What does freelance writing have to do with professional wrestling? At first glance, it would seem like an odd comparison. The truth is, someone very close to me is working toward a career in professional wrestling, and I have often noted the similarities between his career goals and mine.
We are both working toward a long shot dream, one with no clear path to success and where the meaning of success is in the eye of the beholder, a dream that sees more failures than successes and makes people wonder just what the heck is wrong with you.

New Site in Town:
Everyone dreams. Crossing the boundaries of nations, cultures, age, gender, race, class, and religious affiliation, dreaming is a fundamental human experience -- and yet we know relatively little about it! As dreaming is an experience that is so easy to relate to, a dream archive not only provides entertainment, but also becomes endlessly valuable to the studies of sociology, psychology, linguistics, and anthropology. ButIWasDreaming.com, the brainchild of an enterprising young grad student, is in its infancy, but as it grows will act as a global archive for dreams.
