mysterio and R-Truth who was the champion at the time only he wasn’t the one that got pinned for Joe to get the title and as for Rey he tried getting the title from Joe at Fastlane, but wasn’t quite successful, but was given a rematch for it at WrestleMania.
Now i’ve notice that Rey Mysterio’s son has been tagging along with him and the reason for that is because he’s training to become a wrestlers himself, which is nice that he wants to follow in Rey’s footstep, it’s crazy because I didn’t realize when Rey was being interviewed that the person standing next to him was his son Dominic, he’s grew so much from the last time we saw him in the WWE and that was many, many years ago, crazy!!
Prediction:I don’t know who I want to win here, I think i’m just gonna watch this one and see how this match turns out, I will say this though, I have some weird feeling that Dominic is gonna somehow get involved in this match.
Whenever Rey would be interviewed, he always spoke about Samoa Joe so, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decided to get himself involved sometime during the matchup, plus if he’s training to become a wrestler, you know something’s bound to happen, I could be wrong but i’ll still be keeping my eye’s out for anything trickery to go down or something……….
The Boss ‘n’ Hug Connection (Sasha Banks & Bayley) VS Divas of Doom (Beth Phoenix & Natalya) Vs The IIconics Vs Tamina & Nia Jax (Fatal 4 Way Women’s Tag Team Championships Match)
Well, well, weeeell………a fatal 4 way Women’s tag team championship match, it shouldn’t have had to be a fatal 4 way, but it’s what we’re getting not that i’m complaining………I think Sasha and Bayley have done a pretty nice job at keeping the title, they were the first women to become the Women tag team champion back at Elimination Champber and they’ve had a pretty good reign with it too……….
Nia and Tamina they’ve just been out for revenge to get the title, Natalya and Beth they pretty much were just added to this match after Beth came out of retirement and the IIconics they earned their spot to be in this match after pinning Sasha and Bayley during their match on Smackdown Live 2 weeks ago, in all honesty I think this match should’ve just been team vs team Bayley and Sasha Vs The IIconics considering they were the ones that fairly beat Sasha and Bayley, but a fatal 4 way is fine………
Prediction:This ones a little hard, but i’m either going for Bayley and Sasha to retain or for the IIconics to win the titles, as for Natalya and Beth and Nia Jax and Tamina I don’t know I feel like they should’ve had their own separate match, since they were the ones that had a problem with one another, for them to be added to this match,
I don’t know, plus Nia and Tamina already got a title shot and Beth and Natalya even though they’ve been friends for years for them to just be given a shot at the title after they’ve just gotten back together as a team, I feel they should’ve just went against Nia and Tamina and then went after the titles later, I mean if Beth is going to be wrestling for a while, they could’ve just came back to it afterwards, but we’ll see what happens………
Buddy Murphy Vs Tony Nese (Cruiserweight Championship)
I don’t really have a pick for this match, I stopped watching 205 Live for a good while so I don’t really know what’s happening in the Cruiserweight Division so whoever wins is alright with me!!
I know that Buddy Murphy has been Cruiserweight Champion for a good while so i’m going to guess that he’s having a good title reign, as for Tony Nese I know how good he is because i’ve watched him perform before, but good luck to both Murphy and Nese during this match.
The Andre The Giant Battle Royal and The Women’s Annual Battle Royal:
And last, but not least, when it comes to both the Men and Women’s Battle Royal, there’s a lot of people there so i’m just going to watch to see, but if any of my favorites are in there, i’m gonna go with them to win.
If i’m being honest here, I don’t really get why the women’s have a battle royal when there aren’t really many of them in it, it’s literally like 8 to 10 (well I counted it’s actually 13) in the battle Royal, I mean I get them wanting everyone to be apart of WrestleMania, but still, it’s not going to mean anything they were all just added to one just for the sake of it……..
