New Beginnings

Rising from the ashes of a life he once knew, a new kid is born…

I can’t say much, but I can say that real life is some interesting ass shit.  This is what I looked like last week.

I have no idea how I’m going to look next week, but my guess is it will involve [...]

More Videos from Thailand Plus… JACKPOT!

I still haven’t uploaded any of the videos I have, but here are a couple more.
First, here’s a faster paced match (so mom can see that there are different kinds of matches.)
[Casey Payne (blue wifebeater) vs John Jones]
And here’s another “slow” paced match. The reason the action looks slow is because it’s being watched [...]

I’m Still Alive!

OK, sorry to disappear like that. I’m having… one of those weeks. Something you’ll get to read about in about 6 months or so
I still haven’t done anything with the Thailand competition movies… but Joel (a competitor in Thailand) was kind enough to upload one of the matches we had together. [...]

The Final Results from Thailand

This one’s going to be a quick one too, but I thought I’d let you guys know what’s poppin’.
No Gi was a blast. My weight division only had 2 people (three including myself) and I got to fight both of them. I submitted them both (will, maybe right more about the matches later [...]

Off to Thailand to Compete

If you’re interested, the website for the tournament is [SEA Grappling Games]
I plan on returning [...]

One of Those “Busy” Weeks

Actually, most of my weeks are busy weeks, but this one had me running around a bit more than usual.
I figured out all my shit for applying to school this week. I’ll be trying to get a scholarship as well which be real nice. It’d last for the full 4 years and give [...]

I Live in a Fantasy World

I’m not proud of it or anything, but on my ride home tonight I went through 2 red lights because it’s 3 am and there are ZERO cars out.  A scooter pulls up next to me honking it’s horn.  It’s a cop waving me to pull over.  I pull over, he sees that I’m a [...]

JORDAN!

I wonder how long this phenomenon has gone on. When doing anything that mimics taking a basketball shot, do you shout “Jordan!” (or Kobe! or whatever it is now)? And I wonder if something similar exists for other sports. I know Dave Chappelle did a skit about this that was pretty funny.
I [...]
