It's thursday...

I never write a blog before, I'm a pretty private person but work is real slow and I'm bored. I guess I can start with what brought me here in the first place.

For pretty much my whole life I have been a "floater", I never fit in with any particular group of people and just kind of drifted as it suited me. I've done it all from being grungy, to pretty boy, to asshole and pretty much everything in between. Did the whole college thing graduated and then was pretty much like wtf do I do now. Still working on that part..doin' the grad school thing but I don't know it it's really what I want.

I never really had that many friends, mostly because I always played sports at a really high level and have been traveling for one thing or another since I can remember. I played hockey, wrestled, played rugby, and the last few years I moved onto mma. Fighting isn't like any other sport..I know some people don't agree but I feel it has an artistic beauty. It's just two people locked in a cage to see who the better man is on that given day. Countless hours of training, injuries and all the sacrifice comes down to a single moment. It is really peaceful (at least for me), there is just this blank feeling that comes over you and nothing matters. It's really hard to describe if you have never been in a fight.

What they said in fight club about fighting "turning the volume down" on everyday life is pretty true. I figured maybe I could come here, make some new friends and see what else is out there. If anyone reading this has ever been to Long Island it's a pretty sheltered place, lots of fake people, nice houses and fancy cars. I'm trying to get away from that whole mentality and see what else the world has to offer.

So there it is my first blog.
