Glass Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Autocorrect why u so stupid? Yes, I meant to type BJJ. Well that's convenient that they are so different. Do you have an eye towards MMA, or just interested in both? Haha i thought you meant that Eventually! I don't mind it taking a while but I think that would be pretty cool to get into fights and test myself. I know I have to get through the wall of hitting people and getting hit, but I DO like the idea of me eventually doing some mma stuff.. no plans for anything big, but some small time stuff might be awesome. Autocorrect. It looks like you are enjoying the martial arts classes. Are you going to become a Monk?Not to mention that they get you in shape!! I was a monk last challenge but I'm moving around for a bit because I feel like I have that wheel going and stable and am working on this aspect of my dream now. I know that doing activities with people make you way more invested, so I want to get through this hump of learning enough guitar to be able to play with other people so I can get that wheel going and stable as well..

There is a thread over here devoted to introverts and I read it for a while. I'm definitely an introvert too, I absolutely like to stay home sometimes and do my own thing and see people just as "a bother" sometimes. Maybe thats a major difference between how introverts and extroverts think. Extroverts see other people as sources of energy and introverts see them as sources of anti-energy. I like learning about extroverts because I feel I can understand myself a lot better. 4-25.-8-8 shift, nothing. Results: none 2 Quote Level 84.

What's your profile image about btw? I've decided that I'm gonna contribute to atleast one goal every single day, no matter how tired or busy I am that day. That means 11-10 shifts, 8-8 shifts, I always want atleast a half hour of work every single day on any subject I'm interested in. Probably mostly guitar or martial arts, but anything depending on my mood. I want to be able to say that I work on my dreams every single fking day. Improve every single day. 4-29.-Practiced switching between E barre shape forms with a time machine. Got real comfortable switching to the Emaj7 chord, as well as E, Em, E7, Em7, and E5. 10 minutes quickly turned into 45 minutes and I was fascinated.
