damn i'm late. just found out: Chris Paul to the Rockets.

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19758509/la-clippers-trade-chris-paul-houston-rockets

that's a major move.

penalty kick finish was insane.. 3 stops for Chile's Bravo, wtf??????

1st extra time.. good match so far. Lots of great saves.

Going for Portugal .. and going for Mexico over Germany

But I think Germany will beat Mexico.

that 405 x 1 DL & 245 x 21 SQ are beastmode. damn solid@!!@#

 

Portugal v Chile (semis) has started off pretty good.. some serious saves by each goalkeeper.

Not the biggest fan of Jackie Chan but loved him in Rush Hour.. remember seeing 1 & 2 in the theater, lol fest.

I'm ah not sure we can be friends anymore...

lmfao.

Man you should at least check out Wheels on Meals (with subtitles if you can stand reading them). This is where I'd start and probably the one JC movie I watch the most. Drunken Master 2, Police Story 1, Project A, Dragons Forever and Miracles (Mr Canton and Lady Rose) are all great movies too and I had a hard time limiting the list.

yeah i watched several of his earlier movies, the ones with subtitles. definitely impressive stunts, he is a beast.

:/

ya that's a nice park, full court games get pretty hype there.



haven't been journaling lately, but still doing some lame workouts. not putting much effort into it. Ran 8 miles a week or so back, then 4 miles a few days ago with some fast runs (surprisingly fast), and then ran 5 miles today with some fast runs (slower, legs dead from a few days ago).

just crazy how fast a body detrains.. sucks ass.. motivation has alot to do with it though.

motivation/focus is #1.

i realize now more than ever, that my biggest gains really happen when i'm focused/motivated on another level.. methodology is important, but not as important as having that internal drive. I don't see myself having that drive in the near future, but, I may want to be in good shape for some mile races in December, so I have some time to get back on track.



Also, facebook keeps bothering me every day.. all it does is show me memories of jumping/dunking. It showed me these pictures recently:





It does this all of the time heh.. kinda depressing

Watched John Wick: Chapter 2 the other night-

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4425200/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Not as good as the first. More forced, bad dialogue, even worse Ruby Rose character (thank god she's mute). Action is second to none though. Just great fight choreo altogether.

Also, saw King Arthur with my son a couple of weeks back-

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1972591/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Seriously loved this and don't know why it hasn't been met with more love elsewhere. Having a story like this told by Guy Ritchie in classic snatch/lock stock style is great. I really hope the rest of films get the green light. Also, if you haven't heard it get onto the podcast Ritchie did with Rogan. I mean, I know Guy is a smart uh...guy, but he's next level when it comes to some of his history and archetypes and stuff. Well worth the investment.

I remember enjoying John Wick 1.. Saw 2 on Wednesday & didn't finish it :/ Good action but like you said, forced & weak dialogue. I got bored.

Oh, if they did a "The Equalizer" sequel i'd be interested.. Denzel.



On that note, I re-watched "Bourne Ultimatum" today... I forgot how good that was. It's hard to find a sequel that's better than the original IMHO.. For example:

Mission Impossible 1 (of the remakes with Tom Cruise) - man that was epic.. None of the others came close to the original.
Point Break - All copies of the sequel should be burned. The original is a "cult classic".
Predator - Some of the sequels were ok, but nothing like the original.

But then you have Bourne & Bourne Ultimatum .. Another one that comes to mind is Die Hard & Die Hard 3 with Jeremy Irons & Samuel Jackson. Actually Bad Boys 2 was pretty good also. I'm just naming some action movies that came to the top of my head.


I wanted to watch both Point Break & Mission Impossible 1 the other day.

There's some movies I can just watch all of the time:
- Heat
- Point Break
- Fight Club
- Mission Impossible
- Predator
- Crimson Tide
- Deja Vu
- Die Hard
- Die Hard 3
- The Departed
- Above The Rim
- Training Day
- Minority Report
- Se7en
- Rounders

dno just a few off the top of my head that I don't think i've ever gotten bored with. I left out tons of really good movies, but even with some great movies I left out, I can't watch them all the time.

Yeah I watched Wick 2 over 2 nights. Couldn't make it through in 1. The first one just seemed effortless. I'm assuming there'll be a third too which is kinda sad.

The Bourne movies definitely stand up. MI1 is great. I'm actually a fan of 2 as well. The action got if for me. Sounds like we're of a similar vintage though. So many great movies on that list. My only problem these days is I'm trending away from deep movies due to lack of time/brainpower. Where I would have watched Fight Club, Se7en, Training Day, etc a few years ago I would now pick something easy and fun.

My top movies I can watch at anytime are:
Point Break
White Men Can't Jump
Bad Boys 1 or 2
White Chicks
Dumb and Dumber
Me Myself and Irene
Anything Jackie Chan up to 2000 with selected titles after that
Any golden era Arnie or Sly

hah nice. I just realized my list doesn't have any comedy.. 8|

I contemplated putting Bad Boys 1 & 2, close - but couldn't. Absolutely love both of those though.. Not sure which of those I like better, they are both epic. 2 has some insane action scenes with some really slick filming. I think I give the edge to 1, but slightly.

Not the biggest fan of Jackie Chan but loved him in Rush Hour.. remember seeing 1 & 2 in the theater, lol fest.

I can't really think of a comedy MOVIE I could watch any time without being bored, damn... I'll have to think harder.
