This is THE FUNNIEST jiu-jitsu video of all time, period.

If KC stopped playing video games and channeled all that energy towards video production, we’d have the beginnings of a pretty decent production team. I mean we already have all the gear we need: a DSLR, a boom mic, an awesome editing rig, a good tripod, and a dolly. I mean you don’t need anything else. 

As far as production skills well what do we got already: a director/editor (me), graphic design artists (thang/jimmy), funny personalities (yoni/trey), good actors (johnny/zach), sound people (anyone who can hold a stick and listen), and cameramen (elvis/jerry). When Thomas gets back here we can use his skills in audio mixing to have our own custom music.

All of us are funny, creative people. We have all the ingredients for the beginnings of a very strong production team. So why not? 

My team. 

My team. 

Dealing with my nervousness about starting the internship in two weeks:

  • Best Scenario If I Do It: I make a shit ton of money, pay off all my loans, gain a ton of real world production experience, make friends with older rich white people, end up in a great position to go onto the next gig. Likelihood: very high. 
  • Worst Scenario If I Do It: I hate the fucking job but I’m stuck there for the next 6 months, 45 hours a day, 5 days a week 0_0. Likelihood: possible, but very unlikely. 
  • Best Scenario If I Don’t Do It: I have summer for the rest of my life until I find another job. Lots of free time to pursue that youtube channel thing. 
  • Worst Scenario If I Don’t Do It: I get hit with the loan collectors in November w/ an empty wallet, I have to find a another probably not as good job, I piss off my Professor who got me this internship as well as my parents, I disappoint myself for being such a pussy. 

I can’t wait for May 28th :D

It’s me! In a gi. Can’t wait to start Judo this summer! 

It’s the oldest story in the world. One day, you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you’re ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.

FUCK THAT SHIT.

I know for a fact I can prove #3 wrong seeing as how it got me  a $13/hr internship straight out of college. Everything else though, I can’t speak for.

I am about to get so fucked up

Last night my roommate’s dad slept over and I could hear him snoring from the next room.

I’m seriously considering going to Thailand for a month or two after this paid internship is over just to train Muay Thai. It’d be so much more epic if someone acutally came with me though. 

Here’s all the reasons I can think of:

  1. It’s relatively cheap-one U.S. dollar is 31,100 baht. We could share a room making it even cheaper.
  2. You either come out looking like Spartacus or you die. It’s that simple. 
  3. They say a few months training in Thailand is equal to a year anywhere else.
  4. My friend who’s gone there twice says hookers are cheap and plenty, if that’s your thing. 
  5. All the expensive Thai food you like here is like 50 cents over there and I bet it tastes better. 
  6. You can say you went to Thailand and trained (possibly even fight if you stay long enough) Muay Thai. That my friend, is priceless.

And here’s a video of my friend Steve training over there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikTkiveC5LM

So Yoni, I was listening to Republican radio yesterday (most entertaining station ever) and this guy comes on the show who’s gay, Republican, and is against gay marriage. 

At first I just couldn’t wrap my head around that but then I did some research and found this interesting article. I was wondering what your thoughts on it are. 

Since you like to have opinions and shit.

Completely Unrealistic Expectations of my Future Wife

  1. She knows jiu-jitsu and doesn’t suck
  2. She knows ballroom dancing. 
  3. She plays Starcraft and she’s good.
  4. She’s somehow ambitious and goal oriented without simultaneously being selfish/evil. 
  5. She’s a certified massage therapist. I dated this girl once who knew what she was doing…euphoric. When you wake up every morning and everything cracks 7 days a week, this is the best thing you could ask for. 
  6. As Kavi calls it, she’s “A-Team” in all other aspects.

“I remember during the early part of January, 1909, I went to a certain restaurant, accompanied by Mr. Kyuzo Mifune, a fifth Dan teacher of the Kodokan. We noticed in one corner of the room a group of thirteen young fellows drinking sake, while in an adjoining apartment there were an elderly couple and some other visitors taking food. The members of the first-named group were seen to be putting their heads together at frequent intervals and to be busily whispering, at the same time casting glances in our direction. I did not take any special notice of what was going on, nor did I suspect that they had any designs upon us. Mr. Mifune and I went on chatting over our drinks. Presently one of the rascals approached us, calmly picked up my overcoat and hat, and tried to make off with them under our very noses. Of course I remonstrated, when the thief, evidently bent on picking a quarrel, insisted that the coat and hat were his property. A warm altercation arose, in the midst of which he assumed a threatening attitude, and was speedily joined by half a dozen of his comrades from the other side of the room. There being no alternative, Mr. Mifune took a hand in the game. He avoided unnecessary roughness, but in less than a minute he had them all down with a succession of swift blows. Then the rest of the gang set upon me, but I knocked them down one after the other, and the affair was over in less than three minutes. As our victims regained consciousness they lost no time in making themselves scarce, but we detained one of them, and forced him to confess. He admitted that their object had been to extort money from us by intimidation. They had been misled by our good clothes and had imagined that we would be easy prey. We let the fellow go instead of handing him over to the police, as we considered he had received punishment enough at our hands. After the rascals had gone the old couple who had been interested spectators of the occurrence told us that they had just witnessed for the first time in their lives a practical display of jujutsu and were amazed at the wonderful feats which experts were able to perform against such odds.”

That’s wassup.

I’m buying an iMac this weekend. I’m going to finance it since I only have $700 towards it right now but as soon as I start work I’ll be pulling in $600 a week. I kept looking around for used ones and craigslist but I just finally put my foot down and decided damn it, if there’s anything that I’ll need on my conquest of youtube, it’s a solid editing system. Editing is my foundation and I’m tired of working with shit tools. All those nights working at Snelling are finally being put to use. For once, I’m going to buy something BRAND NEW. 

It’s going to cost about $1200.

CASH MONEY MODE LET’S GO.

Great, the Speechcraft girl just met my roommate and now they’re like best friends. These two hipster chicks are like, about to make out or something. One has a turtle, the other one has a bird. They both have short hair and dress funny. They’re both vegans. Oh God now they’re talking about all the sad ways pets can hurt themselves if you let them out for too long. Some part of me right now is like hey, how come we were never that cool? 

Oh right that’s because I don’t give a fuck about indy music and every meal I eat has meat in it. 

I’m glad they’re hitting it off, though. The last thing I need is shit going down at an apartment I no longer need. 

Wow now they’re talking about the relationship problems they have with their boyfriends. Girls are very interesting. I have an odd feeling they’ll be at each other’s throats by July.
