In the words of Tommy Boy “I passed! I passed! Oh, man! I got a D+! I’m gonna graduate!”

In June I started training in Muay Thai, and Filipino Martial Arts at my friend Ervin’s studio, I.M.P.A.C.T. Athletes. Last week I had my first test and the above is the video. As you can see, I kinda got my butt kicked and have a lot to work on. It has been a lot of work, but I really have enjoyed it. Lots of new friends and my confidence level has grown tremendously!

I passed! I passed! Oh, man!

Yeah, that’s right. My mom can kick some serious butt! This weekend, my 57 year old mother checked off another item on her bucket list when she entered in a powerlifting meet at Flex Gym in Virginia Beach. And…….she placed both 1st place in the Bench Press division, and the deadlift division for her class. The fact that she was the only one in her divisions doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that all the other moms out there were too scared! Check out those muscles!

My Mom Can Kick Your Mom’s Ass!

If you watch Southpark you will appreciate this. I saw this wheelchair in a thrift store last nighr. It was too good of a photo opportunity to pass up.

Timaaaaay!!!

I have been needing a change lately and have been having a difficult time figuring out what that change is. As an exercise in stepping out-of-the-box (I hate that phrase) and being open for change, I decided to shave my head…making a change. Sort of like making a mark on a blank canvas that has had you stumped for a few months. Sometimes it takes that first mark to get things in motion. I consider this mine. It may sound like a ridiculous exercise to some, but I am running out of ideas. Hopefully this will be the spark that moves me forward.

Drizair

Over the past two years, I have steadily made significant upgrades to Christy’s house. Today all that went down the drain. The hot water heater failed and left a path of destruction. This evening I got to watch the guys from Servpro rip up everything I worked so hard for. I am pissed.

Hard Work Down the Drain

This is from a local parking lot. Sure the people that did those meant well, but they were just a little sloppy. It gives me the impression that only handicapped families are allowed to park there.

Handicap Family Parking?

Saw this in a parking lot yesterday. Made me grin. That bus may be rusty and ugly, but it has a positive attitude.
