What I need is less people being worried, and more people telling me to get my ass in gear, its coming down to the line guys..... If I slack, I loose. if I know people are counting on me, the my motivation and determination will remain constant. don't go easy on me, and I will not let you down. I will try my damndest and fight my fight for all my friends and in defiance of all the people who thought I could not make it.

10:55 am	Recap So the boxing grand opening was a big success! I had 2 fights and won half of them :) With me being the least experienced person with In' Motion boxing I call that pretty daym good. My coach says that in OCTOBER I will be ready to fight, My obsessive dedication to the sport seems to have paid off, Mark your ca lenders folks, I do not aim to displease! I will be telling everyone the date and time as soon as I know. I have decided that fighting is the one thing I have always been good at, and officially have decided to make this a career. I now train aprox, 4-6 hrs a day. and still only try to take in 1200 calories, while watching my sodium and fat intake carefully, I want to fight at 132lbs, and am at 141 at the moment. I have hit 5% body fat, so I gotta cut muscle off now. its gonna suck. In other news Caliphar is now a knight of blacksone, Not a bad squireship, And other than it being Kristens B day, My friend Cliff Gentery (Ramsuses brother oog) is now a father as of today. end transmission (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:57 am	can't go back Don't throw away good things just never feels right again and once ruined, never replaceable. If you have however, Just keep moving foward, because its imposible to have it the way it use to be. Life is to fast, even for me. So if you ever find yourself wishing it was the way it use to be. Get up and find something else to fill your time or else you end up waisting away. "There is always another way"-the keymaker Current Mood: numb Current Music: none (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:53 am	Top of my game I am finally nearing the top and ready to learn so much more about boxing, I am aloud to participate in every class finally, and they are offering me a discount for when they open their training facility in June. My workout schedule is thru the roof and I have started offering my conditioning training to my friends who are interested, I have lost another 4 pounds and after my personal training sessions with Coach Greg are done, I am going to go with coach Jen for fines and complete my transition from fat lazy bum to athlete. Anyway, got to get back to training! ~Ryland Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: Everything I do- Bryan Adams (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:23 am	Getting better To the point today, So I have started with my personal trainer, and this guy really knows what he is doing, I will be so much faster and coordinated before we are done its nuts, I was so sore and tired after each session with Greg it felt like baptism under fire. I have also started sparing with the people in my boxing class and people from other boxing gyms around VA now. My coach only thinks my hand speed is the only place for real improvement. After my first round with one of our vets of the class, Both Skyler and Greg said “no complaints, keep up the good work” I have Lost 9 pounds with my new diet, Every day I attempt 1,200 calories, I eat every 3.5 hrs.Only good for you food, Low fat, low sodium. lots of vitimans. Works like a charm. When I get hungry I cheat with sunflower seeds,trail mix,gum,fruit,or suggar free jello cups. There is a 12 year old that has a right hook that hurts so much when he hits me named hunter, He has a Junior Olympic fight coming up in Norfolk in 2 weeks and he is in better shape than anyone else I know with the acceptation of my coaches. I still can’t land a clean punch against my coach in sparing practice, but that’s the reason I like to fight him. And I am still waiting for the day when they tell me I’m ready for a fight. With how hard I am pushing myself I hope that’s sooner than later. Masters division, here I come Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: Knights of Cydonia-Muse (Comment on this)

11:53 pm	Sorry ladys I'm Taken! And boxing is her name This weekend was awesome, Went to Golden gloves in VA beach to root my team on and support them and whatnot, First round of live action I saw there was a 12 second knockout, and I mean out cold, his knees locked up and he fell like a tree. All the fights were exciting and fun, my coaches were all over the place making sure our fighters were all ready to go. Friday night we went to the 15t st, me some of our fighters, some of their family and our coaches Greg, Jenn, and Skyler. Well, 1 hour goes by and only drinks had come, then 30 more mins and we get a salad, than 20 more mins we get our food, cold fries, raw fish, ect, horrible meal. our coaches told most of us to leave, but I was skickin with em come hell or high water. Good thing i did, because they refused to give us a reasonable discount, so I used the 60$ i had in my pocket and got the bar tab set then we ran out and hauled ass down the street, where coach Greg and Jenn asked me alone to come to a different bar. And welcomed me to the family of In Motion Boxing. That was the crowning moment of my weekend. Sat and sun, more great fights lots of action, and after , more drinking. Also, I am at 149lbs, they want me to drop to 132, thats 17 lbs. I am at most 10% body fat meaning I will have to cut muscle as well. But thems the breaks. ~Ryland Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: Get in the Ring - Guns and Roses (Comment on this)

