  1. Gloria Alred.....

    by , 04-02-2010 at 08:48 PM
    ....man does this woman disgust me. She's the champion of all things ridiculous. The advocate for gold diggin' home wrecking pretty much prostitutes everywhere. This ridiculous woman/psuedo attorney holds a press conference because apparently she's now representing Tiger Woods' kindergarten teacher. She is requesting that Tiger retract a previous statement he made about her. So it turns out that said teacher allegedly did nothing when Tiger was allegedly assaulted and battered by his classmates. ...

  2. Confidence at the NAC-E

    by , 04-02-2010 at 08:02 PM
    The first two events were not good for me. The second was dismal as I didn't win a single bout in my pool and was wiped out twice. Being confident the next day, in WSV50 was challenging to say the least.

    In addition to tips acquired here, I picked up a rather silly thing at the last roller derby: I was walking through the venue when some little girls from the junior roller derby (yes, really) ran past, stopped and asked for a "High 5 for luck." It threw me off for a moment, ...

  3. Attack, attack!

    by , 04-02-2010 at 07:26 PM
    I'm reliably told, by my coach and by the people I bout with, that I move forward way too much. And even though I try to balance things out a little better now that I've been made conscious of the problem, I'm told it persists.

    To me it feels perfectly natural to keep moving forward. In sport sparring (tae kwon do), backing up is almost never a good thing to do. It's easy to step out of the ring, it gives you far, far fewer options for counterattack than a simple side-step would, ...

  4. Pet Peeves

    I really can't express how frustrating it is to me when fencers complain about how the director is determining ROW. I mean, it's your job as a fencer to figure what the director wants to see. Not complain about it until a call gets overturned. Most director's have a rhyme/reason for how they distribute ROW, very few of them are just there to give their own fencers the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you could just fence a little smarter instead of louder...

  5. 5th?

    by , 04-02-2010 at 06:25 AM
    OMG. I'm 5th on the points list. How did that happen?

    There's a huge gap between #4 and me and only 4 points separate me from 6th place, but still...

    This changes my plans slightly and makes me all the more annoyed that I'm not going to be able to do any real training in June (due to a work schedule that will suck the life out of me and some committments involving my mother). This means I need to take a long, hard look at the constraints under which I'll be training ...
