Update.
I'm losing my faith in humanity, it seems.
When I was younger, I could talk to someone and see their potential in how they carried themselves, and through the struggles they related in the conversation. I can't remember the last time someone actually impressed me, sadly. Either we're all content for settling for mediocrity, or age has taken it's toll on me.
Life is going well despite my prior complaint. Chloe and I are getting married July 22nd, and we'll be moving into our first house soon. It's a simple 2 bed, 1 1/2 bath with a modest backyard and deck. The house was originally built in 1932, but was remodeled from 2004-2010. We bought it for a reasonable price, and should be moved in by the end of the month, God willing. We're getting the house 90% furnished, which is why its an exceptional deal. The appliances are all updated, high end models, but the furniture is antique. I love the juxtaposition of it. Our possessions are already boxed up in our tiny rent house living room, just waiting to be moved. I hate moving, but I don't think i'll mind too badly this time.
My progress at the gym is coming along nicely. I'm not packing muscle as much as I would like, but that's the burden of being a mesomorph. I can hold fat and water weight like a champ, but packing muscle is a slow project. Finding the balance from eating enough to support muscle growth and not overeating is also difficult. MMA is going well also. My jui jitsu has developed nicely, and my striking has improved drastically. My boxing is still weak, but i'm doing plenty of damage landing solid body and head kicks.
Another bit of good news is that I made a 95% on my EMS entrance exam. After I pass the interview phase, I'll be in the EMT program starting august. Words cannot describe how excited I am. Getting married, our first real home, and starting my career. What a summer this will be...
