IBJJF World Championships

I told myself that if I medaled in the Pan-Ams I would go to the Mundials (Worlds). Well, I medaled. So as soon as registration is up, I am getting in!

The Mundials are in June, up at the pyramid at CS Long Beach. Same weight and class as I was in at the Pan-Ams.

This is my chance to a world champion at something! How many people can say that???

Go to this tonight!!



I am friends with one of the artists and he is a great guy! So GO!!!

April Fools............

April Fools is a holiday best celebrated on roommates or younger siblings. Or a less cared for co-worker.

Things that have worked for me in the past, or have worked on me are:
1.taping the spray nozzle down at the kitchen sink so when you turn on the water you get a good spraying

8.blindly chasing a girl named April who everyone else knew was a lesbian, but you.

Not for me. I wanted to hear more and know more and especially as things are on the local level. That did not happen. A candid 45 minutes with a police captain or CBP officer would have yielded more.

A Mirror

Sometimes I wonder if my failing physical body is a reflection on some emotional, spiritual or intelectual failing in an other aspect of my ...
