| Christmas! |
[02 Jan 2009|02:43pm] |
I had the most fun shopping for Christmas when I went to every bookstore in the city as well as a few other cities. I bought Harlock some books he never even asked for and didn't expect me to get.
We had a great dinner here in our apartment where I fixed a huge Christmas feast. I was originally going to cook a goose but who the hell knew they cost tons of dollars like $10 a pound. But it was super fun and I got many presents.
I got from Harlock and his parents: a great book all about music, a scrapbook to put all my baseball stuff in, Hello Kitty car mats with my name on them, Hello Kitty wallet, many nice clothes, Huge box of cheese, candy, egg nog mix, more candy, and Sleeping Beauty
From a friend: lotion and sweet pea foam soap
From Rich and Yvonne at our dojo: $50 gift certificate to Tsunami Sushi
From Ben: delicious Almond Crush Pocky along with both a Bob Dylan and Gwar CD and a hat with nintendo controllers printed on it
My parents: a knife sharpening set and some cheeses meats and crackers that came with a tiny meat cleaver which is so cute.
It was very nice and I hope next year is even more fun, maybe I 'll get the goose!

| Beach Fishing Trip |
[13 Nov 2008|07:16pm] |
I had a great time over the weekend for Harlock's birthday. We went to Bradenton Beach and stayed in a huge beach house. We walked all along the beach and got some fishing done as well. The first day I caught a snake fish and a medium sized Grouper, then later I caught two fish I couldn't identify. There are so many types of fish in the sea that it is not always possible to identify the fish caught. A funny thing happened there when I let Harlock's cousin use my fish as shark bait. He saw his line move and thought he had a big fish, but when I reeled in the fish on my line it was the same fish, although I cast out no where near where he had. So, I caught the same fish twice it was outrageous.
The beach is the most beautiful during the colder months. I really like to go around this time for either his birthday or our anniversary. I made several sculptures there but I didn't have a camera handy, one was very lifelike of my cat Hanzo with a pink shell as the nose, it was great.
the grouper looked like this but smaller
this is Hanzo

| Candy is good |
[25 Oct 2008|03:02pm] |

I never realized how tasty both Mounds and Baby Ruth candy bars were until this year. I think my favorite Halloween candy might be Reese's Pumpkins, but that might just be because my mother used to buy them every year for me. Also caramel apples are completely great but I tried yesterday a turtle apple which is a caramel apple with tiny-bitsy cute chocolate chips on it and it might be even tastier. CANDY!!!

| Mens Underwear |
[25 Oct 2008|02:44pm] |
I have a question directed at any man who may want to answer. I am aware that the hole in the front of underwear is there for the purpose of urination, but as far as I can tell men do not use it for this purpose. At least the men I have asked in person said they never use it so I was wondering if anyone uses it and if not why is it still there?
So, do any of you men actually use the hole in the front of underwear?

| WE PASSED THE TEST!!! |
[27 Sep 2008|12:22pm] |
Harlock and I passed the exam to be brown belts in Karate! This means we are now officially considered advanced, and this also means we might get to fight people at the next tournament that can actually fight well.
alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Chilean Wine! and the Devil! |
[22 Sep 2008|09:56pm] |
I received three bottles of wine on my birthday that were from Chile. They were packed in a little wooden crate, which I thought was awesome. Abrah and his family gave them to me, and the only reason I am writing about them is because I just opened the third bottle and it is very delicious,it is called Concha y Toro, Frontera, and this type is a Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot from 2006.
I like this one almost as much as the bottle of the Devil's wine they gave me. The devil's wine is called Casillero del Diablo, which means Cellar of the Devil. It says on the bottle that the wine maker kept the best of the wine he produced in a private reserved cellar, and to keep people away he spread a rumor that the devil lived in the cellar. The bottle is so cool it has a neat picture of the devil on it.
Well let me get to drinking it instead of talking about it.

| Promotion! |
[22 Sep 2008|09:33pm] |
Oh yea, I am excited about the promotion on Friday. Harlock, Abrah, and I are going to be promoted to brown belt, which means that at the next tournament we will have to compete in the advanced division. This should not be a problem because we have all worked very hard to get to the place we are now, and it is just a tournament.
I am surprised by the advancement of some of the kids in our class. For a while I thought Abrah's bother Halan would quit or give up because Sensei was testing him and making him work on his own a lot in class with kata. He is a good kid and he is much better at practicing on his own with a little help from all of us when he needs it, I am impressed with his ability to learn so well at the age of six, most of the kids get whiny or just don't do anything when they are asked to practice on their own, probably because they feel left out of class or something. We got some new students in class but not all of them were tough enough to stay like a guy we had named Joe, he was doing well but felt left out in class because others were advancing faster than him, so he quit the other day. But we do have some new dedicated students like a guy named Alex who comes everyday.
It will be awesome to be brown belt only 2 more steps away from starting all over again with the Shodan rank. I look forward to the hard work, I just need to toughen up even more. It seems crazy that the three of us know 15 kata, wait Abrah knows 16, well we know them but we don't really KNOW them yet, but we will someday.
One day we will really be wearing black belts not the blue ones in this picture!

| The Sox Game |
[20 Sep 2008|11:41pm] |
Harlock and I went to go see the Rays take on the Red Sox the other night, in St. Petersburg. My favorite player for the Sox is Ortiz who happened to hit two home runs over near us. The picture above is both of us looking at the homerun ball coming in the stands. The game was fun I got a 6$ pepsi and also some other snacks. We went to steak and shake on the way home, which was really nice because we haven't been in a while, and having a turtle shake is a good way to end an evening of fun. Although Ortiz hit numerous home runs the Rays won the game in the end which is fine because I like them too. It was fun to sit next to a Rays fan and have him pick on me for Boston losing, Harlock got to sit next to a guy from Boston so they were on the same side, also I saw a guy pour a glass of beer down his pants and it looked like he urinated on himself which his buddies proceeded to take a photo of. I was most impressed with Perez who plays for the Rays and can catch anything that flys out to the back of the field; he made a crazy dive catch to get a Boston player out. He really hustles to catch the ball.

