I know I didn't tell you guys about the first few games(but who cares).
This is for Jack anyway since I don't know anyone else who reads this('if' anyone else reads this)
Today we played against 'Da Kru' (which has three players on it that are our next door neighbor and her nieces) We started off pretty good, our lefty rover got a good hit and ended up with a home run(also bringing in 2 other players) many batters got base hits and I ended up hitting a great line drive right at the pitcher......which he caught. Anyway the wind started to pick up(and by pick up I mean go from nice 10-15mph to 20-25 mph, dusty too.) Both of the pitchers were throwing lousy because of that, and one guy(Mike I think, hit one over the fence,((wind was helping))
The game was cut short(as it usually is) We lost --(large-ish number) to 4
Oh yeah, TJ was hurt last game and is out for the season. Steve will be back next week and Cole(Don't know how to spell it......He's the guy who looks German) will be gone.
Party on world!!!
Rock out!

Rules
I noticed the Rules on Jack's blog and decided to make a few of my own, these rules are subject to change at any time, but you have to follow them anyway.
#1: Pirates are allowed to post as long as they keep their drunken(or not) singing to a minimum.
#2: In every comment you post, you must have the work Rock in it at least once.
#3: If you post a stupid comment or question it will be deleted immediately.
#4: No chain letters, do not post them, I'm serious....and I know where you live.
#5: If you have any racial,religious,or flaming comments, keep them to yourself. I know where you live
That's all I have for now but there will be more, oh yes, there will be more.

Green belt test.
Last Saturday we had another belt test(we don't get these very often), And I, Jack, a little dude named Vince and my sister,(Did Johnna too?...can't remember) all tested for out green belts.
You're probably thinking "Wait! what happened to Yellow belt? did they get that before Orange?" Actually, in our Dojang, Orange belt comes before Yellow(I don't know why, don't ask) And we double-tested, so basically we skipped Yellow belt because we knew all of the required stuff for Green. First off we had several strikes and kicks to do, like the 360 roundhouse(tornado kick) and the Spinning hook kick, which all of us had been practicing......but only with our right leg.....so that looked real bad when we had to kick from a left fighting stance....heh..
We also had Board breaking, I seriously thought we'd have to break more than we did, We had to break 1-2 boards with a Forward Back fist and another 1-2 with a spinning back kick(which I'm not very accurate with...) Jack had a little problem with the forward back fist(Probably because we never really used it before) but she hung in there and broke it after a couple more tries.
After that(or was it before....hmm..) we had Sparring, this is where we put on boxing gloves and padded helmets and get to show out skill at using the moves we've learned, Jack got to go against Heather(Who either is a prison guard or teaches boxing at the women's prison, I can never remember)anyway, they both did really good(especially since we don't spar much either) I got to go against my sister, that was really fun, I just kept blocking whatever she threw(every now and then she hit me) Then I got to spar with the Master at the school, I took a good couple of kicks to the head(one of which ended the match) and a sweet bruise on my arm the next day, but I happened to do a spinning back kick while he was doing a jumping kick and put him on the floor, so I think i did okay.
Then at the end he gives out a belt to those who made it(Which was everyone since he won't let you test if he doesn't think you're ready). He actually didn't have all the belts there so my sister and Jack don't get their belts until...today. But we made it, and now that we're at an Intermediate level we get to learn all kinds of new stuff, but we don't get to make as many mistakes as we did when we were still Orange.
I think that's all,

Re: Warrior,Maybe...
First off. Like you, there's not a lot that scares me(other than the dark.......just kidding) most of it is mental, like not wanting to fail or lose(I'd probably flip if I ever failed a test) or my best isn't good enough, stuff like that.
Secondly, about being competitive, It's okay to want to do better than someone else or even yourself(Stronger than I was yesterday!) just as long as you don't go too far and hurt yourself. Also most guys don't like to lose, especially at video games, even more so to a girl(So you'll have to go easy on some of them). Personally, I think it's cool that there's someone that can beat me at Gh2 or Mortal Kombat, it just means I have to get better.
Thirdly. You're one of the toughest girls I know, I don't know anyone else that can get hit in the face with a 5-gallon bucket lid an be all cool after(All the other girls I know would just sit there and start to wail and stuff). I think another thing that scares me is hurting people, since I've always been bigger than the people I hang around, I have to be careful, so thanks for hanging in there, even with all the times I've hurt you.
Fifthly. You don't have to fight to look strong, and you don't have to be strong to fight. You're not going to be one of those brawlers you see that can stand there and take a bunch of hits, what you need to do is build up your speed, Muhammad Ali wasn't really strong, but he was fast and that's why he won, he never really got hit.
(In case some of you don't know me, this post is dedicated to Jack, whose blog you can get to by going to my profile, down to the shabang,and to her profile.)
I guess that's all, See ya later

I'm Back
Well, the tournament is over, I took 1st place in Bo form(only one other competitor and I was much better) and a 2nd in Breaking(They put me against a Black belt, two green belts, and a Blue/Red stripe)
We're getting Weapon classes at our dojo soon, I want to learn Escrima and possibly Sai(Don't know if they teach that yet).
Thats all for now,
Leave a message in the comments section if you got something signed by Taylor Lautner(If only Brandy read my blog.....)
Until next time.
