It Liiiiiiiives~!

Honestly, it is hard to know where to start with serious necromancy like this. I never intended to let my blog dissapear into near oblivion, but I was hit with a series of weird life changes which I couldn't quite stay on top of when they were happening and I just didnt know how to manage my time effectively (admitedly still an area of life I struggle with).

I once promised a review of Bret Hart's autobiography but, well, considering how long ago it is that I read it I feel any serious review would be impossible. It wouldn't do justice to the book to review it without reading it over again, so I wont even try. I'll just say this: It is a phenomenal read that really gives you some impressive insight into the world of pro-wrestling from the beginning of a career to the end of it. If you like pro-wrestling at all you owe yourself this read.

I have some serious plans for this blog, something to stay on-top of on a twice or thrice weekly basis, but some of the things I need to figure out how to do are, well, eluding me. If anyone knows how to make blogger let me post more than one picture per blog update it'd be swell if you would let me know about it.

So, for now, stay fit and have fun (I wonder how many of you will get that reference?) and I'll see you soon.

"Hitman"

I am, without a doubt and as you all will quickly learn, a huge fan of Professional Wrestling. I grew up not really being allowed to watch it and, somehow, I always managed to sneak it into my weekend viewing schedule (WWF Metal, as I recall it being called, aired stupid early on Saturdays, before my Mum was awake to overview my watching habits). As a Canadian I grew up loving and idolizing those few Canadians who made it big and acknowledged they were from here. Bret "The Hitman" Hart was always one of those.

I was crushed by the Montreal Screwjob, cried like mad over Owen Hart's death and jumped with joy when I found a copy of Bret's autobiography on sale for 10$, tax in. Soon enough I will be writing a proper review of his book, but as of yet I have not finished it (almost there, mind you).

Today, however, I wanted to share something that was inspired by Bret Hart.
This is a poem I wrote about him:


"Hitman"
by James Snelgrove

Pink and Black
Colours of a Hart attack
Locked on his target
A Sharpshooter you won't forget
The best there is
The best there was
The best there ever will be

(Unfortunately, Blogger decided it wants to murder the formating of my poem. So, please, check it out on my DevArt page here: "Hitman" Link)

The drawing of Bret I included here was done by my good friend Brett Vinduska, and coloured by someone he knows on the lovely website DeviantArt (Boy, how I love DevArt!).

I hope you all "tune in" to catch my review of Bret Hart's book, Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling.
