2 unrelated, but equally important topics!

1). Just ate at the new Mexican restaurant down the street "Fiesta Jalisco." It was good. As a result, I will no longer be pushing Elaine to look for a bigger house to move into. I am willing to live here for as long as the Mexican restaurant is open or I die. I assume the latter will influence the former, and then the former will influence the latter. More plainly put, the longer it stays open the more likely I am to die of clogged arteries and the longer I am dead the less likely they are to have consistent business. Also, why do Mexican restaurants always have such hot freakin plates?


I had the the huevos rancheros and they were delicious. 

2). I test for my Gracie Jiu Jitsu blue belt tomorrow. I am excited to do so and it has been a lot of working getting to this point. Jeff Curran will be the instructor administering that test. (Picture of Jeff Curran, Marcello Garcia, and me; Jeff is on the far left)


Now some of you might be saying, "I got a blue belt in Tae Kwondo when I was 7." First, congratulations. Second, GJJ has a different scale for belts. I am not saying that TKD isn't a worthy endeavor, but the time and competence it takes to get belts in GJJ and TKD are totally different.  In our branch it takes a minimum of two years to get your blue belt. In addition to the time requirement, you have to show you are proficient at the fundamentals of GJJ. So for me, earning the chance to test for my blue belt is an accomplishment I am pretty proud of.

If I pass I will post a video of me receiving the belt for everyone to see. Until then, have a great day.
