sometimes i hate being a guy

Halo299 · Post by **Halo299** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 12:12 pm

to day as i was leaving my kickboxing class a guy came up to me.

I know this guy from another Martial Arts class we had together and he asked me "when are we going to spar again?"

now keep in mind that this guy is better then me, a lot bettter then me. he has years of expiriance and an amount fo training in what ever martial arts he does that i simply can't compete with him.

i have fought him before numerous times and the only times the outcome was different were the times i was able to limp away after it was over as compared to the times when i just had to lay there for a few minutes before i tried to move. He has hurt me in the past, and he has hurt me rather bad.

so knowing all that, how did i respond to his question about us sparing?

"anytime you are ready."

in that moment my C++ lab that i was running late for didn't matter, the histroy test i had leter that day didn't matter. the amount of pain that his guy has caused me in the past didn't matter.

In my mind we were about ready to go at it Kill Bill style right there in the kickboxing gym.

i don't know why i reacted like that, i don't know if that was a bad way to respond, but that is what happened.

my only ansewer...because i am a guy.

i am supposed to meet the guy a little later this week for our "ninja power battle".

I hate being a guy cause I go insane if I don't masturbate at least 3 times per day.

Well, that's bullshit.

Being a guy has nothing to do with it. It's your pride fucking with you, to paraphrase Marcellus Wallace.

If you don't want to do it, just say, "Nah, I don't feel like getting my ass kicked, on second thought." And walk off.

You may get called a pussy, but you're a bigger pussy if you're not being the master of your own decisions.

Right when you get close and bow to start the fight, give him a quick jab to the throat.

That'll learn him.

The whole point was honor or pride or whatever! That's cheap

Heh.. you've never been in a real fight have you?

the idea of a fair fight is nice and all, but it never happens in real life.

But the whole point of that fight was for pride. It wasn't a real fight!

JohnnyTwoEyes · Post by **JohnnyTwoEyes** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 4:59 pm

I'm proud of the fights I've won by trickery and deception.

They're the only fights I've won.

You know it would be cool to win a fight on PURE trickery.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight... just stay home. That'll confuse the shit out of them.

Have this image in my head now of this guy meeting halo in an empty gym room, looking around, wondering where he is, and suddenly being knocked clean off his feet by one of those ewok log-swing traps.

Or a red dot appearing on his forehead.

nah, not the log swing trap. PURE dropbear action. nobody brings a spiked helmet to a kickboxing match, the only known defense against dropbears, but they might be able to dodge the log trap.

JohnnyTwoEyes · Post by **JohnnyTwoEyes** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 7:19 pm

I find that the best defense (for me at least) against a drop bear is to not wash my hair for a couple days. The thick layer of natural oil repels rain, blocks the sun's harmful rays, and causes drop bears to go flying as if they hit a slip 'n slide.

ehhh

i now that it is 9 parts ego and 1 part unknown substance, but that still dosen't help much.

And i don't even think that my issue is with beating him, but i just want to improve to the point where i CAN beat him. I think it has more to do with my desire to improve then my desire to prove myself...but then again he would make a great person to prove myself against and feel good while doing it.

let me put it to you this way. If our Martial Arts abilities were skills in an RPG they might go a little bit something like this.

Halo
***Aikido-3
***Kung Fu-1
***Muay Thai-1

This Guy
***Judo-5?
***Ninjitsu-5?
***Muay Thai-1

so just think all the xp i could get if i did manage to take him out.

-halo(that log trick sounds like a good idea)

Level up vs a bunch of Zergs before the fight.
