reading: walked + fast runs

felt pretty good.. feeling alot stronger lately. I think it's mostly due to the fact that i'm doing standing desk 100% & not eating too much.

feeling better physically + mentally.

sitting = the devil.

I gave in for too long and got lazy, sitting or lying down while coding & such. Getting back on my game, standing up + computing -> burn some calories, get the blood pumping more, strengthen up more, move around, and go nutz.

every time i train after having spent a lot of time sitting i end up injured, it's so predictable.

damn. ya man, just wrecks you.

do you have a specific standing desk or are you just improvising?

nah, always improvised. I need to actually do some better improvisation soon. I had the best setup at my previous job, had a box i'd carry around a plop onto people's desks/etc, and it was always the correct height.. some coffee machine box. Allowed me to have a super light weight portable standing desk :d

I don't know if you can see the video in the link, but maybe the best rally in the tournament? its from the nadal vs muller match.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/40562089

probably saw it, but can't check. bbc blocking me.

also, you see this?

lmao!

lol ye I saw that.

I searched on youtube for that best rally video but they are blocking my country but I downloaded it just to check and this video contains multiple good rallies, but the one I was referring to is the second rally in the video. Just awesome. Hopefully your country is not blocked from watching this.

Reminder: I am referring to the 2nd rally in this video.

hah. still blocked.

Haha I just came to post that Horn got the WBO decision but I was beaten to it

It'll be interesting to see who he fights next. I mean obviously a rematch with Pacman is the honourable thing to do as it was Pacman that stepped up and gave him an opportunity. However, it's risky because if he loses than that takes some appeal off other boxers wanting to challenge him and get big fights.

i'd be curious to see if Pac pushes for a rematch though .. a rematch against a guy like that, late in his career, who head butts like crazy and is just a rough dirty fighter, doesn't sound like something he will want.. but with the independent review, he might "have to" before taking on another opponent. Might be the end for pac.. I'd like to see him try and avenge this loss, I think he would be able too. He'd fight smarter & not put so much faith into being able to KO Horn.

Bummer, would've been difficult to overturn the decision I'd imagine. Lesson I learned was how much the media you watch the fight (or any sport/ politics/ etc.) can affect your reality. I watched it on ESPN and was flipping shit like many Americans. Seifullaah73 watched it on a British network and clearly saw a Horn victory (closer to reality).

Yeah you have to be careful listening to announcers in fight sports, where anything but a finish (KO/TKO/KD) becomes subjective. These announcers are fans just like us, they love the sport.. so they have their favorites & can subconsciously spin it in their favor. They also judge differently, and they feed off each other. Bradley held his own versus those seasoned ESPN announcers. I'd expect the same thing from Malignaggi if he was there, or Roy Jones Jr if he was there. I think the key here, is that fighters themselves are harder to sway/push around. It's hard for them to just "give in" to the moment and go with the crowd, if it's not what they are feeling/experiencing. Roy Jones Jr for example, always shuts down Max Kellerman on HBO broadcasts. But even fighters become fans too, so leaving it up to the judges/subjective opinion always carries risk.

FWIW, I watched it on ESPN and still thought Horn won..

the "meth" talk got me lol'n.

can't imagine being on meth, or coke.. especially meth. HEH.

Of all the things I don't know in life, there's one thing I now know: Aaron Judge can absolutely crush a baseball. wtf?
