- Start training some new martial art (teakwondo perhaps?), I've come and gone to my kickboxing/thaiboxing club too many times. It's starting to feel a bit embarassing.

Heh, that reminds me of my unfaithful relationship with Hapkido.  As much as I've come and gone, I don't think I can show my face there anymore.  BTW, it's a great art if you can find a good teacher.

I did some research and found another muay thai (thaiboxing) club in town, that's actually closer to me. :) So I think I'll contact them. It would be kind of a waste to have worked so hard for the green belt if I'm just gonna give up totally. I like the sport, why I've come and gone had to do with health issues, and the last time it was because I got a job in England.

Thanks for the tips though, guys!

I think the most important part of getting into martial arts, more important than the specific art is to find a good teacher.  You're really luck y if you can find someone with: good technique, the ability to teach, and no serious ego problems.

My instructor was pretty good, although he seem to give the girls a little more attention than the boys.  I heard some interesting stories about him after I ended up leaving class.  I don't think this is the most terrible thing, as long as doesn't interfere too much in class.

Although I had a friend who trained in TKD with someone who had great technique, and knew how to teach.  The high belt was his wife.  Unfortunately the whole class broke up when he ended up sleeping with another woman in his class.  Heh, how's that for character and integrity.

When you kids grow older, you'll learn that drinking up and getting drunk is overrated. There's no good that can come of being drunk. Don't believe me? Wait until that one misfortunate morning when you wake up in someone's bed, only to find out that the person next to you is the one you've been trying to avoid during the whole last evening.

If I reach any of these goals sooner then next year, I'll have to set new ones. Mid-year's resolutions, anyone?

- Move into a beter neighborhood (soon?)
- Learn Flash
- Make another adventure game (or at least get a few of the chapters done)
- Gain 20-30 lbs
- BB flat bench 365 lbs
- Break 450 lbs for free squat
