argh.... this whole thing is really starting to get to me. I've got about 7 days left to form a team together and registration so I can get the $5 dollar discount. (Hey... seeing how I quit my job back around christmas time.... $5 dollars goes a long way. Seeing how I doubt some can pay for the tournament fees and USFA membership... my choices of partners is growing slim. I'd ask Damien to join my team but apparently he joined a Sabre team that's competing on the same day as the Foil Team competition. The other two members of my former foil team (Marcus and Phillip) reformed their own team long before I even heard about this tournament so there's no luck there. My friend Danielle gave me a thumbs up... but im not sure whether or not she has her USFA membership renewed and whether her skills have kept up or slipped back. But who knows... she may come through for me. hmmm... I seriously need to get a hold of Romulo... I think he'd be my best bet as a valuable member for the team. The last time I fenced him he gave me a challenge so I believe his skill is improving (or mine is getting worse) whichever the case... if he can rival me... he can rival marcus... and that's satisfaction enough for me.

argh... stupid teams need 4 members... (3 primary fencers and 1 substitute.) I need to try to get ahold of either Abby Lamb or Karl Shroder and hope one of them isnt in a team and would like to join up on mine. I know both of them have been training (more then me I believe...)... but they're both part of the St. Thomas University fencing club... Karl may already be in a team and Abby may not want to join one. argh! I think it be best if I slept on this subject.

hmmm.... interesting result... not sure exactly what to say about this one.

Bleh... it's officially 9:23 AM and I still haven't gotten any sleep. I just got back from the highschool (I know... not suppost to be there being a college student and all but oh well) I taught my friend Adan how to do my favorite defensive fencing move known as Circle Parry 6. With a little bit of practice and alot of creativity... he can make himself almost untouchable.. giving that he learns how to control distance and all. Besides that I helped Cristal improve her lunge and point control. She's progressing but needs to keep her focus... she gets discouraged way too easily. Heh! She actually wants to go paintballing with me and Marcus one day... she's crazy. She bruises too easily so we keep telling her no. I actually feel like playing paintball now... grr... damn cristal. Well Good luck guys at the tournament this weekend... sorry I wont be joining you all but I will be sure to cross blades with you all at the "Battle on the Bayou" Tournament. Most definitely i'll be competing in the mixed foil event there... and if I can muster up a team before then... i'll be sure to kick your butts in that event as well. bleh... damn insomnia... i think it's getting worse... im going to try to put myself to sleep now. laterz everyone!

That is my ultimate question... the slogan of my life... my paradox. *sigh*... Have I once again been hit by one of cupid's stupid arrows? I've fallen for a girl who wears glass... and has dark hair and tan skin... she's one of my close friends and has a great sense of humor. heh... before you all go jumping to conclusions as to whom it is... you all should know that I know at least 5 girls that fit this same vague description. Whether I really have fallen in love with this girl or not... I can't help but feel that she is "forbidden fruit". I need to sleep on this subject guys.


Current Song: "Cold and Ugly" by Tool

You are a PHOENIX in your soul and your wings make a statement.

Huge and born of flame, they burn with light and power and rebirth. Ashes fall from your wingtips. You are an amazingly strong person. You survive, even flourish in adversity and hardship. A firm believer in the phrase, "Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger", you rarely fear failure. You know that any mistake you make will teach you more about yourself and allow you to "rise from the ashes" as a still greater being. Because of this, you rarely make the same mistake twice, and are not among the most forgiving people. You're extremely powerful and wise, and are capable of fierce pride, passion, and anger.

Perhaps you're this way because you were forced to survive a rough childhood. Or maybe you just have a strong grasp on reality and know that life is tough and the world is cruel, and it takes strength and independence to survive it. And independence is your strongest point - you may care for others, and even depend on them...but when it comes right down to it, the only one you need is yourself. Thus you trust your own intuition, and rely on a mind almost as brilliant as the fire of your wings to guide you. You are eternal and because you have a strong sense of who and what you are, no one can control your heart or mind, or even really influence your thinking. A symbol of rebirth and renewal, you tend to be a very spiritual person with a serious mind - never acting immature and harboring a superior disgust of those who do. Likewise, humanity's stupidity and tendency to want others to solve their problems for them frustrates you endlessly. Though you can be stubborn, outspoken, and haughty, I admire you greatly.

The Phoenix... no real surprise there. This is probably the most accurate test ive taken so far. maybe the rest of you would agree...

*sigh* not much to report from my spiraling life of utter dullness... time passes... as life goes on. I see myself not in progression yet at the same time not in degeneration. I'm probably just babbling about all the "would of, could of, should of" but I can't help but wonder... how life would have been different if certain things didn't go the way that they did. I mean... who would I really be? Would I still be the sword flying guitar junkie that I am today? Not that I regret who I am... I can't help but be in constant curiousity of this subject. Ignore me... it's 2:12 AM in the morning and I'm pretty sure this is just my ackward case of insomnia talking.

