11 days since the celebration of my birth, and it has pretty much passed me by quietly enough for once. 26 years old and approximately $15 grand in collective debt. I need to work on this. I might buy a house.

After a brief absence from training, I'm back again, ready and eager to continue, except for tonight where I was too tired. I woke up tired. Never a good sign. I'm tired enough that I've been pretty much just sitting here staring at the screen all night. But I digress. Monday and Thursday, Jishukan Ryu Jujitsu (or just "Jishukan"), which I've been doing for about a month. Tuesday is Iaido and Jodo, which I've only tried once, but I liked it enough that I want to try it some more. Training is at the Budokan Academy, with Sensei Ramon Lawrence.

Michele is just about to complete an 8 week Yoga course, which she found was quite good. Instead of moving on to the next, more advanced class, she is redoing the course when it starts in July, and I'll be joining her. From what I understand, in addition to increasing flexibility, it's also a very good cardio workout - something that I really need to work on. I think this course will nicely complement my other training. Sure, that means 4 nights a week at training, but even though it sounds a little daunting, I don't think it's a bad thing. I still want to try and be active outside those training sessions though, and continue riding, etc.

Once I get all that sorted out, there's only my diet left to sort out :P

Since Friday, I've rediscovered the joys of coffee. For 2 years, the only coffee readily available was the cheap nasty coffee available at the fine establishment of MYO. Continued exposure to that weaned me off the coffee, and I have since been coffee deprived. But no longer! Or am I? I ran out of coffee today, so I went to purchase some more. I do not like my purchase. It does not smell like fresh coffee, rather is smells like not-so-fresh coffee. Its smell is not pleasing to me. Neither is its taste.

I am a broken man. Coffee has broken me again.
