Today was the day of the bigger summer blowout, a huge event held every year down on the beach, one that I'd always dreamt of going to, and one that garnered a whole lot of interest from a wide array of different people, and something that had brought all walks of life together just for the hell of it. And by god was it amazing; the partying, the people the events! I must've spent half the day just wandering around taking it all in! Seeing it up close and personal was so very different from the Snapchat stories, and Instagram posts of those who actually went, and living it was so much better!
As the day rolled on, and the more, family-friendly events came to an end, the crowd started to disperse, and the more juvenile people were left to enjoy the facilities in their own ways. Events came to life that was frowned upon in the wake of children and families, alcohol came out, the clubbing vibe crept in, mosh-pits became bountiful, and all sorts of other events. But the one that always drew the biggest crowd was the boxing ring, erected in the middle of the event, safely out of the eyes of those not attending and therefore the public kept complaints to a minimum. But this ring invited any and all fighters, with any experience into its open arms, and encouraged the full-blown boxing experience, none of this pansy-assing around.
I was never the person to usually seek out a fight, I would never back down, but never seek out... but that person stayed at home today; and as people were looking for volunteers to kick the night off, what better way than to get up into the ring first... at least that way attention may not be as fully-flushed out if I embarrass myself... and there will still be plenty of alcohol left afterward to tend to the wounds of whomever else decides to climb in.
Pushing my way through the crowd, which is already much larger than I expected, I manage to make my way to the side of the ring and yelling, grab the attention of the self-proclaimed announcer in the center of the ring;
"I'll give it a go, I'll step up in the first fight of the night!" I call out, a mischevious smile on my face, determined to live tonight to it's fullest potential.
All I am greeted with is a warm smile as he holds the ropes apart from me, and I climb up into the ring. Standing on the surprisingly sturdy canvas, I can't see much of the crowd, as bright white lights flood the center from above every corner. I can feel the heat of the lights against my skin, my orange thong bikini radiating in the light as cheers erupt around the crowd as a second fighter is sought out.
I can hardly take it all in, lost in the center of the ring currently, nothing to focus on except the noise, blinding light, and the seemingly endless crowd spewing out around me...
This is the biggest stage I've ever done anything on... and I've never been one to seek out disappointment!
