WORLD OF RAWR

Last week on Friday, after a few weeks of chatting and planning, I had the delight of meeting this guy. Prior to this meetup for dinner, we had spoken about wrestling and all of the things we enjoy about it. During that convo, I decided that it would be best if we met before wrestling.

Sidebar: I usually prefer this because I like getting to know the people I'm wrestling with and to see if there is potential for being friends in general.

Dinner was a 10-minute drive during which we talked about our lives and jobs and the like. He's a very open person in general and it is a very nice thing. I recommend it. During the meal, we talked about a few things and this is where I point out the details of the things I enjoyed.

1. He was polite and understanding of differences while being clear about his preferences from beer to politics.
2. He had a few things to talk about and regularly took pauses to just listen to my thoughts. I did the same. Oddly enough, this made for amazing conversation. You'd be surprised how often people miss this simple thing.
3. He wasn't afraid to go into topics that were more serious. We needed a 30-minute walk after dinner to talk about even a quarter of what we could have. Why do I write on this blog? Do I have another one? Racism. Religion. Relationships and how wrestling impacts them. We really should have a podcast, PJ.
   1. He actually read some of this blog and asked me about it. Points.

Will I be wrestling this guy? I think so. He's too much fun not to. I'm not sure how that will go yet, but word on the street is that he'll probably beat me up since I'm a harmless, delicate flower.

You'll find out whenever I write it down I guess. :)
