My thoughts, music, and general bullshit.

Changes.

I'm making a shitload of changes to my current lifestyle.  My current lifestyle consists of being a lazy asshole, and that's changing.

All of this is made possible by my friend Derek, who is my primary motivation, and I'm his.  For about a week, we have been dedicating ourselves to guitar.  We practice daily for hours on end.  And by practice, I mean we are literally learning how to read music, which will take longer but help us out in the long run.  Within a year we should be up to a level of mindless shredding, and with the next three we hope to be creating works of pure hardcore electric guitar goodness.

I have started running 3 miles daily.  It reminds me of my cross country days when I was young and nimble.  Derek's father has set us up with a killer twice a week full-body workout and an excellent protein diet.  Next Tuesday, we are driving to Appleton to meet some of the guys at the Fox Valley Grappling Club.  In August, we will start training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA as sparring partners.

So, basically, in about a year I'll look like Brock Lesnar:

This is Maynard James Keenan, the lead vocalist of Tool.  This is one of his side bands.  This song is absolutely haunting.
