According to ESPN, so are curling and fishing. And badmintion.
If curling is a sport, then chess is a sport.
If fishing is a sport, then grilling steaks should be one also. I get about the same amount of exercise from both. And usually drink about as much, too.
So is horseshoes a sport?
I can’t ballroom dance. You wanna start handing out Olympic medals to them?
I’m starting a new thread.
Just to clear it up for everyone, they have professional level:
Bowling
darts
shuffle board
go kart racing
video game championships (best quake player lives in my hometown makes over 60k/year playing video games, and has won over 100k before in a tournament, and still lives in his parents basement, hahahahaha)
bache (sp?)
card playing (gambling)
All of those have sponsors, have a following, and have world championship tournaments. I have seen this stuff on ESPN 2 before and most of it goes down in vegas, go figure.
As for your relationship, let someone who has experience but bad luck give you some advice. You are 20 yrs old, man. Go out have fun, enjoy your youth. I am 24yrs old now and have gone through several relationships. I am a victim of bad timing. Everytime I meet a girl that is worth the investment for long term relationships something always goes wrong. They get a new job and move out of state, I get a new job and our shcedules conflcit, they go back to school, whatever. All my good relationships never ended badly, they just ended due to bad timing.
So, my advice to you is, go out and get drunk and party with your friends. Because sooner or later all of you will get married and you will not be able to hang out and party every night like you did before. A few of my friends are married now and I hardly ever see them. So, my advice to you is to have fun while you are young and while you can. You got all the time in the world to date women, and eventually you might find the right one, and if the timing is right then you will be good to go. I would concentrate more on having a good time before you get old, married, and have kids. I have been single for the last 2 years (casualy dating a few ladies here and there) and it has been a pretty good last two years with no responsibilties and no one to worry about but myself.
Then again, some people just need to be in relationships.
Also I forgot to mention that I’m constantly kicking, punching, sweeping and locking my wife, her freinds, her family and so on, which seems to be having a detrimental effect on our relationship. I keep trying to explain to her that it’s not out of anger, but like Bruce Lee, I’m constantly training, even when I’m not!
Tell that to the judge.
are you referring to yourself in the third person now? 
Lol, no I’m talking about the judge presiding over your indictment or divorce.
I think thats what got me. All my mates are constantly getting in and out of relationships whereas I’m not bothered (other than when my mates are busy).
I think I’m going to leave this relationship before it gets too heavy - you guys are right, she does seem high maintenance. It wont be long until summers on its way - i always love being single in the summer!
It will total any chances you have of developing a “normal” relationship. I decided that I would make sure and let any woman I get involved with that they would come second to my training. Needless to say this doesnt go over to well with them. I have not been in a serious relationship for over 5 years. LOL, I just learned to deal with it, and train harder.
It is a choice you have to make. I was faced with the same situation - my wife would not marry me until she was priority one. She was happy to accept how important my training is to me, but needed to know that if she really needed me then she would come first. I did not think that was unreasonable and made the changes in my life that I had to make. It is just a question of what is more important to you.
If you ever say anything like this to my wife, I’ll have to kill you.
Like, when do I get to talk to your wife?
Well, I guess whenever you aren’t around
Seriously though, the ironic thing is that once she was convinced that she was top priority in my life, she got a lot more relaxed about the time I spent training. I swear I will never understand women.
Indeed.
I swear I will never understand women.
Ain’t that the truth. And the reason why I’m still awake.
My enthusiasm for relationships has effected my martial arts training.
Martial arts wants me all the time, but really, I prefer *****.
This topic has been around for so long and is so swollen you can see it from space.
