I think bestfightodds sold all of our emails to this bruce lee spammer. they will pay for this.

[SPX]

Generally I delete any emails that look like they might be selling something unless I signed up for it. I never signed up for anything to do with Bruce Lee so I glanced at one of them and it just had a link to a website and a brief rundown of "his story, told by YOU" on it. I'm a fan of Bruce and all he did for martial arts and even his work of honing the human body with techniques unheard of at the time. I just didn't sign up for anything and thought it might be a scam, they didn't explain what it was in the email I looked at.

When I saw the "as told by YOU" part, I thought it would be some shit where I somehow got to participate. I don't know what the fuck Frank Mir or Miguel Torres has to do with ME. So that was a little disappointing.

I'm going to see my dying friend.

Is your friend really dying?

That's the word on the street.

that sucks man.

He's not trolling you , me and him talked about it a while ago

[SPX]

that sucks man.

Yeah, it sucks. Cancer. But I'm hoping the doctors are wrong about how serious it is.

I have considered getting a personal training cert several times. I just haven't had the money to buy all the study materials and shit.

Yeah, it's expensive. But I guess it will pay off in the long run. I am getting one of the best ones so the most expensive option for all the materials is around $700 :(

I have to disagree with this.

I really regret not going to a university when I was younger and living it up. Don't let it interfere with your education, but enjoy your youth while you have it.

I definitely see what Luke is saying, but I think I will be able to be smart about things. I'm not a ruhtard.

The community college here doesn't have a film program that will transfer so I'm basically having to wait on all that until I get to the U.

It sucks because I'm ready to get on with it and make some fucking movies.

I wanna help write movies with you X. I am serious breh breh

I didnt mean dont have fun at all I meant dont be drunk Mon-Friday at the bar when you should be studying .

And I want pics poopoo

Pics of what? My poopoo?

I know I've looked at the NASM. I've looked at all the major ones. I'm hoping to hit my physical goals about this time next year so maybe I'll try to get certified around the same time.

Let me know how it all goes. I'm curious what your experience is going to be like.

Oh yeah? You got any ideas?

For sure. I am sure the experience in getting the certification will be a lot of self teaching/time consuming shit to pass the test. Then after that hopefully it's $$$$$$

I'll brainstorm a little more. I want to write a book one day though. Probably get started soon and work on it for awhile.

Word. I know you have to get CPR certified, too.

I don't think I could ever be a full-time trainer, though. It would suck to have to spend hours a day in the gym doing the same shit over and over.

That's interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that about you.

I have a few ideas for some short films. I have some ideas for some feature-length stuff too, but it would cost a lot of money to produce them.

I'd also like to do a documentary.

The biggest problem is that I just don't have anyone to work with. I've had a few friends who claimed to be interested in making films, but at the end of the day, considering that none of us were trained, they weren't up for putting in the hours that it takes to figure all the shit out.

Yeah, I am going to get my CPR certification ASAP. As soon as I can find out where/when I can do it I will do it so I don't have to do anything last minute. I also have to get my AED certification before I can take the test as well. I don't really want to work out of a gym full time. I guess I will start out at a gym (most likely, but maybe not) to get started, but I would like to have more of a side business for personal training. And I'm not sure about it being the same thing over and over, because each client for the most part will have different goals.

Yeah, the thing with the film industry is that you have to get lucky. There are tons of people out there that are actually ambitious about being screenwriters/producers/etc, but it's so hard to "hit it big".

[poopoo333]

$70 to get my CPR and AED certifications in one 3 hour class. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Well good luck. Like I said, let me know how it goes.

I really have no hope of ever "making it big" or working within the Hollywood studio system. I'd just like to make my own small, self-financed films that I could hopefully find a indie distributor for and make my money back.
