Ayo Technology!

I was asked to "blog". To "blog" is not something anyone would have asked me 10 years ago, about the same span of time since I've wrestled my last match. But, the blog and the tweet and the facebook poke, etc. are things that have come about from our technologically dominated lives....mainly the internet. Which, to me, is one of the greatest inventions in history b/c it makes communicating and getting information a zillion times easier than ever.
