This song won't get off repeat.

Today i woke up and went outside and then I got a phone call from an old, annoying friend that decided to talk my ear off for 4 hours. By then end of that phone call, I was in an odd mood which apparently ended up with me deciding to take up a journal. Don't ask how it happened. I don't even know. Let's just see if I can actually make this work.

My name is Dwayne Johnson, some of you might have heard of me. Not that I have an ego or anything. Former wrestler, now actor and used to play some football back in the day. I grew up in a family of wrestlers and it was only natural that I would follow in those amazing footsteps and do the same. Though my first dream was to play football out of college, but as the story goes, an injury ended that dream. So I fell back on my second love of wrestling and entered the ring. Though it wasn't an easy ride at first. Just because of the family I came from didn't mean that I was going to just be handed a spot. I had to work for it and eventually I made it to the top and didn't come down for a while. I had some good times, even better feuds and made some of the greatest friends that anyone could ask for.

But soon it became not enough. Now I know the stories that went around when I decided to leave wrestling for acting. Oh trust me I know them well. People thought I was selfish, a fool. I had done everything that was possible for me to do in the WWE and it was time to step aside to let others have that spotlight. It wasn't money, it wasn't fame. It was just time. Acting was to be a part time thing but then it became my passion and I wanted to give it everything I had so wrestling became a big book in the series of Dwayne Johnson History. I still love it, I watch it when I can and one day I might return. But I don't know that I will. But I never turned my back on it and I never will.

I've been in several movies, and no not all of them were amazing, just ask my toughest critic. My daughter. She has my attitude and her mother's sense of honesty. She's not scared to tell you the truth at all. but just because some of the movies have failed miserably, doesn't mean I plan to give up what I do. What I love. And I want to go on the record to say Doom wasn't entirely horrible okay? Some parts were but not all. Okay moving on. I really suck at this. I started out doing action but I wanted to kind of get away from the tough guy crap and started doing family movies. We can completely forget about the Tooth Fairy gig. Hey I don't regret taking it, just don't want to talk about it.

My plate remains full though I am finding myself wishing for time off at the moment. So I might actually take a few weeks off to just spend time with daughter and you know just be me. Probably hide away too. personally, I'm divorced. After 10 years of marriage, Dani and I called it quits. No drama really. We just found that our lives were going different directions and were better off as best friends. Which to this day we still are. We talk every day, we go to each other when we have issues or just want to hang out. And we raise our daughter, Simone, together. The way it will always be. Dani has long since met someone new and it took him some time to understand that I would always be in the picture. Not just as Simone's dad but as Dani's friend. he didn't like it at first but once he realized that Dani and I are not ever going to reconcile our marriage, he was okay with it.

I keep myself busy, I don't mind being single. Sure it gets lonely sometimes but it's life. And I'd rather just wait till the time is right which clearly right now it's not. I'm sure I could find a lot more to say but right now, I'm tired and I think I might go walk the beach for a bit.
