I thoroughly enjoyed this past weekend. Friday night, I saw a Renegade cage match in Austin with a bunch of the guys from highschool. If you don’t know what they are, cage matches have two fighters pitted against each other in an octagon ring, 8′ in diameter, with a steel cage surrounding the entire thing. Fighters are allowed to punch, kick, and simply beat the hell out of their opponents. The only limitations are 4oz knuckle gloves and no bighting. It goes without saying that the bouts prove to be very bloody. It was awesome!

On Saturday I had planned an evening out with my friend Lauren for Valentine’s day. She came over around 8:30pm, dressed to kill. We dined at P. F. Chang’s China Bistro in Austin. The food was excellent, and the conversation even better. Afterwards we drove over to Mt. Bonnell, a known romantic outlook over all of Austin. My date was charming and the evening exquisite…

Then today we all went out and bought kites! Throwing back to our elementary years, we flew kites out at the fraternity house. I kept adding string up to 1,250 feet; I think that should be some kind of local record. Anyways, I blew off the whole day flying kites, skateboarding, and playing football.