Current Song: "Here is no why" by The Smashing Pumpkins

You have a fiery soul. You aren't the quickest to
get angered, but when you do get angry things
can go really wrong really fast. You are
generally very passionate in the things you do.


What force is your soul?
brought to you by Quizilla

Yup... i'm good ol' "Mr. Zen"... this result is pure truth.



Your element is Fire. Wild and free. Your emotions
lead you everywhere. You are a very passionate
person, though sometimes forceful and
destructive you have a goal in life, even if
that goal is just to make it another day. Fire
consumes and purifys, it also protects. There
is always caution with fire because once it is
started on something there is no telling how
much it can destroy. Fire people have the same
tendency when mad you could be a candle burning
but if someone tips you over...


What's your element?

Fire again... no surprise here... from his own ashes the phoenix rose to become immortal.

Bleh... today was a gloomy day. I awoke around 3 PM which is way later than then my usual time (7 AM). Man... the sky was cloudy all day... I really think the drastic weather change is having an effect on me. My right knee (aka my "flaw"...) began hurting me again. Just so everyone knows... whenever a cold front comes in, i'm usually the first to know due to my stupid knee. Damn tylenol only subdued the pain for a good 5 minutes. oh well... it's just something I have to deal with I guess.

mmm... this IBC Cream Soda taste pretty good... too good for that fact... i'm starting to get a brain freeze. Okay enough of that... my fortune cookie for today says: "You desire to discover new frontiers"... that's not much of a fortune now is it? oh well...




hmmm.... vandalism apparently must be getting more organized than when I was little. This is actually a stop sign that's near my grandma's house... upon closer examination ... the letters seem to be stickers of some sort. Back in my day... as close as we came to doing something like this is with a permanent marker or paint that didn't show up much... but I really wasn't into the whole graffiti trip as much as my older brother was. I guess I never saw the point of defacing things... except for my school binders, folders, clothes and shoes that is.... 8)!


Current Song: "Hummer" by the Smashing Pumpkins

Ghost or Spirit: You are a lost soul. Very calm and
sweet, you are often the one who asks: What if?
With a clever mind, you want to explore the
world on a different level. Without the
answers, you aren't ready to move on. You are
most likely very creative and find yourself
thinking things through on a different level.

Yup... today was actually another pretty slow day... hench it's 2:18 AM in the morning and i'm still wide awake. It looks to be another night of insomnia for me. Yeah... that's my dog Champ... that pic was taken last month so that's his current love-able little face.



In other news... i've been working with my friend (who prefers to be called "DJ Graverocity") to create more diverse music. I'll see what I can do about getting samples up but no promises. On the same topic but a different note... working with a DJ has been pretty interesting and actually... it was kinda kool. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever picture myself making music with a dj period... but he has actually opened my eyes to wider range of sounds and effects beyond my guitar and it's peddles. The current tracks sound a bit clique (to me) to the standard club mix(with the exception of my distorted guitar)... but I guess he still sees something that I don't. Oh well...

argh... man... I had to break into my own house last night. I seriously hate the new front door my dad bought... to make a long story short... the front door locked itself (aka the handle malfunctioned and held the door shut )... I went around to the back in hopes of the backdoor being unlocked but it wasn't... and so I ended up breaking a window to get in. Suprised none of my damn noisy neighbors called the cops on me for making such a loud glass shattering sound... oh well. I seriously need to go find a key to the backdoor to prevent this from happening again.

In other news... I'm planning a road trip to California for the summer of 2004. Figured I was going to end up heading out on one of my "adventures" again... so I decided to invite all who want to come... to tag along. This trip is most likely gonna last shorter compared to when I usually take off on my own... but that's to be expected. The main reason for this trip is to go check out how Guillermo's doing... I figure my true "adventuring" days are over... or just being put on hiatus.

grrr... I still have to register for my classes... and the last day I believe is Jan. 11 (aka Late Registeration). I'm sure I'll get around to it soon enough. *sigh* 2004 already... that leaves 8 years left before the change... If your wondering what i'm babbling about... well... let's just say that... when I was younger... I use to have these dreams that ended up coming true... long before I ever even knew what they meant. So far... i'm four for five... the fifth being waiting to be determined. This fifth and final one I had... predicted a dramatic change (whether it be just to my life or life all in general i'm not quite sure) sometime during the winter (December) of 2012. If your wondering about details of the dream... I wish I could tell you...but all that I can remember is the date. Hope I didn't spook anyone out... ignore my babblings if you want.

Okay... I found it rather difficult to operate a digital camera and launch fireworks at the same time. Sorry about the lack of pictures but all the other pics I took came out like crap... these were the only half-way presentable pics I could muster from my camera. On another note... my cousins Ditto and Matty got totally wasted... (dont mean that in a good way) once Matty started dancing around like a loon... then I knew he had enough. Ditto is one weirdo when he's near his limit as well... he begans starting fights and forgets that he was fighting and babbles alot of miscellanous things... (example: "you know... strawberrys would go great with bunnies... bunnies go hip hop... hip hop...") I hope those two stay a Lisa's house or at least have Andy (short for Andrea) drive them home.
