6/20/2021 Workout MMA Thoughts: I took some pre-workout prior to my MMA session today. And, it didn't taste disgusting. It was like a Tang, orange, creamiscle thing. Creamiscle because I blended it, and that made it frothy. Not terrible at all. However, because I don't really do supplements (I do but not like these), I was unaware of certain side effects lol. Like the weird tingling and itchiness that you get from certain pre-workout formulas. Instantly went away once I was moving at MMA. To be honest, I'm sort of impressed by how much of a difference it made in my session. I didn't actually want to die. I think I kept up better this time. I only really stopped once, and that was because I needed to run to the bathroom. But, it was also the time to switch from MMA stuff to building strength (50 push ups with alternating hand taps). I'm half debating taking it before every workout, but I think it wouldn't be helpful to how I like to nap right before starting work after I hit the gym. We'll see. Plus, I don't necessarily like jugging down 8oz of flavored, frothy water before I'm at the gym at 4:30AM. Jonesly had one of his star students watch the whole session and do some recording. I wasn't necessarily thrilled about it. But, it was sort of nice to have him say that my combos were really sharp and smooth. We focused about 10 minutes of the session today on some clinches and grappling. I was definitely uncomfortable with it. My whole thing is that I intend to keep people as far away from me as possible. I do not want to get to wrestling. But, I know it's inevitable when you understand actual fights and street fights. I just prefer to avoid it lol. Calendar says this was session 9. Next Sunday will be my 10th session. I will definitely be re-upping with Jonesly since I think the progress made warrants it. And, I want him to get me to the point where he's comfortable with me dropping down to MMA gloves and not wear boxing gloves anymore.

The pass is good value though surprised you aren’t just picking up the xbox games on PC. No doubt the xbox is a good console though and arguably the best this gen so enjoy. Certainly easier to find somewhere to fit the xbox than ps5 🤣

Football fans, fickle? I won't hear a word of it🤗 I haven't seen any calls to get rid of Southgate but it doesn't surprise me, the England team always gets built up and it's always unrealistic. There's a lot of good teams and anyone can beat anyone on a given day. And then when the pedestal gets kicked away because the team don’t win every game convincingly, people feel cheated. A lot of people lose perspective and then behave like children. It's always the same. The 1990 semi final team, you should have seen what they said about Bobby Robson during the group stages. Disgusting. Also. How many times have we heard in these tournaments the media say English players don't have the same technical ability as blah blah blah it's all bullshit designed to provoke an emotional response. I never listen to it. It just winds people up and now they wind themselves up online arguing instead of getting behind their team. I won't mention the booing of players before the game as that's another kettle of fish.

Its funny how very quickly English fans will turn. I've got so much on my mind to say on the matter but I'm in a very small minority when it comes to England. Totallyin agreement we underperformed but to say Southgate Out and we were absolutely awful is a little too far in my book. It was more lacklustre than anything. Scotland played and celebrated it like it was their World Cup Final - and it was a 0-0 draw. Don't overthink it. Its a competition in the early stages and we have 4 points, undefeated with 2 clean sheets. I think if I worte this before yesterday's results i'd have slammed but arguably just goes to show. France, the world beating favourites? Draw with one of the worst teams in the tournament? Sounds familiar. Followed by Portugal surely are going to dominate with the best talented team of names ever versus the 'hasbeen' Germans....yeah, okay. Italy have been the best based on performance and results. I think everyone else, including England are all in the mix. I'd rather us underperform in a group game than a knockout game. Let's keep the faith as its a cracking tournament so far.

So, I had a zombie day yesterday after my neighbours partied all night until the morning in a big tent in their garden, and I ended up buying an Xbox Series X. The game pass is just too good a deal to ignore and it was available from Smyths while I was randomly checking availability of that and PS5. I'll still be getting a PS5 at some point, but probably not until the new Gran Turismo comes out, there's no other exclusive game on that console that makes me have any need for it right now.

I think from what I remember over the years after TNG, Stewart didn't want to do another thing about Picard. So, when they announced it, it was extra special. I'm just excited for the whole Q/Picard relationship again.
