bjj/mma thoughts

So Tuesday I got my blue belt, and i rolled for the first time yesterday (yes lazy) I was expecting to get tooled as a message from the grappling gods lol. I went with a big new guy, it was fun I passed his guard a few times into side or n/s.

what really stuck out tho is my deep half guard is becoming a lot easier flow for me, i even broke full guard and pulled half guard and worked from there, got single legs seemed like every time..and went out the back once and got on top. I worked on spider guard a little but didn't work how i would like, i'll work on it a little bit, but i want to keep working on techniques that work with the gi on and off.

did you see UFC 124? really good matches ( i thought anyway) BigDog, Miller Bros and GSP all won..Sapo fought to a draw but it sounds like he won..bummed Dustin Hazzlet lost tho, i really like him, and seems like since i found out who he was he has lost all 3 matches lol

GSP's striking looked really good, jabs broke Koscheck's orbital bone, he even got a couple take downs for good measure.  He didn't finish him, but Josh is a tough guy who i only think has been stopped once by Paulo Thaigo?

No practice for me today, some how I went to sleep at 5am lol an slept till 11am-ish. tomorrow maybe? or get my car worked on..we will see.

heather is sick, and i think i'm getting sick..but hopefully we can get better pretty soon.

overall i am so happy tho:) can't wait for Christmas to spend time with our families.

so yesterday got my blue belt, pretty cool..wasn't expecting it really till the end of the year.  i told my instructors that 'people are gunna think i'm good now'  looking forward to training more, starting to do nogi and really advance my game.  I got 3-4 deep half guard sweeps yesterday, really finding my rhythm with that position and getting to it easier. 

last night went over to heather's friends house..hung out..ate some delicious Christmas cookies. I didn't realize i missed Christmas baking this much. i think my favorite was...i have no idea they were all good lol

i'm thinking about getting my self some kind of cleanse..like a colon one or maybe another kind? think i can talk my wife into trying one? i hear they make you feel better..and i found a place where they aren't to expensive.  also that brings me to another thing I want to do..a float tank..they put you in a dark clynder with water and you float for X amount of minutes or hours, it's supposed to be really good to clear your mind and meditate, that tho is a little expenisve..so i just might save the money and meditate on my own.

work is a little nuts right now..not to bad, but other people are stressing out it annoys me *Kanye shrug*

my grandma has been getting to the gym ore than i have latley..she has done 2 miles in 2 days..I have eaten a bunch of cookies in 2 days lol.

called the cops on a crazy guy i didnt want to but he was refusing to leave..feel bad for him..hope when i'm crazy and homeless no one calls the cops on me..or hopefully i dont ever get that way.

i miss heather..she's at work..i can't wait to see her <3

i'm a jerk/baby sometimes..i try not to be.but i am..i'm glad she loves me despite it

back to work..i'll tweet stuff later
