10 Months. . . It IS a long time!


Okay yay. . . . . my last post here was around 10 months ago!!!

YAY. Time sure flies fast. Seriously looking at my StarCraft 2 post . . . . i mean i remember that day as it happened yesterday. Im amazed how fast time flies! Especially after new year. Since then i just cant believe it . . .

I guess thats the problem with having a very persistent lifestyle. The majority of my days have been pretty much the same and even tho interesting and crazy things do happen to me they are still somehow fitted in my daily routines.

This feels slightly weird.
It has been such a long time since i last posted here. Its facebook`s fault really. The super fast updates and quick picture upload is truly a dreadfull thing for every blogger. And its so much easier to share information with people. But i have been away from Facebook for awhile now.
I got a bit sick of it. I admit i am thinking of going back but i still feel i need a bit more time away from the site.

I was clearing up my blog for half an hour. Had to delete like 700 spam msgs. Lord for a small time blogger like me im surprised to see that much trash being constantly posted here by bots and spammers and viagra merchants. X_X
Cleared up my menu aswell.
1) I removed the cute asian girls slideshow. It was cool but the idea doesnt seem that entertaining anymore.
2) Cleared my contact list from blogs of people i no longer visit or have no interest in following.
3) Re-did my Favorites. After all in 10 months my most visited web sites did change...but not much xD And the ones i still visit but not much i transferred to the "Other Sites" category.
4) Updated the book im reading. I finished couple of books in those months and right now im not really reading anything per say. . . . but "Fall of Damnos" is one of the 3 books i have lined up and since i updated it on the site i guess ill start with it.
5) Changed my profile Avatar. Lil tribute to One Piece. Which 10 months since last time i wrote here is still my favorite manga. (my collection has grown alot too).

I saw the Walking with Dinosaurs show yesterday. It was amazing. Got some awesome Videos and couple of low quality picture. It really is too dark during these events to make a good shot X_X At least not with an average pocket camera. But i dont feel like investing into a proper one anytime soon.
I knew the Dinosaurs were animatronix but JESUS . . . . they looked SOOOO DAMN REAL! There was no surprise there at all when all the kids were freaking out and getting scared and excited. The show was an amazing experience and if it ever comes your way make it your job to get your family there and see it. Its well worth the money!

Been training hard in the gym these past months. Got from 69kg to 81 in about 5 months and altho im far from being a beefy hunk im pretty fit and in a very good shape. The only drawback here is i had to replace a good deal of my wardrobe to account for my bigger frame. Especially pants. God my lefgs grew so fast X_X I`ve been rapidly increasing the weights during my leg workouts. 2 of the top exercises i do are currently with 110 and 200 kgs!!! And i started with 20/60! Talk about improvement. The Chest and Shoulders beefed up too but my arms are kinda slow to progress. But my coach has switched my training in order to work them biceps and triceps more.

On 3rd of may i started training Brazilian Jiu Jutsu under Prof. Paulo Guimaraes in his city dojo. The experience has been mind blowing. The trainign is hard and since i take double classes everday i get to work and home devastated. It will take perhaps some months before my body gets used to the routines. Besides my astma doesnt really help my case. Still i am motivated and will try to get my blue belt as fast as possible.

Im even thinking of starting piano lessons in the weekends. But im still thinking about that. My schedule is busy as it is. And then there is the motorcycle thing. . . . im kinda divided between a new car or a motor for my birthday. Well see how i feel about it as september approaches.

As you can see from my favorites list ive been visiting a site called Die2Nite alot. Thats not a suicide website dont freak out, its in fact a zombie post apocaliptic game that i have been playing for little over 2 months now. its really awesome and very intense. Its hard and requares alot of social skills. That and the escapist magazine are the first 2 things i do when i get online. I guess ill have to add Facebook to the list when i get back. I did spent an awful lot of time on FB before i took my leave.
At the time of me quitting Facebook i did a major clearing of my skype account too. Had so many people i dont even remember. Or in-active accounts. Or people i no longer feel like i want to keep in touch with. Everything useless or old and forgotten got deleted. Which sadly really reduced my Friend List to a handfull of people. But hey quality over quantity right? :P

My comic book/manga library has grown quite large and im very proud of it.

Gaming wise i havent had much time to play hardcore. I do enjoy occasional gaming hour on my PS3 at work. But in home even tho now i own an Alienware desktop...oh yeah... (I GOT AN ALIENWARE DESKTOP!) So as i was saying even tho i have an awesome gaming rig now (costed me 3,000AU$) i dont have much time to play. It was casual WoW for a long time and then Shogun 2 came out and i got the uber collector edition which requared me to get Steam. . . . .thinking about it i should have gotten steam a long time ago. But i realised due to my World Of Warcraft dedication i have had missed out on a few dozen amazing games. But now its kinda late with work and the gym and my BJJ training its really hard to catch up with games. Still i got some nice shiny games on my Steam account. Also i fancy the idea of being able to download them wherever i am to whatever PC i want. So even if i go back to Europe i can get my gaming on relatively quickly. And will save me the trouble of mailing boxes of games and paying who knows how much $$$ to the PO!

I have a big crush on the UFC now. I am truly a fan now. Heh UFC....its amazing what kind of interests i harbor in me. So yeah big UFC fan. Went to their event in Sydney in February, Diamond ringside ticket :D It was ana amazing experience. I was sitting next to Ryan Bader who turned out to be such a great and friendly guy. And watching the fights so close.....amazing i could feel every punch. every takedown. the athmosphere was unbelievable. I hope one day i can visit the UFC in USA and see some of the major title fights between legendary fighters like GSP, Anderson Silva and Dominic Cruz. The UFC was one of the reasons i chose to train BJJ too.

Erhm im getting kinda hungry right now so ill go ahead and stop annoying whoever is reading this with my personal crap :D Still thx for reading ^_^

Maybe ill see you soon. . . . or maybe it will be after another 10 months. I really cant say.
Dont Die2Nite and
May The Force Be With You!
