my newest guilty pleasure
I never explained how well NAGA went. I won first in both gi and no-gi divisions.
My dad put me in the expert divisions because he wanted me to win the belts. (You only win one if you fight in expert.) The belt's really nice, it's made of leather and metal.
But I feel like too many people associate it with "wrassling", usually in NAGA you win the samurai sword. Next NAGA is in November, and I'm getting me that sword!
Now I'm training for the World's (Mundial) in late August. It's in California, and this will be the biggest tournament I've competed in. Participants come from Brazil and Japan to compete. Usually it's held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but this year they decided to change it. My dad told me that I must lose 35 pounds by then, so far I've lost about 10, just 25 more to go. What's the secret? Not eating everything I like. ^_^;
But to me it's completely worth it, I won't have to go against any 200+ beasts and I've been wanting to shed the pounds for awhile. There's nothing like a tournament deadline and your dad's threat of you reimbursing him the ticket and entry fee if you don't make weight, to get you to loosin'. By the time this is over, I'll be in the same shape I was when I was on the wrestling team in high school.

As you can see, I've changed my background. I've been sucked into Naruto by the clutches of youtube, but it wasn't until I learned of the character Gaara and his story that I was sucked in. Truly, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't watch the series.
I find his story of redemption and tragedy, so beautiful and inspiring. Just makes me want to write! Plus, I'm in love with his character^^.
