    Took my daughter to the inflatable bounce place today. Parents aren't allowed to bounce, so I had to hang out on the sidelines. Inevitably, I had to pee, so I went to the restroom. That's when I saw my new favorite simple business idea. Not cleaning toilets... Selling indoor ad slots. $50...

    Etsy Despite being banned years ago for a stupid reason and not being allowed to appeal the ban even though they claim to have an appeal process, I made my way back. What I did was formed a new LLC, opened a business bank account, got an EIN, then opened a new Etsy account using the business's...

    Final Update of 2025 A lot happened this year. I went from getting my a$$ kicked in tournaments to dominating most white belts most of the time. I competed in 17 competitions at white, got promoted to blue, then competed in 3 comps at blue, completing just shy of 100 matches. I became the...

    Friday Night MMA Sparring I've been to 3 hard sparring MMA sessions on Fridays with last night being the most recent. This "class," if you want to call it that, is brutal. Part of the issue is I show up at 4:30 to drill BJJ and at 5pm I stay for family BJJ class until 6. So I've already got work...

    AGF Tulsa... Didn't go well. My first opponent dropped out, so I got bumped to a higher weight class in the 20 yr olds group. My new first opponent was a young heavy wrestler who got my back and locked in a choke. Then he used his legs to stretch me out. It was incredibly painful, but I survived...

    Tournament 20, Match 100? Yesterday an opportunity opened up for one final tournament this year. It's American Grappling Federation in Tulsa. Originally, I wasn't going because it takes place the same day as an event at our gym. But then I learned it's a two-day event and the adults compete on...

    Most injury prevention comes from spending a lot of time on the mats. I think it makes you aware of positions that cause injury and how to avoid or negate them. I also think the body builds up a tolerance for training over time. It's like the more you train, the more conditioned you become for...

    Newbreed in Tulsa... I considered dropping the Absolute division once I saw the schedule. All 3 divisions would overlap, so I knew if I did the Absolutes, there was a good chance I'd lose all of my matches. In the end, I assumed I was bitching out and said, "screw it, let's do it." Well, my...
