Do You Want To Be A Fucking Fighter?

Oh! I have another thing to talk about now. I didn't want to add it with the previous post, "Amusement" Park because it would stretch too long. So recently I have been thinking about my life and what I really want to do with it. I had positive thoughts about becoming a lawyer or doing/getting into film. I realized I'm no bookworm kid and that I was never really engaged with school. Knowing where I stand now I don't know how long it would take for me to get out of Community and into some real college like a State or UC. I figured it would take a long, fucking, time. I'm a slacker and a master procrastinator and it has always gotten to the best of me. So with all this analyzing myself I realized I wan to become a fighter, sorta.

I love MMA and it's probably the only sport I follow. Many people follow the traditional, soccer, football, baseball, etc, but as for me I am a HUGE fight fan. I have seen TONS of UFC fights and I still do now. I liked fighting when I was a kid but guns and stuff usually were cooler so I focused more on that. In elementary, middle, and high school I was never bullied nor have I ever gotten into a fight.

Last semester at City I took Judo. I didn't exactly want to do it but since it was always the one grappling martial art that I wanted to learn I took it. I wasn't the best at it because I weighed at 200lbs, still do, and that the guys my weight were packing more muscle than fat. I struggled a little during sparring sessions. Since I wasn't fully in love with Judo I didn't take the two hour classes at night. I really wanted to do Jujitsu/Brazilian Jujitsu and City offered Jujitsu in the early morning and hour before Judo which was at 9am but being that time and so early I preferred sleep than Jits.

Now in the summer I have free time. I'm also thinking getting at job at Darkside or Gamestop, but if I don't I might do BJJ all summer or just workout again because I'm packing too much weight >.< Another Vince Lim told me that he might go back to his BJJ place that he use to go to and that he told me I should train with him too. Funny, two Vince Lim's in one camp/dojo, haha. The place he goes to offers two week free trial with gi, though I already have one, just like more martial arts places I've seen/or passed by. I hope I get a good experience out of it because not only will I be active again in fitness I'll be learning something that can possible help me with my possible MMA career.

There's a lot that needs to be learned to become an amateur and pro MMA fighter. Cutting weight, maintaining weight, eating right, etc. A lot of that I don't have BUT it doesn't hurt to start, or does it? Well in sophomore year of high school I maintained the weight of 180-185, middleweight! lol but that was all thanks to Silent Drill Team and not eating in the entire day, unhealthy and dangerous, but it worked! haha. Now I'm 200 and thinking about an MMA career.

I don't know what else to say, well I do but I don't know how to structure and organize it. It'll stop now before I stop making any sense. I'll probably come back tonight or in a few days to finish up this post. For now, you get a piece of my mind and I hoped u enjoyed what you read. If not...fuck you =D

PEACE!

"Amusement" Park

So it's been a while since I blogged. There hasn't been much that has gone on that I felt that it was worthy of writing, but today I did something I would never do, go to an amusement park. It all started with The Group talking about going to an amusement park. With a little bit of research we found that California's Great America, formerly known as Paramount's Great America, had a deal from...sometime til the 12th of June? I don't remember -.-. The deal is that tickets are $25 each of four or more are bought at once, and we The Group had 5. So we all agreed to go on even though I am terrified of heights and speed, because SPEED KILLS, ask Anderson Silva, haha.

Before we went today i spent the night over Jackson's. He was kind enough to let me stay over because there was no chance in hell that I would wake up around 6am and meeting at Jackson's by 830am. So last night Jackson and I stayed up til 6 talking about love and relationships because it seems to be my best subject, and also play some COD MW2, man that game is terrible now -.- BC2! I don't think Jax and I had the intentions to stay up til so late even though we knew the next day we had to go to the damn Park. I got nearly no hours of sleep and Jax maybe squeeze 2 hours of rest.

I felt fine and went on a few rides and so did Jax. At the Park I rode 4 rides in total since I chickened out on most of the rides like, Vortex, Felt Deck (formerly known as Top Gun), and uhh few other rides that spun around like crazy.

I rode 3 water rides, one of which we all rode twice and the other was a log water ride and the only coaster I got on and somewhat maned-up was Grizzly. The GF told me that Grizzly would be the easily and it was. It required no fucking loopty loops or twisty things. However the ride was fast and loud. Grizzly being a structure made of wood made a lot of noise and it was pretty uncomfortable to hear. It had 2 big drops which the first one almost made me puke whatever I had in the morning and the second one wasn't so bad. It had a few sharp turns which I did not expect and during the entire ride I did no wave my arms in the air like some 12 year old kid or even look out, I knew if I looked out I probably woulda passed out! shit! haha. So I stared inside the car for the entire ride which last maybe the longest 30 seconds of my life haha.

As we were coming to an end The Group minus Jackson and I wanted to ride a few more rides before we ditched and never came back. Jackson and I decided to go to the arcade and waste money there. I played Initial D v2 which i was COMPLETELY shocked because this is probably the only place i know that has ID v2 haha. It was pretty awesome and it brought back memories of when i first started playing ID. Jackson played Time Crisis 2, yes people, old ass games right? So I joined Jax in the mid of stage 1 and right when I started I already got shot at. The game was fun but the gun had a broken blowback mechanism made the game slightly more bland.

It was coming to the fifth or sixth hour at the theme park and it was time to leave. We were tired, hot, and hungry. As usual we tried to find the closest place to eat and that was at a reasonable price. We all agreed on IHOP and we ate there. Stayed for about an hour or so til we headed back to the City.

Now I'm here, finishing up my post. I'm planning to sleep over Jax's again since tomorrow we're going to Gal's grad. I'm tired but not as beat as the rest of the guys...and girl but I'm done.

Over and OUT!
