My name is Al Stover and I am the Eagle Life Editor for the Easterner newspaper. I am a journalism major who has interviewed characters like cage fighters, drag queens and paranormal investigators.My dream is to work at a major magazine or newspaper and to become a best selling author.
This page focuses on several different kinds of combat sports such as boxing, mixed martial arts, kick boxing and others. I’m also a huge comic book fan and post comic related things from time to time as well as Supernatural or other things that I come across. Also I like to put up quotes whether they are inspirational or just plain funny.
I am a fan of MMA, boxing, kick boxing, and even pro wrestling. I write and post about anything that involves combat and fighters, including comic book superheroes and villians, because those guys and gals are fighters in their own right.
I also post quotes and other stuff.
