Jonathan's blog inspired this post. But last night while watching American Idol I finally found out what I really want to do. I want to get a job and get paid for giving my opinion on crap. I mean how cool would that be!?
The only problem is that nobody gives a crap about my opinion. You have to have a reputation for something before people start to care. But I would just love to sit in Simon's chair and just trash people all day and get paid for it.

MMA
Goodness haven't had time to breathe this week. First week of Spring classes. At least the days are flying by.
I went to my first Muay Thai kickboxing class last Saturday. It kicked my ass and reminded me of how out of shape I am. I have a lot of mass but it would really slow you down in a real fight. But hopefully just by having a lot of mass you can avoid fights all together. I'm approaching 230lbs but don't tell Mary because now I want to go to 250lbs.
I'm going to start taking a mixed martial arts class on Saturdays in Oakland. The class mixes, Muay Thai, boxing, catch wrestling, jiu jitsu, and just good ole fashioned American kick assing. I'm really looking forward to my next class. I feel that it will force me to do more cardio.
On a related note look out for Brock Lesnar to be the next big thing in MMA. You might know him from his WWF days. 6'3" and 265 lbs of raw strength. He was actually the NCAA heavyweight wrestling champ in 2000 finishing with a 33-0 record. (Pretty impressive) His real test comes in the next UFC pay per view vs. Frank Mir. It will be a good test because Frank Mir is no pushover.

Brood of Vipers
Matthew 12:34-35
You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
Yesterday the message was about the tongue. The pastor said that what comes out of your mouth is the overflow from your heart. Using that logic I think I am a bitter, angry, hateful, and unloving person because that is what usually comes out of my mouth. I always spew out bitter and hateful words. Every time I talk about someone it’s always to say how much I dislike them or hate them or think they’re stupid. I think some of it is out of habit, but I really need to change this. I need to start saying more positive things about people or nothing at all. Yeah I like nothing at all.
I know I’ve said this before but I think that I am full of unresolved rage. Normally I am a gentle and nice person, but when I get angry I am ridiculous. I will say and do some ridiculous things. Whenever I tell Mary that I have resolved the past and made peace with things, she always disagrees. She’ll reply back with, “Why is it then that you haven’t talked to your dad in over 15 years?” Man I hate it when she’s right. But my excuse is that no good can come from me seeing him. Maybe it’s wrong, but it’s safe.
On a lighter note, I think that I will start insulting people by calling them a brood of vipers. Man how awesome is that?

A Rare Event
Today my coworker sent me one of those chain e-mails but this one asked to pray for her and send it on to others. So I said to her casually, "I didn't know you were religious."
Then she said, "Yeah I'm trying because some things are going on." Then she shared with me.
Afterwards I sent her an e-mail with a bible verse: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).
And I wrote: In my experience prayers don’t always get answered directly but somehow in the end God grants me peace and understanding. I hope the same for you.
Then I prayed for her.
She replied with a thank you.
I rarely bring up my faith at work, but on rare occasions they fall on my lap. Like that one time when my other co-worker Jane said she was looking for a church and so I invited her to mine. Even though in the end our church wasn't for her it was still pretty cool. Her and her fiance (now husband) came out for over a month and really enjoyed the experience.

Sick as a Dog
So I'm at home sick as a dog. I guess it was a little more serious than I thought. Towards the end of the work day I started to get chills and my stomach took a turn for the worse.
As soon as I got home I went right into bed and had these flu like symptoms. My body ached and I had major chills. I had the worse night ever. I went diarrhea like 4 times and in the morning I threw up. This is the sickest I've been since Mary and I went to Puerto Vallarta. I'm so exhausted.
I haven't eaten anything in 24 hours. I tried eating some jjook but then I had to run to the bathroom again. I've lost 12 pounds of water weight.
Damn every time I start making great gains in the gym, I get sick.

You're Beautiful
My co-worker Jane who is Philipino went to Korea over the holidays to visit her husband stationed over there...(everybody always does these script things, this is my first one)
Jane: Dude Korean girls are so skinny! Mary is the prettiest Korean girl.
Me: My Mary?
Jane: Yeah, there're all skinny as hell but their face is not that pretty. Not as pretty as Mary's.
Me: ...you went to South Korea right?
Thank you I'm here all night. Just kidding babe you're pretty, so pretty, so pretty (pats hair with hand), so pretty, so pretty...
