Hey guys - thanks for the words of encouragement after my last post. That was certainly a wack situation. I am working on getting some pics up from the Judo tourney this past weekend. When I got there, they had messed up the novice bracket in my weight class (66kg). So I decided to enter the open division.  It was a small tournament and my first fight was against a black belt (national champion of Guatemala - for whatever that is worth, haha). It last about a GREAT 20 seconds haha.  No pain, no bruises - nothing. Just a swift ass kicking!

Hopefully the pics don't come out well for that one.

After that I had to fight the number one 66kg guy from my team. He is one of my buddies and is more experienced and at a much higher level than I am. Loosing was not difficult or embarassing.  I was pretty proud of myself - it was a long scrappy fight. I look forward to watching the video of that one.

Tonight after practice I stuck around for one of the guys who teaches us to start teaching me another form of fighting - Hoteikan.  It is pretty intense - but a lot of fun.

Aside from that, I have been playing a lot of poker and trying to maintain grades at the same time. I find that when I do well at poker it is very very profitable. Watch out Atlantic City, haha. Kerri is coming up this weekend and I am trying to get tickets for a Third Eye Blind concert in Long Island. That would be a lot of time. I have seen them 3 times before and once with Kerri.

Ok - that is all that is going on in the world of Gabe... More later (including pictures).

Hee-hee!!! A swift ass kicking. That's a very amusing way to put it :0) Well, at least you're a good sport about it.

Concentrate on grades, not poker, gooberhead. Yeah, poker may be more profitable now, but in the long run........................you know the rest of this spiel. Sorry, I'm a mommy, so it just comes natural.

Have fun at the concert! Later.............

Thanks for the post!  After 15 yrs of humiliation, its always great to see the Bengals coming back around.  How long have you been doing Judo?  Sounds like you're pretty good (minus the most recent bout)... good luck in your next tourney!  Take care.
