Never Thought The Day Would Come When I'd See My Reflection Smiling Right Back At Me. It's Been A While Since I've Been Happy
Devil is fucking tired at the moment...but it's been well worth it. It's been a regular weekend where He's gone out...partied...and attended more social events in one night than some people could month.
On Saturday morning, I work up at 0630 like I normally do, and went swimming at about 0700. At 0800 I finished up and headed over to the other pools were I started teaching at 0830.
I know it goes against everything that I stand for...but I love teaching these kids how to swim. They're between the ages of 5 and 12 and they're all just so...I don't know how to put it into words. There are good kids...and there are bad kids and I like dealing with them all. I like the ones that tell me useless stories about what they did at school and just won't just up. I like the ones that are scared to even look at me and cry when I call out their name. I like the ones that won't listen and piss me off and I like the ones that do exactly what I tell them to do. Plus I get tohold them underwater "encourage submersion techniques"
After teaching, I got home at about 1200...had something quickly to eat then headed to the train station to catch the train into the city where I was meeting up with The Protege at 1330. I actually don't mind public transport so much now because I don't need to use it every day (and it was the weekend as well) but it actually gave me time to work on my Personal Training journal and organise my weekly workouts that would otherwise impose on my time.
Our first stop was the piercing place so that he could get a few more additions for his eyebrow piercings. Unfortunately for the both of us...the girl that was working there last week was working there again this week...and recognised us...and yeah...well the fact that we were there together AGAIN really didn't help us all that much so you can imagine how the conversation in the piercing place took a dive after the two of us walked in.
From there we walked a few blocks to the nearby Harbour Town to do some shopping. The first thing we did when we got there was get a fruit smoothie. The Protege got the same flavour smoothie as me.
We then went looking in clothing stores and I have to admit, I was quite surprised with some of the The Protege's fashion choices (and I don't mean that in the bad way either). He's definitely got his own style but for a tradesman...he's got a lot of class when it comes to clothing and he knows what looks good. We browsed around for a while and bought a couple of t-shirts at one of the stores. The Protege got a simliar t-shirt to me.
After we browsed through the other shops a bit more, we then headed a back to the centre of the metropolis and headed our separate ways. By this time it was about 1600 and on the way back to The Underworld I stopped off at the bakery at the nearby shopping centre to pick up some dessert for the Christmas BBQ that I was attending that night. By the time I arrived back at the Underworld it was about 1630 and I still had to have a shower and get dressed before trying to get to the BBQ by 1800.
Anyway...after a quick shower, I had planned on wearing a red shirt that I hadn't worn since earlier this year (possibly around March). It didn't fit...and I was DEVESTATED! I've become fatter since March and and the shirt that I tried to wear was now WAY too tight and I almost wanted to cry. It was a REALLY nice shirt and it was a tailored fit...and now...it makes me look disgustingly fat. It took me another 45 minutes to put together another outfit that I was happy with and that didn't make me look like a fat disgusting cow.
I arrived at the BBQ at about 1845 and it was being held by the fitness instructor and her fiance that I've become friends with over the year. Due to time constraints though, I was only able to stay for a couple of hours before heading into The Nightlife district to meet up with The Protege (again) and a few other climbers before jumping from club to club. Over the course of the night we were able to go to a couple of clubs before the majority of the other climbers went home and The Protege and I were the only ones left.
By about midnight we had been to a total of 5 clubs and were getting hungry so we headed over to The Moon for some of their Nachos (mental note: The Moon Nachos is enough to feed 3 people!). At about 0045, The Protege caught a taxi home and I went back to one of the night clubs to meet up with The Crew.
One of The Crew members is going away overseas over Christmas and New Year's so they had decided to meet up at one of the nightclubs. My fuck-head minion (brother) had initially asked me if I was going out to meet up with them but when I told him that I was already going out to another party before hand and that he'd have to make his own way there...he said he couldn't be bothered going out that late at night. Funnily enough...The Crew couldn't be bothered caring where he was at and to be quite honest...the fact that he's isolating himself from The Crew makes things a lot easier for me because he's not that well liked amongst The Crew to begin with.
At about 0200, The Crew left that club to head to another one a couple of blocks away. I walked with them to the club to make sure they got there ok but I didn't actually go in. By the time I got back to The Underworld it was about 0300 and I managed to sleep in until about 1030 on the Sunday morning before I had to get up to teach the fat kids at 1200 and go off for my own training.
I'm so fucking tried right now...but you know what...I wouldn't want to change that for anything.
Even though my fuck-head minion (brother) is being a total fuck-wit (as if he could be anything else) and the religiousness of Christmas is fast approaching and I'm feeling tired right now, I feel like I'm ready and stronger than I ever have before. I feel like even in my current tired state...I could take on the world because I've got me some serious new amour...I'm balanced...and I think I'm happy...or at the very least I'm looking for something / anything to try out this new armour on.
I'm feeling fucking invincible!!

Character Profile
[The Protege]
- Was not acknowledge by me as a climber or a member of the climbing group until almost 4 months of climbing on his own.
- Was taught a large majority of his climbing technique by The Belayer.
- Was almost killed the first time he went outdoor climbing with The Belayer because he was too "green."
- Has been compared to me (as a climber) by others, in relation to his dedication to climbing and the climbing group...and the fact that he attends the climbing gym almost every day.
- Has filled a large part of the void that has been left by The Belayer since his recent involvement in a relationship.
