Life Lessons From Martial Arts
2008-04-28 05:07:00 Some little things that I've noticed that apply to both fighting and life for everybody:-Sometimes attacking is a great way to defend.-The more you pretend to know, the chance that any random Joe will mess with you decreases, but the chance that someone that knows what he or she is doing will call you out on your BS and wreck your shit grows exponentially.-Position before Submission. (BJJ mantra)-Being too stubborn to tap out when you should can stroke one's ego, but only indicates a lack of skill and maturity to everyone else watching. It also results in a lot of broken limbs.-Technique really is more important than strength, but anyone who uses that fact to justify a lack of strength probably doesn't have that great of technique, either.(similarly...)-Being much smaller or much, much larger really is a big disadvantage. Don't bitch, don't excuse yourself, figure out how to work around it.-Tradition is not an excuse for stupidity.-When imposing your will doesn't work against ...

Life Lessons Of A Barbie Jeep
2008-04-12 05:37:00 Only 5 more days until baby Lucy comes into the world. Yikes. I am so ready to see what she looks like.And scared to death at the same time.Wednesday was beautiful and I enjoyed the warm air on our front porch with the wonderwife and the little one. It was becoming spring before our eyes with the mud and slop making way for the beauty of the grass and the smell of fresh cow manure. The myriad of felines were out enjoying the sun, occasionally stopping to hop up on our laps for a quick rubdown before proceeding with whatever projects they had planned for the day."Yes I see you human and I will grace your lap for but a moment, as there are mice to eat and flowers to poop on."Ah country life.The little one wanted to ride her Barbie Jeep and being that I was the only one available that was not pregnant or under the age of four, I was deemed the official Jeep digger outer. When we had put the Jeep away for the winter, we had made its own official parking place that was very easily acce...

46. Life lessons from "The Godfather of Fame" Phillip Johnson
2008-04-09 17:30:00 Sometimes referred to as the Paris Hilton of architecture, Phillip Johnson was one of the most divisive architects of the 20th Century. He took on contrarian views and said taboo things that would outrage other architects thus making him even more famous.I believe he was the one that said we architects are whores. If you are a non-architect reading this blog I will let you know that most architects believe in Architecture like most people believe in God. We take it very seriously, to the point of fanaticism most of the time.So when PJ said this, we blew our tops, including yours truly. I have always despised him and in a lot of ways, I still do. He represented everything empty and shallow and demeaning to my holy profession. In retrospect though, I think PJ is just as good as he is evil. He was right, and he was wrong (as he would say), he was human.He mastered the art of fame not just for himself but he was the godfather to others.Love him or hate him he deserves at least 15 minute...

2008-03-10 19:53:00 death wants more death, and its webs are full: I remember my father’s garage, how child-like I would brush the corpses of flies from the windows they thought were escape- their sticky, ugly, vibrant bodies shouting like dumb crazy dogs against the glass only to spin and flit in that second larger than hell or heaven onto the edge of the ledge, and then ...

2008-01-23 22:31:00 "The pat on the back, the arm around the shoulder, the praise for what was done right and the sympathetic nod for what wasn't are as much a part of golf as life itself." -Gerald Ford, Former President of the United States of America, Gerald Ford books// I'm terrible at golf! I took a lesson last year, and after the instructor observed a few of my practice swings, he said to me, "Is there anything that you can think about that you don't want to kill before you swing the club?" For some reason, I just want to knock the dimples off that little ball! My cousin, on the other hand, is a scratch golfer.

7 Life Lessons I Learned Playing Halo
2007-11-12 14:56:00 Yesterday, I had a blast playing Halo 3 for the first time after hearing so much about the game. It lead me to reflect on the countless hours I’ve poured into the Halo series over the past 6 years. Sure, I might not have much to show for it, but that time was thoroughly enjoyed. In retrospect, I even learned some important life lessons that could help me succeed.1. Hesitation is death - In Halo, nothing will get you cracked on the back of the skull faster than hesitation. The same is true in real life. If you waste time worrying about what your competitors are doing, you’ll never succeed. Sure, if you take a chance you might get burned, but you need to accept that risk and make a move. If you fail, learn from the experience and try again. Success comes from being aggressive and actively seeking opportunities.2. Success requires experience - Obviously natural skill contributes to Halo success, but what really makes a solid player is experience. If you jump into a game without und...

Life Lessons - Dr. Lummaa's Response
2007-08-01 13:59:00 A few weeks ago I called out Bruce Chapman, President of the Discovery Institute, for insulting the work of biologist Virpi Lummaa. Dr. Lummaa found support for the grandmother hypothesis to explain why humans go through menopause. See my earlier post "Life Lessons" here.Dr. Lummaa contacted me with the following response:Dear EricI must say that when I read the title of your email, my heart turned around and I was scared to read what an earth is going on. We recently published a paper in PNAS about the effects of male co-twin testosterone in utero on their sisters, and I have had lots of positive letters from the twins themselves since the publication of the paper... but now I thought someone must have got offended.But it was far more amusing, thanks so much for forwarding this to me.

Life Lessons From Noach's Ark
2007-07-25 12:12:00 Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something REALLY big. Don't listen to critics -- do what has to be done. Build on high ground. For safety's sake, travel in pairs. Two heads are better than one. Speed isn't always an advantage. The cheetahs were on board, but so were the snails. If you can't fight or flee -- float! Don't forget that we're all in the same boat. Remember that the ark was built by amateurs and the Titanic was built by professionals. Remember that the woodpeckers INSIDE are often a bigger threat than the storm outside. Don't miss the boat. No matter how bleak it looks, if God is with you, there's always a rainbow on the other side.Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.
