What a Ridiculous Score

I played Slo-Pitch tonight and we lost 31-26. What makes it even funnier is there is a 5 run limit per inning until the 9th. So there were a few 5 run innings in there.

That’s like the score at halftime of an NCAA basketball game!

I turned 25 Today

I guess that means I’m a real adult now? I still feel 13, but with a lot more responsibility.

Assuming I go ahead with Jiu Jitsu

I will have acquired a set of interesting skills over the last year and a bit. Last summer I learned to ride a horse and I’ll be doing more of that in the next few months. I started archery a couple weeks ago. And now I might be taking martial arts.

Guess I’m becoming a Samurai…

or Batman sans gadgets.

Jiu Jitsu

I’m contemplating enrolling at a place a 2 minute walk away from my place. I’ve batted around the idea of taking self defense classes for a little while now.

But is this the best route to go? Anyone out there who practices martial arts than can give me some insight?

The membership is $100 a month which is a lot, but I would be prepared to make sacrifices in other areas of my life to be able to afford going.

The also offer three styles so I am lost on which discipline I’d even want to try first.

Weight of the Nation

Is anyone else watching parts 3 and 4 tonight?

I watched part 1 last night and part 2 this morning. Wow. For a bunch of weight related health issues (hypertension, diabetes) you don’t even have to be incredibly heavy for those issues to show up.

In many cases, these issues show up in individuals that are only considered overweight by 5%  (they use BMI as their standard which isn’t 100% accurate as we all know). So even though I’m maintaining a ~7% weight loss, I’m very much still at risk for those diseases because of my family history.

Time to work a lot harder.

Make sure you put as much good food in your stomach as you do in your fridge.

Great Game Today!

It’s the end of the regular season and we closed it out with our highest offensive output of the season with 45 pts. We’re riding a 6 game winning streak into the playoffs.

It would be really nice to have another shot at the championship!

Damn You, Rice Cooker

Every time it switches from “cook” to “warm” it scares the hell out of me because of how loud it is.

This has been a post.

Brief but overdue Archery update

I had my first lesson on Tuesday and it was amazing. It’s really not interesting to describe the lesson. We shot for an hour from about 20ft away. The focus was to get the drawing technique down.

I was incredibly terrible to start but after some instruction I steadily improved.
