WTF Mate?

Ready. Set. Go! … Run You Bastard!

It’s times like these where I feel like a total lazy ass. I was digging around in my closet/attic when I came across by big ‘ol bag of stuff I did way back when.

I pulled out some belts from my old martial arts/TKD classes, along with tons of medals and trophies from past tournaments. Oh god, I can feel it in my gut. The horrible aching feeling after a long working in class, the even worse feeling the morning after The amazing adrenaline rush when sparring, and the feeling of satisfaction when winning a first place trophy. The truth is: I miss doing all of this. I miss working my ass off almost every night. When I was in TKD I thought it was OK, it was the only extra-curricular thing I was doing, I wasn’t forced to go, but I had fun, so it was alright. But now I realize how much I miss it all. I want to go back. Once I move to Ohio I’m going to find a class and start up again, and then I’ll feel proud of myself ^_^ I want to do this again and I’m going to get myself fit again in order to do so. I’ve been pretty lazy this past year-and-a-half.

But yeah, I miss it all, the tournaments especially. Back in Colorado we had tournaments in this big gym with hundred and hundreds and hundreds of people there, watching and participating. It was amazing and overwhelming. And fun ^_^

Lets see if I can get myself back into shape before I start classes again, I’m hoping I will be able to catch the Spring semester.

Oh, and if you couldn’t already tell, those things wrapped in plastic/brown are my trophies. I didn’t bother to unwrap them for the photo because I’m packing everything up within the next couple days anyway, so it would be a waste of tape, paper, energy, and time. Cell phone next to them to show how big they are. They aren’t that big. The bigger ones about the height of a PS2 standing up. But they have an amazingly high sentimental value.
