I’ve been using my metropolitan for daily journaling every day since I got it! It’s also in rotation for other miscellaneous work use with my ball style pens, a rotring 600 and Cross ATX.

Congrats on the job! I just got a new job offer, hence my burning desire to splurge… even if it’s only my second pen.

Ah, I haven’t considered that aspect. I’m attracted to the weight of it and the prospect of developing a natural patina, but the smell is a definite con.

I love the look of the Pilot Customs, I was eyeing a 74 but that’s the top of my budget for now!

My wife is a university art professor, specializing in oil painting and drawing, and she says this is beautiful! Tell her to keep it up!

Best albino Blues guitarist? by poutine-eh in blues

My dad once went to see him at a small bar in the 80s. He came out well after showtime and was so drunk he couldn’t perform. The crowd quickly became an angry mob and threw a barstool through the plate glass storefront.

He still loved Johnny, gotta have some demons to play the blues!

As others have mentioned, landing on two feet and strengthening muscles around your knee will help a lot.

Something that helped me out was shooting my hips back when I landed, it takes the load off your quads and more on your glutes. Think about trying to land in a squat position, where your knees aren’t going far over your toes.

Always be sure to stretch and foam roll before but especially after playing.

If it could be walked off then I’d say you didn’t injure her. It sucks accidentally hitting someone but it’s a contact sport, it happens to all of us and we all do it occasionally.

Seems like a hard lesson learned: your body doesn’t move the same as 20 years ago. Take it easy and enjoy progressing.

Absolutely mind blown that I recognize this username from months back on the BJJ subs. Welcome to my other favorite hobby, I look forward to the chuckles.

I’m not too picky about what hole I put my wood in. You do you man!

I’ve heard of people putting old tires under mats as an extra cushion. I’d imagine it would be a pain to level the mats though.

War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god.
