Why is Japanese Pro Wrestling so much cooler than US pro wrestling?

is it possible to be a lover without being a fighter?

I had half convinced myself I had no business being a fighter and yet here I go again. I busted out my old gi (the thick one that makes you sweat alot) and tried out a new fight-school. I went back and forth throughout the day whether to go or not. Then when I got home from work and received some bad news, I knew that the only thing that would do me any good was some good old fashioned ass-whoopin.

That's how you know you love something if when you do it nothing else matters. The walls could be crashing in on you and you wouldn't notice. For 2 hours I get to dance in the rain.

Some rhymes I wrote in my head at work:

I roll a C-R-V I dont tip in a lac
and I dont wear a chain 'cause Kermit's got my back.


That's the idea of it. The flow I had in my head earlier sounded a lot better but I cant remember it well. But I just thought it would be funny to be rappin with my plush Kermit the Frog (with velcro hands) hanging on my neck the way I used to walk around when I was a kid.

Reach out and touch faith.


Thanks to my comrade Kozhev for the War of the Worlds toon link.

I've never been much of a dater. In fact a couple of years ago I proudly claimed "I dont date." With my former theory being that you just go around making friends and one-day poof one of those cool friends turns into your girlfriend. Well that happened..kinda. And now while not all hope is lost with this special friend. It will be awhile before we can be together again, if at all. But the problem is I hold my good friends very close to my heart and once this friend became more than she, enveloped me. I would and did do anything for her. And in the end that meant making sure she got out of town safely. It took a long time to heal from this seperation and I'm still healing. So I've been passive/aggresively dating.

..and it appears I'm running the gamut of dating. The "old friend let's go out and feel this dating thing out" date (only worked when I was drunk) - The "I just met you at a bar let's go out" date (not even when I was drunk) - And now coming soon The "hooked-up by a friend blind date" (phone conversation went well, we shall see) She's older than me by 3 years. This is the first older woman I've dated since high school. Well let's be honest only the 4th or 5th woman I've dated period, since high school. But still the last girl I was "with" was 3 years younger than me and that's probably a good reason why we had such a hard time.


Paintball, arrggh!! I love it! Come play with me sometime. It's my landlocked surfing. I like to play here: Outdoor Adventures on Saturday Nights from 7:00p.m. - 3:00a.m.

I got a cameraphone:


I got some great pics of my coworker: "Dirty White-Chocolate Jesus" playing flow-rack frogger 5 stories up in the sky
