Corporate Jiu Jitsu?
23.
I renamed my blog in haste after I changed the wordpress theme for this site. It was just a random thought that popped up and I typed away. I think it's lame but have not been able to think of anything. Been thinking about it for almost two weeks.
In the meantime, I'll leave it for now. I was trying to think of a name that would describe what this blog was about but I guess not much came to mind. I don't mean to get all martial-artsy philosophical and shit, but jiu-jitsu and life have a lot in common.
Jiu-jitsu is about using brains intead of brawn. It's not about using force and hurting your opponent but rather to use superior skill in order to get compliance. Not much different from life is it? If you have a peanut, why would you want to use a hammer to smash it open when the smartest way is to just gently squeeze? Deeeeeeeeep right?
jj rewards patience and hard work. It's also fun. And isn't this all what life is about?
Well anyway today I got my ass kicked in the gym so that definitely was not fun.
*Forgot to add that the "corporate" part came from this band that I liked a lot when I was in college, Something Corporate. I always thought the band name was pretty cool.
Enjoy this article?

hi! I haven’t visited your site in so long. Like the new change.
Project 365 huh? That’s great. I sometimes tell myself that I would do that too, but then.. I don’t know what happens. Excuses happen. I hope that yours will be a success!

Thanks!
Taking a picture a day is not hard at all. Do you own a point & shoot? Or even a camera phone? I carry my point and shoot with me everywhere.
Try it for a month.
