My cousin just left my house, he was all excited to have me listen to his demo that he finally got professionally laid down. Its good. Far and away better than I expected given some of the rough cuts I had heard before from the singer that John is working with. Several of the songs […]

Tonight we were looking for something upstairs and we unearthed an unexpected treasure: my 1997 bookbag, locked frozen in time somewhere around mid-May.

Tonight marked the unexpected return of our very own . I was happy to see him and we engaged in some pre-class slow sparring combat. Young Mr. Tomms has a very strong sparring style. His backfist strikes are fast and strong (during slow sparring) also, however the control was a little… painful tonight. He whistled […]

I got off work a little late tonight, but still had time to do some running around tonight. Tasha and I paid a few bills and then picked up some dinner. The rest of the evening was spent lounging around the house doing nothing important for a change. The dog was very affectionate tonight. He […]
