6 weeks off from sparring = shitty timing.

shitty timing in sparring = stupid looking shiners.

me getting caught after a six week layoff from sparring does NOT equal that ever happening again, trust.

jaiden and coop's t ball and baseball ended last weekend. this opened stuff up for me to get my spar on again on saturdays, which i was missing biiiiiiiiig time. through it all i maintained my training for the most part, so ive stayed in shape, just, i hadnt been able to spar since april. thats some shit right there.

so i walked in there today, and practiced getting punched in my face by peeps who nevvvvvvvver catch me.

timing .... that i had worked HARD to get to, poof!... gone like bobby bradys voice when he hit puberty.

my cardio was on point, i was really happy about that... my footwork was tight.

my kicks felt good.

but i dunno, everything else sucked balls mayne. i got caught...

everyone.

haha, whoa.

good thing my level of "normal" is off kilter, and i actually LIKE getting hit, i mean that,, it doesnt bother me even a little bit.... physically, but dammit man, it fucks with me psychologically,,, i beat myself up for letting that shit happen. i'm better than that. no offense to anyone who popped me in the grill today, but in reality,,, i dont think i honestly lost many rounds today. i outlanded mostly every one.. but definatley got punched more today that i have in months. many months. and i needed that.

cause now im fired the fuck up. imma work my ass off now, real hard, and imma let these things fly.

and, even after kinda re-tweaking my ankle today, i have decided that i'm going back to kicking the shit outta mofos. legs, ribs and yes ,,, believe it or not heads, i'm kicking them. i started concentrating on my hands too much, im letting it all go now,.... let the wild rumpus begin.

and since everyone else has decided that we can start landing shit at 100% , i am all over that program and joining that fun little club. i am being completely honest when i say i've been sparring at around 65%, it took me MANNNNNY HOURS to get comfy there, but not no mo mang,, im ALOT more happier touching you with some steam. being one of the bigger dudes sparring is bullshit really. i'm constantly being told to notch it back, but , because im bigger, i'm repeatedly facing dudes throwing @ full power. every round, whatever....

really, i'm just suprised i didnt lose any contacts today.... haha.

after sparring, when cooper, jaiden, and myself sat down in my ride, jaiden yelled from way in back....

" DADDDDDY WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYE?!?!"....

lol.

*frown*

i looked in my rearview mirror, and said....

"DAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMN!"..... oh my.

the funny thing is, i ran through my head and tried to pinpoint exactly WHICH shot to my face caused it. and couldnt figure it out,, and thats some shit,,, oh well. haha,.,... man. thats a sure sign i ate too many punches.

sloppy.

so today was a free pass to my teammates.,,,,,, see ya next time.
