Happy Friday! Fall NY Open Edition

Happy Friday everyone!

It’s been one of those silly weeks where a bunch of little things go wrong (amazon package mix ups, getting to work late, pen exploding in my hands and ink getting everywhere… those kinds of things) but I dunno, I’m still in pretty high spirits.

Our team is heading up to New York this weekend for IBJJF’s New York Open, so that’ll be exciting. I decided not to compete to let my thumb/wrist continue to heal, but I’ll be running around coaching our teammates…. so if you see a woman hopefully just jogging, but possibly sprinting to a mat, hello, and I apologize in advance for all the yelling I’m going to do.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday! No Swear November Edition

Happy Friday everyone!

Recently I decided that I’ve been been a little too loosey-goosey when it comes to dropping some f-bombs, and so in an effort to curtail that habit, I’m doing No Swear November: for the next 30 days I will be keeping it (fairly) clean.

And if I mess up and swear? A dollar will be going to Operation Smile– an organization that provides surgical procedures around the world to children with cleft palates.

If anyone wants to join me, just comment or let me know- otherwise, wish me luck y’all, and have a great weekend!

Happy Friday! Time to Start Getting Spooky

Happy Friday!

Fall is one of my favorite seasons, and Halloween my favorite holiday- it’s the fun of all the other holidays without the familial pressure of sitting down for dinner or stressing too much about who is going to visit who’s house….

Anyway, to start to get you all into the season, here’s the skit from SNL of a man who’s also all about this season, David S Pumpkins. Watch, enjoy, and have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday! All The Gifs

Happy Friday everyone!

Figured I would go through the collection of gifs I have saved and share them with you all… and relate them to jiu jitsu (because, duh). Anyway, here we go!

 

Someone submits you with something you haven’t seen before:

 

Someone has a bad day at work/just in general and starts to try and work out their aggression during training:

 

When you pull off a fancy(ish) technique while rolling:

 

 

And of course, bowing out after a particularly hard class/training session:

 

That’s what I have for now- have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday! Aging Face Edition

Happy Friday everyone!

No, I actually did not end up using the aging face app…. thing. Firstly, my phone is getting old and slow and so I’m becoming really picky about what apps I install on it.

And second, I resemble my father so much that I’m pretty sure I know how I’m going to look when I get older- I’ll just be a paler, more feminine version.

Same strong chin and everything. Yay, genetics!

I just hope I will also be in a position when I’m older to adopt 4 dogs as well.

Adding them because well, who doesn’t like dogs? 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday! You Stay Classy, Philadelphia

Happy Friday everyone!

This is too funny not to share and I’m not even sure how to begin to explain just how quintessentially Philadelphian this is-

Best of luck to this guy, I guess.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday! Flashback Edition

This is sort of out of nowhere, but Marcelo Garcia came to our academy for a seminar forever ago, and I found out recently that he’s only a year older than I am.

I think at the time I was under the impression that he was much older than me- but we were both babies in this photo! That just blew my mind a little when I found out.

That’s all, really- have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday! Incubus Edition

Happy Friday everyone!

Not much to report, so here’s some Incubus to get you through your Friday- have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday! Office Space Printer Edition

Happy Friday everyone!

I threatened to have an “Office Space” moment with the printer in my office earlier this week- for those who aren’t sure what I’m talking about, or just need the satisfying sight of someone taking a baseball bat to a malfunctioning printer, take a look at the video below:

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday! Sawbones Edition

Happy Friday everyone!

So you all may have read how I have been getting into podcasts recently, and this is one I randomly found while searching for medical history podcasts (because I’m a nerd):

The hosts are a married couple who talk about all the silly and unusual things people have tried throughout history in the name of science and medicine. It’s pretty funny, and informative at the same time.

Check it out, and have a great weekend everyone!
