Stayin' in touch with the TP Community and helping them out with your experience, knowledge and resources are important, too, 'Lixir. That's why Canadian Dude was such a great first choice. I oughta know, as I still have his handprint on my ass from the spanking he gave me in the voting...
Seriously, good luck, Elixir. Hopefully your avatar doesn't keel over of a heart attack from the pumping he's been giving that stuffed animal for the last couple weeks...

If you got a spank'n, then I got down right beat to death by the two of ya's!

well, id like to reply to a lot of questions that people ask but it seems like id be going over everyone elses helmet (spaceballs, anyone?). after all, aside friom a bunch of hiking weekend getaways, i have never traveled before. does that make it wrong for me to answer questions, do you think?
i know on other message boards i have gone on, people hate a noob giving advice or anything. you have to get about 10000 posts on sherdog or dragonslist for anyone to give you some respect

you could say that...
i have been taking kung fu for three years next month, tai chi for about 2 years, and i have been kickboxing for 2 years. i had this crazy passion for it until recently, and it has been kind of sliding since then. kickboxing is great but it is asking a lot to be punched and kicked in the face like that. i dontmind but it gets annoying sometimes when you cant see straight and your head is full of rocks.
and i love watching MMA. makes me all kinds of warm inside
