Jorg’s Brain Log

7 months without any post on my personal site. Wow, a new record! Time to re-re-re-start the blogging about Jorg himself. No long stories anymore, just short and easy to read pieces about things that are worth remembering. Personal life, professional life, sports, other websites, happenings, etc. So here we go again, another promise to keep writing and I’m pretty convinced that from now on I will keep writing. I learned a lot about daily blogging with one of my more active websites Shark Freediving, so we will see. Let’s start once again!

The animal world is a wonderful thing. If you look at certain species and see what they are capable of… Amazing stuff! For the last post of the year I got some amazing footage here. Just watch and then say Wooow! Have a good evening to all!

I like guitar music! Very nice instrument that I started playing with since I was 15 or so. After some years of practising at a pretty good level I almost stopped playing but took the guitar out of the closet about 2 times a year. Some 6 months ago I decided it was better to leave the guitar in the living room and hence, now I play more ofter. Sometimes I need a little bit inspiration again and then I watch for example this clip. Extremely good skilled Erik Mongrain plays in a very unusual style, but it sounds great!

About 6 months ago I posted some pictures about the size of our planet next to some other planets and suns. Well to make it even more clear how small we are someone made a nice movie about it. Sit back and blow your mind about this…

Damn, another 3 months have passed without even one single post from me. So many things have happened in all parts of my life that it would take some serious writing to catch up again. But instead of bringing up the old again it’s time to look at the future. There are some interesting projects coming up including some nice challenges.

Let’s start with a good new years resolution by saying that I’ll write here again at least 2 times a week! Not that I’m writing for other people but just for myself. So that after 1 year I can look back and see what I’ve done.

I read back my old posts and it was funny and nice to read some things back I almost forgot about because of the very busy and intense last 3 months. So it made me wonder that I should change what I’m writing about a little bit. I’ve decided to write some more about myself and the personal stuff I do and encounter but also stuff I just find interesting to write about like for example movies, books, locations, etc. So we will see how this will go in the next weeks.

Anyway, I hope everybody had a great Christmas with their family and friends and I wish everybody a very good and happy new year’s party! In the picture attached you see our Christmas and new years card we made for our friends and family. As you can see my daughter Indy and son Rody had some good time in their Christmas outfit.

Wow, this year really flies by! It’s just amazing. I need to make a promise with myself that I make at least one post in my blog every week. I just read some stuff back from the beginning when I started this blog and it’s fun and nice to see which goals I already achieved and especially which ones I totally forgot! So from now on some more structural writing over here, because it’s already been 6 weeks since the last entry.

I’ve made a new website for my wife (and myself) were she, and all her friends, and their friends, etc, etc.. can chat and post about all things related to their kids. The website just began and is running production now for around 9 days or so and we already have almost 5000 posts and 130 members. So it’s going pretty well over there. I promised everybody to give a party if we reach 1000 members. Yes, that’s dangerous I know, but also fun… It’s nice to hear the words of these ladies that they finally found a place were they feel at home to discuss stuff about their children.

I’m also very pleased to mention that I finally found my dream gym were I finally can do my thing. Really hardcore, lots of weights, and dumbells to 70 kilograms! Finally some stuff to play with and nobody that will complain because I move to much weight and I could damage the floor. It’s was especially motivating to see some other guys lifting some heavy weights. I just finished my 4th week of getting back to a full schedule and this Monday I start with a regular training schedule of 4 times a week full body workout, very intense hard work. Did I mention intense? Very curious how much I can come to my former strength level.

The Shark company is coming along well. Due to some private happenings in the last 3 months I had to slow things down, but I’m glad that now I can go full throttle again. Many things in the pipeline and some very interesting things to come ahead, definitely already in this year.

Oh yeah, I setup an interesting test project, something everybody is probably interested about. I’m going to show the world real results from a real test soon! What’s it about I’ll tell you later, but it will definitely be fun!

So from now on some more updates! I promise you and especially myself!

Wow, already two months since my last post. Time flies when you’re busy. It’s almost christmas again! So many things to write about, and so little time. Okay, again a new promise to myself to write at least once a week at this blog. Personal stuff, things that I find interesting, etc. So what to start with? I’m just back from a vacation with my 5 year old son and we had so much fun! It gave me again lots of energy to go forward. So soon some more writings from me about some stuff, who knows what.

By the way, it’s not that I didn’t do anything in the last two months! If you take a look at Shark Freeediving, my freediving weblog about everything related to freediving, you’ll probably find some interesting posts. The same with Sharkbait. We did a lot of training and are making big progress exactly as planned. So also a lot to mention on that weblog. Furthermore there are almost some other projects finished which we soon can show to the outside world. Some pretty nice things coming up. Back to work now…

Oh yeah… Let’s include the inspirational picture of today!

Just to put ourselves back in the correct perspective of the universe…

Time to move. Today starts my cardiovasculair work. It’s time to prepare my body for some intense work. So for the coming month I set myself the goal of becoming more fit and energetic. And instead of doing everything at once, I’ll just start with some cardio work. Taking the bicycle to work, swimming in the pool, and running in the morning. I’ll how it goes. I don’t really have a set plan for this, but at the end of the month the goals is that I can run for 30 minutes easily again, without any problems. And to get some swim condition back! It’s always strange how fast swim condition can go away. Last year I did a lot of swimming. And most of the time I was doing 100-200 meter sets of freestyle swimming with 1 minute rest in between. I tested this a week ago and I did 50 meter freestyle and I thought I was dying. Amazing thing is that if you ever had condition it comes back sooo fast. Or at least… that’s what I hope. ;-)

So, it has been a while since I posted something in my blog. That can have two reasons: nothing happened or I was too busy. Thankfully I was too busy! Too busy with my allergy, my work for my boss, my own company, sport…. You get it; too busy! Too bad that I can’t tell some of the nice oppurtunities that are being developed. We are almost done with some of the contracts we’re dealing with, but it will be something very special if we can finish this correctly.

For the very first time in my life I’m glad that I’ve got a dentist appointment this afternoon! The last week I’ve been in a lot of pain because one little tooth that’s killing me! Something like this eats massive amounts of potentially productive time, because I get pains 2 times a day for 1-1,5 hour and I really can’t do anything anymore when that happens. The last few days I even went to bed at around 11 pm, and that’s very early for me. So glad to go this afternoon! Hopefully he can fix it easily. My wife is making ‘jokes’ that I probably have to take a root canal procedure. She’s so funny!!! not…

So what’s in store for next week? I’m starting my physical program again, and I’ll disclose the details of it somewhere this week over here. I’m also almost done with my change in my eating behavior. I’m not using the word diet over here, because it has such negativity included. The changes are failry easy to get used to. Something more about this later.

Let’s see, something more? Well family is doing very well. Last Saterday I had a nice dinner with my wife at a brazilian restaurant, celebrating our one year marriage and 11 year relation. It was nice to go out again only with her and leaving the kids at home. We should do that more often! Indy is growing like crazy and really interacting now with everybody. And Rody is just such a good and friendly brother, it’s really nice to see them together havig fun. Then you know what’s important in live.
