Wednesday: March 01, 2006 - FSU Upsets #1 Duke It also should be noted that I RULE ALEXADEX. (See Below).

Thursday: March 02, 2006 - A Good Day I also won a non-sanctioned (much to my dismay) poker game last night. It was a weird group with only Jamie, Michael and me as part of the regular group. We were graced by the presence of Marty since he didn't have rehearsal as well Heather and Jimmy, two of Chris' friends from his days at the bio lab. Who won? Me. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Weekend: March 05, 2006 - Sippy Cup Let's see now. Working backwards...on Sunday I finally got around to buying my karate cup. Back in the day (12 years ago) when I played soccer and basketball the Cup we had was squishy. There wasn't going to be a lot of contact so it was more of a Just In Case sort of thing. Nowadays apparently they only make the baseball kind. Rigid plastic made with the intent of scraping your inner-thigh (at best). I tried to play it cool at Sports Authority when the 17 year old salesgirl asked me what I needed. Oh, just some new tennis balls and some wrap for the handle. I snuck back to where the cups were and after about 10 minutes sadly discovered there were no soft ones. I weaseled back up to the check out line and when I got to the front the salesgirl said, "Oh, you don't need a hard cup for tennis" No kidding. "And you can't return it...no matter what" No matter what? What if there's a severed penis in it when I open it?

On Saturday we hung out with chris and his gang. We played a lot of Hoopla and Balderdash. I'm not sure if I don't like because there's a BALD in the title or if it's just because I suck at coming up with other definitions of words. Jimmy and Heather (no link?!) brought some donuts and I ate three in about two minutes right before we left. Big mistake.

On Friday...it was Barbara's birthday at work (the dreaded 2-6) and Chris and I stopped to get her treats at Publix before work. For lunch the three of us met up with jamie and Liz at Decent Pizza (I guess technically the four us [+Liz] met up with Jamie but whatever). When I got home my under-knee (I think it's called a tendon) started hurting and it still hasn't stopped. Alas. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Monday: March 06, 2006 - Quadrupeds I can't say how much I enjoy playing the Alexa Game. For only 10 minutes a day it's fun and it's a really great concept. There are people on there that take it much more seriously than I do (I would have to imagine) and while I think it would be nice to have $10m I think the amount of dedication it would take would ruin the fun aspects of it. I'm totally sold on the concept and maybe next year I'll offer to help code a Mutual Fund option since I think it would even more fun if you could buy into SuperStock with people in your group that you wouldn't ordinarily be able to buy with your limited funds at the beginning. A couple days ago I owned all of w3.org and that made me feel like I was cool; then I remembered it was just a game and they probably wouldn't consider making a <chompy> tag in my honor afterall.

Tuesday: March 07, 2006 - Yell-ow Belt Since I'm no longer kicking ass in the Alexa Game I might as well share the secret of huge increases. Find some news collection sites with heavy traffic (like news.google.com) and look for links from those sites to small, local online newspapers and television stations. You can consider it "a deal" if you can buy a stock for under $100 (but you should buy as many as you can even if it's over $100). Then wait until the next update and sell them all. I'm a total day trader and proud of it. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Thursday: March 09, 2006 - Angry Face I finally broke $2 million in Alexadex and would have made a ton more had the game updated at its normal time yesterday. I also have to give a shout out to Christine who was also asked to test for her yellow belt. I hope she and I continue to do well and move up through the belts together since it's really convenient having a partner who you can fight at work. I know, I could fight with Kurt but let's face it--he's just a white belt (oooh [so am I but no for long]). The next Belt Test is a week from this coming Saturday so I really need to set some time aside in the next week and practice my stupid half-mooning since that's the only thing I'm really concerned about. See, this update sucked since no one wanted to play poker. Let that be a lesson to you. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Weekend: March 12, 2006 - Weekend Update Friday: One of my semi co-workers was arrested for his third DUI AND driving without a license. I say semi-coworker because he works for the magazine and not really for RD. Nonetheless he called Kurt to bail him out of jail. Personally I think he needs to rot in jail before he kills someone. I know he's young but I don't care. It's not like he hasn't had chances before. At least he'll probably lose his sales job as my semi-coworker when they take his license away for the next five years. You dumbass.

