ENTRY 218
Next scheduled bout: February 21, opponent TBA
New Computer Finally Here
My new computer is here. It is not yet set up, but it will be by the weekend.
It came with a tablet, which is kind of cool. I have never had one of those.
My new computer. Similar to the one that died, but with more RAM and Windows 8.1.
This computer is costing me over $1400.
The 'cash' price is $865.
That is why you don't finance.
Free tablet.
The wife wants it, but I have bad news for her.
I'm Sill Searching, Again
Lately I have been noticing something 'odd' at Stockyards.
It has been happening since October, but I have really beginning to notice it this month.
I have been feeling neglected.
Richard rarely talks to me, much less coach me. Junmar has been about the same.
This past week, Richard has been bringing in a bunch of boxers from other gyms, and has been more interested in their performance than with mine.
Tuesday was the worst. The gym was so crowded with visiting boxers, that I was crammed into a corner and forgotten like a piece of garbage.
All I can do is shadow box in the corner, much less spar or anything else.
I have not had any sparring in over a week since my registration went in. Actually, it has been longer than that. A month.
Then, on Saturday, Richard takes our boxers to another gym, but won't let me go.
Richard won't let me travel with him to another gym, and I can't really even use my own gym being so crowded, what the hell is that deal?
Also, last Thursday, in addition to ignoring me, Richard kept on giving me a dirty look. He is pissed off at me, but would not tell me why.
Now, there is going to be another Stockyards card on February 21, and I think Richard is going to tell me that he can't find an opponent for me.
I'll bet that if I put an 'ad' for an opponent on this blog, I will get replies.
I have a feeling that Richard does not try very hard right now.
It just seems that he does not care about me any more.
I am not saying Richard is a bad coach. However, right now, he is acting very 'odd', and I don't know what is causing it.
I mean, if I am doing something, or not, I wish he would tell me what I am doing to piss him off.
I don't make suggestions to coaches any more, after the Kingsway Meltdown.
Therefore, if I don't hear anything from Richard about the February 21 card by right after the Brampton Cup, I am going to search for an opponent myself.
I think he is pissed that I changed my style from 'Technical' to 'Aggressive', and I don't think he likes that.
Well, it is obvious that Technical does not work for me, and since I am practically coaching myself right now, what else can I do?
It may be nothing.
No. It is something. Regardless of what is going on, Richard should not be ignoring his own athletes.
I was Stockyards' very first member. I joined before they were even open.
I should be their A-Number-One Superstar boxer.
Why did that not happen?
Interesting, isn't it?

I am going to give it until the end of February, and if I do not see any changes, I may have to make a decision about Stockyards Boxing.
Although, I really don't want to leave Stockyards, I need to get a "W". I can't keep losing. I am going to get frustrated, and quit, and then everything myself and Richard and Junmar have done will go to waste.
Also, I have already renewed my registration with Boxing Ontario through Stockyards, and it is a huge pain in the butt to change it.
However, if that is what needs to be done...

I am going to start looking soon, so that if I need to make a sudden jump to another gym, I will be ready.
