Well, another birthday has come and gone. Nothing as eventful as the clouds parting and the hand of god giving me a high five or smiting people with thunderbolts, but it was an overally enjoyable one. I drudged through work ( I guess you could say that was the low point of the day, but then again, work is the low point of every day. I went to kickboxing as usual- I figured I should get a good workout if I was going to be taking in ample amounts of empty alcoholic calories over the weekend. I was getting ready to do a bit of pre-class bag work, and the head coach approached me, and said that even though the competitive team trials aren't for a couple months, and even though he hates having hunches about people because he's been let down by them before, he has a good hunch about me- and that there was a MMA (ultimate fighting for those not in the sport who have know idea what mma means)fight opportunity in the beginning of august for me if I was interested. I leapt at it and asked whatever I needed to do, I'd get done. So now I have a huge goal ahead of me, and something to definitively drive me to push harder than ever.
The going out drinking aspect of the night somewhat paled in comparison, a little bummed because there were bars I prefer to go to that I couldn't because my friends ID wouldnt be accepted there- we made do, and really getting wobbly is getting wobbly, regardless of venue. Saturday held a bit of hanging out with some other people and my brother, who I haven't had a chance to really go out drinking with for a couple years- so that was definitely a plus and a bit. Other than that, things have been sort of the same day to day minutia, just counting down to the Canada Day festivities in Calgary.
