...and I don't want to be on the other side of it where it's like I'm a free speech guy. It's like dude, I don't want to be involved in any of this, I just want to do comedy.

I was not famous at all, I was poor, and then I got cancelled immediately.

So yeah, it’s a braggy post, I know, but if you can take anything from my experience, just keep fucking going.

I became one of the top wrestlers outside of WWE in the world, and it all happened because I started giving it my everything. I really wasn’t giving my everything in the top company in the world. I can make all these comments and all these judgements now because I was one of those guys. Being fired was the best thing that ever happened to me. I tell people that the best thing that can ever happen to you is getting fired and you can either sink or swim and I swam like hell. The reason why I swam the way I swam was because there was nothing else for me. All I know is professional wrestling and sports entertainment. This is all I know and I wanted to give it everything that I had.

The best thing to happen to me was for Lorne Michaels to hire me and fire me.

I think the thing I found most surprising about the show was I have a mental health foundation, and I work with kids, and I tell the kids a lot that our worth has to be innate and intrinsic, you know, we can't base our worth outside of us. We can't place our worth on our job title, or our names, or where we're from, or whether we had a successful record or not. And so the show actually in a really interesting way, even though it's such a fun, silly pop show, I feel like allowed me to show so sincerely and authentically who I was, that most essential thing, which to me is my heart. And it wasn't about my name, and it wasn't about my story, or where I was from or my accent or all those things that aren't really you.

I will always miss DotA. Something that will always define me. Unforgettable memories. It's just a game but to me it was something that got me out of bed, and kept me up at night. I set out to become a pro, I succeeded, and then I set out to become the best, and I failed.

U sound like u need a psychologue and not quitting school and being stuck infront of a computer alone all day. Reconsider what makes u happy in life and seek some help.

lol kids and their fantasies.. what makes you think you will make it far?

Dota doesn't have much of a future. At least not one that's worth throwing away yours for.

Although I'm doing decently in this program (low 80 average ish), I've decided that before starting the 2nd half of 2nd year, to go on "leave" and start playing DotA seriously.

You're going to go through rough times. You're going to have a tough time getting started but don't let that make you quit.

and it's not because I'm special or have any special qualities or anything like that. I'm not smarter than anyone else is. I'm not a better programmer than anyone else. I think that really what I can attribute the most to my success is just consistency, it's just brutal consistency, keeping my eye on the ball for what I wanted and just never taking it off.

You can be in one really, really shitty point in your life, and that doesn't mean that you're going to stay there. You can get out of that and you can do things that you never thought you could do.

I started making content for the fun and the pure enjoyment of it. I can confidently say I love it as much today as I did back then, never in my wildest dreams would I think I would be here now doing this 3 years later.

I write one of these every week for my website and OroJackson and I wondered if people might like them here, so I gave it a try. This one is about all the connections I managed to find between the Whole Cake Island Arc and Alice in Wonderland. You can find many more of these here: https://onepiecethenewworld.wordpress.com/

[Celebrity hairdresser] Dean Banowetz did our hair on the show, and he was always trying to get me to dye it. And I never did,

That’s what you have to do, be ahead of your time. Be ahead!

I think you have to see it to be it. Althea Gibson was the first woman of colour to ever win a major. In ’56, she won the French, ’57 and ’58, she won Wimbledon. I got to see her as a 13-year-old and she changed my world because I knew what it looked like to be No 1. She inspired me more than ever.

Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn’t allowed in a photo because I wasn’t wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport.

It gives me a strange kind of confidence sometimes, ‘ Cause, like, like, I…I used to care what everyone thought about me so much. it was all I cared about. All I cared about was what other people thought of me. And I don’t anymore. And I don’t because I can honestly say , what is someone going to do to me that’s worse than what I would do to myself? What, are you gonna cancel John Mulaney? I’ll kill him. I almost did.

It’s weird to be a recovering drug addict. It was weird to be a drug addict, but at least I was on drugs. It’s strange sometimes. You know, like, I’m doing great. But when I’m alone, I’m with the person that tried to kill me.

Even if I did have it [autism], I don't see it as a detriment. I see it as a superpower. All of us autistic kids, we're so much better than regular, normal people. We can lock into shit and do it. To all my autism kids out there, we're top,"

You gotta keep moving forward. If you don’t, you’re just gonna sit in that pit of sadness, and that’s when it creeps in,...Go out, keep walking, keep doing what you’re doing. The moment you sit still, that’s when you’re done.

The most important thing for me is my family, and as long as that’s all good, my demons don’t really creep in anymore,...I've found a real big balance.

I know this term pretty well. I went through that syndrome on my own: it's when you believe your achievements don't belong to you, that it wasn't your efforts to get you somewhere.

I guess not, but I don't care anymore. It doesn't matter me anymore, I'll just try my best and I don't think about it anymore.

