Had to do something that wasn't very nice today. I had a friend who is not very emotionally stable, and I tried to be accomodating to her and be what I thought was a good friend. Well, as good a friend as I felt capable of being, since I'm not what she needs. She truly needs to seek help, but refuses on the grounds that she hates taking pills, even ( Read more... )

A little update on me. Training has been going well, I've stripped down to a very basic routine on Monday, Wednesday, and sparring at Khoury's on Friday, along with my conditioning and yoga daily. Started to modify my diet to increase my energy, and starting to see some benefits from that as well. My new routine has become just retraining the very ( Read more... )

So, now that I've decided to recommit myself to my old school Muay Thai training, I've had to really get back to basics. Hit the dojo yesterday, and got to use the makawara board. It's going to be a huge repeat of when I first started training at East-West, and you all have no idea how insanely happy that makes me. My right elbow is blown up, I ( Read more... )

So, 2007 just started and I've already had my first breakup of the year. Gretchen and Dawn (Matt's girlfriend), didn't get along. That's fine, it's not like I particularly care if they become best friends, whatever. My two sister in laws can't stand each other, and I don't pay any mind to that either. However, Gretchen made the error of presuming ( Read more... )

So Saturday was testosterone heaven for me and the fellas. The day began with Corey, Matt, Ken, and myself going to the shooting range and running through about two hundred rounds apiece. Ken had never shot before, and he was even more like a giant five year old than normal. Then, Corey, Matt, and myself retired to the dojo, because the heavy bag ( Read more... )

So work called me when I got home. Not my area, but Production Support. They're desperate for someone who is familiar with both Check and Deposit Services to come in on Christmas Day and oversee some things with IEX. Normally my response to this would be to tell them to die in a fire, however, as I started to say it, Doug promised me triple time, ( Read more... )

So today I went to the dojo, and spent about an hour getting back to basics. There is something wrong with my stance, and minus the camcorder, I can't figure out what it is. After doing my shadow fighting routines lately (I call it that because I include takedowns) I've noticed that my right knee is aching, and the muscles along the outside of my ( Read more... )

So normally I put all of my A list material on MySpace, and most of the crumbs of my genius fall back to LJ. I'm thinking that might change, since most of the poeple who read my blog on MySpace are folks I've never met, nor have I even spoken to most of them. Most of my readers over there are people that my friend Chris referred to me, and they ( Read more... )

The days of Dave submitting to Trouser Tyranny are over! No more will Little Dave and the boys be troubled with confining crotches! Clan Campbell tartans have arrived, freeing my nards from unneeded cloth constraints ( Read more... )
