Should I reconsider getting back in boxing? I BEAT UP A FAT WHITE DUDE TODAY IN THE GYM! Dude had about an inch on me, 6'1'' compared to my six foot. He was probably about 200-215... SLOW AS **** COMPARED TO ME, but a bit stronger. bear in mind it has been almost two years since I boxed competitively. I BOXED HIS EARS OFF. Dropped him 5 times in 3 rounds..
I had a brief stint in the amateurs a couple years ago. I was in the best shape of my life, and I was told I had tremendous potential. I worked with Calvin Brock a couple times actually. Don't know if any of ya'll remember. But he is a native of my very own Charlotte, NC. He said that I had THE PERFECT GENETICS to be a good boxer. Due to my natural low body fat percentage, my ability to shed weight and make insane low weight classes for my size(6 foot, 170 pounds, able to make 140 probably).
I just did not have it in me to give it my all. I became side tracked with having fun in college, and eventually quit all together after about 10 amateur fights, finished 8-2...
Now I have my undergrad degree, I have a fat *** trust fund chilling in the bank... Should I hire top notch training, and devote full time to boxing again?
Or should I go to law school? | | Why not do both. We need more educated fighters like Dr. Klitschko and Chazz Witherspoon. If you are passionate about boxing I say do it. And when you no longer wish to do it you can fall back on your law degree and your trust fund. You could go by the name "The Law"...you know like..."I fought the law and the law won..."lol. | How the hell can people eat with chopsticks? I used to always wanna try using these things every chance I had thinking it was an exotic way to eat food, but after using them so many times with little to no success I've decided I just can't stand using them.
First of all, I can barely even use them. Even with the instructional diagrams included in the paper wrap, I could never really learn how to make them work with little effort. They just strain the **** out of my hands. If this were my only way to eat food, I'd get arthritis within days.
Even if I did know how to use them, I'd still have trouble actually picking up the food. I mean, I just don't understand how anyone could come up with the idea of using two thin sticks to get the food from the bowl to your hatch. Even with the rubber add-on thingy for amateurs, the food just keeps falling off. And people actually eat RICE with these things?
Some Asians say that using chopsticks is "a martial art that lets you use the energy of the food itself to project it into your mouth". What a load of horsecrap. Until there comes a day when people learn how to telekinetically channel food into their mouths, I'll use a spoon to shovel that stuff in. If I've already had to work to put the food on my table, the last thing I'd want is to create MORE work for myself by having to develop a "skill" to pick the food up with a couple of wooden sticks.
Chopsticks are the most impractical eating instrument I've ever used. If I ever ate in a restaurant that only gave chopsticks, I'd use my hands even if they were dirty. | haha, chopsticks are definitely something that takes a lot of practice to use. i hated having to use them when i was small because i couldn't figure out how the **** they worked! i remember stabbing the food with one stick so i could eat. the way we learned was the guy chopstick method. a guy at a japanese restraunt first introduced it to us. it was disposable chopsticks with the wrapper folded up and waded between the chopsticks and a rubber band binding everything together. that made it work kinda like tongs. with that, we just had to learn how to open and close it with one hand because we weren't going to drop on since it was bound with a rubber band.
now that i am older, hashi (chopsticks) are my utensil of choice. i cook and eat with them every chance i get. i even carry some in my purse! =] haha. i can eat everything from rice to ice cream. i like using chopsticks because oddly, it's easier for me to eat with it than a fork. especially when im trying to eat a vegetable salad. im from hawaii and i grew up either eating with my hands or eating with a chopstick with the older generation why the other guys preferred a fork.
**edit**
oh and i forgot, those instructions on the wrapper is what taught me how to use chopsticks even better. i guess it was easier since i already kinda knew how to use them before with the guy chopstick thing. |
