Ten years ago my goal would have been to get together with my friends to find out which bar(s) we were gonna get drunk at. I would probably be the first one passed out after not knowing what my limits. Even though I've gone out several times before, I still didn't take a step back and learn from the situation. I would take about a decade (thanks to martial arts & jiujitsu) for me to realize that going out to drink every weekend was not what life was all about.
It was, for me, the only life I knew. If it was a weekend I would go out and drink. The habit is difficult to break as the environment had a greater influence on my actions (~chris hauter).
Glad I was able to grow out of it. Although I would like to have a few drinks after work, it is not at the top of my priority list. I have BJJ sunday school tomorrow which I value more than a drunken night out.

Onboarding at HGS
Got some nogi in this morning and rolled with a couple of brown belts my size who are also wrestling coaches. I almost got a single leg takedown (he definitely let me have his leg to begin with as he guillotined me in 5 secs with my first attemp), so I consider that as an improvement.
Wished I wrestled for a year in highschool, wished BJJ found me when I was younger, wished I didn't drink as much while in college, wished I was more social in college. However I'm grateful to be where I am now.
Quote of the day:
"The best time to start training jiujitsu is when you're a kid. The next best time is today!"
I'm glad to have the foresight to ask for an extra 1.50/hr from their initial offer. I used to just accept the initial offer at hand. I may have been able to negotiate up higher, but for now this will enough to get me to the next step in my career.
Still working at the restaurant (actually working in an hour and will try to keep my Saturdays as long as I can manage. I just hope I will have the energy to train while working at the office.

A refresh
Namaste,
I recently just accepted a job at HGS near Olive & 270. I feel like I can definitely make an impact and improve on their existing processes. With my experience and ability to solve puzzles I am gonna get after it.
