...fresh from battle.

Well due to weather and lack of willing participants, I didn't play paintball this weekend. So to still my battlelust I just finished launching a full-on assault on my mom by flinging left-over paintballs at her while she was cooking my dad's lunch. Then I cleaned up the floor so she wouldn't smack me.

If you're a Grand Prairie resident you can check out the GP section of the Dallas Morning News, sunday edition to see an article on my team and a team picture.

Friday night was our end of season pool-party, I was presented with a nice color team-picture signed by all the kids...and a wet crotch from the kids shooting me with water-guns repeatedly in my bathing suit area. I was not however wearing a bathing suit.

Here's a picture of me in the background, about to puke from the excitement:

Is it in yet?

The state tournament was this past weekend and marked the end of the freestyle/greco wrestling season. So my tues & thurs evenings shall be freed up for more working out. And my saturdays for being lazy or something.

Things are looking up for next season. I found 3 more coaches for the program I may or may not head up in the fall. It came by a chance reunion with a guy who wrestled for my school after I graduated. He just happened to be looking to put together a team for mansfield along with two other former Martin wrestlers. So it looks like a possible total of 5-6 Martin Warrior wrestlers will be bringing wrestling to mansfield.

In other news I'll be using my newly reacquired weekend time to step production up on Tussle part 1.

I'm also getting back into my old hobby of paintball. I got together a few Black-Eyed Pea people to go and we had a blast. I would like to soon start a 3 or 5 man team. Anyone interested? please email me.

So my force-powers must have been working overtime yesterday as our attempt at the first showing was sold out. We came to a later showing where I ran into the former wrestler. The new Star Wars movie is great better than episodes 1&2. Not perfect but lovely and intriguing. I must say though Hitchicker's Guide to the Galaxy's planet factory was more awe-inspiring than anything the New Star War's movies had to offer visually.

David's beautiful nostalgic trip must be noted and viewed here.

So I just gotta start figuring out how to fit school in here somewhere and everything will be on the up and up.

I'm really excited about my reentry to the world of wrestling. The coach at South Grand Prarie High School has already said he want's me to work with his new heavyweight. I also might be working out with the UTD club team. Apparently they have some heavyweights. The knee may or may not continue to be an issue so we'll just have to wait and see.

For those readers out there this should mark the beginning of more frequent entries.

rumble

No the blog's not dead... the movie's not dead..I'm just very bust for the next couple of weeks.

Mon Wed and Fri I work 11 hours workout for about one then sleep.

Tues and Thurs work 11 hours then wrestling practice for about 3 hours then sleep.

Most of Saturday is taken up by a tournament. Then a healthy night of drinking for old times sake and a bit of a hibernation on Sunday...

goodnight more later...
