      UD ?

      Underdog, things that bad bro? Please don't think that way - about "self destruction"? May I enlighten you? Life is precious, even in bad times. We take this thing called "life" for granted at times.

      Think for a moment about when you wake up in the morning, and hear the birds singing...think about the smell of fresh air in your lungs...think about the sound of the ocean hitting the shore-line...think about the sound of children at play...about your strong feelings for a loved one...family...friends...

      I don't want to sound like I'm preaching, because I'm not a preacher...just a teacher.

      Take it easy my friend...

      Ronnie.

        Underdog:

        When you first came on and started telling some of your stories, I thought "This guy's a troll. He's going to start making jokes about our mothers."

        Soon I realized you were a sincere Italian guy who has come up rough and seen some sh!t that most of us here haven't. It's comfortable growing up in America for many of us, maybe too comfortable. You have seen some of the dark side of life up close, and no doubt it has left its scars on you.

        But remember, you survived, because you are a fighter. That is what you are. Maybe that is all you are. But it is enough.

        You couldn't quit, even if you wanted to. You are Underdog. Sooner or later, you will win.

          Thanks for support friends,

          The fact is that I have endured some major shit during my lifetime.

          Undercome some massive plastic surgery when I was just a teen, kinda left me with a less than pleasant appareance, I guess.

          To get revenge I worked real hard on my body, obsessively.

          Still, it hurt when you know that a girl you want to date say something like "yeah, tall guy, wonderful body, funny and smart, but....."

          You know, those are the things that really can change your mood.

          Maybe yesterday I was letting some steam off, but every now and then some sad comment push me real hard into dark side.

          However, your comments really helped, thanks again.

            No problem, paisano.

            Going through some rough times myself...

            Struggle with depression too. Maybe medication would help you? Helps me, a little. I don't stay down as long.

                Underdog,
                If you ever need someone to talk to, just e-mail me.

                  again, thank friends.

                  Duchman, I have tought to come in holland with my girlfriend, but unfortunately I have split a few days ago; maybe I'll come this summer.

                  Yella, let me know when you'll come in Italy; mind you, in summer we do a Vale tudo camp near a nice beach: why don't you come and train with us? I think I can arrange that with the head instructor.

                  Ronin, I don't think I suffer from depression; I don't have bad moods for nothing, there is ever a cause for it.

                  Drugs can't solve that; maybe temporary relief, but when the party is over, there's still to clean the house.

                    Yes, if I go to Italy for summer school, I would go to the camp for sure! But, keep in mind by July, I would only have a few months experience if all goes well. I hope novices are welcome...

                    BTW the last post you made, it made me realize that your not an invincible brawler, but very much so human and with feelings. Man, hang in there, you have your training, your strength, and your skills, I envy you and dont waste your talents and knowledge! TRAIN hard for yourself! And it doesnt matter what you look like, fighters get ALL the chicks!

                      The summer camp is open both to aspiring instructors (you must be an instructor in a martial art to join) or to students; the difference is that the instructor course is 300% harder and it's done at VERY high speed.
                      I explain better: if you are an absolute novice in martial arts maybe you can learn a punch, a takedown and a submission in an intensive week course; however if you hold, say, a black belt in TKD and some basic judo training, kicks and takedowns would be VERY easy to acquire.

                      Just let me know when you will come, the camp will be held in Rome around mid-july 2001.

                      And, hold on your chair, bro, the guest instructor will be PEDRO RIZZO and ROBERTO LEITAO from lutalivre (hoping that their schedule will permit) so try to come!

                      As far as women: maybe in Brazil wallid will get laid, and maybe even "The pedro"; here you must hide well that you fight; this is a big turnoff for womens.

                      Wanna attract girls in Italy?
                      Brad Pitt lookalike and a BMW Z3; lots of cash and promises of marriage. Absolutely no muscles and no beer belly.
                      Being a famous soccer player helps alot, also, they have ALL the best chicks here.

                      Ciao!

                        Underdog,

                        I always bet on the underdog. You know why?
                        Because even when the odds are against them, they always seem to have the most heart. We're all here for you friend.

                            Well, the way I see it, it's stupid to believe and stupid not to. There's no concrete evidence either way.

                            As for the "Prime Mover" theory, it's only a good theory if one thinks of time as having a direction. Many of the modern unified theories throw out this concept. Perhaps the universe just "is" i.e. no beginning, no end.

                              Beatle, modern science is pointing to the universe definitly having an beginning. Supposedly it's expanding, and depending on the quantity of dark matter, will either expand and freeze, or begin to reverse! One theory is that the universe will come back to its original point, and implode. Gives new meaning to he biblical phrase "I am the alpha and omega. The first and the last."

                              Just some tidbits to ponder. Don't mind me, I'm fascinated with space, and astronomy.

                                Ryu, I'm very familiar with the current theories of the universe, and there are many that do not require time to have a direction. In fact, such thoeries agree much better with experimental evidence. The Big Bang theory is flawed since it does not explain the "before". A GUT in which time has no beginning, no end, just like a circle, would represent an eloquent description of our universe. Currently the only evidence that time "moves forward" is increasing entropy, yet no one had proved a link between the two, they jusy seem to be connected.

                                Big Bang is old school, you need to bring yourself up to date with the latest thinking in the field.
