Welcome to the 100 log posts club dude.

I'm going to steal your diet. Just awesome. Good job.

[farmboy]

Thanks. I'm a little pissed because I missed judo all last week. My sister was visiting. I'm going down to Scranton tomorrow and have a BJJ/Sambo/Judo place lined up to train at, so I'm pretty psyched. Hope the diet helps!

Well, the BJJ class in Scranton didn't work out. The job was so small that I finished before 2pm and ended up driving back home. I did drive by the place, hoping that maybe somebody would be there so I could at least talk to them about next week when I'll be in Scranton for 4 nights. Alas, nobody was home. I should have probably just puttered around Scranton and spent the night, anyway. I thought about that after I called in to my office. Oh well, judo tomarrow night. And I get to explain why I missed both classes last week...

Well, I was going to wake up this morning and do my pull day like I do most every Wednesday, but judo last night was brutal and my legs are killing me, so I decided to wait it out a little. I'm sureI'll be able to work out any kinks throughout the day, and hopefully tonight I'll go ahead and catch back up to my normal routine. If not, there's always tomorrow.

No judo again until April 18th. That sucks, but it's good in a way, because I'm out of town all week in Scraton, PA, so at least I won't be missing a whole week of class since there's none anyway. Hopefully I'll be able to get to James Simrell's place. I drive by it last week so I know how to get there.

I think I'm definitely going to be able to go to the Ricardo De La Riva seminar that's going on at WNYMMA next month. That should be a great experience. I'm really looking forward to it.

I think your goal is attainable. The last two times I went to watch amateur MMA events in a neighboring town I was asked if I wanted to fight. !!!! I was basically friends of the friend of the guy running the events. Both times they had a couple fighters who's opponents didn't show up, and my buddies were going around asking people with some martial arts in their background if they wanted to fight. Now dude, I'm 40 and have never boxed a day in my life. But I could have gotten in the ring if I wanted to, easy.

Now check this out. I could have fought this guy if I had accepted the spur of the moment offer:

http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/f...?fighterID=725

Go down his list of fights and find Robert Briggs at NOC-Night of Champions. Briggs was one of the guys in the audience who was asked if he wanted to fight and agreed. He went to watch an event and ended up in the ring. He looked white as a sheet but he put in a round against a UFC fighter (corner threw the towel in before the second round).

Now my point is not to clog up your log (sorry), but to encourage you to not forget about this goal of yours, and to realize that it might be closer than you think...

[farmboy]

Bubble Boy, I'm honored that you take the time to post on my log. You aren't clogging it up at all. Honestly, you are one of the guys on the Sherdog forums that I have the most respect for, and I make sure to take the time to read your posts on the grappling forum. Thank you for having confidence in me when I sometimes don't.
