Enjoying time off and relaxing

The past couple of days I've relaxed and had time off. I didn't go to jiu-jitsu on Friday and I have 3 days off in a row. I spent today with Jackie and it was a great day. Brad and Aimee had their "couple's baby shower" and it was somewhat weird from a guys point of view. It was my first baby show and wow, the estrogen was flowing like crazy. All in all, it was excellent for Brad and Aimee (2 of my closest and dearest friends).

I actually met Aimee through a girlfriend I had in high-school. When myspace came around years ago, I came across her profile and we met up. We talked a lot about each other and about Casey (my ex). Aimee and Brad had lived together and I met Brad. It was awkward at first because I'm some single guy she knew years ago that talked to her on myspace. Quickly, me and Brad became good friends. We had a common passion. MMA! I had a background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Brad had a varied Martial Arts background. We talked about it, watched it, practiced it, and we're now training together at the Gun Fight Club! I'm so glad to have friends like them.

Tomorrow, I will be back in BJJ and I'm really looking forward to it. I took Friday off due to exhaustion and to rest my right shoulder. It appears I have a 1st degree AC joint separation. Probably from take-downs, kimuras, break-falls, and lifting people at work. I really love BJJ and I can already see and feel the benefits of it. My frustration only lies in not knowing all of the right moves, defenses, and being a complete badass. But I can directly relate that to my impatience. I guess I will learn patience and BJJ at the same time.

Well, until the next blog!
