Without a doubt, Takanori Gomi is one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world. Displaying outstanding boxing and wrestling skills, Gomi has torn up the 161-pound weight class since his debut in 1998 at age 20. Previous to his fighting career, Gomi was an avid baseball player (pitcher) in school. Gomi began his boxing training at the Sagamihara Yonekura gym in Japan in 1994 (while in junior high). In 1996 Gomi began his wrestling training and then joined the Shooto gym in 1997 in order to train as a mixed martial arts fighter. After a remarkable amateur career, Gomi won the Shooto welterweight championship in 2001 by defeating former teammate Rumina Sato. From there he went on to gain wins over the likes of Dokonjonosuke Mishima and Chris Brennan. Today Gomi looks to become the king of the lightweights.

And I shot well over 10 hours of taped footage on the trip. I'm happy. I took two boxes of tapes with the aim of using all the tapes and I did..not one tape left. I'm very happy with the footage and at how good the trip went. I was so lucky and fortunate to get what I did filmed.
I returned home from Tokyo on the Sunday and took over as manager of my department on the Monday and haven't stopped working hard yet. Pulled a 13 plus hour day today and I've got a similar one tomorrow. I guess I'll use the extra days off to jump on in and get started on the editing. SO keen to see where it goes now.

Our last night in Tokyo was spent unplanned, drinking beers in Inokashira Koen with our new friends Darin and Kat (and dear old friend Martine of course) till past 3am. We were so tired from the days last minute filming, shopping, and goodbyes but,..you just can't pass these kinds of options up when on trips like this. The memories are worth the lack of sleep. And I'm glad we did it. It was a fitting end to an amazing trip.
It couldn't of been anymore smoothly run. I was extremely lucky to get everything I wanted filmed (you always want more film but,...), met some of my heros, trained with some of the best fighters on the planet, and met some life long new friends. I couldn't have asked for much more. I did doubt for a while wheather I'd get all I needed filmed for this documenatry. I had such high expectations of myself and my ambition for this doco, I was unsure if it would go so smoothly but with the BIG help from friends,..it was more than I asked for.

It occurs to me that in the two years that I've been blogging, I've talked about school and about my research area kind of roughly but I've never actually mentioned my area of specialty, which is evolutionary approaches to psychology and cognitive science. So I thought I'd introduce everyone to my interests by posting an interview with E.O. Wilson, the founder of sociobiology, which morphed into the more contemporary evolutionary psychology championed by people such as John Tooby, Leda Cosmides, Jerome Barkow, and Dan Buss. Now I do think that all the people listed are at least kind of wrong but this interview is still a good start.

Normally when I read about religious figures in the news, it's always a matter of something bad (like child molestation or protesting at funerals) or something tremendously stupid (like someone declaring that there's a war against Christianity, or trying to suggest keeping intelligent design out of science classes is censorship). However, today I read about an Italian Cardinal who made the news for being so sensible (you know that things are a little off when you make the news for being sensible). Here's a few snippets from the article:
Cardinal Martini also pledged his support for legal abortions and the use of frozen embryos to enable single women to produce children. "It is difficult for a modern state not to intervene, at least to prevent a brutal, arbitrary situation from developing," he said, adding that the legalisation of abortion, which occurred in Italy in 1978, had been a "positive" development in that it had "contributed to reducing and eliminating illegal abortions."

I was sitting around thinking about my impending move and it struck me that I was moving to the midwestish city in a Republican state on the Kentucky border, which I assumed was smack in the middle of the US bible belt. Immediately I had flashes of raging bands of evangelical Christians chasing me with their pitch forks and bibles demanding that I repent my sins and embrace the savior.
However, PZ Myers of Pharyngula fame has disabused me of my irrational fear of religious mobs trying to convert me. It seems that Cincinnati happens to be in, what I would like to call, a Godless Heathen Zone. You don't know how relieved I am to discover that. I was almost expecting to burned at the stake for my blasphemous "evolutionist" views.
