My Life - August 27, 2025

Hey y'all, what's going on?

I want to follow you up on the cyberbullying incident on Bluesky. I sent an e-mail to the moderation staff and I already sent them the same screenshots I sent to the other e-mail address which I get no answer acting like they wanna sweep it under the rug. Here's a transcript of the e-mail I sent to the moderation staff.

And as I said before, social media platforms doesn't care about the problems and its users, these platforms care about the money and themselves to enrich themselves for financial gain. If you're against cyberbullying on social media, it's time to rise up and speak out about it.

Killer of Popular Singer Convicted - October 1995

The killer of Selena, the popular Mexican-American singer who had been shot to death in Corpus Christi, TX, in March, was convicted of murder in Houston, October 23. Selena Quintanilla Perez, who performed a music style called Tejano, had been thought to be at the point of stardom. On the day of her death she met at a motel with Yolanda Saldivar, founder of her fan club, who had been dismissed after alledgedly embezzling $30,000 from a boutique owned by Selena's family. Saldivar shot Selena fatally, and later contended that her gun had gone off by accident. The Houston jury, October 26, sentenced Saldivar to life in prison.

Programs to Be Rated for Sex, Violence - February 1996

Pres. Bill Clinton, February 8, asked television network and cable executives to come to the White House to work out a means of rating television programs that had a violent or sexual content. At the meeting with the president, February 29, the heads of 4 major networks and the leading cable companies agreed to take steps to implement use of the so-called v-chip (for "violence") that parents could install in their sets. The chip, which was mandated in the telecommunications law just passed by Congress, would "read" a program's rating, and television owners would have the option of blocking out programs with certain ratings.

My Life - July 17, 2025

Hey y'all, what's going on?

It's been awhile since my last entry, but I want to take a few minutes of your time to talk to you about what has happened to me. The internet has became a very powerful tool for all ages since 1994 where they can learn about certain things, play online games, etc., but the internet can lead to many problems, including cyberbullying on social media platforms. I'm writing this entry to explain to you the best I can about me being the only target of cyberbullying on Bluesky.

On Monday, July 14th, two days after AEW's All In pay-per-view, I found an article about the bad conditions and problems of what happened at the annual AEW Starrcast convention in Texas. After reading the entire article, I posted the article on my Bluesky profile saying that AEW needs to do better. After that article was posted by me, I get this... (NSFW language)

These screenshots I took on the morning of July 14th, they called me names, insulted me, mocked me, and cyberbullied me. After I got about a dozen of these posts in the notifications, I wasted no time reporting, blocking and muting these users for those reasons. About 2 hours since being cyberbullied, I not only had to close my Bluesky account after 1 year being a user of this platform, but ended my time on social media after 19 years being on 5 different platforms. I'm gonna go on record in saying that history has repeated itself and it goes back 5 years on Twitter on the night of Wednesday, September 29th, 2020 where the "wrestling fans" insulted me, mocked me, calling me names and cyberbullying me for having the courage to speak up and disagree when a wrestling product goes wrong.

Because of this from the screenshots I took this week after what the "wrestling fans" in the toxic internet wrestling community aka the IWC, my mental health has hit rock bottom. I went to other sites to talk about the cyberbullying incident with others and they were shocked that I've been cyberbullied.

As of this writing, it has been three days since I left the toxic world of social media behind, and like I said, my mental health has hit rock bottom because of it. I'm also distancing myself from the wrestling channels on YouTube by unsubscribing them, and remove any playlists I had in the last 6 years.

Irish Voters End Ban on Divorce - November 1995

By a narrow margin, November 24, voters in Ireland ended the country's constitutional ban on divorce. The margin in the referendum was just 50.3% to 49.7%---only about 9,100 votes out of 1.6M cast. The issue had been intensely debated for years in the largely Roman Catholic country. The government of Prime Min. John Bruton had called for an end to the divorce ban, while the Church had urged its retention. Under Irish law, a couple could now obtain a divorce after living apart for 4 years and showing that there was no chance for a reconciliation.

1:30a - Speakeasy (1 hour)

Wizard of Odds, the first show Alex Trebek hosted on American soil after a successful career in his home country of Canada, ends its 1-year run. The highlights of the finale were three clue rounds were played along with the mid-show rounds where prizes waiting to be won if they're below the target number of 25. In the final round of play, clues in that game paid tribute to The Huntley-Brinkley Report that ran from October 29, 1956 to July 31, 1970 and it also been three months since Chet Huntley passed away on March 20th at age 62. To find out who's going to the last grand prize finale round of the series, all the players who took part in the show had their respective names on the wheel by way of defeating the current "Wizard's Champ" unless the champion stays on dethroning the players chosen from the audience gets to play the finale round by default.

