Well this week officially sucks (hard drive died)
12 years ago
For those of you who know me one of my very strong passions is writing stories. One of my dreams and life goals was to at some point in life have a book get published. I had just about reached that goal too. That was until two days ago.
If you saw this tweet from two days ago you'll probably guess what happened. https://twitter.com/CrashMcCloud/st.....810624/photo/1
I called Asus and got my computer up and running again. I had to sacrifice everything I had on this computer to get it running again (in other words a hard drive reset). This computer is brand new, I seriously just bought it 2 months ago. I was stupid enough to think I wasn't done moving stuff onto it so I just went on ahead and erased my hard drive.
Know what was on that hard drive yet? MY FUCKING BOOK. I had well over 60,000 words typed out for it and was about ready to finish it.
I truly feel like doing what this guy is doing right about now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO62WcwutFM
For those wondering. The booked was called "The Main Event" and it was (shocker) a wrestling based story.
The story goes as such. Two kids starting college want their dreams of being pro wrestlers. They're constantly wrestling anywhere from their back yards, to the school, to parking lots. One character "Sam (Crash)" gets the go ahead where as his best friend "Kyle (Cobalt)" doesn't get the call for a temp contract. At some point Sam gets hurt and must give up the contract. He gives it to Kyle. There's a problem though. Kyle isn't too well accepted by others in the wrestling organization he joins because of one reason. He's gay.
Being gay is a real problem for some wrestlers in real life and it's cost them their careers at times. Two examples are former WWE United States Champion "Orlando Jordan" and former WCW US Champion "Chris Kenyon" (RIP Chris). Both men were released from the WWF / WWE for their sexual orientations (supposedly, that's what my research tells me anyway). This is where my idea for this book came from. What if somebody was treated like that and actually became a success in the pro wrestling world?
I do plan on trying to re-write the book but it's going to be a VERY long process to remember anything. I don't expect to be done until probably the start of 2014 now.

Also when you do start it up, I'd lovr to get to see it
It's such a heartache. Myself personally i was never able to get the ball rolling again on it and gave it up. I hope Crash will succeed where I have failed.
If you are looking for help in getting ideas. Let me know
