So I’ve come to the end of a 12 week project and despite the result of the event, I’m pretty happy. I lost on Saturday very narrowly. I felt I had a little more in me, and to be honest, it was a match I could have won. But these things happen, and I’m not … Continue reading
On the stereo: Depeche Mode- Playing The Angel Because of my Daughter’s Communion this weekend, and logging Monday’s session last Tuesday, I actually only have one Jiu Jitsu session to log this week, Wednesday’s. An unusual circumstance, but I’m happy with it. Tuesday Logged a decent Strength session in Kyuzo despite being pretty tired from … Continue reading
Listening to Temple of the Dog as I’m writing this. I think I wanted to be Chris Cornell when I was about 16. Overall last week was really good. I’m still trying to keep a lid on my lower back injury and I’m having some decent success. Conditioning good. Strength dropping by about 5% or … Continue reading
On the stereo this morning: Mercury Rev- Deserter’s Songs. An album that reminds me of a mate who used to knock into my house with a burned CD for me and say “You’ve got to listen to this man…” Last week was truncated. I was running the IBJJF Dublin International so I knew I’d only … Continue reading
On the stereo as I’m writing- Pet Sounds, The Beach Boys. To hell with your Sergeant Pepper. This is the greatest of all time. Last week was a good week. I trained well, found some groove after being sick the previous week. The injuries I’m managing didn’t rear their heads too much, and I got … Continue reading
Playing as I write this- Massive Attack- Protection. The album, not the single. My favourite album of theirs. So last week was a disaster. If you read last week’s blog you’ll remember I said I had hay fever. Well, I didn’t, I had a bad cold and a throat thing. I missed almost the entire … Continue reading
What I’m listening to while writing this: Neil Young- Harvest. General condition- Full of hay fever. Every year I get a scratchy throat and puffy eyes this time of year and I say “Oh I think I’m getting a cold”, but the cold never arrives, and then I remember “Oh Yeah, I get Hay Fever … Continue reading
What I’m listening to as I’m writing this: Miles Davis- Kind of Blue. Don’t read anything into that choice. I’m feeling pretty fine this Easter Monday. Coffee steaming on the table beside the laptop, I’m full of chocolate. Had some wine and Port Salut last night. Gym done this morning. Nothing to complain about. Monday- … Continue reading
Inspirational writing music- GO! This week it’s Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins. Man, what an album. Okay let’s go. Last week was not the best, but I got 2 quality sessions of each of what I wanted to do in, so lets’ call it a good week all the same. That being said, bad sleep … Continue reading
Okay here we go. Let’s throw on some background music and see what comes out. I’ve gone with Dummy by Portishead. And segwaying nicely into background. Let’s also see what sort of background I can lay down for you to understand the point of this log. Very busy time last year. Lots of events to … Continue reading
