Massive Amounts of Testosterone
Saturday night Dezi and I went over to Rick's house. Rick owns Rick's Kicks which is where I take my jiu-jitsu lessons. Rick was kind enough to invite everyone over for a boy's night. The girls were invited too. We settled down to watch the Ultimate Fighting Championships. In this case UFC 52. (www.ufc.tv)
The boys bonded by eating bratwurst and watching guys get pummelled. The girls bonded standing in the kitchen, drinking margaritas and laughing and the noises coming from the guys.
Some of the fighters are people that Rick and some of the others have trained with. For myself I couldn't imagine the amount of abuse these guys heap upon each other. I know how taxing it can be to be doing some of that and we don't punch each other. I guess I don't have the killer instinct because I don't know that I could ever knowingly inflict that kind of damage on someone for a paycheck.
We had a good time and while Dezi didn't watch the fights she said we should do it again. I'm glad she had a good time. I'd like to do it again. As long as I keep Dezi away from the TV when the fights get bloody I think we might.
