| So I was just kicking it this evening, and I saw the above movie on FX. It's some direct to sequal action movie. There are some elements of MMA in it, like some boxer getting schooled by some Russian dude, then learning submissions and the clinch for a rematch. But to the director, come on, at least hire people that are experts in a field you're trying to capture. For example, no one is escaping the clinch, or even trying to clinch back. There's some grappling involved, but it's either done wrong or blow out of proportion. I guess it's to make things more dramatic; it is more exciting to see someone punch and bash out of a front choke than it is to drop guard and sub. I don't know, I just found it hystarical how the fighters ALWAYS seem to take the hardest way out of a situation, when any white belt could easily escape or counter. I counted like 9 times I could have ended the fight, but what do I know, it's not like I've been training 18 hours a week for 8 months. Nice try movie business, but let's try to do a little research next time. In other news, here's what my last training session's tally was: Win : Armbar from the guard Loss : Triangle Win : Clock Win: Ezikel Win: Collar Loss: Submission (armbar from the mount) Loss: Collar Win: Kimura Loss: Tapout (Kicked to the face) Conclusion: Don't get kicked in the face | | |
| So here's a brief highlight compilation of the things Janet and I said to each other while parting ways. Steve: "I sure hope you find happiness in the navy. Then I hope you fall overboard in frigid arctic waters, then attacked by a walrus until it fin slaps you to death". Janet: "I don't like flowers."
Steve: "Why not dear, they are just like you. Not worth keeping around since they are only pretty for a season before they wither away". Janet: "I wish you would just walk into moving traffic.
Steve: "I would, but I'd rather take you out with me." Steve: "I'm not buying you that ice cream flavor, it's green."
Janet: "Oh come on, I want to find out what it tastes like"
Steve: "It's about to taste like domestic abuse unless you quit your complaining woman" | | |
| Alright, she may be "adult contemporary", but I've been listening to her a lot lately. Guess that happens when you just want to feel the blues. The way Bonnie sings conveys this genuine sense of loss and unrequited affection. I would describe it almost as reverent in her tone, a tone that can isolate and vivify those times when you just want to be alone with your thoughts. In other news, Pan Am anyone? http://www.ibjjf.org/pan2007registration.htm. I'll be there | | |
| No more girls for 2007. I'm too afraid they'll leave me and join the navy, again. | | |
| Somehow I started a conversation with this leftist leaning employee at a bookstore about capitalism and the American way of life. It went like this: employee: "Man the system doesn't work. It owns you, makes you work until you break, then disgards you in favor of the rich and entreched interests. We need a revolution to make the People first again" Steve: "Yeah, I don't know about that, I kinda like the system. In fact, I strongly expect to climb the ladder of success, then promptly kick that ladder down so no one else can join me. How much for this magazine." employee: "....it's $4.99. Have a nice day" Steve: "Cool, see you around" employee: "Scatter the sparks of revolution; the flames will spread whenever the tinders dry" ...How poetic. Maybe I'm not as radical of a Marxist as I thought I was, back to the drawboard for me. | | |
