( judo wrap up from this week )

( holy shit he just kicked jerry )

( judo nonsense )

last night was my first night back at judo in almost 2 months. i picked up right where i left off, which was cool. i didn't work too hard, but i don't think i will for the next few weeks. i'd like to ease back in so that i don't like... break anything else. i'm going to try to do judo at least twice a week and hit the gym at least twice a week ( Read more... )

tonight, as i was leaving judo, i saw austin (one of the little demon spawn that's in my class) stealing candy from a Special Olympics candy despenser. i walked over and knelt down next to him and asked him what on earth he thought he was doing. now, since i've tried to calm down over the past few days and not let these little kids get under my ( Read more... )

so at judo last night i almost lost my temper. since there was an even number of adults, i decided to try to help the kids. i don't know what was going through my head when i decided this, but whatever. point is: i decided to help the kids. there are a few kids that have joined judo in the past month or two that are... shall we say...

i finally got a new laptop at work. it's a dell latitude, 1.8Ghz pentium m, 1gb ram, 29gb hard drive, integrated 802.11g, gigabit NIC, dvd-rom. it would be nice if it was a dvd/cd-r, but whatever... i'm just glad to have gotten a new one. since i was getting rid of the old and all that, i decided to get rid of the p3 500 desktop that i had in ( Read more... )

i test for ikkyu tonight. ikkyu is the transitional belt before shodan, or first degree black belt. i am nervous as all hell about this. i mean... i know i can do the nage waza (throws) and jime (chokes) just fine. i just have to do a few techniques that i really haven't worked on much. they were kind of... shown to me and then moved over for ( Read more... )

i got my ass kicked at judo last night. i've been kind of... limping ever since. after the standard warmup/uchi komi period, we went straight into ne waza (rastlin') and then straight into randori (a-fightin'). well... i shouldn't say it was straight into randori. randori usually switches partners every 3 minutes or so. (it's 3 minutes cuz ( Read more... )