Barbara left before she, chris and I could have our inaugural Photoshop Contest. I declare myself winner for today's picture because, well, you should read the Chompblog.

Saturday: Worked on scores all day until around 7pm when I got ready and headed over to jamie's Housewarming Party. I was the third to arrive (after Chris and michael natually). We were later joined by tami, ricky, pchris, elena and Tim. I gotsta give a SupDog out to Ricky who was offered a new job at the Department of Revenue so he can now leave the rat-infested bowels of the State System, my former place of employment, the JAC. It was also rumored that Kathy was the first out of her poker game up at brian's. Brian apparently won second, a position I never find myself in.

Sunday: Worked on EVEN MORE scores, including Soca Chompy. I know there's always an inate eye-roll when I talk about steel drum music but Soca Chompy is nothing to sneeze at. After revisions the score was over 27,000 notes. This ain't Margaritaville. I'm surprised I remembered when the "Count" feature is in Finale since I hadn't used it so long.

Thank GOD Desperate Housewives is going to be running against The Sopranos from now on. Last night's episode was pretty darn good so maybe they know that Sunday nights aren't a gimme anymore. I was a little disappointed that Paul didn't die when he was locked in the police van. I mean come on, like those hardened criminals wouldn't have killed him? Come on. I am really getting sick of the Susan parts of the story. Shouldn't there be some meat to character other than giggling and falling in love with all the wrong people? Who cares! If *I* were in charge here would be next week: Andrew would kill Bree, Andrew's lover would kill him. Paul would kill him. Martha Huber's sister would kill him. Mike would kill her. Dr. Ron would kill him. Karl would kill him. Susan would kill him. Zack would kill Susan. Julie would kill Zack. Stay tuned for next week! [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Monday: March 13, 2006 - UW-Milwaukee vs. Oklahoma My beloved UWM Panthers get to play Oklahoma in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. In case you live in Tallahassee (but under a rock) FSU was snubbed to make room for contenders like Air Force. Whatever. I wanted to go to the UWM game (since they made the Sweet 16 last year) but jamie informed me the cheapest tickets were around $150 and I would have had to have taken Thursday off from work to go to the game. If you're playing one of those College Pick 'Em pick UWM to win. They won't go to the Final Four of course but I have them beating both OU and Florida (take that Gators) before losing to Boston College (a team, I might add, they beat last year). So trust me--bet on the Panthers (but, you know, not too much, they did just get a new coach afterall and managed to lose to Missouri State). [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Tuesday: March 14, 2006 - Googlit Thanks for using FSU's colors Senator Stabenow. We appreciate that. In case you've never noticed it there is a small blue box in the right-hand navigation on this page. This tells me how people get to my site. So today, friends, I challenge you to come up with a clever way of coming to the Chompblog. Let me give a sample because except for brian and Rob (not that he reads this anyway) I'm not sure you've ever done it before. Go find some random (but somewhat original) words on a page and then start putting guesses into Google. As a bad example: Chompy does not like cichlids, when typed into Google, yields a Chompblog hit. Then you click that link and it shows up as the path to how someone got here. I'll post the best ones tomorrow.

I played my best game ever of Settlers of Catan, destroying the three computer players (all on expert/aggressive) 14-2-3-3. I would have never gone for more than 10 in person because hey, no one wants you to rub their kicked-ass in their face. I'm telling you right now going only for development cards and cities will ensure victory. That is all. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Wednesday: March 15, 2006 - Que Dia Have brian's posts lately been really really interesting or is it just me (and because they've been talking about me)? Yesterday he had a link where you could compare your photos and the software did a face recognition and compared yours to famous celebrities. My first choice was Billy Bob Thornton but I have a feeling he'd be more offended to find out he looks like me. In today's entry he has my role in the Uri! Movie! being played by Adam Sandler. Oh come on. I'm not that annoying. I do have a lot of fun voices and write catchy songs but still. I think Russell Crowe would make a much better me. Or, now, Chuck Norris (because behind my stubble is another first [now]).