Whoever wins is going to just say “I won a battle royal at Wrestlemania”
They could’ve had them fight for something like how the men are fighting to be called the Andre The Giant Memorial winner, like I know that’s a different thing and it’s to honor Andre The Giant, but if they are just going to throw the remaining Women’s division into a battle royal without really anything to it, it just make people see it as unimportant and it shouldn’t be like that, but who knows maybe the battle Royal will be good one, but we’ll just have to wait and see on that come, well tomorrow night……..
That’s all of my predictions for Wrestlemania, tomorrow’s PPV is going to be one heck of a show, hopefully most of my predictions here are right, but we’ll see, I look forward to watching what goes down tomorrow, I can’t wait for the Women’s main event, can’t wait for Kofi Vs Bryan and so many other matches it’s gonna be good, hopefully we get a few surprises, but we’ll see.
Confused right!? Well if you don’t know about this movie, don’t worry I didn’t know about it either until I came across it randomly I think last weekend or something, I think I had just finished watching another movie and that had come on, being it was my first time watching it, I wasn’t sure what the movie was going to be like, I remember when it first started though I was confused on what exactly was going on.
The opening to it was just very bizarre, I had my tv muted and with it being muted, the intro to it seemed to just go on forever, every time I glanced up at my tv. Now when the movie did finally start, I wasn’t really paying that much attention to it at first, but then I ended getting curious about it whenever I would stare at my tv, so I unmuted it and started paying attention to it a bit more and I gotta say after watching it………
I thought it turned out to be a very good movie in the end actually, the story and meaning behind it was just very heartfelt i’ll say, it actually got me emotional, shocker I know haha……..I don’t get emotional over anything, who says that I have a soft heart and that I can be a pretty good emotional wreck most of the time, come on pffff stop it, I don’t do that………..crazies.
Back to the post though, Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, sure is some movie, now i’ve never really done a review with movies, almost did, but I ended up never sharing it i’ll be honest here, i’m not going to do a review for this movie, but I do want to talk about one of the main big parts about the movie, but before I get to that, let me just briefly try to sum up the whole premise of it.
The movie is based around different characters you have the main character Mr Magorium who is and i’ll quote what is says in the summary for the movie the store’s 243-year-old proprietor, then you have the second main character who is Molly Mahoney and the two supporting characters by the name of Henry Weston and Eric Applebaum……..
The character however that I want to discuss is Molly………so Mr Magorium is leaving his famous magical toy store and wants to pass it down to Molly who works alongside him as the manager of the store, he passes it down to her without her even knowing about it as well as not even knowing he’s leaving the store all together………now Molly her character……..is a real special kind of character, when I watched this movie I connected pretty well with her, it’s really weird how much I connected to her, but I did.
Molly happens to be this former child piano prodigy who is a little stuck in her life and doesn’t really see herself as much more than just a former piano player. Now Mr Magorium and Molly’s relationship in the movie, is probably to me one of the best, if you happen to watch the movie you’ll understand what I mean when I say that.
In the beginning of the movie, she meets up with him and talks to him about the way she’s feeling, telling him that “she’s stuck” to where he then leads her someplace and he gives her this huge block of wood as a gift…….which she accepts with good heart.
He then tells her “unlikely adventures, require unlikely tools” she asks if they’re going on an adventure, he tells her they’re already on one, then gives her something else to take with her, saying “With faith, love, this block, (the one she holds) and accountant mutant……you may find yourself somewhere you’ve never imagined.”
I gotta say watching that scene again made me laugh and smile because it’s a pretty nice scene between the two, but to kinda sum up everything, this whole movies is pretty based around the store being passed down to Molly and her not really seeing herself as this person that’s capable of running the store the way Magorium has and just not seeing herself as this more than kind of person that he’s sees her as.
Even though he knows that she’s full of wonders, she in herself does not see nor believe it……….however there’s this one part of the movie where she tries to really understand what it is that Magorium sees in her, asking Henry the accountant who doesn’t know how to have fun (a.k.a the just guy)
Molly asks him what it is that he sees when he looks at her, which he just goes on to compliment her and she laughs about it, but asks him if whether he was able to see some kind of sparkle from her, to where he answers confusedly what kind of sparkle she means………where she answers “something reflective of something bigger that’s trying to get out” but then just turns away from the conversation in the end.
