Business has been pretty damn good too.& & Yeah, we felt the pinch of the recession pretty bad as our customers struggled to make their payments and keep themselves afloat, and there were more than a handful of missed opportunites, but we weathered the strom much better than most, and there are a lot of exciting new projects happening, and some new ideas for the next year that are actually really interesting to me.& I’m pretty excited.
It’s been fun getting back into sparing and some MMA stuff.& Chris took it up a few months ago, and it’s meant that here and there between his gym time and mine, we got someone to fuck around with.& & Fuck, he’s getting pretty good too.& & & Even when we don’t do that, it’s been pretty cool to have someone else close by that’s into physical stuff instead of just going for another damn beer all the time.& Don’t get me wrong.& & Love going for a beer on occasion, but I’m a big boy, and I get restless.& It’s great to have people that like climbing, boxing, running or what have you in a social context.& & ‘s also nice when you can take the beer to a basketball court (as long as you don’t get caught – lol).& Also, good chance I’ll be doing some iron man training with Don this year.& I’m not competing this year, no fuckin way, but he competes each year, and was interested in having a training buddy.& We run the same courses, do the gym at the same time, and both have a thing for goth girls so…& *laugh*& ‘s nice to have someone so experienced to help train endurance.& & Who knows.& I may enter next year – not to win, just to see if I can complete it.
Oh, so looking to running today.& Been stupid busy the last 3 weeks, and have only been able to make it out once a week.& Missing it.
Ya know, that’s probably what was really missing from my life was extreme endurance training.& & Having those endorphins around all the time changed everything back to what it was like when I was 20.& So awesome.
Haven’t been DJing a lot, which I sorta miss, but the events that I have been doing have been a lot bigger and more fun.& I have however been making a lot of my own music and bed tracks and been kind of running a DJ boot camp for some electro lovers, so it’s been more fun than work.& Every couple weeks we all get together with gear, pizza and some brews and spend a night makin racket without having to impress anyone or worry about playing a crowd.
Reminds me… Gotta talk to Benny about the Whistler thing soon…. damn… always need more time in the week.
Been dating a lot again over the last year after a bit of a hiatus. & I just wasn’t in the right headspace for a quite a while there.& & & I had to spend some time learning to like myself again and spoiling me, instead of someone else.& Also I think I had to learn to give up on “relationship’ crap.& I mean, I’ve tried… we’ve all seen the results.& &
& Mostly just casual dating and meeting some pretty awesome people.& Recently however, much to my bewilderment, there kinda is someone rather special.& I’ve been quietly seeing someone recently that became pretty much my best friend over the last few months.& I gotta admit that I’m a little bit smitten.& & *laugh*& I really didn’t think I had it in me anymore.& &
Well… don’t worry, after a good lay down and a few asprin, I’m sure the feeling will pass.& It’s a reallly nice change though to date someone that you’d be ok waking up beside in a jail cell.& *lol*& Dunno if it’s gonna go anywhere, but don’t really worry about it.& & It’s just fun to have a partner in crime.
So that’s pretty much the year.& Healthy, excited about work, met some amazing new people, getting to get outside and play a lot more, a lot less stress, and getting to try a lot of new things.& & It’s been an awesome year.
That’s enough of that. I have to get some stuff ready for the gym, and time permitting, make it down to Mikado to pick up some gloves for later this week. Been a week since I was in the weight room, and I need that endorphin pick me up.
