More shameless bragging

[apoweyn]

My wife bought me three months of BJJ classes for Valentine's Day. So nice.

[Merryprankster]

1. Where?
2. Are you actually going to go?

[KC Elbows]

****, that's double the bragging rights. Not only do you get the training time, but your wife's all for it. Have you trained in it before?

1) I did an intro class there a while back. We talked about it a little back then. The teacher's name is Jeremy Lafreniere.

2) You don't have to sound so shocked, ya wanker. :)

Hey, where can I buy/borrow/steal a gi?

Yeah, how about that!

Um, I've done one intro class at this same school. And MP and ST00 have shown me some things. But no, not really.

You'll want the A3 gold weave. It's comfortable, wears well and will shrink to fit you perfectly. It's what I wear and we're pretty close in size.

I should have an extra laying around if you need one. I'll be away this weekend though...

[apoweyn]

I think I'm closer to an A4 at the moment. *grumble*

6'1" and 220 lbs.

[Pork Chop]

Little do MP & ST00 know, but we're only copying them & studying their arts so that we can create the ultimate parody movie "Spinal Tap" (get it?)....

-BMore "Judo" Banga...

[apoweyn]

"But this one goes to A4."

[Pork Chop]

"Our grappling dummy is in severe danger of being trampled by a midget..."

[norther practitioner]

I'd go with the stinger (http://store.martialartsmart.net/newuniform.html)

Just 'cause your getting your arse handed to you doesn't mean need to look like one... or maybe I'm just sayin' that.

[norther practitioner]

Yes I was being sarcastic...

http://store.martialartsmart.net/korean-martial-arts-judo-uniforms.html

could be good....

I figured Gene hasn't been in here yet.

[apoweyn]

Or the Midnight Warrior. No way I'd leave the BJJ school with a folding chair shoved up my arse if I showed up wearing that!

[rogue]

Your wife is cool. Soon you'll be falling out of boxing rings just like MP.:D

Yes she is. :)

And if it means recovering my balance and then pummeling the other dude, I'll fall out of the occassional ring. :D

[red5angel]

That was on purpose, just the power of MP's ability to take people down, sometimes it gets so out of hand he almost takes himself down.

[Merryprankster]

Crap. I'm never living this down am i?

I hope you guys post vids of yourself playing tap tap games so I can make fun of YOU.

grumble...

If it makes you feel any better, I just fell out of my office.

[Merryprankster]

I just fell off your wife. That made me feel a lot better.

Ok, I'm falling out my chair laughing at that.

[apoweyn]

B*stard.

:)

[Merryprankster]

Hey, that's Ralek to you!

[apoweyn]

Drat! Just when I think I've got it figured out. You're like Professor Moriarty. But lankier.

[Merryprankster]

And I spend more time with your wife.

You're pretty brave when she's not around to stick up for me.

[red5angel]

dang....Ap are you going to le thim get away with that?! I mean he can't even stay on his feet much less your wife!!! The direspect!!!!

[apoweyn]

Well, I thought about reaching through the monitor and throttling him. But in trying I broke a nail. And then my anger subsided in the wake of concern for said nail.

I dunno, Professor Moriarty spends a lot of time with Ap's wife. At least, I thought I saw the professor sneaking into Ap's house with someone apelike in a dress. Does Ap have a sister?:D

[red5angel]

that's just Ap. His wife is hot, I'll send you the internet link to prove it ;)

If it's any consolation, my wife got me a book on foundation work last year. Guess what she wants done this year?

So see, while I may get the upper hand online here and there, justice prevails in the end. You get bjj lessons, I get to mix concrete.

Gotta go, but methinks I went too far with the project slow guy thing. I apologize, it was not intended as a serious or even close to accurate comment, ap.

[apoweyn]

Nah, don't worry. I was just reading over instructions for the FAFSA.

It takes me a while. ;)

You going to school? I've just gone back after many years, largely inspired by a few of our less savory characters on here.;)

Yep. After a decade out, I'm finally reentering the hallowed halls of education. Graduate degree in psychology, all goes well.

Hey me too! I'm looking to get into criminal psychology but I start my courses here in May.