Yesterday was my (observed) Sixth Month Anniversary at The RD. Kurt was kind enough to take us all out to Paradigm (along with jamie). With Barb now gone my new role as Barbara 2.0 has swung into high gear. While she's frolicking with her new hubby in Panama I'm slaving away trying to keep the spammers out of her sites and sending polite but firm emails to people wanting to exchange links with our Christian website. I always say something like this: While we applaud your noble efforts in spreading the Word we unfortunately do not participate in link exchanges. I wish you the best luck with all your projects in His name. God Bless. That sounds pretty good, eh? Hopefully she'll be back stateside soon for to tell me where everything is. I spend way more time looking for things than I do making changes. She was really, really good about commenting things off which makes all the difference in the world for someone unfamiliar with the sites. Thanks Barb!

Last night I almost died. I'm not fucking around. I almost died. I decided to reclaim my kitchen from the roaches that decided to take up residence. Armed with six rolls of paper towel, two cans of RAID and three squeezies of 409 I went inch by inch cleaning and fumigating. Much to my surprise I didn't find a single live roach and of the dozens of dead ones none were too big for me to not be able to scoop up. As my reward for liberating the kitchen I decided I was going to treat myself to some hot dogs on the grill. Chompy and I were standing outside in the backyard and I lit the grill, as I've done hundreds of times in the past, except the flame ran down the hose and caught the top of the propane tank on fire. It was at this point I really started freaking out. I yelled at Chompy to go in the house but she was pooping and needed a little more time. Not giving her the option I picked her up by the collar and threw her in the house. Naturally, my fire extinguisher was in my car so I had to settle for dousing it with multiple plastic cups of water. After about a dozen cups the fire was small enough that I was willing to reach my hand in to shut off the gas. Once I had done that the fire stopped a few seconds later although the pads of all the fingers on my left hand are sufficiently burnt. Thank God it didn't explode; the gas can was probably on fire for at least two minutes. Whew.

Please vote for your favorite Sneaky Term:
Chompy killed Ab in Settlers of Catan. Got any wheat?
Chris and Michael play poker and poke in the kitchen
Adam Corolla slept with Jamie in your car
I really need to get a cup for karate
Since I'm no longer kicking ass in the Alexa Game I might as well share the secret of huge increases (Way to half-ass that one)

Thursday: March 16, 2006 - NCAA Upsets Well the first upset of the day was UWM's whomping (Word Whomp!) of Oklahoma. Since I had to work I didn't get to watch the game (did I ever mention that I miss working at home?) but jamie let me know the outcome. Score! Bring on thems Gators! In the bracket game I picked UWM to beat Florida as well. We'll see; UF did beat FSU. But then again UWM is in the tournament and FSU is not so...we'll see.

In the second upset of the day Jamie, last place in the PCS, thoroughly dominated everyone in poker last night. There were eight of us and of the seven kills Jamie had five. The order people went out will give a good shake-up to the PCS rankings with kathy and tchris both in the first four out. It also helped/hurt there were eight people there instead of the usual zero. The only notable absence was poker legend pchris however both ricky (who never updates his blog) and nbrian (who doesn't even know I have blog [if you can believe that]) both came so it was fun. We learned that N-Brian was moving away after April. That'll be sad. It's going to be a rough summer with a lot of people I know moving onto bigger and better things well the rest of us toil away.

Sunday: March 19, 2006 - Hooray For Kathy Three cheers for Kathy and her new-fiance Fed-Chris (so many Chrises...). They got engaged on Saturday and I got to snap some love-shots on Lake Ella on Sunday. Unfortunately they were all on F-Chris' camera so you'll have to settle for this one. We dug in for some Settlers of Catan,IA last night since DH was a rerun. In the first game jamie, through wicked negotiating (I'll give you a brick for 311 ore) blew the three of us out of the water and in the second game the Sheep-Ore-Wheat (SOW) strategy paid off for me. The two lovebirds were not able to win any games.

UWM lost big time to Florida. The officiating was horrible and while UF did deserve to win, had the calls been fair the margain of victory would have been much less. Whatever, no oen likes the Gators anyway. Except fellow Gators. And no one likes them.

Also over the weekend I made some significant changes to the blog. First off all, the RaceR game I made yesterday has been a big hit. Secondly (and I guess finally) I fixed the Guilt Links so you can turn them on or off. If you're using Internet Explorer turn them off because none of the page will load until all the link reports have come in. In Firefox it'll load the rest of the page. Anyway, you have to refresh once you choose on or off. But it still works (finally).

