We did some things today I was pleased to get done, we went to the beach for my nieces school project of “Flat Stanley†and got all the food we will need for Thanksgiving and then came home and rearranged the office. We had the office set up so we could turn half of it into a sitting area, but it never really came out as we liked, so we took over the entire office as an office and it’s like adding an entire wing to the room, much more open and spacey.
We then ate dinner as we caught up on our DVR shows, one of which was Monday Night Raw the show dedicated to Eddie Guerrero which was a really emotional show.
I have not watched wrestling for the most part the last 5 or so years, I still keep up on the news and will always get Wrestlmania every year, but I lost a lot of my passion for it, so its rare I watch it. But this show was reminding me of Owen Hart dieing, which was what made me realize it was either wrestling or my wife, and I choose her, so it was something I have not thought of in years.
WWE played a song that I thought fit perfectly with Eddie, sung by Johnny Cash written by I believe NIN
“Hurt”
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
Classic Cash in this song, perfect in every way, I do not recall if I ever heard NIN sing it, but I would like to, but in the mean time I will be getting “American IV†by Cash so I can listen to this classic.
I just wanted to thank Eddie for doing what he did and with the passion he did it with, there are too few of you left, both in wrestling and in life.
RIP
