So My Blog Has Been Found

One of my trusted wings, and great friend, Joker, stumbled upon this great blog (of 1 entry!) and suggests I should start posting more, and really document my growth as a person. He's right, I think this will help me in my personal growth. So let's document what I have been up to....

December - Started going out, it sucked. I had no idea what I was doing and I wasn't getting anywhere. I was however, talking to strangers, which I never thought I would be able to in my life. I was able to run really basic openers, and the goal was to open without creeping people out or being threatening at all. Although I was able to accomplish that, in retrospect that didn't really develop my core being. I met some great people while I was at it though (props to Shiznites - the one that dubbed me "Martyr").

January - late March - Didn't go out. No idea what I was doing other than vegetating. I basically wasted my time. I think it went from keyboard jockeying to computer games to just being depressed. I started going to the gym a little bit, and it made me feel good, but I lacked the discipline to keep up a good routine of it.

Late March - Early June - Ran into Shiznites randomly one night when I went out drinking with an old friend. He had found some new wings to hang out with, some of them seemed cool, some not so much, but he got me excited to go out again, and he invited me to join him with his new friends. Amoung them were Raven and Warlock. We were all new to this whole pickup thing, but we cared for it, and we had fun trying to learn it. I learned that Warlock had been writing field reports which included me at www.nycsargeteam.com, this is where I became a "community guy". I started meeting some new people who would soon become friends. One of these friends was Joker. Joker and I met at a "newbie sarge", an event where more experienced guys invited a bunch of newbies.