Congratulations to Steve who was accepted for his Masters at the University of Chicago. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Monday: March 20, 2006 - Small Victories Today is a day for the celebration of small victories...because you can't find the cure for diseases every day.

Congratulations to jamie who has the #10 overall bracket at FSU with the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament over. Most people used the traditional Who Is The Better Team strategy but Jamie's The Schools I Want To Go To Must Be Better At Basketball has clearly been demonstrated as the best method of picking winners. You see, Jamie would rather go to George Mason than the University of North Carolina so naturally George Mason will crush UNC. I feel bad coercing her into picking UW-Milwaukee since they're not doing so hot. And by saying "not doing so hot" I mean they've been eliminated from the playoffs. Of the 500,000+ brackets chosen at TheFaceBook.com Jamie ranks at around 1,000. Damn girl!

Congratulations to me who finally broke the Top 25 in Alexadex. Out of 15,000+ registered players I finally made it onto the front page of the site after posting a 500,000 increase yesterday. Allegedly the Top 25 qualify for the Hall Of Fame or something but to me that just translates into "Wowwee...a link; I'll take it". I've got to say Thank You to ricky for introducing me to the game. Speaking of Ricky, he finally wrote a blog entry yesterday so you should probably read it; give him some encouragement you know. Anyway, back to Alexadex, the Top 10 is totally out of the question but to keep my position I now have to buy stocks that probably won't go up just to keep other people from buying them. Like I said in an earlier post it's the best ten minutes a day you can spend. I think I've got a good shot at the Top 20 if people stop buying from the same sites I do. >:o

Congratulations to chris whose Linguistics Blog comes up #1 in MSN. With maybe the exception of brian no one updates their blog more regularly than Chris. His site has over 1200 backlinks (to you give you some comparison, this site has nine) and is quickly establishing itself as a forum for Language Goodness on the Web. When the next PR comes out from Google look for Chris at the top of the list because, well, Google loves blogs (or so I hear).

Congratulations to kathy and Fed-Chris who are now engaged. It's old news by now but ladies, if you want a close-up of her ring go look at brian's site since he blew it up nice and big for you. I know that since Kathy is my ex-girlfriend there should be some part of me that feels weird but there's not. There was when I found out Stacie was getting married (many, many moons ago) but the only that I feel is happiness for her and Fed-Chris. They're a cute couple.

Congratulations to Steve who was accepted to the University of Chicago for his MA. After a string of rejections he can shove it in their faces because UC is the best. If you don't mind living in the ghetto, and I know you don't, you too can join him at one of the nation's most prestigious and hip schools. I knew having a 4.0 and a 6/6 on the GRE Writing would eventually pay off (says the C student).

Congratulations to Barbara who is about to get married in Panama AND still continues to bail me out at work with helpful emails. "Bar-bara, I know you're at the altar but I can't find your database for...". Looks like it's the time of the season to be getting hitched. One of the things I learned from my friend Ben in Uruguay is that living in a Latin country is the best and you should do it if you possibly can. So good work Barb, we're all jealous.





Congratulations to michael for getting into Indiana University and cementing a set of schools you can Chris can both go to for grad school. Not that there was ever any doubt about you getting into anywhere but still. And you're graduating soon! Which means you'll be done with your internship soon! Also worthy of congratulations. And thanks for letting us help you move! We're really excited about it...well not so much the packing and lifting of heavy things but the driving. God knows you've done it enough for the rest of us we owe you. Anyway, congratulations!

If you did not find yourself on this list maybe you should reevaluate your life-priorities OR send me an email detailing your small victories (and an appropriate picture). [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Tuesday: March 21, 2006 - Don't Fail Me Brian Yesterday I did three things. #1: I bought all of the Urizone.net shares in Alexadex. It wasn't necessarily a financially sound move so if people would be so kind as to read brian's fabulous entry at least three or four times today that would be fantastic.

#2: Our site finally climbed to #3 in Google for the term Personal Loan. This might not sound like big news but it is.

#3: I skipped karate because I had a headache and didn't want to go. jamie made me chicken Kiev and couscous.

Here are some interesting links for you: Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3 :( [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Wednesday: March 22, 2006 - Cindy Sheehan Now Susan Sarandon is going to be playing the part of her in a movie! Suddenly Russel Crowe playing me in my biographical movie seems not only feasible but reasonable. If I had to pick someone to play Cindy Sheehan in a movie it would be...the fat kid from Gremlins. Surely he's old enough that he could be a convincing Cindy. Surely. When is there going to be a moderate party that will let my wives have abortions but still lower my taxes? Is that too much to ask?

