Indeed, fight club is dumb

[:::PSL:::]

The ending sux. I like the fight choreography though.

Donnie Darko is one of my favourite movies, kind of like Butterfly effect, where one small change can have such dramatic effect on everybodies lives. There's supposed to be a #2 coming out taken from his sister perspective, looks pretty crap I just don't want them to wreck the first one.

I feel a little vulnerabale admitting this on an internet forum, but there was a time in my life I could identify with the fight club movie.

Followeing the deaths of two close friends in a traffic accident and the death of my Grandmother, who cared from me all of my early life while my mother was in hospital, boxing helped me through. Physically taking punishment and administering pain of my own helped me to cope and although I assume it wasn't the best therapy I did work.

The weird thing was that feeling the pain was better than dishing it out.
I thought I was a freak, until a friend (another boxer) who was out for 6 months coonfided in me saying "I can't wait to get hit in the face."


We're weird animals.

Thanks for sharing Donny, but you are defently not alone; i'm sure a lot of people use boxing as a therapy. Personally it helped me emensly for reasons I am ashamed of, but boxing helped me get through. Getting hit especially, I used to say to myself if I can deal with getting bruised and bloody I can get over this and I did.

I can relate man, strange isn't it?

I know now that I look back at it, just swapping emotional pain for physical pain. But I know I couldn't have done it any other way, which is one of the reasons I love this sport so much.