11:34 am	Time clock! Well, I finally got a time clock put in my office today, Its about time to, Now I don't have to worry about making my car visible, or worry about days where i get a ride from a friend, or take my bike or my dads car or my dads truck, or my second car. And the days where I spend time in only one area of Edgehill, and everyone who does not live in that area ask "where have you been" I swear friggin people do not see me for one day they think I'm skipping or something, Its stupid and now I got the proof that it isn't so. Not to mention I can record my ACTUAL hours. That should add 30mins to an hour + per paycheck! before that I had just kinda called leaving at 3:30-3:59, just 3:30, same with when I get in in the morning. Only bad thing is I can't check Edgehill mail in the morning at home when it's cold, but with summer coming it shouldn't be a problem Been pushing for this one for a while. small victory ~R Current Mood: accomplished (7 Comments |Comment on this)

10:11 pm	Annoyed It must be the most difficult thing in the world for some people to respond to simple questions. I swear, I have been asking people simple questions via Email for weeks, even calling some of them. I feel like I've been put on standby, Like hold on and do nothing while I take my time "thinking". Anyone who has gotten any of these Emails or messages on Lj, Myspace, or Email ect, please, just shot straight with me. I don't even care if you say,I really don't care about the question. Its better than hearing nothing. I have believed that most of you have been busy or away from your comps, But this is rediculous. Even people I care about are chewing on my last nerve at this point. But hell, go ahead, I run better off of spite and bitterness than attention anyway. If you seirously can't come up with an answer then at least tell me you got my message you bums! ~Ryland Current Mood: aggravated Current Music: Everythings my Fault (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:06 am	odd. So Saturday started out normal and just went sideways from there. 1. Wake up, power breakfast, Gym, Boxing class on the roof of a parking deck. 2. Party at Chuck R Cheese for one of my COACHES. yep, 27th birthday, at Chuck E Cheese. Boxers at this place... kinda felt weird. 3.Punk rock show down town Richmond with my Married friend Nick Ward, vodka and red bull, Paps blue ribbon and loud rockin music. Nick went nuts and drank WAY to much. 4.After show across the street for more pizza,we thought it was a pizza place, It was a Hookah den. Smelled weird and made Nicks stomach upset. Recap, Boxing on a roof,Chuck E Cheese, Punk show, Hookah... 4 things I never planed on doing, got them all in on one day. Friggin weird. ~R Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: Billy Joel- Allways a woman (2 Comments |Comment on this)

2:36 pm	YAY! So this person posted a "loser" comment on my last entry. It got me thinking, I was a loser all thru high school. I had the perfect girlfriend, but friends that took advantage of me all the time. I dropped one like a bad habit "Marla". Then apparently I went blind, because somehow I had not realized my "friend" nik had been doing the same in a somewhat milder fashion. Now also dropped. Since then my life has gotten better 10 fold. I always knew the woman I was with most recently would not last, It was a rebound so I had fun while it lasted. I wasn't upset at all when she broke the news to me. It was only 4 months, I wasn't gona cry like a little bitch like some people I know have and claim that my life was over. I eat better, sleep better, have money because there isn't someone mooching it off of me all the time. I have much more fun and are around people who are supportive and do not use the line "you know how I am". Because I realized that's exactly what use to happen, I knew them, but they had no idea who I was and just expected me to follow suit. So, If this person would have posted this about 5 months ago, they would have nailed it on the button. But I would not change anything at this moment in time. At this point, My biggest downfalls are not sticking with Ana back in the day, Not keeping in touch with Eliza, and The loss of communication with Kristen. for those 3 faults I am in fact a loser. But I am contempt and happy with my self. ~Elf Current Music: kill the wabbit "Elmer Fudd" (7 Comments |Comment on this)

11:23 pm	Should I just expect less or do less? Ya know, something that has been bothering me for ages. When something is important to one of my friends I try to pay the upmost attention to the best of my ability to whatever that something may be. But if it ever comes to something that is important to me its either looked over or just barley paid attention to. What brings this load of crap I'm talking about you may ask. Its the dream I had last night, I had a dream that I finally achieved my first Pro boxing fight and only a few of my friends were there, none that I hoped would be there and the ones that were there paid more attention to their cell phones and each other, to the point where they did not even know if I had won or lost in the end. It felt totally real and after the dream I could suddenly recall instances like that thru my life. I guess I'm having a hard time coming to terms that nobody really cares what I do with my life, So I guess its time for me to stop caring about what the hell they do with theirs.

Simple. I'm single! No loss on her part, Big loss on mine. Not so worried about it, there are so many more things that are more important.

11:31 pm	Indeed I allways miss Ana most on Valentines day, because i allways mix her b-day up with it. I think im developing a sleeping disorder due to my high levels of energy that are comming back to me once again. Working really hard for this tourny, when i do sleep the dreams are so vivid, as if i switched what part of my brain i think with. (now left apparently but ot in all cases) Its to late for me do do somethings I allways wanted, and I have decided to not belive that. Its nice to be dedicated to something. and free to roam at the same time. I was bad and ae a brownie today. X box ate GH3 today. I wish i talked to kristen more still, and where is Eliza oh Oracale of mine. I wonder what time everything will start on saturday at nero. I voted on tuesday.
