Studying the mercenaries of the high middle ages really gives you some notions about how to consciously build a career.

Rule 1 of all professional work: F U Pay Me
Rule 2: Never go down with someone else's ship
Rule 3: If all else fails, sack the Vatican (ok that one might not really apply)

I am a highly evolved creature with free will (outsourcing all my discipline to coffee and playlists)

When people who don't know MMA picture MMA they picture stoic dudes clashing in an epic battle or roided out monsters brutalizing each other. Both wrong. It's your weird cousin Kyle who punched a hole in the wall versus a mountain-dwelling Dagestani kid who learned gay people existed yesterday.

When you try to run your own business only 33.78% of the time will involve actually Doing The Job. It's too late now. You've been hoodwinked. Doing The Job is no longer The Job. Now Your Job is Meetings, Proposals, Awkward Conversations and all the parts of Doing Your Job you used to hate.

First week back to MMA & combat sports in general after a couple months: small scale Sumo tournament, grappling, muay thai drills, some lifting:

body beat up, body not beat up as much as anticipated. Call it a win.

Participated in the first sumo tournament in my area in almost a century and didn't die, but my back IS a little cranky with me for deciding to be a forklift.

I just put beans in a blender. I am so, so sorry; the world of cuisine may rightly judge me

(Wasn't bad tbh)

I don't know who needs to hear this but zercher squats are good, actually

The best way to be happy is to eat soup. Soup is life. Soup is love. Soup is....enlightenment.
