This thread is so disrespectful
Any professional fighters you could beat if you had 6 weeks to train?

Pride sent me to prison. Ego pride. I’m kinda able to laugh at myself.ha ha.. Got teeth kicked out, broken wrist that aches in winter, knee's fucked from getting stamped on and will never be right despite surgeries, two stabs, cheek bit through, slashed forehead, early onset cataracts the doctors put down to repeat head trauma... sometimes I fought without need even when I knew I was gonna get my ass kicked, other times I pussied out and burned with the shame when I coulda fought, and all because of ****** young man's pride.
It seemed like a good idea at the time...
..but then in the end I had to swallow all my pride anyway and the old anger at the world just kinda faded to acceptance... and all you're left with in middle age is the injuries and the aches and the question... Was all that nonsense really worth it?

Nothing is worth it.
I wasted so much time.
Crazy I believe able story is I tried to give a Japanese homeless looking guy 20 dollars.
He told me a story. His family got tsunamied away.. he saw it happen... he said. Live
Never focus on money or acquiring stuff. Enjoy the life and time.
I’ll see you next time around???Comment

Thanks brother I sincerely appreciate the kind wordsRespect bro. Nothing is more wise than time and I wiish i learned sooner but I'm happy I learned.
And I'm happy you are removing yourself from bad circumstances. It's never too late and as they say 40 is the new 30 anyway. People work into their 60s now so you hardly past halfway.
Plus theres a certain wisdom you have from life experiences that lots of people only read about in books. You lived it. That helps build character and self reliance. I know we dont know each other but I'm Proud of you bro
I actually feel good that I’m leaving that life behind
Thanks again manComment

Well I ain't ashamed to admit you're a smarter man than me, brother. I pretty much went the way of your friends there, the same drugs, the drink, ended up literally going nuts and homeless on the street selling gear to the hookers and stuff, stealing, whatever it took. Wasn't all like that - even manged to hold down some pretty good jobs for short stretches - but the lows were about as low as you can get.One of my proudest moments was being out with my old crew and me being singly called out by a guy. The group I ran with was all about throwing ones...so it was center stage for me to defend my honor.
In that split second I kinda thought "fuck it...none if this shit is worth it". My group quickly bailed on me in the coming weeks for b itching out and that moment had me depressed for weeks or maybe months.
In hindsight it might've been the smartest thing my dumb@ss did.
Street cred isnt real. You cant pay your insurance or mortgage with it and, at least for me, it attracted the wrong women.
Of my old crew who were top dogs? 1 is in prison (not jail), 1 in and out of jail/rehab for heroin, 1 an alcoholic and womanizer (not too bad lol), and 1 is a complete recluse now and just gets high by himself.
We were dependent on each other growing up and that's not a healthy way to live. Thankfully I got out of my own rut and left a bad situation. Nothing but love and well wishes for those guys...way too much pain and despair at the bottom.
I'm 47 now... finally got my shit together and cleaned up just over 5 years ago, somehow. Took nearly dying and near losing my kids in the end - that and that I was blessed or lucky enough to still have a few people left who cared. Most of the folk I knew from back in the day weren't so lucky... half of em dead now including the mother of my older son.
Now though - finally found some peace with myself for the first time, started again.. got a new Ms K, my older son thriving after the dark days when he was young, a beautiful young son toddling around and driving me nuts through lockdown and my own little half assed business. Life is sweet, but I sometimes ask myself if I woulda ended up appreciating the life I got now so much if I hadn't been through all the shit I did to get here...

Yes, there are lot of journeymen professional fighters who have other jobs. Find a minimumweight journeyman and lean on him for the entire fight.Comment

I won’t even get into my problems cause I still haven’t paid my bill to society , if you get what I mean
But I will be going out with my head held high , I didn’t rat and I didn’t cost anyone anything ( kind of hard to explain but I know you know what I mean )
I’m gonna be 45 in June , took me about 30 years to realize what you just stated
Better late than never is what I’ve been told
All this just to say your story touched me and I’m glad you did what you had to doComment
