Weekly Wrap pt 2

.....I was really in a panic when Vinny and I couldn't get the sewing machine to work on Friday night.  We had my new and improved Sprinkles outfit custom made at a stripper store on Hollywood Blvd.  They claimed they could do such a great job, let me tell you these people are never getting a dollar from me again.  What makes it worse is they do have really cute stuff I could shoot in for shellymartinez.com but I refused to ever give them ANY of my money.  The owner is so rude to me.  You know the type, because I am a female he has to belittle me and such- BARF!!  Long story short, the end product was NOT what we wanted.  There were some pieces to it that were helpful so it wasn't a total bust.  Saturday morning Vinny went to get a new sewing machine and totally kicked butt at sewing!!  Silver lining in all this we now have a sewing machine that totally works and Vinny can totally sew!!  Who knew :)  We were going to arrive at the location at 10am but were set back from having to make a costume-AGAIN.  We got there around 1, ordered some food then got down to business.  It was fun at first but I found myself having some panic attacks :(  I totally forgot to bring a robe so I couldn't go outside and medicate.  By the end of the shoot my energy was low but we almost got everything we needed.  Danielle was suited up in some gnarly outfit :)  I can't wait for all of you to see the finish product!!  When we got home we pigged out on chips!!  Lots of work, lots of set back but we did it!!  We are all set to shoot the next scenes September 1st with the whole effin show RVD!!  Very excited about this. 

Last night we went to Vinny's friends bday party at Barney Beanery!!  If you are unfamiliar check this link out to find out why BB is so freakin awesome :)

Um, I was totally unaware of this but Sunday nights happen to be karaoke night!!  Danielle and I are quite the rock stars while singing karaoke :)  We sang What's Up by 4 Non Blondes together, I sang You Outta Know by Alanis Morissette and Danielle sang Magic Man by Heart :)  My friend Blain came down.  It was so freakin awesome to see him!!  AND my friend @zombiefoto was there too, good times with my little group of friends.  Rusty and Lyndon Johnson were in attendance too :)  I hope to return soon and have some more positive peeps with me.  You can't beat a killer place and as many positive vibes as you can get.  There were def some negative vibes thrown my way last night.  It was all good though.  I said a prayer before entering the place for protection so those negative vibes didn't effect me just annoying LOL  I leave those vibes with this

Weekly Wrap :) pt 1

OMGosh was this week CRRRRRRAAAAAZA!!  So I have been really struggling as of late with keeping myself from getting discouraged.  It was different this time though.  Thank God, literally!!  I've always seek out the truth and am open to knowing my short comings so that I can repair what is damaged to be the best version of me I can be.  Usually when I have one thing after another happen I tend to feel overwhelmed then frustrated which leads to me crying and feeling hopeless :(  I learned that things tend to catch up to me and though it may take a while they def catch up to me when I least expected them to hence the overwhelming and frustrating feelings.  I learned that I needed to make wiser decisions so I would not find myself in the same type of situations over and over again.  I learned a lot about myself during this process and about life in general.  This is an example on why I truly believe God is real and His teachings are def guidelines for our life.  So in saying this here is part 1 of 2 for today :)

Friday I had my Lowrider shoot.  I had really been looking forward to it!!  Been working hard to be in the best shape I could be in, I really want the cover this time :)  Danielle came with me (of course) to take BTS pics and such.  It was a bit of a drive.  Nothing too crazy just not local.  I drove my camero aka Susie Fun Mobile to the shoot.  I kept thinking before leaving that maybe I should borrow Vinny's car since he was working more locally but I LOVE driving that car.  Its my dream car!!  Danielle and I got there about 45 mins early so we thought we would go to this shopping center to see if they had some nail polish.  My nails def needed a touch up so I figured if I couldn't find nail polish I would just get nail polish remover.  So I go to start my car, nothing.  I tried again, nothing.  Then I thought okay this is the farthest I driven it maybe it was just too much for the car.  I drove on the freeway so I figured I would get it jumped and take side streets home.  We walked to the store and found at least the remover.  We came back, went to check in and meet Jorge :)  He is a very cool dude :)  We walked to the studio and he said "hmm that is so weird the make up room is locked but its impossible to lock unless someone is inside."  I really didn't think much of it.  I figured maybe a cleaning person or someone locked it not knowing they are not suppose to.  Then I started to pay closer attention when he just couldn't wrap his head around how this happened.  He said you literally cannot lock it unless you are inside or have the key which only one person had and they didn't lock it.  His face made me a little spooked :) not in a fearful way just in a first my car then this way :)  Well, Danielle and I were early so we opted to go to Starbucks while waiting the photographer and make up artist.  When we came back they got the door open and make up began!!  The shoot was so much fun.  I had never worked with any of these people before so it was quite the relief they were all awesome :)  We had a long shoot but got some killer pics!!  Can't wait to share some of them with all of you.  After the shoot we went to my car and jumping it didn't work.  We put another battery in it only to see smoke!!  So long story short, it looks like I need a new starter.  They gave me a weekend pass to park there so now I am trying  to figure out how to get it towed home with only $50 in my pocket.  The whole time I was experiencing this though I, for the first time, had zero dark thoughts or anything like that.  It was almost the feeling of helping your friend out in a jam.  You know, detached from the situation but still trying to solve the problem.  It was so freeing!! Don't get me wrong, I still need to figure it out but without all that anxiety.  I know God has my back and I learned in the past if I only gave Him my trust I would've saved myself a lot of internal grief.  Vinny had to come pick us up :(  Hopefully I can get the car tomorrow......

