First you just throw, then you see you need to
tuck the chin down
bring those elbows in
don't match eyes - keep your spot in focus
watch your guard
slip more - move your hands with your head
twist with it, drive the hand from the twist
where is the ball of your foot? Drive from the ball of your foot - feel it, push with your foot, every punch has to start from there,
use your foot to push through to your fist - drive!
watch your knuckle connection
now watch those combos, ready for the bob, react, move from guard and hit
Pop that jab - don't rely on it, hold the ram in reserve
Are you just throwing or watching for an opening
drive that hook from center, don't John Wayne it
make an opening, peel him like an onion
Relax, just work and cover, wait for it and don't move in without conviction
map the target, move around that map

Tonight I'm talking to someone I haven't talked to in what...10 years? And I sound just like an angry 17 year old, just like I sounded 10 years ago - nothing changed? Have I regressed or did I just never change, never grow up?

You know in a couple of months I won't have the stress from law school or the trauma from recent events. I'll just be me, and what I do will not be subject to a wall of excuses or "Oh he's going through some real shit right now, like some real shit." No, in a couple of months I'll just be being me, and there is this possibility that you'll discover that I'm just an asshole.

Will we just discover that or did we know all along? ;p Even with all that's going on your not what you think you are.

i have experienced the phenomenon of personality regression due to interaction with friends from the past...it is scary.

me and some high school friends got together a couple of weeks ago...3 people in their mid-thirties...we looked at each other at the end of the night and shook our heads at the fact that things just don't change all that much.

but they do change, it's just that certain circumstances just draw out these old habits of thinking and expressing oneself--your brain just snaps back to the shape it was when you were in the same situation...it is telling, but it's not the whole story...
? maybe ?
