Cool.

Keep a diary but FOCUS ON YOUR TRAINING.

You have a REAL SOLID FOUNDATION already, from hanging out here.

PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL - don't get distracted by trying to vlog, take pictures, etc. This is the starting point of what could be your LIFES WORK.

Keep your EYE ON THE PRIZE.

Thankz everyone especiallyrick. Youve told me things i may not have wanted to hear but needed to hear. My primary goal is learning. The vlogging is purely a 4 minute video summing up the day. Same thing will be the diary for prime on here.

I must be old. What is a vlog? I am so un-youtubish and non-facebookish. I don't tweet or twitter. Social media holds no allure for me whatsoever. This Forum is as close to social media as I have ever been.
