art skills two
The two things I understand best are stand-up comedy and martial arts. And those things require an ultimate grasp of the truth. You have to be objective about your skills and abilities to compete in both.
art ufc firsts
I've been involved in mixed martial arts since 1997 when I first started working for the UFC.
art fighting boxing
Although not considered a martial art, boxing is really a martial art. It's a very limited martial art as long as you agree to just box... but in an actual physical fight against someone who's just a wrestler, you're going to get killed.
art mma discipline
The best way to pursue any discipline is the martial art way.
art games people
I've done jiujitsu a huge chunk of my life, and I try to spend a lot of time educating people on the nuances, the subtleness of the ground game. It's a big part of mixed martial arts.
art wall selfish
When you're jealous, especially of someone else's art or creations you automatically put up these selfish walls that reinforce your stupid ideas. It's hard to pull those walls down and look at what you're hiding. Look at your own weakness and realize that the jealousy came from knowing that you're intimidated by someone else's work, and that when you compare it to your own, you fall short.
art vehicle human-potential
Martial arts are a vehicle for developing your human potential.
art moving thinking
I see martial arts as moving forms of meditation. When you're sparring or drilling techniques, you can't think of anything else.
art thinking mma
There's a very famous Miyamoto Musashi quote. "Once you understand the way broadly, you can see it in all things." The idea is once you understand what excellence is all about, whether it's in painting, or carpentry or martial arts, that you see how that excellence manifests itself in any discipline. I think that all the different things that I do enhance all the other things that I do.
art titles comedy
Comedy is really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title.
art funny-things ideas
Comedy is a funny thing, and it's really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title. You would never go to a club just to see "Live music," you would go to a jazz club to see jazz, a blues club to see blues, etc. But when you go to see "standup comedy," if you don't know the performers material, you really don't have any idea what you're gonna get.
agree assure believe people president press speak
I believe that we're doing the right thing. The press doesn't agree with the president on these things. The people I speak to assure me he is doing the right thing.

People want their 15 minutes and are willing to do anything to get it.

I've known that guy for over 10 years, and he's been stealing jokes and denying it from Day One, ... Joke thieves are a huge problem in the stand-up comedy community, and every now and then one of them becomes successful. That's what you're looking at here with 'Carlos.'
