Today is my birthday and Star Wars has made it the worst day to be born.
Happy birth wars!

My friend's birthday is International Women's Day. He'd probably trade you.

Thanks. I love international women’s day, so I’m down for that trade. Currently, I get a lot of happy birthday messages that includes “May the fourth be with you.” I want to murder everyone that does that.

Luckily for you I’ve never watched Star Wars, so I don’t know exactly what you’re referencing.

At work all day. Inundated with blue prints for estimating. Been busy all day. Just stopped now because my eyes aren't what they used to be.
I was supposed to get some training in tonight with my son but he just bailed. I'll hit the treadmill and stretch instead.
Wishing you all well.

Government just announced another 2 week lock down affecting my area, with a possibility of a further 2 week lock down depending on infection cases. Yay?

Beautiful.

Been trying to persuade my husband to get me a new phone. I'm using an old $100 budget phone from my single mom days that doesn't have a great camera.

He got a pretty new phone recently with a great camera. Gonna keep bugging the crap out of him to let me take pictures with his phone until I submit him into getting me my own. :-D

Good day everyone!
Just at the job today. Weather is cool but it's a sunny day for now.
I'm supposed to be training today after work but not sure yet. I hope so.
I was watching a bunch of guys training in NJ last night on facebook live and I wish we were open like that.
Anyway have a great day!

Ha - yeah, I'm not used to having as snazzy a phone as this, as I'm normally also on that budget option. But my parents insisted on getting me something swanky for my 40th birthday a while ago: I'm certainly not complaining. :P

like every day watched instructionals since theres nothing else to do.
todays menu was nogi guillotines and crucifixes from marcelo garcia (old video)

i always make a few screenshots of crucial positions or if i rarely find something that i never saw or thaught about before, i put them together in ms paint with a few short notes and stuff so i have a 1 page condensed version of roughly 1 hour instructional

already got like around 100 pages of that pure condensed jiu jitsu since germany got to lockdown...
its like im making a kung fu master book that i can pass down to the next generation
tho im the only one that can make any sense out of those weird notes, like a true kung fu master its cryptic so only i understand

also im my imagination marcelos uke is the dad of that uke almost everyone uses at bjjfanatics

I'll take a few screenshots and sometimes chop up the video into smaller mp4s too, along with notes. The main thing I do, however, is try and teach it as a drill during Zoom class. Then if that goes well, I'll teaching it as something more detailed. I find that trying to teach a technique is one of the best ways to learn, for me at least (within reason, of course: if you've got no clue at all, then that's going to be a crappy class. I'll get it to a level where I feel I can show the technique to my students in a useful way, rather than "I don't know what I'm doing, maybe this arm goes here, hmm, that foot shouldn't be there, help". :P

through teaching you get different views on something you thaught you know about
which helps you understand it even better. totally agree with that

oh boy if you knew how many thoughts i have about stuff i want to try out that i would love to try teaching but yet again not a thing for tiny whitebelt souls to be exposed to... and propably it would look sort of unprofessional if i start my classes with 'if you put your leg like this and your arm like this you might be able to break something tho im not sure yet'

its funny how many paradoxes we have in life
seriously i think thats where alot of learning would happen if you do a class like that trying stuff out
yet to many people this would seem very amateurlike
honestly i think aslong as theres at least one competent person around who can save you from trying out shit that will never work for hours, such a class would be good

I had my first training (on Wednesday actually). Discovered that my topgame is still pretty okay, but my guard (which has always been the weakest part of my personal game) has deteriorated the most. Already shitty hip mobility has decreased even more :/

DO I NEED TO START FINALLY DOING SEPARATE MOBILITY WORK?!? I WILL DIE OF BOREDOM!

I’ve been having a lot of issues with my psoas muscles since returning which limits mobility and causes back pain. While I’ve found some stretches that loosened them up, it never seemed to be long lasting. Broke down and bought a pso-right and after using it everyday this week I’m feeling some nice improvements.

Watched Norsemen on Netflix. Why did't I know about this show. It's great and the dry humour is hilarious.
Is that an animated series?

Nope, live action comedy. Norwegian, pretty good.
Yeah, I was actually thinking about BoJack Horseman. So close....

Today I am planning on putting some weed killer down on my lawn. Hopefully it doesn't rain for a few days or I would have done it for nothing.
Very hard getting a good product in Ontario to eliminate weeds. They've pretty much prohibited most of the good stuff.
