It has been quite some time since I have blogged about anything...my life has been littered with traveling, work, fishing, and other random crap.Guitar Hero and Rock Band activity has been slow and somewhat limited to drunken gatherings at our new place. I'll probably play this weekend for our EliteXC MMA get together and I'm sure my performance will be far less than mediocre.
Fishing...ah fishing. Florida has been hit with some great cold fronts yielding perfect days of south east winds greater than 15mph. Such conditions resulted in excellent catches of Pompano and Mackerel. However, in just a few weeks a team of hard cores will be hitting the Dry Tortugas...an area 70 miles west of Key West that doesn't have the fishing congestion and annoyances that plague South Florida. It'll be a 3 day expedition for red snapper, muttons, grouper, kingfish, cobia, and yellowtail. Here's a quick glimpse of my friend's previous trip...I sure hope to have a similar trip.
Training. So I took a few months off from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and concentrated on Muay Thai. It's something I like to do every now and then to overcome plateaus in training and somehow generate a yearn to get back into BJJ. So my first day back in BJJ I felt great...and comfortably tapped out my first 4 partners. Then I ran into a slight 155 pound roadblock. Yeah, 155 pounds doesn't sound like much, even with a 20+ weight advantage on my side, but it was Cole Miller...the 6'-1" semi-finalist in last season's TUF (The Ultimate Fighter) on Spike TV. His combination of lengthy appendages, perfect technique, and retard strength is what propelled him into dominating my butt on the mat for a grueling 5 minutes. After unexpectedly getting choked out for the 3rd time in the round, i ask "What do you call that move?"...he replied, "I dont know, but it was a baddass choke." Funny guy.
