Thanks guys. I'm thinking and hoping it happens mid 2016. I'm trying to save some money and doing some research, because at the time I only have a tourist visa so I have to fix that, and also how expensive it is over there and stuff. Any particular info I should check out? It's not too expensive but if you're trying to get a place in say San Francisco that's when it becomes a battle not worth fighting. I know people who say the rent is like $3K/mo. That's insane. I don't know where you can check out info but I'll definitely look and get back to you on that. Thanks buddy, I'm super excited for this! |

Yeah definitely dont go for SF, or really any main bay area cities. You get your money in the surrounding cities and suburbs. Only thing is, you may be training in the city so there's the commuting aspect. Sacramento, like durt mentioned, may be pretty cheap and they have mma and etc.
My advice to you is look up where you want to train, then look into surrounding cities.

Whatever let me know if I'm hard on this board I guess I have to leave. Like I told you on FB, for someone who trolled EVERYONE on this board for a long time, you sure can't take a joke. A really soft joke at that. Stop being so sensitive. No one said you had to leave. You certainly need to have some thicker skin though if you're going to act the way you do on here...or used to. We're all happy you're okay. I'm correct in assuming that if you're taking time to post on an internet message board, you're okay...right? |

Yeah, Sacramento seems like the best option from what I've gotten so far, and they have a great place to train. I'll keep digging though. Thanks you guys. |

Perhaps I'm feeling a bit sentimental tonight, but I wanted to share something with everyone now that my time as booker has concluded.
A few years ago, I started dating a wonderful girl who had a young daughter (10 months old at the time). This was the reasoning behind my first leave from the site. I was happy, truly happy for the first time in my life. I was madly in love with both of them, and over the years I helped raise the little girl. They became my home. My mind and affections were always with them no matter where I was. I decided to ask the girl to marry me (the actual photo is on page 7 of this thread). She said yes and everything I ever wanted was all falling into place.
About two years ago, over the course of one month, things started turning bad and I had no control. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop the course of things. First, she asked me to call off the wedding. She began panicking and felt that she wasn't ready. Then she left me, and took her daughter away. I would find out shortly thereafter that she began sleeping with someone new the very next day.
I was crushed. I'm not proud of how dark things got for me. I would try to sleep the days away, often hoping that I wouldn't wake up. I had medication that would stabilize me, just so that I could feel nothing.
I'm not writing all of this as a sob story, or asking for pity. I want to use this as a means to thank you all. When they left, I lost my sense of "home." When I came back to this silly little site with these wonderful people and this obscure hobby of ours, I regained a little sense of home. I know I wasn't (and am still not) always the easiest guy to deal with. I'm stubborn and have very defined opinions on things. But the way everyone accepted me back and just allowed me to be Beej from MVZ again was instrumental in my actual real life. Whether it's old friends like AD and J-Roc, or new friends like HTW and Bless, or guys I didn't get along with like Pick and HRay - being involved with everyone again brought me back from the brink.
I was in a bad way when I came back. Next Monday will be two years since she left and I sort of lost my will. I'm happy to say now that I'm doing well, and MVZ is a big part of that. So for all of you wonderful editors, and better yet - human beings, thank you! It's impossible to know what someone behind the computer screen faces on a daily basis, but in the daily minutia of chatting about wrestling and arguing over diva videos and editing technique, I felt secure again.
I'm not going anywhere right now, and I don't really have any special reasoning for posting this today - I just felt a sense of urgency to let you all know.
I love you. Thank you for keeping MVZ active, and great. Just being you can mean the difference to someone.

Glad to read you're doing better beej. As weird as it is, it feels very safe to write about things good and bad here, in this virtual place with people I've not yet shared a handshake. It's weird but it's awesome.
We're here for you buddy.
Edit:
On that note, I should probably tell you guys, about that "time off" I'm in with my gf... It sucks. I've been trying to kill time here and there, but it's so hard. Those who've known me for a long time, you guys know I'm not a soldier about this stuff, I'm pretty weak.
I had some hope she'd miss me soon and call on me, but it's not happened. And I'm starting to doubt if it will anytime.
