well i thought id try this blogging thing and today is always a good day to start something. today im actually a little battered so i think i might be starting my weekend a bit early. it is already friday afternoon here so it isn't that early though. for some reason my right shoulder (the muscle) is really sore so punching and blocking with that side isn't really an option and after a morning class of doing nothing but jabs, kicks and getting punched in the head (i wasn't really doing to well in sparring today) i think im going to get a thai massage and see if anyone wants to hit the beach with me. tonight there is a fight so it might just be a lazy afternoon and then go to the fights tonight and then beach tommorow and sunday...i know i live a rough life.
so far travelling has been pretty good, i wanted this trip to have more of a "living here" feeling to it and i think i have almost accomplished that. at first i wasn't sure if i actually liked it cause i didn't really do much and i was always tired but now that im in kind of a schedule of sorts it is actually really good. home sick is kind of wearing off though doing some facebook wall creeping and reading blogs makes that feeling of missing out come a bit. but this is what i want and choose so im loving it.
im staying at a shared house about a 10 minute bike ride away from camp (tiger muay thai and mma boxing camp). there are three rooms there, a kitchen and a living room with a tv/dvd player. we don't have cable which makes for some boring afternoons but encourages working out which is good (since that is what i here for). i got the luxury room cause i have a/c and my own private bathroom. right now im living with a guy from boston (dan) and a empty room cause mikei (or mika or something like that) just left for australia, though she is originally from belgium. dan is moving out today though to move to a closer, cheaper room so i don't know who they are going to put me with next. i finally have a fullish fridge and cupboard cause i went shopping yesturday. i spent a bunch of money but it should help me save in the long haul.
well im hungry so ill write more of what im doing/have done later

Hi! Jon: Heh - great idea to blog. I'm happy to be the first person to leave a comment too . . . this will be a great way for you to share your experiences with everyone.
Please don't let people punch you in the head too often . . . do you really have to do that? I know that's a mom comment, right?
Enjoy the sunshine - it has been very cold here the last few days. We have to count on the fireplace to warm us up these days.
Love ya!
Mom
Jon - I forgot to say blogs are more interesting with pictures . . . it's time!!
ok, first of all i have to address your parents saying it is cold. Come over to Saskatchewan. -25 + wind chill. Brr..
Hi Jon. I'm excited that you started a blog. You have to make sure now that you update it on a regular basis. I hate when people create a blog and never update it. Can't wait to hear your stories and see your pics
Take care
