Read Yes Man by Danny Wallace (where the Jim Carrey movie was based on). Found it such an enjoyable book that I decided to start reading 'Join Me', where Danny explains how he accidentally started a cult. Very funny books.

Make sure to perfect your technique. I always felt it helpful to do a judo shoulder roll (probably not just from judo, but that's where I learnt it). A tip could be at first to have a focus point in front of you, and try to find that again after your roll. Other than that, just do it and don't be afraid to put your entire body in it to get back up again after the roll. Maybe you have the tendency to stop somewhere at the end causing you to lose momentum?

Welcome =) Better start throwing barrels!

Hey, I'm teaching some kids in secondary school (ages 13 - 14) about the importance of silence in our lives. I was thinking of adding some meditation, or Yoga or Tai Chi and was wondering if some of you druids could give me some suggestions for good exercises?

My goals are: Run a 10 miles (16K) run in April Run a 10K run in June After that, I'm going to build off running a bit and focus on gaining muscle mass. I would like however to beat my 5K record So one additional goal: Run 5K in under 19 minutes

Suddenly I'm addicted to this song!!

Yeah, I think I'm going to try something like this instead of sleeping till 3PM everytime I go out Going to take an interval from 6 AM to 9 AM, and wake up between those times depending on how early I went to bed.

Played this with my band once. Our lead singer and piano player practiced this together and started playing at rehearsal, I had no idea it was a cover until they told me several days later (we usually make music like this) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfzRlcnq_c0

I downloaded both Dota2 and LoL at the same time. I've stopped playing both, but I kept LoL on my pc and got rid of Dota2. The games were overall very similar, but Dota2 was just too hard to learn when you just want to casually play a video game. LoL was really easy with a great tutorial, but I stopped playing that too, because I don't want to make a commitment to other players by being online for a certain time a day. Sometimes when I'm gaming, I just have to leave suddenly to do other stuff and I got some sort of penalty in LoL for that once. There's this competitive factor I'm not really looking for in an online game, I just wanna have fun and do whatever I want.

So last night I went to a bar with some friends. As usual things like that get late and I went to sleep at around 3 AM. I decided to get up at 9, giving me (imo) just enough sleep and a longer day I can use to be productive (or procrastinate a bit more). The thing is this: If you're for example someone who has a schedule to sleep from 11 PM to 7 AM, is it then more important that you always get these 8 hours of sleep (so when you go out on occasion, you sleep from 3AM to 11AM), or should you always get up at the same time, in this case being 7 AM (when you might get less than 4 hours of sleep on occasion, but you can make up for this by going to bed earlier the next day). Of course this can differ from person to person, but I'd like to hear some of your opinions.

Nice!

I started playing Skyrim again this week. Just bought all of the DLC and gonna work back up again from the start.

I often listen to game music when I'm working out. And movie themes as well. Like a mix of the Superman themes gets me going. When I have to choose my favourite, it's either a mix of Skyrim music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em_HdebjK7g like this. Or my favourite song: Assassin's Creed 3 main theme

That could be pretty epic!
