Enough with the spoilers already!

We don't need to know everything ahead of time.

Spoilers. I hate em, you hate em and we try to avoid them. Yet some companies can't avoid telling us what their product is going to contain anymore. Movies are half spoiled by the studios that put them out, video game endings get leaked and all that jazz. But the worst offender? Look you know I am gonna talk about wrestling. It's what I do.

The big one that just recently pissed me off is the fact that they spoiled that The Undertaker is going to appear on the 900th episode of Smackdown. This is huge because he hasn't appeared on WWE TV since Wrestlemania this April. But couldn't you appreciate it more if the gong hit to a surprise and you didn't know he was coming out?

The fact is, you can't do surprises anymore in WWE. The advent of social media and the news spoiling everything, making true surprises is really hard now. But the most recent spoiler is just a drop in the bucket. WWE willingly spoils things themselves, revealing the surprise returns and entrants for Raw, Smackdown and the various pay per views. They do it because they have to. They need the ratings and guaranteed draws like Goldberg and the Undertaker and even Brock Lesnar are bound to get numbers and "buts in the seats."

But take a look at the most recent Royal Rumble or Survivor Series 2014; the company worked hard to ensure that AJ Styles and Sting debuts would be a secret, even assigning a security detail to Sting to make sure no one saw him. The reactions they got were enormous and it made it better that the crowd was not expecting it. Just stick with that every once in a while and let us have a surprise.

Also seeing as how election day is tomorrow as I write this #TRUMP2016, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
