"there are no two words in the english language more harmful than good job..." - people love this quote....but i like the quote afterwards....

"but is there a line...u know maybe you go too far and discourage the next charlie parker from ever becoming charlie parker...??"

"no no no because the next charlie parker would never be discouraged..."


16:20 "the mind is much more powerful than the body...if you put your mind to it...youd be surprised...people say that shit to me...[i can't do an ironman]...motherfucker don't say u can't to me...u can do an ironman...if you trained and applied yourself u can do an ironman....i see people 50bs overweight cross the finish line...because they don't let people put the demons of doubt in their fucking head..."

17:20 "enjoy it...that's the main thing...don't take it up to prove anything to anybody but yourself. that you were able to do this but you have to enjoy it...if you don't enjoy the process you're not going to stick with it...so wasn't going to quit..i just dealt with the pain...and you're always going to have pain but you look around and everybody out on that course is going through what you're going through."




ironman 2014 - i pretty much forgot the pain the moment i crossed the finish line, (even though it took a week before i stopped limping)  should i do it again next year?? 



27C - summers ending so we went splashing before work.  what used to be a hidden gem, is now packed on weekends and the trash along the rocks show it.  its a 10-15 minute hike towards the edge of the rocks where u cliff dive into a little cove...and swim across to the rock island on the other side...to jump off a higher cliff...IM SCARED OF HEIGHTS...but if u can do it, i can do it too...at least for the instagram likes...twice!




















who knew you could rent a catamaran this nice for a day in taiwan.  we should've left earlier.  but we drank a shit ton in traffic only to chug more beers on the boat.  we boarded at 烏石港 and it took an hour to get out to 龜山 where i was dying to jump off the boat.  we swam to 龜山 but did you know it's illegal to climb the rocks and visit the military look out spots?   the beach was rocky...so why not just party on the boat...#like a boss...like a rap video...waving and chugging champagne to the tour boats.  amazing times.