Harlock took me to the Rays game against the Yankee's, and although the Yankees lost in the end the game was made a much closer game by my favorite Yankee (Derek Jeter) hitting a three run home run. The ball landed merely feet from us and I saw it flying over towards us, it was very exciting. For anyone who doesn't know it Derek Jeter is the most handsome ball player alive today. Another player I love is B.J. Upton who plays for the rays and was right next to our seats. Upton can catch anything that goes anywhere near the back of the field. Upton is a catching machine. It was a very fun and exciting game, my only regret was not getting to catch Jeter's homerun ball but there will be many more opportunities to do so next year.
He is so handsome.

Someone said something that bothered me. This forced to me to make a post about it but I don't really want any comments. I just feel like rambling today.
One thing I really find distasteful is when ignorant people go around saying they hate groups or types of people. People who pretend they are any better than the people they disdain because they want to feel superior. Everyone should face the fact they are all just animals running around doing things, because they want to either eat or fuck. Anyone pretending there is some crazy point to life or that they are doing something that really matters is a fool.
I never want to hear those "stupid rednecks", "stupid emo kids", or any other term someone uses for the express purpose of trying to make themselves feel better. Get over yourselves and start enjoying life for what it really is.

| Park Fun |
[23 Mar 2008|08:35pm] |
I went to the park with Harlock and had Easter lunch. While there we used the horseshoe area as an obstacle course which I was able to complete in 34.74 seconds. Then we did a short distance run which I did in 4.06 seconds. Harlock beat me in the obstacle but not the short distance run. He beat me in the standing leap but not in the running leap, which we did at the same 5.5 feet distance.
I had so much fun at Kendo practice on Friday. The instructor is so cool.
I can't wait to go to the tournament this weekend, I hope I do well.

I am getting much better at fighting.
I had a lot of fun in class today. I got to fight a lot of people including Harlock. My stamina is increasing along with my speed.
I am totally excited about going to a real karate tournament this month maybe this time I will actually get hit during a fight at a tournament. I have been to two different tournaments so far and I haven't really been hit once; although somehow people score points against me and I always have to go against black belts. It seems that women quit karate around my age or something because there are no beginners or novices at my age. It doesn't really matter I am not in it for the competition.
I have a job at the Dojo this summer helping with the children's summer karate program and that should be loads of fun. It seems like the kids take really well to me because they always want to fight me and it is a lot of fun, hard work but fun. I have a lot of work ahead of me since we have promotion next month. Man I love Karate. Maybe next I should learn bear style.

| Karate Tournament |

I leave for the Karate Tournament in five short hours, and I am so damn excited. I won Gold in fighting last time and I plan to try for gold in both kata and fighting in Miami on Saturday. I love Karate, not just going to competition, but in general. Classes are great and we have a superb Sensei. I get to go five nights a week now that I am writing with Harlock at home. I am so happy cause we get to move soon. I am way too excited to get to sleep, but I need to because we leave soon. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooogggaaa. GOODNIGHT!!!

| It's Late but I must do the laundry |
[20 Sep 2007|03:26am] |
As I sit here reading a bit and polishing off what turned out to be a magnificent bottle of wine I am reminded of the fact that I haven't professed my love for my Darling Harlock in quite some time. Harlock I love you.
In a few short months, we will have been together for eight years. I know I haven't always been the most pleasant person to live with, but no matter how hard you had to try you were always patient with me as I had to grow into the person I have become. You taught me to be more sensitive and caring with others and how to love both you and everyone else in this world. People living together always takes effort and sometimes damn hard work but we have made it this far together and I cherish every moment of it, whether fighting or holding hands. I wish I could say I enjoy every second we are together no matter what pain of discomfort I may be in, but it gets easier everyday we are together. You taught me to enjoy simple things like going to the grocery store together or washing dishes. Simply put you make everything that I do or need to do in a day just a bit better because you are with me or I am thinking about you. I love living, I love you, and best of all I love living with you.

Karate:
In class today I fought better than I have anytime in the last three months. I am quicker and can hold out longer due to the loosing weight and constant exercise. I am also getting stronger from doing push ups and sit ups everyday. I feel great physically and mentally, this Karate class is helping my focus and keeping me calm and happy.
Bunny Blanket:
Last payday Harlock bought me a bunny blanket and I really really love it. It is so cute but it is also very warm and cozy.
Cream Soda:
Today I had the best soda It was a Deerfield Gourmet Soda, it is soda made with sugar instead of corn syrup. Also it comes in a glass bottle, which I prefer to plastic or metal. Damn what a great soda.
Chocolate Pay Day:
I got a candy bar as a treat today. It was called "Pay Day Chocolaty Avalanche", When I read this I kept picturing all these Pay day bars dressed in all this gear going up a chocolate mountain and being covered by an avalanche so I had to get it, it tasted great.
Also I had a damn good cup of coffee Jennifer made me (in a Pegasus cup no less)
I sure love everyone and hope everyone is doing fine and feeling Hoppy I mean Happy.
