After my rather miserable and wrong rants recently i thought it time to write a new happier Blog, apart from the Breakup things are actually going very well in all other areas apart from my lovely VW Passat which has just cost me £700 to get through the MOT just to sell. Great!
Although me and Hayley never fell out ( i have mentioned this in my previous blog ) i feel we have made a huge step forwards together, and a serious talk really left me a little low for a while and then the mood lifted and i felt so positive, dont get me wrong the serious talk wasnt a fall out, it was a good thing, we talked things over and got a few things cleared up. It was good, i needed it and i feel very close to her again. This is helping me to move forwards with everything and im very thankful for it.
I am currently typing this with a broken 5th Metacarple also known as Boxers Break i believe, this was due to hitting a wall ( not in the joggin sense i actually….Hit a wall! ) at training on sunday, now TBH i hit the wall for a number of reasons but i didnt hit it hard, i have hit the wall that hard hundreds of times with pads on but the theory is that the hand was actually fractured already, probably for a round 3 weeks ( god knows how i did it in the first place, i really have no idea ) the impact on sunday just finished it off, it was waiting to happen so im glad it done now with at least a slight chance of healing for the EMTF mixed styles seminar in a few weeks. I will be there anyway, but hopefully i will still be able to take part. I hit the wall as i felt very frustrated with myself at the moment in life ( on sunday anyway ), I tried to pump myself up as well as i had just got caught by being lazy during fighting and also very frustrated at the fact the guy i was fighting wasnt doing anything ( other than the technique just mentioned ) i hate it when people just sit back in training and expect you to do all the work, you gotta try new things and attack, ah well i still won the fight,even with the broken hand! booyah! And i will be fighting again on sunday, i havent missed a VS session yet, i dont plan to yet, I try to always set an example in the Dojang, and as a student i never EVER missed a lesson , it simply didnt happen, if i have an injury or illness the physically prevented me from training i would be there to watch and learn, to support and help when needed, its this lesson people need to learn from. No matter what the injury you are still needed in the Dojang, this isnt a McDojo, everyone is valued, everyone is needed and everyone needs to show their support as often as possible. Some people are being slack, i will happily say this in public, and im sure no one reading this is, but if by any chance i get new readers and they think it applies, look at yourself, check the attitude and apply the changes that need to be made. Your either a Martial Artists or a part time, pyjama clad aerobics enthusiast, if its the latter, you wont get anywhere in TSD or even KB i suppose, you need dedication, effort, sweat and in most cases a bucket full of pain. Martial Arts isnt supposed to be easy, its why i tend to build the best friendships through training, we sweat together, hurt together, bleed together, it bonds you. Gay sounding? Maybe! But true. I remember first mentioning to people that TSD ( esecially ISK ) is like a family, and people laughed at me, thinking it to be ridiculous. But years on training with me the opinion changed, they now refer to it as a family. It has that much impact on peoples lives, but only those that take it seriously. I have gone way off topic, im sorry, i just started typing an got carried away, but the points are still valid.
The hand is in a 3 point splint, which basically looks like a handwrap with a huge bit of plastic in the middele, which took about 40 minutes to custom fit to my hand ( which i oddly enjoyed ) but evertime i look at it im tempted to dip it in Glue and Glass! 
I am hugely looking forward to the EMTF seminar, a chance to kick back with friends, have a few beers at the hotel ( which i always love, that feeling of getting out of the car, stretching, checking in,, grabbing that sweet shower and downing that first pint ) Im also looking forward to seeing whats reputedly one of the best live bands in existance, Pearl Jam in Manchester, That is going to be great, have just booked the triple room for Me, AJ and Lee, Have had the tickets bought for me, and AJ will be driving ( he doesnt know this yet )
Havent posted tunes for aaaaages! so heres some to make up for it.
