For your amusement

After getting a note from my friend about this, I realized this is for your amusement as well as mine, or maybe that's just if you know both people growing up!

You know how fun it can be to have a blast from the past hit you, like when you run into an old friend you haven't seen in years. Well thanks to facebook, I get these more often than our great ancestors of the non-digital world. I don't really get on facebook much, mostly just if someone friends me or if I get a personal note. Such a thing happened and I got an invite with this title:

"Caged Vengeance 8" sent you a message on Facebook...

What in the world is "Caged Vengeance 8" you may ask. I would have asked too, but I had a pretty good idea what it meant, and I couldn't resist taking a peak. It's this
Yep, cage fighting. And apparently this is like the championships or something and that guy in there--not the one in the suit, the fighter, is a guy I used to date in high school. You should know right now that I didn't date much before Josh, I had 3 boyfriends before him and they were mostly short lived, this one included. Three of the four boyfriends, including Josh, were all started by needing a date to a dance, so I suppose thank goodness schools have dances. I hardly dated outside those boyfriends too, which makes looking at my past all the more fun.

I hesitated putting pics of him up here, so I tried to edit him a little for privacy, but I'm pretty sure based on his facebook page he's more looking for the public eye, so I think he'd be happy to get more publicity! I'll omit his name just to be safe. Oh, and I chose to include this pic because it shows the best one of his tattoo across his chest without it being one of his more, um, loving the work he's done on himself shots.

Josh and I were thoroughly enjoying ourselves going through these, and I esp liked this one because at first I thought his tattoo said, "Breakable," and I was like, " What was he thinking??" I think that would have really been a better one though after some consideration because it could be great reverse psychology for his opponents, you know?


I was dating him when he got his first tattoo, a bright orange tiger on his back. He was at my house and showed my family, I made fun of it, mostly because I thought it was a dumb thing to do but secretly I thought, wow, someone really ripped him off, this looks like it was pulled from a coloring book from Aladdin--I'm guessing you don't have a lot of choices to go to when you live in Dresden, Ohio (basket capital of the world with enough senior citizen tourists to rival southern Florida)--that basket below is an office building.

So there you have it. I mostly just found it amusing that I dated both him and Josh, you know because they're so much alike. And just so I don't give the wrong impression, this guy is a really decent guy, he just has some strong personal interests I have found thoroughly enjoyable for some brief entertainment. I'm glad to see that he's no longer pushing people around in the halls of the school and instead doing it in a cage, where people pay to see him and the person he's pushing around wants to be there. And they get to pick cool names for themselves, and who wouldn't? Look at spiderman.

Q: Any of your old boyfriends turn into something "fun" or "surprising?" (and honestly, this guy doesn't fall into the surprise category.)
