Aloha!

So today was an alright day. I friggin missed the IIHF World Championships game between Canada and France because it was at 4 am and I thought it was 6. Ah well, the next one is at 8 am... of course I'm typing this at 2 am. Boy am I a smartie. In other news, I got a "flower box" from Cookies by George for Delia. On a quick side note, I'd like to meet this George one day. But anyhoo, today was such a crappy day to get the flower box because it rained like KrAzY! The box is a bit ruined but not too bad, and Delia was still happy anyways (= I got it today because I'm such a poopyhead and didn't get it when it would have been a good idea, which was a few days ago. Ah well...

For the goals update, I don't think I'm getting back into pushup shape that quick, and splits flexibility?? Well, summer is 4 months, we'll see. For a GW tournament update, we did a bit of kata and sparring training. I did pretty decent in both and I'm hoping that continues come this Saturday. I'm doing the same kata, and for the people that know what I'm talking about, you'll get it. I pretty much know what I want to look like and what I want to do, its whether or not I'll be able to coordinate my body accordingly. As for sparring, today was a confidence booster but I gotta stick to being realistic. I'm riding on zero experience but I'll hafta make up for it by being extra determined.

Also, I think I may have figured something out. Sometimes I'm slow getting out my side kick *this is for the karate people I know =P* and the reason is that I lean back first. I know Ranald has that bastard sneaky side kick that gets me, he just zooms forward. So I'll work on that, trying to lean more forward when lifting the knee instead of leaning backward. I tried going on the defensive and keeping him at bay with that, but was always too slow and this is probably why. Oh yeah, I totally plan on landing a sweep (=

What else was I going to say? Damn it... totally forgot. Well, I guess I'll peace out for now. One last thought though: Where does the word cookie come from? It contains the word cook. But yet people who make cookies are more accurately termed bakers. I may be off...
