Learning your body shots have been really effective is a great thing to find out about yourself as far as boxing goes. Learning this because a guy has a cracked rib . . . . not so great. Not when it's in your own gym :bang: Hence the problem with "sparring for KO's"
The first night's sleep after not sleeping properly for a week is a rough one. I feel like I've been hit by a truck. Now I'm gonna go run/kick dogs. *sigh*
If you ever want to dispel the self-impression that you're an intelligent contributing member of an evolved society, watch yourself eating buttered toast in a mirror. I made that mistake this morning. Looked like a brain-damaged dairy cow.
LOL...But nowadays most guys I know desire the commitment and it is the women fleeing or playing the field

It's not always good to have an automatic response to a certain situation. For example, I hate it when street vendors try to sell me things or people handing out fliers try to get into conversation with me. I always greet them with a mean spirited stare and a "nauh, I'm good man" and walk right by them even if they try to press. It's automatic for me. The other day a girl at the university started waving at me. I didn't know who she was but it seemed like she knew me and I was caught off guard. As I got closer she said something I didn't hear so I gave a confused look and she repeated. After she repeated her comment I immediately realized she was trying to give out information and talk about something and before I processed what she had said I gave her the cold, angry stare and the "no man, not interested." I wish I had listened closer and not reacted before I realized the situation. She was trying to speak to me about issues on gay rights. What made it worse is I realized what I did and the kind of hate my reaction is generally associated with. I stutter stepped and gave a "ah crap" glance at the girl. She just looked at me and smiled and said "it's ok" and I just kept on walking.
Of course, you probably don't get exposed to Australian TV, sport etc as much as we do back in Blighty. But we notice that Australians have a peculiar habit of ending every sentence with a rising tone, as though it was a question.
For some reason last night, I thought, "I could go through every post I have a 'thanks' on and edit the post entirely to say something incredibly offensive that no sane person would agree with." :ban:
Ah right! Funnily enough, we've made the same observation of many Brits. And I say that as a (long expatriated) Brit myself. Whenever my wife spends time around my parents, she takes on that same rising tone. But now that you say that, I know exactly what you're talking about. I have an Aussie here in the office, and can hear it perfectly now that you've said that.
Unfortunately some Brits copy that particular Australian mannerism - probably through over-exposure to rubbishy Aussie soaps.