The Wizard's wheel of fortune was spun for the last time, and a contestant named Dick gets to play for prizes worth $4,891 by trying to keep the target number below 55 picking out the four out of the possible seven listed. He won the washer/dryer, trip to Hawaii and the car by choosing a female horse becomes a filly at 4 years, Ginger Rogers won an Oscar for best actress, then he chose the number of movies made by the Andrews Sisters which is 22 and it's been 25 years since Rev. Billy Graham held his first ever tent revival. The others he didn't choose were the 100th running of the Kentucky Derby, the then-46-year-old famed hairstylist Vidal Sassoon, the maker of hairstyling products that bears his name, and 36 calories in a single pat of butter. He won over $5,000 in prizes after winning just one prize in the mid-show bonus game in the beginning.

Alex Trebek reminded viewers that High Rollers making its on-camera debut Monday, July 1st where contestants win prizes, cash, and trips with a roll of the dice along with a chance to play the Big Numbers round for $10,000 cash. High Rollers takes over Wizard of Odds' 10a time slot followed by Hollywood Squares.

Three on a Match, a show where players try to make matches to win prizes with a single match, earns its 3-year reward. Since there was no more time to keep playing since about 1 or 2 players came awfully close to making an instant match in the hands of the stop card being revealed, players will earn $100 for each match made where Adrienne gets $200, returning champion Eric and Carl each get $100. Not only Three on a Match ending its run, but Jeopardy! seen at its new 12:30 time slot Monday, July 1st. Also, Winning Streak will also be hosted by Bill Cullen making its on-camera debut where players can keep on doubling their money with every single word and the right letters can win them cash prizes up to $100,000. Winning Streak takes over Jeopardy! 9:30a morning time slot hereafter.

The daytime version of Let's Make a Deal called the last traders to make a deal with Monty Hall on whether they can keep or trade the bankroll, the wallet, or the Velveeta process cheese spread for something greater, the two ladies fought it out to win a 1976 Chevrolet Monza worth $4,624 in the final pricing deal where the goal is to reach $700 to win it. The show's usual format was slightly amended, because the final Big Deal of the daytime series had to be played earlier than usual, because an announcement has to be made. Door #2 had the $4,649 big deal included the $25 supply of Sue Bee Honey and the same '76 Chevy Monza was won earlier. The first player won some paneling, washer/dryer and the floor model TV with stereo totalling $2,054 and the other chosen the $25 supply of ice cream bars where there's an additional $2,444 cash comes to a total of $2,469.

Monty Hall's announcement was the daytime edition of Let's Make a Deal is ending its successful 13-year run as the top-rated show on both NBC and ABC all together after some 3,784 uninterrupted shows on both networks despite some pre-emptions and special news bulletins. He said that the nighttime version continues where the show will be in Las Vegas until the syndicated finale on Saturday, May 28, 1977. He also said that he'll be doing specials, including one would be airing Saturday, August 7th. Since the traditional end-of-show fast deals on the trading floor ended the day before, they decided to show a clip of the Let's Make a Deal pilot from April of 1963 where it resurfaced and aired it full on Game Show Network in celebration of its 40th anniversary in 2003. That being said, the end-of-show deals for the finale did not take place. The following Monday, July 12th, Hot Seat with Jim Peck takes over the 11a time slot hereafter.

Rhyme and Reason ends its run after one year and it ended on a high note where Brian Biro (sic) became the last champion and won a total of $5,500 thanks to Terry Carter who had to guess all three words that rhymed with the word "Gipper" by completing the rhyming phrase. His opponent, June Penrod left with $4,250 after 3 matches. In the first 23 years ABC became a network, something so bizarre that has NEVER been done on any television show and that was to destroy the entire Rhyme and Reason set. At the tail end of Bob Eubanks' farewell speech, the celebrity poets and members of the show's staff began knocking down the host's podium, then they busted the neon lights, tearing up the carpet, and destroying the props as the credits rolled. The following Monday, July 12th, a new but popular Goodson-Todman game Family Feud with regular Match Game panelist Richard Dawson takes over Rhyme and Reason's time slot.

Braves Win Their First World Series - October 1995
