What lies ahead for the future?

Have you ever thought about doing something people couldn't ever see you doing? Have you ever felt that you wanted to do something different, something that would really pump your blood, something, you feel, is actually worth learning? Over the last year or so I've watched UFC religiously. The technical aspects of this sport really intrigue me and have led me to learn things on my own little by little. Former light heavyweight UFC champion, Chuck Liddell, started me on this feeling of new discovery. Watching him fight was amazing. Watch a fight and look into the eyes of the fighters. They are no longer themselves, they are something else...something more.  For a brief period, it's two Gods fighting in an octagon surrounded by mortals. We, the audience, stare in awe and amazement at the things they do; the slipping and sliding, the bombs thrown using just their hands, the positions they put themselves into with perfect execution, the fire burning inside them for, at most, 25min.

I am not a fighter, nor have I ever been, but I want to be. I have a plan. Some feedback about this would be helpful. I love writing, but I have another fantasy, to learn Mixed Martial Arts. Why can't I put those two together? What I want to do is take mixed martial arts classes next semester for one semester and write about my experiences. The good, the bad, and even the ugly (I'll post any bruises I get). It is definitely 4:30am but I just had to write for a little bit, and now I have.