I'm not so far along toward my degree, but enjoying my classes. I need to take a philo class and poli science so that I can better follow the thread drift around here, but my main emphasis is english and teaching.

[KC Elbows]

Soon enough, this will be the most educated forum on the internet.

Or, alternately, three separate schools will have computers with this website all over their internet history.

I'm applying for clinical psychology myself.

[KC Elbows]

Clinical, criminal, what's the difference?:)

English was my undergraduate major, cut tragically short when I didn't bother to read Wuthering Heights and gave a two-hour speech on the use of cartoon cat imagery in English literature.

The answer is always B.

[red5angel]

That's option B for me. If I can't work with psychos who actually commit crimes then I will work with psychos who might... :)

[norther practitioner]

I had enough for now w/ 4 years of engineering...

I might go back some day, to get some more edjumaacashon.

****! I think I've been looking at this all wrong!

[red5angel]

apparently you've never been learned by a cop holding a fancy phone book ;)

[apoweyn]

In a maneuver now known as "The Chiklis."

[norther practitioner]

I don't know what I'd want to go back for.. I've thought about a few things, including Law, however the fact that I transposed almost an entire section of the answer sheet and still got an average score... I thought I'd leave the tough stuff to JP... Then I thought either Water Resource Engineering or Environmental Management, but figured they would be too much for me right now.....

[apoweyn]

My father's (yep, I've got one of them too) what you might call a water resource engineer.

[norther practitioner]

I've got my B.S. in Environmental Resources and Forest Engineering, which is hibbidy dibbidy for Civil Engineering for smart tree huggers.

[apoweyn]

You win. "English" is pretty straightforward by comparison. :)

[Christopher M]

Psych grad students HOOOOOOOOOO!

[apoweyn]

Shoulda guessed. :)

[norther practitioner]

I wanted to be a philosophy major.. but then my father asked me to tell him what I'd be with a philosophy degree...
I replied a philosopher, and he asked if that incorporated staying at home any longer I got the hint to go with something more practical... little did I know...............:cool:

Well, it took me a decade longer to piece together that same logic. But I finally have, so off to earn a practical degree.

English is cool mind you. But this editing gig is for the birds.

[Christopher M]

Do you have any specific interests in clinical psych yet?

[norther practitioner]

But this editing gig is for the birds.

After the last dozen or so things I've read, I'd think it was birds.

[rubthebuddha]

editing's decent much of the time (aside from crap for pay, which is why i don't do it professionally), but do you ever find yourself in edit mode when you're reading for pleasure?

i do it all the time (journalism BA), and i caught myself last night getting upset because the new dune pre-pre-quel didn't hyphenate a compound modifier. :o

[norther practitioner]

compound modifier.

What size particulate was it...

sorry...

engineering stuff..

[KC Elbows]

Ironically, years ago my goal was to go to school as a psych major. Took some courses, read a lot of the works of early psychologists, then realized that I had no capacity to watch other people's mental suffering as the main part of my vocation.

So I decided to teach and be the cause of suffering.

As for jobs, mine makes great money and makes my hands bleed, and if I go in a sauna, I can feel years of splinters trying to escape. I've got good skills for working on my own house in the future, and I've reengineered my life so that my costs are very small. I just want to make a modest living and have time to continue studies, and as long as I've done martial arts and guitar, everyone has said I'm a really good teacher, and I enjoy it and have a good tolerance for the annoying sides of it, so I'm going with it.

[norther practitioner]

That sounds good KC.. wish I could lower my bills and just be happy w/ what I'm making....

It took years to do this. I've paid over $20,000 in credit card debt off in my life, not including credit from cars and homes, and in the process, learned how to avoid that whole problem in the future by actually having a savings and emergency funds. That way, if I end up having to use credit, it's much less than it would have been in the past.

Yeah, on the great day of the wall, everyone gets a free pass as long as they run over a credit card executive and a collections operator.

I once did collections, for about three months. I was the worst collections agent ever. It was fun tracking down people claiming to be dead and stuff, but calling honest folks who were recovering from mistakes and treating them like criminals is about the lowest form of behavior I can think of. I had a habit of losing such files in my circular file, accidentally of course.

[norther practitioner]

LOL, wish I could find a collector like you for my visa bill...:D
