Last year...


This is was my whiteboard in 2008 for March to-do. I was going through some old folders (yes I'm at work on Sunday) and stumbled across all these old to-do lists.

As an interesting overview as to how my brain works, I can still describe each of these items in detail, why they were on my to-do list, the overall importance of them, and their resolution (same for the tasks assigned to my reports on the board).

On the other hand, I cannot remember anything about them from a time perspective - when I started working on them, when I finished them, how much time they took, etc. In fact a fair portion of that does not seem like it was something I worked on a year ago - it seems older or newer.

Apparently time does not function properly in my brain.

Background:   I visited Tiger Muay Thai (TMT) from February 22 to March 23, then returned again from April 15 to April 28, 2010.  I had no previous MMA or Muay Thai experience, though I did grow up wrestling.  I came into my visit with above-average fitness but definitely not close to elite level. The Gym Facilities: TMT is amazing, and they finished a big expansion while I was there.  There is TONS of room, with seven+ massive separate training areas of various sizes, tailored for MMA, Muay Thai, weight lifting, and crossfit style workouts (kettlebells/etc.).  ...

It’s Not Too Hard

On April 9, 2008, my life was irrevocably changed. Every risk I’ve taken in the last two years has been a direct result of almost a single moment in time. I remember looking at one of my best friends, Brad, and saying “I am going to quit my job and travel the world.” To hear Brad describe this moment is somewhat shocking, because he could see in my eyes how real this was, and he knew it would happen. It started out, as it always does, with a small risk. Brad wanted to do European Delivery on a new BMW and spend a couple weeks driving around Europe – for me to join him would require taking the longest amount of consecutive vacation from a job I had ever taken in my life, an entire two weeks . Our trip would end in Amsterdam, where some of the guys on my team worked, so I was able to justify it by finishing up with a week working out of our Amsterdam office. Brad’s brother Adam joined us for what would turn out to be a whirlwind tour across most of Western Europe and a defining experien...
