The Jiu-Jitsu Fighter in an Alternate Reality

Okay, so I'm messing around on the Internet today trying to find the latest video of Fedor's decision loss in the 2008 World Combat Sambo Championships, and it's nowhere to be found. Getting a little frustrated and bored, I start searching for Jiu-Jitsu links and come across a crazy Web page with pictures of our fighters and links to the school's Website and our blog. The mouse cursor is all funky, with a yo-yo string attached to the pointer and our Jiu-Jitsu patch logo bouncing around off the other end of the string. I'm checking out the page and see a quote attributed to me, "Be like water. When you can't go through a brick wall, go around it." I'm beginning to hear the Twilight Zone music playing in the background of my mind.

The whole thing is starting to get a little too weird for me. It's like I'm in an alternate reality where the blog has evolved into a life of its own, with a crazy bouncing Jiu-Jitsu patch jumping all over the page. I begin whipping the cursor from side to side across the page just so I can watch it. For a moment, this little game becomes the proverbial train wreck. I don't want to watch it, but I can't take my eyes off of it.

I snap out of it and make my way to the bottom of the page and see a photo of Carlos winking at me. Well, I'm sure he's not actually winking at me, but I like to think that he is. The text above his photo attributes the page creation to him, so I take look at the URL to see exactly where this is all coming from, and then it all makes sense.

This was obviously a Webpage design project Carlos did for one of his classes. What a fun project and a thrill for us that he chose Roseberry's to highlight.


Now Carlos is winking at you too! Check it out: Roseberry's Judo and Jiu-Jitsu
