As an 'MMA meathead' how do you view yourself?

[RealManOfSteel]

I can't pretend to be an experienced fighter, but almost every poster defending allegations made against their school, as well as every media report about MMA seems to show the sport in a less than favourable light.
God forbid people engaging in a combat sport should actually FIGHT. Of course there's nothing wrong with Olympic TKD or boxing.

I mean, if the MMA community as a whole is what it's shown to be on TV than it's amazing we still exist.

This has all been said before, but what I want to know, is how we view ourselves.

I'll start. I am starting BJJ, Judo and Wrestling soon, so obviously I can't harbor a desire to be a beastly quick scoper on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

Of course I am not allowed to read any books longer than 240 pages, on topics like politics or social commentary.

I can't know words like droll, or type in civilized English, even though when a respectful and humble dojo owner ventures to this forum to defend himself, he is allowed to call racist, sexist insults without paragraphs, periods or anything resembling literacy.

So go ahead, let's share the things we aren't supposed to enjoy.

Civilised company, films that aren't directed by Michael Bay, food other than meat. All of us MMA fans just blunder about the place and break things when we don't get what we want, or are addressed with words that have more than two syllables.

[RealManOfSteel]

Michael Bay. Ugh. I just don't get the attraction of CGI explosions.

If people can even make a good war movie without gratuitous special effects (Jarhead, anyone?) than how can he get away with it?

[Emevas]

I can't see myself because my heat composed of meat is lacking eyes.

EDIT: also, correct usage and application of the words "cogent argument"

When I wear Tapout at McDonalds I know people are too scared of me to start a fight so I order 2 big macs, a cheeseburger, fries and 10 chicken nuggets to up my protein intake just to make sure everyone knows not to fuck with me.

Sometimes I go to Watahburger. And if they don't get me my fucking cheeseburger on time than I'll fuck some loser up. Oh wait.

[Lysol]

^ What is this sometimes? I find that I can't even enjoy a cheeseburger without maiming four people in the process

I used to be an HKD guy that smoked pot, wore a pony tail, ate Pizza, played WOW, didn't shave my chest, and masturbated to Hustler 6 times a day.

Now... I don't smoke at all, my hair is high and tight, I eat only beansprouts, Salmon, and Cottage Cheese... have no time for online fantasy games, but I get laid all the time with girls that could pose in Hustler.

Oh... and I still don't shave my chest hair. It's a straight up Austin Powers Carpet underneath my Rash Guard.

[RealManOfSteel]

Good on you Tex. You're an inspiration to MMAAANkind.

[omoplatypus]

even though i indulge myself with mma/grappling/judo training, i still enjoy finer things.

right now, i'm sipping an absolutely delectable pink champagne while eating a light and fluffy vegan quiesce and relaxing my feet in a sharper image foot spa.

tomorrow i'm going shopping for matching authentic silk kimono, with my "special friend", phrost.

anywho, i must confirm my ticket order for the celine dion farewell tour (front row seats, squeeeeeel!!!!!)

toodles ;)