It’s a real good scene because it’s like even though she continuously thinks she isn’t this more than kind of person, you see that she does wonder about having that sparkle and wants to be more than what she believes herself to only be…………there’s a few times where she does things that she doesn’t notice because it’s just naturally coming out of her, but she still has a lot of that self doubt that makes her believe that there’s no sparkle……..
Now there’s a part that I don’t want to spoil because I really feel like you guys should check this movie out, because you might enjoy it, so i’m just going to say this, it takes a whole lot of convincing to her, for Molly to really embrace and truly see what it was that Magorium actually saw in her, for her to finally understand that she was more than what she believed herself to be………….now going back to what I said earlier…………
I really connected with Molly and you know this is probably going to sound really cheesy or weird, but do you ever get that thing where, you’re feeling or thinking something and you end up coming across something else that is pretty based off what it was you were just thinking or feeling, as if you were supposed to come across it, you know what I mean!?
Stuff like that, when I came across this movie, I was feeling pretty down and I remember that because, I had just finish speaking with my boyfriend about what I was feeling, I was a little bit of a mess and was just in my head about things and so I decided to watch a movie for some reason to relax for the night and then this movie was just about to come on, mind you I had never seen this movie ever so I didn’t know what exactly it was going to be about, until I actually sat and watched it and when I did it was like “woah”
So i’m guessing, well not guess I feel like that movie was there for me to watch and I know that probably sounds really weird and everything, but I don’t know, they say things aren’t a coincidence right!? Maybe that wasn’t a coincidence, I felt something that day and then this movie happened to be playing, what are the odds of that!?
Originally I wasn’t going to even bother watching it, I was planning on changing it actually, but I don’t know I felt the need to want to check it out and i’m glad that I did, because it was a really great movie and I really did enjoy it, I enjoyed it so much I rated it on my tv.
I really like the meaning behind it and the story telling of it, i’m surprised that I didn’t catch this movie when I was younger, you would think I would see this movie around the time it came out, but hey it came around at some point for me to watch so.
If you’re still confused about the title, well i’ll explain, so I was stressing out, had a bit of a scattered mind the other day, actually it was yesterday (now the other day) but I said this in my latest post that I wrote, that whenever I get overwhelmed I go into an organizing/cleaning mode.
So the other day, I felt the need to organize things and we had these boxes that were in the kitchen for a good amount of time, one was broken and the other hadn’t been used yet. Part of the one that was broken I threw out, but there was another part from it that I well………kept, you might be asking why I kept it and that’s because when I saw it, the first thing I thought about was the block of wood that Mr Magorium gave Molly in the movie.
I remember staring at it for a good while just to kinda give me something else to focus on for a bit to get out of my head and then after a bit I just kinda went back into my brain anyway, but I then later brought the cardboard piece in my room and i’ve been glancing at it every now again since then and it may sound weird, but when I look at it, I smile.
Call me a nerd or weird if you want, that’s fine I don’t mind, but just like the title says, my blank cardboard piece is Molly Mahoney’s block of wood…….
Hey everyone hope you’re doing well and everything……..so I felt the need to talk about this separately, because I was getting very fired up about this topic on my wrestling highlight post, I was highlighting Raw & Smackdown from 2 weeks ago, you’ll probably read that one later after reading this post, depending on which one I want to share first, but let’s just jump into this because I want to share some thoughts with you guys on it……….
Alright so Dean Ambrose, let’s just sit and talk about him for a bit……..so for those who don’t know, which i’m sure is a lot of you……….when I use to tune in to wrestling everyday, one of my all time favorite wrestlers was Dean Ambrose and I when I say fan, I seriously mean fan, he’s still is one of my favorites til this day!! We all have specific people we become drawn to for some unknown reason and for me Dean Ambrose was one of those people.
