This video is from way back in the day when Adam Stout was having his bachelor party. We were supposed to go Go-Kart racing, but the facility was closed, while we sat around trying to figure out somethin to do, I remembered I had to sets of sparing equipment, and we decided that we were gonna have an in-prompt-to boxing match. We placed cars opposite of each other for light and made a ring, and boxed it up. The Go-Kart place ended up calling the cops on us, and when the police arrived, they were humored as to what we were doing. This video is of Greg and I fighting before the cops showed. I do believe Greg got in alot more shots than I did, and he was going a lot for the body, but I was expecting to go three rounds. By the time the first round finished, Greg had worked up his asthma... haha whoops. It was a lot of fun though... He's a quick striker. Me? Not so much..

seriously hilarious. i died laughing.

people

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbour, co-worker, longest friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints in our hearts,
and We are never, ever the same.

And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realised your potential, strength, willpower, or heart. Everything happens for a reason, nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience help to create who you become.

Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

Make every day count!! Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself; it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. -- http://www.allatsea.co.za/froglunch/people.htm

Tulips


Flowers have accidentally become the theme for this week. I sent flowers. I received flowers. How fun! I don't really have much to say other than my new project is take a picture of my tulips everyday as they grow and then put it up on my blog. By the end, I'll probably post a blog that goes through whole growth of these little ladies, and then probably gift them to someone. How fun. :)

Ides of march

Nothing to blog in the ides of march? Tis not so.

Ok, I use the term "ides" incorrectly, it actually refers to the 15th of march. But it's march none the less, and I have not blogged. I wrote a blog on the fourth. It's in draft. I don't feel like publishing it at this point.

On the subject of the ides of March, for anyone that cares, it was simply a day, but the term was made more famous in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar when the soothsayer says to Julius, "Beware the Ides of March". Whatever.

Things are up. Things are down. Life is but an ocean sometimes, and the torrential down poor and swells that the ocean bring are so often feared. We fear for the rogue waves that will smack across the face, sometimes they never come but we brace for if they do. I dunno. Maybe I got smacked by an emotional rogue wave. You can never be too sure.

When people talk about hitting rock bottom, I don't really think you can say with certainty that you're at rock bottom. Everyone's is different I would say. My rock bottom is certainly not the rock bottom of a heavy drug user. I've never gone that far. I don't want to even guess of if I hit rock bottom. It's not important. It's better to remember when you were better and to remember your triumphs I would say. But that's just my opinion.

Books have been my best friends lately. That's another "whatever" statement. Lot's of reading. It's good for you. I don't have much... I really liked "The ides of march" and felt like talking about it really quick but felt like I had to have something to go along with it. It's like... french fries... you have to have something to go with it. At least a drink. mmmmm french fries.
