======================================
Almost An Opponent
Richard received a response about an opponent for me for the Atlas show on Saturday. However, he did not agree to it since the guy has more ring experience that I.
Eight bouts as opposed to my three.
Richard said to me, "I know you can take care of yourself in the ring, but that is a lot of experience to give away..."
That is why I was not in the Atlas show.
However, there is still a chance to be in the next Stockyards' show on July 11.
I will keep working very hard.
It is getting frustrating, though, I spend so much time at the gym, and guys who spend fewer hours at the gym, are getting more ring time.
I mean, how am I supposed to get ring experience?
That is one of the reasons I do so much sparing. Although, it does not really count as ring experience, it keeps me in practice.
No Gym On Wednesday, But Extra Training On Thursday
I was called into work at the last minute on Wednesday afternoon shift, to cover a special event. so I could not make it into Stockyards.
However, on Thursday I wanted to get in early to make up for not going the previous day, but of course, the bus was late.
Richard was not in on Thursday, but I got to get some attention from Will.
Will is our guest coach from Bramalea Boxing Club.
He took me into the ring and had me practice, "My deadly overhand right".
I also got to do a few rounds of sparring with both Nick and Junior,
Made the Weight
Near the time I started at Stockyards, I had set a weight-loss goal.
At that time, my goal was to get down to 185 lbs.
I succeeded that goal, so I set another.
My next goal was 178.
On Thursday, my weigh-in at the gym was 178 lbs.
I guess this means I should set another goal, or just coast?
I don't want to turn into nothing. That is not good, either.
Right now, I am at proper weight for my height and build.
I'm thinking of setting a goal of 175. Just to give me a target.
Ticked Off At the TTC...As Usual
They should call it the CTC, Crappy Transit Commission.
Here is a visual example of why I get so ticked off at the TTC.
Keep in mind that a bus pass in Toronto costs almost $150.
This photo was taked at the Jane Subway Station bus platform, early Saturday afternoon:
As you can see, the platform is crowded, and there are four buses all waiting at the opposite end of the platform. They are all the same route, and are obviously late.
Here is an idea: Move your asses, and pick up the passengers. Why the fuck are you waiting over there?
It was another five minutes before the first bus driver decided to get his fat ass in gear.
$150 for a bus pass, people.....150 freaking dollars!!!!!!!
Can you understand why I complain?
Wow.
If bus drivers were any lazier, they would be comatose.