Now i’m going to try and keep this post from sounding super ranty because I want to make good points with this, i’m not sure if I will do so, but i’m going to try okay………..Some people may say that Dean Ambrose is overrated and isn’t that great, me however, I would differ………I feel Dean is actually very underrated and is still great, he puts over a lot of superstars, without ever complaining………Dean doesn’t care to be the greatest, he just does his own thing and just goes with things and I think that’s one of the reasons why I became so drawn to him……….you see, he has a story Dean Ambrose.
Same with other wrestlers and people, but with Dean his story is very interesting, it’s to the point where he makes you want to look more into it, as well as wanting to get to know the person that he is apart from being known as just a wrestler. We all know Dean keeps everything to himself, he doesn’t boast about things, he prefers to just keep his private life private, which makes you think, maybe we should take a page out of his book at times, you know!?
I could talk about Dean all day if I wanted to, believe me, but i’m just gonna skip over and talk about what I came here to talk about, which is his character development…………I already talked a bit about this in my highlights so i’m going to try not to repeat what I already said, but I don’t know what the heck they are doing when it comes to Dean’s character………
I really don’t, like can anyone tell me what goes on in creatives brain when it comes to Dean Ambrose!? Anyone!? *breath and go* every time I watch Dean’s matches it’s like I get excited because I know Dean is good, I know how great of a performer he is in the ring……….people may say he’s not good, but he is, he just has a unique (in my opinion) fighting style.
Dean is a brawler type, so he goes everywhere when he throws punches and maybe a lot of people don’t like that about him or maybe they just don’t like his character, I don’t know, everyone has different opinions on people………but me, I know how good Dean is, i’ve seen him have really great matches, we’ve all seen him have great matches at some point in his career, it’s every time he faces of against Seth Rollins, it’s every time he puts his heart out there and just goes with things and you see it turn into something you wouldn’t expect.
Dean is someone you have to really look deeply at to know what he’s thinking and what he plans on doing, if you don’t get to know him on a deeper level to what he is as a person and as a wrestler, you’re gonna be confused and you’re not gonna get it……..Dean Ambrose isn’t just a character, that’s him, with Dean what you see, that is what you’re getting and again I said this in my highlights, but it’s frustrating to see one of your favorite not just wrestlers, but person as well, get treated the way they are.
You can feel Dean wants a little more than what he’s been given and I think he deserve it, if they’re not going to help him find a better way to develop his character, why don’t they just let him do it himself and improvise, they let Bray Wyatt do it, why not let Dean do the same!? I’ll be honest here, although I still consider Dean as one of my all time favorite wrestlers, I did also go off him a bit and when that happened I felt really bad………
It felt like I was giving up on him in a way and I don’t want to give up on Dean, because he is a really great talent and I still believe in him and I still see something there as well. It’s just sad because Dean use to be seen as an equal to both Roman & Seth (two other members of the Shield that are also my favorites) but it’s like now he doesn’t even compare to them, like he’s not on their level and that’s not how it should be, he should be seen as “i’m just as good as my brothers are” but it shouldn’t be just as good either………..
I feel Dean is now being overlooked in a sense and it’s just a shame to see, because I don’t know about you guys, but I know that there’s so much more to Dean then quick matches that seem to last for about a minute or 2 and it’s not memorable. Dean’s matches shouldn’t be forgotten, they shouldn’t just be seen as “well that was alright” We should be looking forward to watching his matches, I want to be excited about watching a Dean Ambrose match.
I want that surprise and badass brawler who doesn’t care about what he does and just gives that fight back to whoever he’s facing, give us that heart again from him, gives us that “i’m not going to stop until I get what I want” bring us that fire and fight back in his eyes that he had when he first arrived, GIVE US SOMETHING!!!
I’m not trying to sound ranty, i’m really not, believe me, but when it comes to Dean i’m just really passionate about the way he’s being treated, I want to see the best out of him, I want to see him and say “That’s the Dean Ambrose we know” because I know that he has more to him than what we see only on a weekly or in my case somewhat basis……….