Today is our last (pray to god) day of being a white belt. christine and Kurt are sure things and I'd put my chances at around 90%. I'll be really pissed if some of the other white belts in our class test. There are two in particular I can think of: Death-Breath Ashley who has no nee for martial arts with breath that could have easily killed off millions of dinosaurs and Pre-Emo Kid who always talks back and is in a perpetual state of "about to get ass kicked". When I see the current yellow belts I have to believe they pass anyone who is not a quadquadriplegic. There's this one fat kid who I firmly believe would poop his pants if he were ever in a fight. On a more random note there is a brown belt who looks exactly like my cousin Michael. Weird.

brian's stock didn't move yesterday despite my throwing heaps of traffic at him with cleverly disguised links. Today's entry is really good; much better than the Harry Potter stuff yesterday. You should read it (I haven't sold the stock yet so there's still a chance...) [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Thursday: March 23, 2006 - Kia (Autosport) Time for a quick review of the day. The Urizone lost me about $4k in Alexadex and I'm going to have to cut my losses before the weekend comes. I was told I had "the most interesting job" at work today and while I tend to agree in concept I think the weirdness of chris taking Iraqi dinar orders on the phone is pretty interesting. "Hey. I'm looking to buy some of them Iraqi Dindingis..."

I got my ass kicked in the karate workout (again). There's nothing like looking around during the 50 finger-tip pushups and seeing how red and drippy everyone is, laughing to yourself, and then realizing that you look like that too. Kurt, Karate-Chris (jesus, was there a law about naming your kid chris from 1975-1982?) and I got some threeway action. I think of anyone in the class Kurt would hurt you the most in a fight. He never really extends but instead throws his body into these sharp-ass moves. I think Death Breath would probably be able to hurt you the least because once you started attacking her she'd forget to fight back because she'd be too busy complaining. The test is Saturday. Score.

michael's friend Abby (not the dog) joined us for poker last night. It was her first time and she did really well, finishing 2nd out of six. I, unfortunately for her, did a little bit better and won. We've started playing with the blinds raising on a 15 minute timer. I like it much better since then starting the game as the big blind doesn't suck nearly as bad. Good idea tchris.

Friday: March 24, 2006 - The Village Now I remember why I don't watch movies. I watched M. Night Shyamalan's The Villiage. It should have been called The Least Scary Movie Ever Made But Billed As Scary So Stupid People Will Go See It And *BAM* Get Hit With A Lame Social Commentary Movie That Has A "Plot" You Will Easily Guess In The First Three Minutes. Maybe those posters would have been too hard to put up; I don't know. What I *do* know is that a much better movie would be the tarring and hanging of M. Night Shyamalan for putting this still-steaming pile of crap up for public consumption. I have scaries trips to the bathroom. And the Social Commentary is LAME. Lamer than Christopher Reeve (ooh, too soon?). [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Saturday: March 25, 2006 - Mellow Yellow To no one's surprise The Big Four all got our yellow belts yesterday. Also receiving their yellow belts were Death Breath and McOgre (isn't that how you denote son-of-ogre?). Much to my surprise there was no real workout until the very end and the irony was not lost on me. Apparently the end of any belt test is a difficult workout to remind you that you always have the strength to defend yourself. While that may be true I will cross my fingers that I never get mugged on my way home after a belt test. I was paired with McOgre and my first kick made a really loud *pop* as I learned the real reason they call it a ball kick. Thank God he was wearing a cup. We all stayed a little bit after the test to take the stunning pictures you see here. It was a closed test so even though some people tried to come they were turned away by Prison-Guard Chad. We were going to take the pictures to make them look life-like but then we realized we already had the new yellow belts on and that might be a giveaway. Anyway, congratulationso to christine, Kurt and Chrissy (and Death Breath and McOgre). Grab my wrists now, bitches.

