Why Would You Do That?

Conversations with a guy in a bar was posted by BJJGrrl on the 25th of June.  On the 26th of June I found myself in a similiar situation.  I was having dinner with my non-jits friends and of course I’m talking about jits.  This new guy (he’s a really nice kid, he just doesn’t know how jits is) in the group looked at me and screwed his face up into a WTH expression.  Total confusion and disbelief on his face.  Then he asked in what appeared to be disgust, “Why would you do that?”  My dear friend interjected and explained things to him in a very nice politically correct way.  This happens ALL of the time and anoys the wiz out of me.  I’m always polite, because they just don’t know.  I will always answer in a polite politically correct way.  So, I don’t want to actually tell somebody this but these things do run through my head.  So, here and now, I gotta let the sarcastic smartass out!  I want to express the crazy thoughts that run through my head everytime someone asks me that question!

  1. Why don’t you do jits?
  2. Because I want to live my life, not watch it pass by me.
  3. It’s a Helluva lot more fun than being a couch potato.
  4. Because I don’t want to be “FLUFFY” like you.

    I confess, #17 and 27 are my faves.

    • I have to agree Georgette, the BJJ community is amazing. It is full of wonderful, caring, and generous people. There is something about BJJ that builds character, and also weeds out the people who choose not to develop their character… I hope you get well soon! :-)

    My fave is Number 2!

      I could write a book on number two. The human body is the most beautiful and amazing thing, everybody has one, but only a few attempt to realize it’s potential. I think I have a new tag line for my blog. Thanks Shark girl, and I’m so glad that you found my new website. It just wouldn’t be a “real” website without an International Woman of Mystery. ;-)