You know what moments I remember from Dean, I remember that guy who when he and Seth had that ladder match at Money In The Bank for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (2015) both him and Seth holding on to the title from the top of the ladder, both come crashing down onto the mat, no one is sure on who got the title……..turned out to be Seth in the end………..the heart he had there in that match, seeing how hurt he was knowing he didn’t get it, like I wanted to cry with Dean when that happened………and let’s not forget the speech he gave afterwards letting us know that, he would be champion no matter what it took!!!
That’s the Dean I want to see again……….I also remember that match he had at Elimination Chamber, against Seth again and the fight he gave Seth in that match, he was out numbered because of J & J security and I think Kane too (can’t remember if Kane was there at the time) I know Roman came to his rescue, but anyway the fight he gave Seth and him thinking he won the match in the end and how happy and excited he was, that made me happy……….and emotional thinking he won that match.
Dean Ambrose Vs Seth Rollins (WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Elimination Chamber 2015)
Everything he had to endure and thinking in that moment he had finally captured the title, that was the best feeling……….but then of course it turned out he didn’t win and my heart broke there and I was super upset………Dean though did not let that stop him, he felt he won and stole Seth title, which was hilarious and flipping awesome too………THAT’S the Dean that I want to see again!!
I want to see the Dean Ambrose who got so furious at Bad News Barrett when he was going after the Intercontinental Championship and was just going on a mad one because he felt that Bad New Barrett, didn’t deserve the IC title. Those are the moments I think about when thinking about how great Dean Ambrose is, that’s the Dean I feel we need back, the fight, the don’t give a crap attitude, things like that.
I realized that every single moment I talked about here when talking about Deans memorable moments, they were all from 2015…………again why!? I still believe in Dean Ambrose and I still feel like there’s still a lot left in him, I just hope that WWE creatives find something for him soon, because I hate watching Dean’s matches knowing that he’s just having matches just to have matches, I would love to see him in some kind of feud, actual feud where there’s a good story to it and to where we get to see Dean…….be Dean.
Dean deserves to have good feuding matches he can get invested in…..now who knows maybe all of what’s happening is going to lead to something good for Dean, I don’t know, I have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes, maybe right now this is what we’re getting and who knows maybe a little bit later, we might just have the best Dean Ambrose transformation before our eyes regarding where they’re going with his character…….
He was meant to be a New Dean Ambrose I know when he returned, but i’m not sure if that’s happened yet, in all honesty I missed a lot of wrestling so it probably happened already and now this is what we got, it always happens like that you miss a good amount and great things happen, you come back to it after a while and you’re seeing great things still happen, but also see room for improvements………I really want there to be a sliver-lining to where we get the best Dean we’ve ever seen (yeah I know that rhymed)
The only thing we can do is just see how his character continues to unfold, at the moment……..I don’t know what to think, sometimes Dean has really enjoyable matches and other times, it’s on the okay or could’ve been better side of town, I want to believe that Dean’s going to be treated better and I really do hope that he does, because he doesn’t deserve these random matches, he deserves matches that have something to them and are going to help his character and not destroy it…………..
Dean Ambrose Wins The Money In The Bank Contract At Money In The Bank 2016
Final Thoughts: Last thing before I sign out from this post, maybe Drew McIntyre will be his next feud, maybe they’ll come up with an interesting story for them, i’m just hoping that if Dean does feud with McIntyre or a different opponent, it doesn’t matter who……..I just want it to be something we not only look forward to, but also something we can get invested in………but for now we’ll just have to wait and see what happens with Dean and hopefully it’s not what everyone keeps speculating about……….I really hope it’s not that because that would be a really great talent wasted if that happens……
Dean Cashes In His Money In The Bank Contract The Same Night Seth Rollins Beat Roman For It and Wins The WWE Championship At Money In The Bank 2016
P.S. I almost forgot Dean won the WWE Championship at Money In The Bank 2016 after he gained the contract successfully to then later cash in on Seth who beat Roman for it in the same night, don’t know why I forgot that, I was happy when Dean got the contract and was happy when he won the title the same day………..wow
