I started in college, hitting it hard for fun and just to push it. After starting "real life", things lagged and so did I. When things finally settled down, I got back into it and haven't stopped since.

The gym is the only place I get angry. It's my release. Some go to church, some pray, some do drugs, some hire hookers. I pay $35 a month to go in and damage myself, and occasionally the equipment or floor.
