My apologies for going ghost once again. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, I am GONE.

This time, it was a family cruise to celebrate the maternal unit’s 59th birthday. (Yes, we were on Carnival. No, we were perfectly fine.)

The reason I mention it? On our last full day at sea, I talked to one of the jewelers in the shop after he mentioned slight back pain. After telling him about bio freeze, it turned out that he studied aikido. And he was equally delighted when I mentioned BJJ. The next 5 minutes invoked us happily discussing walking through a couple self-defense techniques while my mom & aunt watched. (The maternal unit is both used to & amused by this sort of thing happening around her).

BJJ is a lot like VISA. Everywhere you want to be. So, Milos: if you ever stumble on this, stay groovy & catch that overhook!

Tonight marks the one-week anniversary of Leslie & Kevin’s marriage! Her husband has even promised to give BJJ a try once he’s finished school! Congrats again, you guys! When it came time to offer her tips for a happy marriage during her bridal shower, I could only think of one thing to say: “Always pull guard.”

Sorry for the recent radio silence, guys. My teammate Leslie is getting married, & I’m one of the bridesmaids, so this tumblr was kind of on the back-burner for a bit. The good news is, today’s the big day! I promise I’ll be back bearing tales soon.

I can hear some of you asking, “2G1M, how could you possibly combine BJJ & a wedding?”

The answer? The groom & his men have to submit the father of the bride & the bridesmaids before the priest starts the ceremony.

Wait, those are my dream wedding plans. Oops. Stay tuned, & I’ll come back with the actual BJJ/wedding moments!

I think I may watch too much UFC…

I spent my entire work day converting some of my company’s firms into grayscale. As such, the new file names had to end with “gsfinal”.

I actually lost count of the amount of times that I had to change it from gspfinal.

From the Shoyoroll Facebook page. I swear, it’s like they tapped into my team’s hive-mind & transcribed the running joke between Bowie & Chris.

macaulaybulkin: rodrigovanilla: bjj humor RANDSOM HAHAHA Op, op, op, omoplata stye! Heeeeey, sexy armbars~!  *dances* (See what getting caught in a bread-cutter choke does to my mind?) Also, that photo really needs to come out as a BJJ Valentine’s Day card. Mr. Gorgeous up there should get on that with a quickness.
