What is it to be a jiu-jitsu fighter?

Storm Giant

June 28th, 2010

I drive alone through the darkest day
As a storm rains down and it blocks my way
I cannot see and start to slip
But I’m still the captain of my ship
Because I know something storms do not
And I slayed demons when we fought
And I have scars that tell the tale
To me alone when I turn pale
And feel my heart begin to drop
Their voices will not let me stop
“You’ve seen and done much worse…” they say
“…than what you’re facing here today”
I hate the way they love to tease
My only voice at times like these
I feel no pity for the day
That sends a storm to block my way
It should have asked about me first
I’ve faced much bigger, do your worst

I just quit smoking

June 23rd, 2010

Quit smoking today. Early in the morning I finished the last 2 left in my pack from the road-trip and I called it quits.

My sister didn’t really believe me, lol.

Usually I quit when things are great and start back when things get crappy. I think I have a real good chance this time because I started when things are kinda crappy so it’s probably only going to get easier.

Glad to have done it though, I have been meaning to do this and a lot of other things since March but I was using the “buddy-system” with a procrastinator. Next stop – P90X.

Matt Meade want’s my domain

Some guy named Matt Meade is running for office and wants my domain name. Neat.

If you found this site looking for him, follow this link to his current site.

Victory!

God I love programming, debugging, and problem solving.

What a great job to complete puzzles all day.

P.S. If you work at my old job: yes, I got a new job, like the day I was laid off (because I was already looking) and I get paid more now and have better hours. No worries.

Man,,,, Jiu-Jitsu on a hard floor really sucks….

But some people just don’t know how to shut up unless you choke them…

Lung Cancer Update

June 3rd, 2010

I have had a cough since I went to Florida with Jane, so I recently got a chest x-ray to see if I had pneumonia from all the water.

Not only is it NOT pneumonia, but I actually do NOT have lung cancer despite my smoking for the better part of the last 17 years (jeez am I that old?)

Planning on quitting again soon, while I’m ahead.

Skydiving

May 29th, 2010

That was awesome. Not at all like I expected. More like total weightlessness than a rollercoaster with Gs.

Uninstall your videocard and reboot, it will get detected and reinstall when it boots up.

Took me too long to get that right answer.

Getting all made down

March 11th, 2010

…that’s what some people do instead of getting all made up.

After examining many many pictures of various people I know on Facebook, I came to the conclusion that a lot of people look better normally, indeed even “GREAT” normally, and when they decide to get all “made up” for a night out on the town or something they look WORSE than normal.

Isn’t that weird?