Sunday: March 26, 2006 - Britney Spears Statue Hey assholes, thanks for all the Congratulation On The Yellow Belt comments you left me on yesterday's post. Anyway, I lost about $250k in Alexadex yesterday which dropped me to #22 again. Once you hit #20 you're invited to join the Top Ten room (even though you're not really in the top ten but whatever). Since it seems all their buying patterns are different than us "normies" I can't wait to hear the secrets to their success. On My Secret Site I saw this picture of Britney Spears yesterday and I bought all the shares of the website it was on. Who could pass up that picture? Not me, that's for sure. It's really rather revolting and any hotness that was once, or ever, associated with Britney is now gone forever. I really want to know if the baby's head is sticking out of her hoo-hoo but of course there are no pictures from that angle.

Desperate Housewives was back to its mediocrity again last night. What I don't really understand is this: Who lets their KID decide when it's time to stop breastfeeding? Not that I really can remember back that far but I'm pretty sure I had no say in the matter. As if a five year old you could come up with the thought "Wait, chocolate milk...that's like mom's boob but so much more....mmmm. That's it; I'm off the teat". Whatever. The Bree story is getting old but I again assert that the Susan plot needs to be cut immediately. My God Chompy, how much more dull can her story get? Apparently Grey's Anatomy was a rerun last night and I watched the second half. Bo-ring. Pick me. Want me. Choose me. Love me. Hell no, you're crazy (even though you are, in fact, pretty darn cute).

I also updated the Weekly Poker Championship page with some missing pictures AND (if you haven't seen it) the new PCS rankings. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Monday: March 27, 2006 - Caption Contest At brian's suggestion we'll be having a caption contest for the picture above. The winner gets their answer Photoshopped in as well as a link from MY website. Can you believe it?! Leave your caption in the comments box below! [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Tuesday: March 28, 2006 - Pinan 1 Last night we learned: Knifehand (would possibly be more effective if holding a knife), Driving Knifehand (also known as the Awkward Nose Breaker), the 8 counterstrikes, Raking Tiger Claw (Nut Grab N' Tug) and, worst of all, Pinan 1. The best way I can think to describe Pinan 1 is like this: You're in Buenos Aires. It's around 11pm and you're in a classy joint; all dressed up. A beautiful girl comes up to you and asks you to dance; you accept. As your dancing you're attacked by like 10 pirates and have to kick all of their asses while continuing to dance with your woman.

I like karate. [Comments: 1]· permalink · · ·

Wednesday: March 29, 2006 - Def Leppard Last night chris, michael and jamie and I went to go play trivia at Gil's. Believe it or not there was an opera category. We got a 7/10. Two of the ones we got wrong were questions directed at people who didn't know anything about opera so they questions, while about an opera composer, were about some random historical fact. Oh well, 7/10 is a C and I'd probably get a C on an music history test I'd take today. Last night Rod Smith had some Vote For Me Bullshit meeting. Jamie ditched it to play trivia but I was not surprised to see the Annoying Trivia guying wearing a Rod Smith sticker on his ample breast. Man, if an opportunity presents itself he's getting a driving knifehands to the whole body.

Last night I left work around 7:15pm. That's no good. It was one of those days where my morning was beautifully routine but when the afternoon hit it was like my solar system of work absorbed about 14 new planets to revolve around me. I notice I've been getting a lot of hits from the Britney Spears Statue post a few days back. Who knew that her doggy-style birthing would be so popular? I sure didn't!

The Winner Of The Karate Caption Contest is...Steve! [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Thursday: March 30, 2006 - The Great Gatsby Last night the Weekly Poker Tournament was played in jamie's house. If you read The Great Gatsby when you were younger, and you probably did, it could have taken place at Jamie's house. It's the pool house of this mansion down on Tennessee Street but it's easily big enough to accommodate a girl and her The Ab. Jamie won a hard-fought game with Kathy while the rest of us sleepily sat around while the heavyweights battled it out.

At karate we learned the Tiger Mouth Kenpo. It's our first "throw" and I was having stomach problems all night from hitting the ground so many times. I know your arm is supposed to break the fall with that Hand Slap thing but all it does is make your hand hurt more than your body so you don't focus on how bad your body hurts. Sneaky. I have a huge gash on my finger from where it got caught in a loose thread loop on my gi and it sliced the skin open much in the way you can use dental floss to cut cake. We also learned the straight-on knife attack block. I hope no one comes at me with a knife I'd be in big trouble (Chompy). [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·
