Say hello to the latest addition to the Mixed Martial Arts team at Heavy.com!
That's right, yours truly has found himself a job writing about Mixed Martial Arts and it actually pays something... crazy, I know.
Of course, there have been other "paying" jobs in the past that ended up paying me in pocket lint, but this one is a much more reliable venture, having been around for an extended period of time and coming to me courtesy of a guy I've come to trust in the business.
Now, this certainly isn't going to be "stay at home and never serve another plate of fries" type money, but it's a start. You've got to make your first buck before you can make your first million, right?
That being said, it's money and money for something that I've been doing religiously for the last five months pretty much for free, so there is no denying that it's an improvement. As great as exposure and opportunity is when it comes to the business of writing, exposure and opportunity with a little something something in the bank account each month is certainly a much more appetizing idea.
The move to Team Heavy as I'm going to call it will come with a little bit of a shift for Keyboard Kimura; some of the more regular pieces and top tier op-ed stuff will get moved over to Heavy, but that doesn't mean K2 is going the way of the dinosaur.
After all, I have a serious addiction to (a) the computer, (b) writing in general and (c) reading my own work and thinking how wonderful it is, so you know I'm going to find a way to keep spreading myself ridiculously thin and writing in as many places as possible.
But Team Heavy becomes the primary focus... so be sure to check out the site and find my work... all 37 of you.

Congrats Spencer!
I have a couple friends who enjoy MMA so I will be passing on your sites to them via facebook.
Thanks Newt!
Things are slowly coming together. Unfortunately, I'm not the most patient person in the world... but I'm learning.
