š Thirty-Nine and Still Rising
So here I amā39.
People think Iām turning 21, and Iāll take that as a compliment. But truth is, I remember 21 too well. I was deployed to Iraq that year, in the sandbox, where there was no drinking, no celebratingājust survival. I donāt want to go back there, but Iāll never forget what it taught me.
At 39, my world looks completely different. Iāve been on Dark Star Radio for 11 years, running 8 shows (yes, eight). Lady Desire commands two of them, and sheās also stepping into OVERLOAD, tearing through the wrestling stage with fire and venom. On Sundays at 2PM, I hosted another wrestling show: RISE as My Tieābecause the world doesnāt stop turning, and neither do I.
Next Season My Tie becomes a voice for a wrestler. š¤¼ because I prefer playing a character over hosting the show! I learned that when I stepped up to be Lady Desire. So you have that to look forward to next Tour!
And then thereās Second Life. I thought I was done with it. Walked away. But last year it pulled me back inānot with what I expected. Wrestling was never my thing, but performing? Performing is in my blood. Through Second Life wrestling, I discovered the art of spectacle, the drama, the storytelling. Lady Desire thrives there, and so do I.
And outside the digital stage? Life keeps unfolding. This November 20ā23, Iāll be stepping onto the IRL stage in Huntley as part of The Addams Family Musical. Another chapter, another character, another chance to bring stories to life.
So yeah, 39 isnāt 21. Itās better. Itās bolder. Iāve built a life of music, myth, performance, and fireāand Iām not slowing down.
Hereās to the next year. Hereās to Dark Star Radio. Hereās to Lady Desire. Hereās to the fans, the fighters, the dreamers, and the wild ones who keep showing up.