Deaths in Wrestling

It is so sad when I find out yet another fellow wrestling has fallen :(  I really felt for Lance Cade's loved ones and close friends this past week.  It's so sad that rarely do you hear about a wrestler passing away after living a long, healthy life.  I feel so blessed that I was able to catch myself before I fell. 

 

I am very familiar with abusing prescription pills and what it can do to you when high and when going through withdraws.  I have learned that the poison of your addiction isn't what the root of the problem is.  It's why you choose that poison and what effect it give you that your seem to crave.  For me, muscle relaxers put me in a zombie mode where I didn't have to feel anything.  I had these dark feelings and didn't understand why.  Now I understand I had suppressed memories that needed to come out but I was choosing to numb myself with muscle relaxers to make that dark feeling at least go away for a bit.  Since I have been away from self medicating I have unlocked those memories which has helped me understand myself and why I am the way I am.  Why I got frustrated over the silliest things or why I would fly off the handle when things or people triggered those dark feelings I wasn't understanding.  NOW I understand why taking medication is most efficient while going to therapy.  I really wish this way of thinking was promoted in wrestling.  It's so sad!!  Especially when you do not realized you are causing harm to not only yourself but others around you.  My prayers are with Lance and his loved ones.  Thank you Lord for always being my rock.  xo Shelly

Back to the Basics pt 2

So I figured I went back to the basics pt 1 by starting training again :) YAY Now, part two.  I am proud to announce that on Friday I will be shooting with Lowrider Magazine!!  Before my wrestling success I had been featured in the magazine many times.  I have yet to grace the cover :( I am going to work soooo hard this week on clean diet and super cardio in hope to FINALLY get the cover :)  Stay tuned!! xo Shelly

Some Sunday Thoughts

Man, I have been really trippin' out the last few days.  I have had this unsettling feeling that I just can't seem to shake.  I did feel myself yesterday while driving back from practice though!!  It felt so good to start over fresh.  Now that my mind, body and soul are in a better place training meant something different to me.  It felt different.  Similar to how I felt when I first started but minus the anxiety :) and it just makes sense.  I have decided to start from scratch now that I understand wrestling in a different way.  I need to make all my moves, big or small, crisp and the only way to make that happen every time is to be in ring shape.  I understand now more than every how going back to the basics will help me so much more when I do more advance moves in the ring.  I thought my ego might get to me and I would feel silly being in a beginner class but not 1% did I feel that way.  In fact, I was eager to correct moves and such I wasn't doing properly.  Then when Danielle and I return home I started to feel that unsettle feeling again.  Today Danielle and I came together not only as sister or friends but spiritually and I figured it out!!  Danielle and I tend to not struggle with certain feelings, emotions, decisions etc but others have a really hard time to understand.  Then it hit me!!  I feel because I have always had God in my life certain "stuff" is just second nature to me.  Some of those things are not second nature to others hence why it could be difficult for others to understand why I may understand something in a different way.  THEN I realized I am being challenged which only leads to growth.  I am a big fan!!  I felt way more positive after our chat and now I feel my day can continue.  I still feel unsettled but just not in that dark way anymore-I know understand.  Just thought I would share!!  Better watch out, I might be prone to blog later today :)

xo Shelly I think its time for some WII bowling!!

RVD Interview, Kinda LOL

RVD Interview

DARN IT!!

So for two days now I have been trying to upload my RVD interview grrrrr.  I think its my computer, I really need a new one.  This one is almost toast!!  I am hoping to soon just switch to lap top.  Then I can take all of you everywhere with me!!  I was so angry a few mins ago.  So frustrated, then God reminded me I need to not revert back to angry Shelly, angry Shelly only leads to feeling dark or thinking dark thoughts.  Thank you God for reminding me!!  My reminder??  Little Star by Madonna, the words remind me of how I feel about Danielle and once that love over came me my computer glitch seemed silly.  Just food for thought!!

xo Shelly

Tues Thoughts

I do not know where the heck the time went today but I am still working hard on getting everything in order.  Danielle and I got planners today!!  When I had one last year it really helped me keep things in order and not miss any details.  I have so learned how important paying attention to EVERY detail is.  I am so ready to move forward and do it right, with the least amount of mistakes :)  I look forward to sharing all the new developments in my career and site with all of you.  I have been known to blab out what is in the works and when some thing didnt pan out I was stuck eating my words :(  Make sure to stay tuned!!
