I think it is safe to say that, all things considered, this weekend was not only absolutely awesome, but much needed. Did a lot of training and learned a lot at the Viking Training weekend, as in shield walls, shield bergs, and a general smattering of various weapons exercises. And yeah, we all took a few hits, and most people's shoulders and arms were sore as all Hell at the end, but it was awesome.
Oh, and for the record, even blunted arrows hurt...a lot. Took one to the kneecap, and another to the upper leg. Ow.
Also, hung out with friends and stuff a lot, caught up on a lot with people I haven't seen in a while. Also came to realize a couple things. Like that this year is probably the last I'll be visiting the high school in. When I went there this time, it finally dawned on me that more teachers know me that students, and the ones that do are all friends. My reputation that I worked so hard to bild and hold, is no longer recognized.
In short, as hard as it is to admit, I must move on.
Also realized that there is a lot of opportunity to fuck things up in life, and in so many different ways. I didn't, and I never knowingly will, because it's just not worth it. I'm still all for helping friends and chilling out and all that good stuff, but I am older, in love with an amazing (and amazingly hot) woman, and I have to see to my own life as well. Just something I felt I had to say.
Diane, I hope you read this, because you are completely, totally, and in every way the best part of my life. I love you a whole Helluva lot...you rock my socks off.
And with that, I'm signing out. Cheers to all,
Danylo
