Finally got You Tbe going and Blogging about it

Hi Everyone,
I know I haven't been here for a while as I have been quite busy. I was able to get working on the videos a little bit and got You Tube up. My Promo video clip about me is done:



Of course I put up the previous You Bring It Swing It June 20 2010 video, but I started one for this month on the 29th. You can watch it below and I had originally intended on adding some new footage of the toilet seat being resurrected, but our weather was more rain than anything and the footage I wanted would have been done outside. Although what I had planned would actually go with it "gloomy weather" I had no desire to go out in it and try to shoot some film.




The above is the result of what I did and I don't know why, but there's a few things I did in the video with the output expecting to be different and somehow it ended up like it did which seemed better. Typical for me where I try to do one thing and wind up with something else.

Well, mixing music and effects with video takes time so it might be a while before I add more new videos to You Tube. Meanwhile I'm looking for the older ones I did to get them posted there.

Enjoy all
Happy Victoria Day

Just to back track a little bit

Hi everyone,
I've been busy getting ready for the big show in April and there's the GWN following that. This is where I am back tracking.

It seems like it was only yesterday, but actually it's almost a year ago I did a video for the GWN when they had this You Bring It We Swing It card coming up. It was that day I had no idea I had some footage and photo to put together to create this clip, but to get to the point. I realized I hadn't put it up here and thought it was about time to share.



I have to say I didn't think it would wind up taking over 700 hits on Twitter and became so popular, but ironically enough there were tons of tossed out old toilets throughout the year that I kept seeing wherever I went.

There were crap jokes and other toilet related things too and it seems that everywhere I went I was able to use a flush joke. Then I found this little tidbit (pardon another pun) and put this up for the NEXT You Bring It card.




Well as the story goes it got a lot of attention and here I am finally getting time to mention it.

So here's a few photos and a video about it from last year and I hope you enjoy it.




I think it was a good way to get across that the heels were pretty crappy and the baby faces had the opportunity to flush away their opponents.

Needless to say it was swung:



I have no idea if this year will have something as entertaining as this match, but if so you may need to wait another year before I can update it here.

Enjoy everyone

Springing Forward as usual

Hi everyone,
Still recovering from that hour's loss of sleep are we? Well I always find myself springing forward into everything I have to do because I like to get things done and out of the way. There are some exceptions; one is the show in April that annually gets prepared for. Not just by the promoter Brian Martin, but also by myself.

It's funny how people can just show up at various shows I've seen and not prepare for it at all really, but since I've been in shows and around them all my life it's been a constant preparation for each. This show in April is one of the biggest and a lot goes into it each year that I have to look at Mr. Martin as a super hero to be able to put together something of that magnitude and still get around the show looking every bit as if he's not had a single moment of pressure.

For three days the show runs and there's a schedule to maintain as well as many to be accounted for including the stars of the show. I can't imagine the amount of work, but I do suspect that because it's been running for so many years it's somewhat routine.

There are a few areas that are lacking, but they aren't huge matters and the show does run very smoothly and quite enjoyable.

Well they spring forward into it right after it's finished and start preparing for the next year and I have to say that's one of the things I admire about people running shows like that and everyone involved. They have so much to set up and so many things going on at the Queen Elizabeth Building that the second you get inside and look around you're in awe at how much is there.

Vendors have come and gone as well as various people who've appeared. I have to say the ones that have been a main stay at the show are always a friendly face to see when I get back there. I finish by saying the British Air Paratroopers are a great bunch of guys and along with them are the Bobby's.

Following this show is another GWN Wrestling show which is by far a much smaller production, but one with a lot of heart and it's great to be able to show support and do what I can to help them capture some of that heart and soul. I have no idea what the future holds, but if they ever reach the magnitude of the Isles show I'd like to be around for it. I've been with the Isles show longer than the GWN, but haven't been there from the start like the GWN. Regardless it's wonderful to be a part of the it and catch photos of the talent as each year passes.

Well readers I must get back to work in preparation because when the April weekend hits I won't have time for anything and I have to be completely ready.

Until the next time keep springing forward,
DESIREE

Hey it's finally ready everyone take a look...

Hello Readers, For a while I have been busy working on this video that's finally ready. It's of the GWN from the years 2008-2010 and I have gathered quite a lot of footage to put into it. For the record the video was mostly done in order of the GWN people that have been around continuing to the new people and current wrestlers. I had to add the ladies at the end or nobody would stick around to see the entire video. HA HA Of course it was a lot of fun making the video getting the music and believe me I had a lot of selections to go through, but it was a blast. OK, ok, here it is...

