Young Fischer

Absolutely brilliant. Bobby Fischer is 13 years old and plays with such precision. It makes me want to be better. I've been studying games and moves all day. Hopefully I'll continue to do so and one day take a stab at being someone in the chess world.

That pawn

This player was well beyond my rank. I'm not even a true 1158. I spent too much time contemplating a few of my moves. When the game ended in a draw I only had 40 seconds left to his 13 minutes. I'm not sure if he noticed that because he provoked a draw. I began this game right after watching the movie "Searching For Bobby Fischer." I felt like it was my duty to play well and I did. I want to start getting more serious about chess. This is a little piece of motivation for me. There was a pawn I wanted to take in this game but I wasn't sure if it was the right move. g3 was the move I made. I wanted to protect his queen from coming in.

Library Dreams

One Day

This film was sad. There is a point in the movie where everything will change in an instance. It's intense. The storyline is interesting and definitely believable. The flashbacks at the end show how much they meant to each other all along. Lots of surprises during this one. I was kind of wondering what was going to happen the whole time. I don't want to ruin it for you so just go watch it.

Never Let Go Of Me

I just finished watching this great movie. I have a feeling the book would tap into anyone's emotions a bit more. I really enjoyed the story. I thought it was creative on the authors part. The whole idea of donations and being someones carbon copy is interesting. For anyone looking to watch it I would recommend getting the torrent. If you are not familiar with how to do this download a program called Bit Torrent. (Be careful. You have to be somewhat computer savvy in order to know the potential for a virus to come about.) Once you have that, google any movie, "Never Let Go Of Me Torrent." Watch the trailer if you like.

Running

I did five miles on the treadmill just now. It felt great. I ran the first mile and a half. After that I mixed it up. I'm not going to lie. I did a lot of walking. Although, a lot of walking uphill. I set the incline high and it was like I was hiking up a steep mountain. A couple of times I even ran with the incline set and that was extremely tough. My timing could have been better. 5 miles in 65 minutes isn't too great. This is only my second day running though. I'll get faster and stronger over time. My calves definitely received a wake up call today.

Two-a-days

So I've written my workout schedule that I want to stick to religiously until boot camp. I want to train everyday twice a day seven days a week. CHEST, LEGS, BI/TRI, Back, Shoulders, repeat, repeat, repeat. I'll do the body building on my first trip to the gym and then cardio later on when I go back. For cardio I intend to run, bike, or swim daily. Push-ups are a mandatory along with all of this. I started with chest today so legs for tomorrow. I'm really enjoying these Naked Protein Juice Smoothies. They have 30g of protein in a bottle and are delicious. Here is a video advertising the product. It's humorous.
