Jerry lawler's heart attack & more


I was always a fan of Jerry Lawler since i was a kid, as a batman fan his heel kinda reminded me of Burgess Meredith's penguin,& thought he was a lotta fun - i never really got the burger king thing (world wide, popular, everybody's favourite food chain, didn't really sound heel to me), but at the time it was just that, a favourite wrestler, commentator along with Double J Jeff Jarrett
though all of that changed recently, when King had a/the heart attack. I lost my granddad 8 years ago to a heart attack, same thing as Jerry, no pre warning signs, just came out the bathroom one morning & collapsed on the bedroom floor...then gone.
I watched Monday night raw that night & just re-lived that whole conversation i had with my mom over the phone, i checked the global 24hr news but nothing, the only info i could available was online from the states (you'd thought with wwe being global, the British press woulda been as hot as the American press was).
Losing Jerry woulda been like losing a best friend, my life ain't easy, but Jerry makes you wanna trudge along no matter how hard it can be - one day i might get lucky in life, love, money, career.

I've always wanted to be an artist/designer since i left school in 1999, only problem was these things cost money - money i don't have, and being a fan of Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat & the art-rock scene of 80's New York, today (according to what i was told) is dated - like strumming a battered guitar & singing the blues on an old street corner....today there's the x factor/Idol/Got Talent - but one thing about Jerry Lawler, he's never changed ...much (only healthier), which is probably the biggest inspiration i got from him - people come, people go, some like you, some don't, just as long as you're yourself.
