Whoa, the fights were so great, I wish I could go tonight and tomorrow night, too! 
People from our gym have had mixed success - some won, some lost. Then, there were the ones whose fighters wouldn't fight them or who dropped out on their own. Oh well.
There was this one guy, Fabian, who was awesome! He's kind of a big dude (looks like...

hey, how are the golden gloves? oh, yeah.....I FINALLY really quit smoking. he he he. is that a good thing or a bad thing before taking a vacation? take it easy sweetie 
I miss being a total jerk. Lately, I've been nice to people and minimally a cynic. This isn't sitting well with me.
Have a good weekend, people.

Jaysus, it's only Tuesday! At least St. Patty's is tomorrow! Will I be going out? Or will I stay home and cough myself to sleep? My friends are going to Beckett's... I think I need to go.

I Read The News Today, Oh Boy
Holy cow, CalTech scientists have made a chip that can extract DNA from single cells! This is more relevant to workers in the medical field than to myself, but still fascinating.

Hung over, want to throw up.
We went dancing last night with E's second parents... hip hop at some sports bar in Antioch, it was fun but man can they drink me under the table.

My problem is I can't stop chewing that stuff once I get started! And I can't stand normal gum--it's gotta be that super-strong sour apple style stuff that rots your teeth...
Hence... apples. And yeah, go spoil yourself a little--you deserve it with all the ass-kicking you're putting in at the gym.

Damn cough.
Friday, great, we woke up late so now we have to go to Bally's later instead of going out drinking. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY LIFE? I think I'd kick someone's ass to get a cigarette right now. No, but it's good, it's great to be healthy, I LOVE IT, SERIOUSLY, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

That sucks! I did that myself one time. Drove around for a half hour then gave up. I showed up at about 6:45 which is how I found parking. Better luck next time.
motionboy:

So, amazing news... I will probably be in my program for another two years because my dissertation research is being recommended for funding by the National Science Founcation (NSF)! Woo hoo, that's f'ing thousands of dollars for Narc to be independent and spend on supplies! 
I've made more girl friends at the boxing gym, hurray.

wow! i know that $ doesn't come easy. congrats! and i saw on el guapo's journal that you do intend on competing. right on! ok, maybe no regular tv for mami's sake, but how about some pay-per-view? and you're meeting more girls at the gym, training right? *sigh* to be just a few years younger.
53 minutes of running, total of 60 min with walking and 2 breaks for a swig of water and a lung hack.
Um, I was in the ring last night with Enrique and he started throwing punches at me. GD, it's hard to block them!! That fucking pooped me out! But I still can't wait to do it again. I had a moment of glory...

It's true what they say. It's worth getting busted down a few dozen jabs at a time, if only for that one magic moment when you manage to rock someone's world purely on your own.
latortuga:
that sounds totally cool. what's your ultimate goal with boxing? are we going to be seeing you on tv?
Even though I've been hocking loogies all weekend long, I still had a great time. I got flowers, massages, spent some time in a jacuzzi... spoiled and smothered, I loved it. I even got to play soccer with Enrique's three year old nephew.
I'm tired... Sundays are for being lazy. I went to church today and i fell asleep for a few seconds. When will...
