Unorthodox

I’ve started my part in going green for the Earth.  Just switched my phone bill to electronic invoicing, seeing as how I check what I owe with my phone and then pay online.  No trees harmed, just zeroes and ones and the energy required.  And how was I rewarded?  With a flu.  Minus the vomiting.  I never liked that part, it’s never seemed natural to me … goddamnit, I’m wandering off topic again.

UNORTHODOX!  Me!  I am!

To get a little more unorthodox, I somehow modified a shoulder triangle to become a frontal rear-naked choke in Jiu-Jitsu class.  I switched from a Gable grip to a mechanical lock and somehow got the tap from it.  Still not entirely sure how it happened, all I know is it can’t be done on someone with massive shoulders.  So, I should be mostly safe for my weight class.  Heck, my entire approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu up until now has been unorthodox.

UNORTHODOX ANIME!  I watch!  Me!

I suppose truly unorthodox anime would watch me, or maybe that’s just in Soviet Russia …
My viewing of anime isn’t unorthodox, nor is my choice, so I guess I’m not really going anywhere with the whole Unorthodox schtick.  Unless it’s unorthodox that I haven’t watched a new anime in a while.  But that’s just more depressing than it is unorthodox, so yeah ….

About the closest animated thing I’ve watched that is new since Gundam UC episode 3 is the Red versus Blue season 9 trailer, featuring a lot of hard work from Monty Oum.  I think I’ve finally nailed what it is about most game characters who are armoured and armed such as Spartans or Gears.  It’s the swagger.  They don’t really have one.  Go load yourself up with 30 pounds of gear all over your body and then tell me you don’t have a swagger when you walk.  Especially with knee pads.  Go do it!
This is something that I am aware of quite well.  Even having a thigh holster and drop leg, I have more swagger than a Spartan does.  It’s just something that can’t really be mo-capped since you’re in a skin-tight suit with balls everywhere.  And it sort of disappoints me.
But oh well, the trailer looks badass and awesome and I can’t wait to start the new season.

In the meantime, Unorthodox Man … AWAY!