Agreed. I don’t think Larl is talked about enough here. He was perhaps the only player to make pango look OP in that second game, keeping top not worth almost the entire game. Come game 3, he is basically the sole reason they were able to make it out of that incredibly oppressive mid game for the collapse SB and yatoro to finally pop off.

Larl is definitely the most improved. For a long time, imo, larl looked like a tier 2 mid at his best and was the main reason they were getting terrible results. Its kind of impressive they stuck together and even managed to make it work.

Larl is an ELECTRIC mid player! Just needs to work on his csing, ganking, farming, stacking, camera usage, attacking, defending, spell casting, vision, decision making, retreating, communicating, pathing, impact, itemising, pushing, having better cosmetics, shot calling, positioning and getting kills.

What happened to ts previous mid laner and why did they pick up larl. He is out classed by everyone in the major. He has won less than 15% of his lanes and is consistantly the lowest net worth core in the game. Its so depressing to watch yataro and collapse trying to carry his dead weight every game.

The only thing at which Clay can beat Liston is reading the dictionary

I won't lie, I was scared ... It frightened me, just knowing how hard he hit. But I didn't have no choice but to go out and fight.

This challenge is one I don't take lightly. When I got into this business, it seemed unlikely a woman would lead a Major League team, but I am dogged in the pursuit of my goals. My goal is now to bring Championship baseball to Miami. I am both humbled and eager to continue building the winning culture our fans expect and deserve.

After our AM died after buyback everyone thought "yeah, that's it" but when we killed monkey after swap + tidal wave into fountain everyone was screaming lol

You're not a video game, The transition is hard, and you're a person too. You're not valued by just your performance. That's such a transactional way to look at life. We want to win, we want our players to perform at their highest, but they're more than who they are between the white lines.

Random chirps from parents or players in the stands or things that I've been told that people have said about me,...It just bounces off of me -- which is not an invitation for anyone to test.

When I was little, I didn't know there were other girls playing baseball,...Inspiring girls is my biggest motivator.

Just because somebody has access to a keyboard or a social media account doesn't mean that they're somebody you should listen to.

It was a huge gamble. The biggest gamble I've ever been involved with. It was a roll of the dice. Would fans watch in an arena and pay a lot of money to do it? ... At the end of the night, we had been partying quite heavily. If WrestleMania I had not succeeded, we wouldn't be where we are today.

My teachers thought I was stupid,...So did I.

I didn't play sports,...I couldn't read or write. I was a brat, always in trouble.

I hope that if my life and our family can do anything for other people, it can help them believe in miracles,...I was a nobody from nowhere. And now I get to stand at the artist entrance of the Grand Ole Opry. It’s just wild.

What I eventually realized, after this long and very painful journey, is that longevity is meaningless if your life sucks. Or if your relationships suck. None of it matters if your wife hates you. None of it matters if you are a shitty father, or if you are consumed by anger or addiction. Your resume doesn't really matter, either, when it comes time for your eulogy. All these need to be addressed if your life is to be worth prolonging--because the most important ingredient in the whole longevity equation is the why. Why do we want to live longer? For what? For whom?

If you take nothing else from my story, take this: If I can change, you can change. All of this has to begin with the simple belief that real change is possible. That's the most important step. I believed I was the most horrible, incorrigible, miserable son of a bitch that was ever shat into civilization. For as long as I could remember, I believed that I was defective and that my flaws were hard-wired. Unchangeable. Only when I at least entertained the notion that maybe I was not actually a monster was I able to start chipping away at the narrative that had nearly destroyed my life and everyone in my wake. This is the key step. You have to believe you can change--and that you deserve better.

If I were to offer advice to others in a similar situation, it is that you really have to listen to yourself. You really have to take the time to check in with yourself and ask yourself the questions, you know, demand that of yourself, like, know what you want, or if you don’t know what you want, know what you want to try,...I think if what’s happened to me can be an inspiring story for anything, it’s this – you really can accomplish anything, but you need to give yourself permission to go for it.

The gym became my best friend. You’re able to go to the gym to sweat out toxins and get a little bit more clarity when you walk out the door, It doesn’t fix the problem, but it helps.

Asking for help is not a weakness, As a matter of fact, asking for help is our superpower, and men, especially us, we fall into this trap of being really averse to vulnerability, because we always want to be strong and feel like we can take on the world.

That was my low because I'm at home, I have no money and I'm thinking my wrestling career is just like my football career. It's all just gonna end before it actually begins. I'm thinking Jesus Christ like do I go to law school because I wanted to work for the CIA. Well, I can't afford law school, and my study habits were the s--ts. Do I even consider UFC? I went well, I prefer not to get punched in the face. Do I go to Japan to wrestle in Japan? I don't know even if I could do that. I'd need a fresh start.

I fixate on things, That's sort of the engine of anxiety. I lay awake at night, wrapping and unwrapping every possible scenario. I slept at a perfect right angle for so many years.
