I’ve been talking about it for over 2 years.  I’ve wanted to start training for a long time and felt that with my insane travel schedule, I would never get time to commit.  Since I was assigned to a 2 month project where I could work from Dallas, I decided to take the leap.  After a solid month of training, I can honestly say that I love it so far.  It’s still very early in the journey, but I hope that I’ve found a new hobby that I will stick to for years to come.  

I’ve started a blog to discuss BJJ news and my personal experiences with my new training.  Expect to see many more posts on the new site, www.BJJTecnica.com .

For about 3 months I’ve discovered the joys of juicing fruits and vegetables.  I’ve always heard of these mysterious contraptions but just recently became educated enough about them to purchase a juicer and start exploring.

I’ve found a few recipes on the web and have created some of my own.  I’ve noticed that it is common for me to juice fruits and veggies as a complete breakfast replacement.  One example of a breakfast drink I love includes carrots, celery, cucumber, kale, spinach, and an apple.  This drink gives me a ton of natural vitamins and nutrients that I would normally not receive in my normal everyday diet.  Another great use is to get fresh apple or orange juices.  There is nothing quite as refreshing as a freshly juiced cold glass of orange juice.

The biggest downside is the cost of buying fresh fruits and vegetables.  It takes a decent amount of fresh produce to get enough juice to replace a meal.  I recently cut out most meat products from my diet so I didn’t feel the cost much, but it is definitely not as cheap as buying packaged/processed foods.

After 3 months of juicing, I think this one will become a life change.  I feel better and like the option of a refreshing drink instead of hot foods.

Lil Wayne was quoted saying that he never plans to stop touring and one day hopes to take residence in Las Vegas.

“I actually plan on being one of those artists, with all the music and all the work I’m putting out, I believe that later on down the line, I can do Vegas. I can be the first hip-hop artist to do Vegas every night. That’s the plan.” 

Can you imagine?  It’s a new era of Vegas music.  I guess if you think about the youth of today becoming the gray-haired slot machine pullers of tomorrow, this makes perfect sense.
