Lex DeVille's: One Thread For All My Genius, Unhinged, Mostly Really Bad Ideas

[Lex DeVille]

Got tired of making threads for all my brilliant/terrible ideas, so I'm gonna put everything here that doesn't have it's own thread from now on.

Becoming an MMA Fighter
After I got fired from the mortuary, I started kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, and MMA. It's going well.

I rolled with a pro fighter this morning. He's the one with dreads in the video below.

How did it go?

I got choked out...a lot.

What a trip. This shit is hard. For 37, I'm getting in damn good shape tho.



I enrolled my daughter yesterday. She had her first kickboxing class and loved it. She'll try jiu-jitsu tonight. Now we have a daddy-daughter sport.



Man, it's crazy what you can do if you just say, "F*ck it, I'm doing this," and then do it.

The most valuable takeaway so far is how this gets me completely out of my head and heart, fully in the body for an hour. When I'm taking leg kicks or gut punches or seeing stars as my face turns purple...all I can do is focus on what's right in front of me. No worries about tomorrow, no emotions. Just pain and process.

That's an awesome update. Definitely high on the kick a$sery scale.