Well I hope everyone enjoys it and remember there's more years ahead for me to get much more footage to create yet another video that will keep the wrestling memories alive. If the upload doesn't work because it's long then this link might work

I thanked the GWN at the very end and I'll do it again now because I believe without them; their great wrestlers and wrestling I wouldn't have a great video to put together or great video and photos to give everyone the pleasure of viewing. So thanks again to everyone.

Holiday greetings

It was a few days before Christmas and I got an idea,
It wasn't that junk you buy from Ikea.
A year's worth of story was my big goal,
But it's been such a year I could be on a roll.
There were wigs, wedgies, cage matches, and wrestling galore,
But thankfully the best; I never saw Jay Moore.
Heads were shaved and rings were broke
Most unfortunately Igor spoke.
There were some new wrestler's and oh what a joy,
The most charismatic and loved was of course Danger Boy.
The photos continued snapping all year long,
Tyrant sticking JQ with the needle was just plain wrong.
Everyone knows needling takes some class
And most hope JQ kicks some...uh carcass.

Okay, so the wrestling was fought tooth and nail,
I'm really pleased nobody came with slop in a pail.
I got some air photos inside the cage,
Fighting for Ethan became the new rage.
A table of weapons was used for a bout,
A lot of wrestlers got knocked out.
There was one referee who nearly got named Rip,
Who also tied his shoe one match so no one would trip.
There was another referee that kicked at a wig,
And the retirement of a wrestler whose name starts with "Big".

Months of wrestling and thousands of photos later,
I wonder who will make the year 2011 greater?
Thanks to all those captured with smiles and a wave,
You made the memories possible to save.
I'll continue this journey without any fear,
But look for me at ringside in the upcoming year.

Seasons greetings to all
Desiree

Seasons Greetings...and wait! What's this?

Hi everyone,
Oh wow I came to write some seasons greetings and saw the last blog. Now I have to change my mind, but first Happy Holidays!

Why the change in subject? Dana White is the answer. The head of UFC you wonder? Well if you read Fighting For Freedom and know about the UFZ...the Underground Fight Zone; you'll get why.

Okay so the UFC is sanctioned here now and Dalton McGeeky (spoiler Macy name from Return Home series that's in progress) had his daughter convince him to allow it.

Wild that currently I am writing about the UFZ once again and there has been talk about which way people are going.

If you read the series; you'll know that underground fighting doesn't have the governments hand in the money pot, so you can pretty much guess what the hype is about. The UFC is all controlled here and you'll be very lucky if you're a fighter they're looking for to be in the UFC event.

The short of it is; many underground good fighters may never see a UFC octagon no matter how hard they fight; it's down to Dana White. Unfortunately they can't make the fame and fortune, but they'll always have the UFZ.

Example being the WWE taking over much of the wrestling leaving independent groups struggling to make money on cards. Fans will still go see these close events to root for the home town hero. You can't have it all. The promoter that knows how to put on a show, sanctioned or unsanctioned knows how to keep fighting matches alive.

So we can have the UFC here in Ontario and everyone can be happy, but the real fighters are the ones who've already been here doing the matches before the UFC even got here.

Not just the underground fighters, but independent wrestlers who have been dedicating their life to traveling from various towns across Ontario putting on shows for locals to come out and see.

With that said, if someone asked me to photograph a UFC or WWE and a GWN or AWF show was on at the same time I would always choose the latter two because the first two get enough hype and don't need me to help promote them.

Still, happy holidays all!

Macy again.

As promised everyone,

What's up with the Macy Series? Well I'll tell you one certain thing; it will never have a shortage of material and eventually get finished to get online, but with all that's happened I haven't had enough time to work on it. With the holiday season approaching my time is even more limited.

For those patiently waiting, I assure you there's tons more Macy style excitement coming and as you know never a dull moment in the series. Macy is adapting to many different things throughout it all and serving as an example of many people you encounter daily. I think she brings different levels of society down to the same level and once you start to know her you learn from her.

In a way everyday life gets into the series and we get to see Macy deal with it her style which is always entertaining. Maybe sometimes we may not like her hard core manner, but it's our own society that built her that way and you can't help but feel it's justified.

Eventually you'll see her completely as I do in the series as time moves on; when she's legitimately one of the elite and no longer temporary in training you'll start to understand why she was chosen to be there and get her character entirely. Don't be fooled though, because she's still the Macy we know; only adapting to changes.

On a final note about the series; there will always be a person committing a crime or doing something needing justice and therefore the series couldn't end. There's plenty to write about and lot's of issues so it will be written.

Well that again is my time
Desiree
