My family is planning a trip to Wrestlemania 40. (2024).

Although it's a long time off and nothing is a guarantee, it's definitely something very exciting I can probably look forward to.

The Monday Night Raw I'm attending is in only a couple weeks too. I'm excited for my first live televised show

<3

I have trouble following competitive chess. I'm aware of many top players, but they play on entirely different wavelengths and I don't quite understand the thought processes. Maybe Magnus is having a bit of burn out.

Not sure if you've heard, but Vince has completely retired and Triple H is now leading creative.

I wasn't online for about 5 days :( Sorry for being slow myself. I wasn't feeling great either, but right now I'm okay.

Thank you for your kind words Taylor. You're such a goddess, it's wonderful folks like you that keep me coming back to this forum.

I was anxious because I didn't have enough to pay my bills. I tried to spend carefully, but my income is just too small to do more than break even with at the end of the month, let alone save. If any emergency strikes then I am sunk. This month it was the cooling system that stopped working. I had it repaired, but am broke now, and had to go without something. Since property taxes, car registration, gas, electricity, food and medicine, can't be avoided I was thinking about disconnecting the phone/internet services, but at the last minute I was luckily able to borrow some money until payday next week. So yes, I think the worst has passed :)

Thank you for asking about me. I think things are getting on the right track. *Knocks woood* I truly appreciate not just your concern but the glorious and inspiring artwork to accompany it. Let me send a little magic and fun back your way beautiful.

Apparently I forgot to reply 😳
Anyway, my relatives are usually on vacation when it's my bday, so I just chilled at home with my cat like usual =3

Been a while since we talked in VM. You doing okay? =3

Also I'm doing a little better today. Tysm for listening to me rant. (´,,•ω•,,)♡

:D a true beauty indeed!!

Hi amiga! I'm good, hope you're feeling better now? hugs

Inkytopians rejoice

hehehe tysm!!

Unsure if I mentioned it, but at the houseshow we attended in December we got to see Edge vs Kevin Owens. It has never happened on TV and was due to covid messing up the scheduled card.

It was so amazing and Edge kicked out 2 pop up powerbombs and a kevin owens stunner. The crowd really bought into it that owens was winning. (I did too).

Sometimes I get so distracted and out of focus that I'll return and forget if I had the black or white pieces. Takes my brain about 5 seconds to readjust. There are grandmasters who walk around with a blindfold and take on between 10 to 30 challengers at the same time.

I'm very, very much looking forward to it. Our seats are actually not going to be far from the ring. Slightly elevated above ring level but close enough that we can clearly see everything. That's also a great analogy and I can understand that completely this will be more for the TV audience.

We did get on the big titantron screen at the house show. There were only 3 of us, and my cousin decided she wanted to snap a photo together. After tagging WWE on Twitter, WWE put our picture on the screen.

My biggest problem is focus. If I'm playing online, I'm constantly scrolling other tabs and not looking at the game. This is time that could be spent analyzing the board. Had times when I came back after a while and overlook a move like a free queen.

I will be going to a live Raw episode on August 15th. Very exciting. Never been to a televised show. Haven't been following WWE much at all recently, but I think it'll still be fun.

Thank you. It was a nice birthday. It was very rainy all day, but thankfully we celebrated the day before.

It's okay! Glad to hear that!!

As a counterpoint, with Chess the simplest move can cause a great deviation. Even when the opening feels the same, each game is bound to turn unique somewhere. Then again, I'm not that high rated and haven't seen much memorized theory.

Often catch myself throwing games with attacking. But it's fun. Even when I'm winning, it's just satisfying risking it and running for an early ending.

I guess for MJF it depends on money. If that's his priority, I'm sure WWE will suffice. Apparently AEW won't give him a raise at all and he's getting the same amount as when he started in 2019.

It's been okay, thanks for asking. My birthday is coming right up on the 23rd of June. I'll be turning 22. Not much of a milestone, but hey neither was 21, because I didn't even have an interest in drinking.

That doesn't sound appealing to me. I only know how to play with standard e4 openings. Fundamentally I have gotten much better. I'm now okay with playing attack chess, as previously I only defended and waited for mistakes.

The PPV was good. The TV shows are so high quality you don't really have to wait for PPV shows for great matches. AEW only hosts 4 PPV's a year anyways. If you want to know what's going on, you can read on.

CM Punk is now AEW World Champion. They have found an absolute future megastar with someone named MJF. AEW has him. WWE wants him.

Here's his recent promo.

Nah, I've just worked on it for months... oops! But regardless, you're more than welcome to come play with us in there~
Congrats for the poetry! I've had to try writing some in high school and it definitely helped me understand how personal, important, complicated and time-consuming it can be ^^; nothing but admiration for you~

Turns out my day (aka Italy Day, it's national holiday here) has been a constant headache due to bad sleep / probably bad air in my room. I'm trying to tell myself to rest and take it easy, let's see how that works out ☺ hope your day is going better than that...

It did, yes! How are you doing?

We do seem to run from one bad thing to another these days, aren't we? :(

I'm all for it. I think I'll let you post first, though. ^^"
