FIGHT

I moved into a new place a couple days ago. It's a two-bedroom I'm sharing with my buddy Lenny, and we're getting it for practically the same price as the 1-room gym bungalos, so the price is right. It's also quite nice, with plenty of space and even a little front porch with acool stone table. We bought a 3-foot fish tank and a couple of cool fish, plus a whole bunch of guppies and goldfish for the cool ones to eat One of them is a Flower Horn named Sekhmet the Destroyer, and the other's a Golden Snakehead named Triton. The flower Horn is seriously aggressive and seems pretty intelligent, plus it's pretty cool to see him chase and eat the smaller fish. Pets!

On the girl front, the girl I mentioned breaking up with in the last post for some reason DIDN'T LEAVE, and the place I just moved into is right across the street from her friend who she's staying with, so that's awkward. I do my best not to look in her direction when I know she's around. Sigh. I think she may be just gone today though *fingers crossed*. No more girls for me for a few weeks, but Lenny's been seeing this girl from the camp named May. She's too young for me, but I still think she's pretty cool and we get along well. Possibly the best 'roommates girlfriend' ever - it's actually a plus that she's too young for me, because that way I can get on well with her and not have to worry about if I should make a move on her and be a douchebag to my buddy and omfg that business is such a pain in the ass anyways. Apparently she's got some older friends who are pretty cool that she'll introduce me to when I feel like dating again.

As for training, I've discovered that I love Jiu Jitsu ridiculously lots and that I'm only really into Muay Thai for the good cardio and the fact that it balances my fighting skills. I've been attending the morning MMA classes all week (it's all BJJ in the mornings - the B stands for Brazilian btw) and I've decided I'm getting fit enough to train twice a day, so I went to the Muay Thai class in the afternoon. When I arrived, my trainer took me from the beginner's ring to the intermediate. Advancement! Intermediate is good for the fact that they correct my technique a lot more than in beginner, but I actually find the cardio more challenging in beginner. I think the idea is: get'em in shape in beginner, then teach'em how to actually fight in intermediate. I'm proud to be moved up, anyways =] I've also started doing private lessons in BJJ, which have proven immediately useful - she taught me a bunch of sweeps, 2 of which I used today while rolling, and how to position my arms while in someone's guard, which I used idunno how often but it saved me a lot of trouble. I WILL BE TEH GREATEST ROLLA EVER.

I always do this section last and I don't feel like typing anymore =p
I cashed out my first $1500 bonus the other day, and I've been getting into a routine that includes poker time, so the next shouldn't be too far off. Been running pretty average, just above 2ptbb, which would be more except for a few spew calls with medium hands into aggressive superfish who hit their flops. Whaaaaatever. I think I made the right decisions in the long run... maybe. It's hard to say =]
