Me and Fencing in 2008
I'm not one to make resolutions for the new years. I've probably done it but I knew the whole time I was only setting myself up for failure. I love resolutions, I love the way the squeal when I ignore them and do what ever I want. I'm not one to do something I don't want to do, therefore there isn't anything I would actually want to stop doing on purpose. I have done something on accident and chosen not to do it again. But I like fried chicken, therefore I'm going to keep on eating it, to hell with the consequences. If I suddenly decide that the pleasure isn't worth the pain, I'll stop doing it. All this said, today I'm talking about what I am going to do about fencing in 2008.
I hope that before July I manage to renew my membership in the USFA. I have no interest in competition, but I like the magazine. I am going to return to the salle two nights a week. If I have the opportunity to do three nights a week, I hope I don't. I'd like to do something else also. Fiddle lessons come to mind. I've always wanted to play an instrument.
I also hope to eat less real food, and more simulated food product. It doesn't require cooking, doesn't take much time to eat, and cleans up easily. Plus shopping becomes a breeze. No thinking about menus, variety, or expiration dates. There will always be chicken of course. I like chicken and I can get that on the drive home.
As for fencing...well, yeah. Two nights a week, and no competition, that about sums it up.
