Older guy starting martial arts at over 50. Also into privacy and security. Combat veteran, dad, and controlled by two dogs.

They are people, no dislike. The state of Israel is a different thing, I’m not a fan.

Watched the first 3 Bourne movies again this week. They really are one of the best spy type movies out there.

Today’s thought, why possesses us to give a bunch of random strangers our opinion on stuff. It’s a little narcissistic to think anyone wants to know what the heck we think. Of course, I realize the irony as I post this.

I’m not sure if I agree with this TikTok decision, but deep down I will be happy if it goes, I fight so hard to keep my kids off it. I catch them sneaking on here and there.

I’m almost 90% confident most autoimmune and mental issues can be completely corrected with food. Stop pumping people with meds please.

Can someone explain how wanting the border closed until the immigration system is actually fixed is racism?

Question, if Ukraine and Russia came to agreement and ended hostilities. Say, Ukraine does have to give up a chunk of territory. Would that be so much worse than continuing for say another couple years? Maybe bringing NATO ground troops in? How ugly do people want things to get?

I find it hard to remain silent these days. Not that I have anything to blurt out, but my lack of commenting or voicing an opinion on some things sort of makes me compliant in them. Not that I’m going to go on all kinds of rants, just that I am going to stop fearing having an opinion.

I enjoyed this Rogan episode with Riley Gaines, eye opening.

Been listening and reading a bit on aging. I have to start working out again and up the protein intake also.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finished reading: 5 Rules for White Belts by Chris Matakas 📚

Second book by Chris, short but I really like his point of view on Jiu Jitsu as a tool of self development. It’s a little more instructional and I’ll probably repeat this one a few times to come.

The biggest problem for me selecting a martial arts school is time. I’m going to look at another /#BJJ school this morning since they have a class between 9-10am which is almost perfect for me.

I wonder if @Microblog will ever be able to cross post to threads in the future.

Finished reading: On Jiu Jitsu by Chris Matakas 📚

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I really enjoyed this, it is more of a philosophy book than anything and I think it can be used to look at many activities besides Jiu Jitsu.

Had a change of heart, I think I’m going with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I’m going too back that up with some Yoga, so I don’t break myself.

I think I am going to do #Karate

The Baha’i fast starts in about 8 days then lasts 19, so I will plan to start my first classes after the fast ends.

I just made a blog post about choices for martial arts schools, I just found another possibility, it’s a Karate school which would be one of my top 3 arts to choose from, so it may be a possibility, waiting to get questions answered to see if I should investigate it further.
