What's that?

It's a two day ride (bicycle) from Duluth to the twin cities. It's not a race or anything, just a charity ride for the MS Society to help people with Multiple Sclerosis.

Wow! Thats impressive! I wouldn't mind doing something like that if I knew I wouldn't drop dead after the first 3 hours! That's really cool, man!

AJ · 01-03-2006

I'd do it if it was all down hill!

Make a dent in my debt
Run a 10 second pass
Save some money for a down payment on a house

Not likely

IneedaGSX · 01-04-2006

Graduate from dunwoody and start working out again.

TheBlizzard · 01-04-2006

I only have one.

Start using some of my skills and experiences to help others.

Explanation:

As some of you know I have boxed for about 16 years now. I used to fight out of numerous gyms up in Duluth, and the the local VFW/Moose Clubs in Duluth. It was a great experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world. But with all the good, a lot of bad came with that as well. To make long story short I was basically forced to move down to the cities because of all the trouble I was getting in up in Duluth. The fellow boxers I hung around were always in fights and trouble and were going nowhere fast. So I left, best move I ever made hands down.

For two years now I have taken some time off from the gym to clear my head. But now I have decided to go back and start mentoring younger kids that are up and coming in the same sport. I have talked to numerous former golden gloves boxers other than myself that do this as well and they tell me the benefits are endless. Prevention at a early age is key. Discipline is one thing, but experiences learned from others is priceless.

I think if I had somebody like this back when I was younger that had experienced some of the things that I have went through it would have changed a lot of things for me. My dad was instrumental in my growth and did as much as he could, but ultimately it was the group of so called friends that I hung around that led me down a path to fail.

The gyms I am going to be most likely working at are:

Upper Midwest Golden Gloves
Uppercut Gym
Circle of Discipline

The program basically consists of just hanging out with inter city kids that don't have role models around them. Whether its going to the gym with them, taking them to Mcdonalds, or whatever. Just spending time with them and letting them know that there is somebody that cares about them goes a long way.

If there is anybody else that is interested in doing something like this, there are many other organizations that need people to mentor young kids in the twin cities area. Send me a PM and I will help as much as I can.

(whipes forehead) Damn being all sensitive has taken it out of me.

Shotgun! · 01-04-2006

Stab someone in the face.
Be the best person I can for those that have been there for me.
Make friends and family proud.
Suffer more than I ever have.

IneedaGSX · 01-04-2006

Why would you want to stab someone in the face?

AJ · 01-04-2006

He wants to be original within the group.

niterydr · 01-04-2006

LMAO Reid you are great!

AJ · 01-04-2006

I wouldn't mind having a little something for the cookout this year as well, but that's a far cry right now.
