freak..?

I accidentally watched this video of Ray in WWE. I didn't know he is a fan of it! xD
Oh, Ray..I love you for this.

It actually made me remember my childhood...I think I spent half of it growing up with my grandparents. My grandfather--or Pa as we would call him was a huge fan of wrestling. I remember sitting on the arm of his big antique chair in front of the television set watching WWE. I remember the familiar smell of Pa's clothes and the wood-y scent of the chair. He would cheer at the screen as if the wrestlers could hear him coaching and I would laugh and join him. Every night, that was what we did. It became our bonding time, me and Pa..and also my little brother which I doubt don't have any memory of it now. At times, he would make fun of the wrestlers or sometimes say something really cool--words of wisdom, I guess?
There's this one haunting me right now: "If ever you watched WWE fourteen years from now, you would just laugh at the silly old antics they do...but don't forget how you felt amazed when you watched this when you're a kid. As a child, you are pure and innocent. That is a gift that you need not to perish for it's something that'll make you appreciate more of everything. It'll be a much better place if everyone wouldn't lose the child in them..." That's what I remembered or at least part of it..because I believe he said it in a more elegant and poetic way.
I don't watch WWE anymore...not because I lost interest or something..I just lost Pa's presence, that's all. I terribly miss him.

Meh..anyway, this is supposed to be just a random fangirl moment of Ray's appearance in WWE, I didn't mean to end up being a sentimental freak so I apologize for it. x]

Enjoy the vid, I spilled my orange juice because of laughing at Ray's excitement over Rey. (woah, the names)
