WORLD OF RAWR

I've been jonesing for a roll like none other recently, but thought I'd put a note here about doing scary things.

Currently, I have.... I think it's like 16 past opponents or so and nothing brings opponents to you faster than having some. That said, much like you'd see in something like Kenichi, the more you do, the more you will want to do and the greater the challenges will be that find you.

For me, this seems to be coming at an accelerated rate in a lot of ways. I might be rolling with MuscChamp in a couple of weeks. He's a lot older than me, very well exercised, and has a ton of experience.

I had MississippiJock talk about possibly planning a match.

That's scary (In fact, I'd almost say terrifying, but my intense curiosity and eagerness for the experience prevents me from going that far). I don't think any of you have met me in person, but I'm not as big or muscular or [fill in the blank] as any of these people...

...but this is where I have to either step up and be the wrestler (or whatever else) I am going to become and rise to the challenge or be afraid forever.

Considering how little there actually is to be afraid from anyone you'd actually meet here, I'd say that fear is mostly illogical and robbing me (and maybe you) of what could be the beginning or furthering of something wonderful: more strength, more community awareness, bonding, friends, comrades... you know, the things we originally came here for.

So if you're not doing scary things, do them:

• Exchange the contact info.
• Get on a plane.
• Rent the hotel room.
• Plan the vacation (yes, just to meet and wrestle people).

Just.
Go.
Already.

And while you're at it, snap a photo.
