Well, it's been a while since I wrote on this site but here you go.

I've been at this course and I have to say it's pretty retarded. The information they have is good but the teaching staff needs improvement. I've been teaching in one form or another over the last 5 years and I have to say that it's important to know how to teach.

I got my Gracie Barra Coach's certification. That means I'm good (nationwide) to coach BJJ. Pretty cool I think.

I'm gearing up for my upcoming deployment too. Nothing dangerous, I'm going to Japan. At least I get to see another part of the world. I'm pretty stoked about that.

Well, not too much left going on in my life. Sure looking forward to St Patty's Day this year. GOING TO GET WASTED!!

So I've been busy with a course through the Marine Corps and haven't been blogging or even messaging my friends here. The course I've been doing is called HRST Masters' course. HRST stands for Helicopter Rope Suspension Techniques. So fast roping, rappelling, SPIE rigging, all from helicopters and off of towers. It was super fun and I learned a lot. And another thing, I get to go home for the holidays this year, which I'm STOKED ABOUT!!! 3 out of the last 11 isn't so bad.

Is back!!! Man, was Yuma terrible. It was hot, then cold, then hot, then it rained, then hot, then REALLY HOT, then cold. All while living in a tent for the last month. Which, by the way, sounds as fun as it is. but anyways it's time to get back to the gym and hit the diet. And I'm planning on going home for the holidays this year, which will be the third time in the last 11 years. Not so much for Thanksgiving, next year will make a dozen for me missing the fam. Oh well. Hope everyone out there gets time to hang out with the people they love for the holiday this month.

Off to AZ for training. It's a little counterproductive I think, considering I'm in the process of changing jobs. More specifically I'm going to go train for the job I've already been approved to move out of. Whatever, it is what it is. I just hope I can get it all over with and get back to civilization quick. Oh, and the hits keep on coming. For the 4th year in a row I'll be missing Halloween. It used to not be a big deal to me, until you aren't able to have the option anymore. Then you tend to miss it. Anyhow I'll stop my bitching and am already looking forward to getting some brews when I get back. See you all later.

I DID IT!!! My first tough Mudder completed this weekend and I feel great about it. The elevation sucked and the water was cold but it was a good time all the same. While my buddies and I were running it we were talking about doing another one in the beginning of 2012. If you haven't done one and thinking about it, just sign up and do it!! They're super fun and everyone gets wasted when they're done. I had a great time and met some amazing people in the process.

Well, I passed my board and I will be starting my new job in the Marine Corps hopefully soon. Now all I have to do is wait for the buerocracy to catch up so I can start my training and hopefully school. But enough about that, I have the Tough Mudder to look towards next weekend. That's going to be a good time. Then I have a BJJ tournament in mid October. I also have a hopeful tattoo appointment the weekend following. So it's going to be awful busy for this guy in the near future. Hope I have a good time with it all!!

Haven't posted anything in a while but its been pretty crazy in my life as of recent. I'm about to go off for a long run but I'm still recovering from my long sparring session in BJJ today. I'm going to be a little lazt and skip the Corssfit WOD today but I'll make up for it tomorrow. The Tough Mudder is only a few weeks away and I'm looking forward to that, should be a great time. I'll be sure and post a few pictures when I'm done. Also thinking about getting my leg sleeve worked on net weekend if my tattoo artist has time. Let's hope. Anyways, about to get on this run or I'll be having a lazt sunday. Wish me luck!

Well, was suppossed to run today, but my foot is bothering me and I'm thinking I'm not going to run. Guess the 4 hours of JiuJitsu is going to have to suffice. Sunday's tournament isn't going to be any easier without training hard for it.

Had an awesome run on the beach toay. Although it was long, it went by super quick. 9 miles in 1 hour and 19 minutes. I was amazed. Guess I'm in better shape than I thought. I have to keep improving though, Tough Mudder is coming in September and I've got only a short amount of time to prepare. Gotta keep it going, gotta keep training.

Well, time at home was fun filled, but now I'm back to work. Had to cut off most of my hair, and my beard, but it is what it is. Now it's time to hit the gym, start the diet back up, and live the Socal life.
