Saturday April 4 2020 - Staying inside...	Blog entry
It's during times like this that we don't realize how much freedom we have and how much we miss it when we no longer have it. Like everybody else, I'm staying inside waiting for the events to unfold and for the current crisis to pass. I should consider myself very lucky because my workplace forces everyone to work from home. Not everyone has this luxury. It also does make me more eager to wrestle once this is over. I do want to travel, meet the wrestlers I've talked for years, but never had a chance to meet.... Or meet again those that I haven't fought for years. But yeah, nobody knows when we will be able to do this again. I used to be a hermit and stayed indoors for months playing video games for hours on end until 3 AM and then realized that online RPG games were just destroying my grades back in university. So, I guess I'm not too bothered by the current state of affairs, I still play games, but in a limited way. I guess nowadays, I spent a bit more time on YouTube or other video sharing sites instead looking for matches that gives me ideas on what holds I can apply (or being subjected to) and what scenarios I could write. This gives me more time to work on the site as well. Most of the blog is up while the personals is lagging a bit behind, because it was important for me to lift myself up before I can lift others. I see people browse and send wrestling messages more often these days. It does add up to the anticipation of being able to meet and wrestle again. I guess this is also a nice opportunity to get to know your wrestlers better. I also see more people turn towards virtual matches, or send more videos and photos, which of course still will never replace the real thing, but they do ease down the tension. Those that would never reply to my messages before would suddenly talk to me all of a sudden. I guess when the world changes or when it gives the impression that it is near the brink of extinction, there is less cherry picking between wrestlers. Hey, I'm not blaming them and I'm not complaining either. Some of us probably wish this was all of a dream... and that you would wake up the next morning and everything is nice and normal. And I'm curious: what happened to Globalfight's personals? In spite of all this, this event while limiting and dividing us physically all apart, it does mentally and emotionally bring us closer in some way. Whether it is from interacting online more often, calling them, thinking about them or wanting to meet when things go back to normal, whether it is wrestlers, friends or family. Anyhow, guys, please stay well and safe. We'll all go through this and we'll probably wrestle more or be willing to travel to wrestle more once all of this is over. We might even train and fight harder because of this.
