Ah...

What up!

Hope you have all been well. It's been crazy being out here... I think I've stayed in a different place every night I've been here. We've been walking around so much I can't feel my feet. Hopefully my legs get CroCop sized so I can start kicking down buildings and such....

Anyway, everyone I've stayed with have been unbelievably hospitable. It goes without saying, I'm very thankful to have been this lucky thus far. Right now I'm in my mom's junior highschool friend's neighborhood PC Bang haha. I'll be spending the night at her house. It's crazy how they're still so tight. They ended up going to different high schools. Imagine being that close to someone you met way back in middleschool. It's just mind boggling.

I met up with Sam from the ARC(big Korean dude I rolled with) and Jung, and we all went to a club out here. I got really drunk, and really shot down by chicks. It was pretty tight hahaha. BTW, you save a lot of money drinking on an empty stomach lol.

Chris, good to hear you're having fun at Tricenter! That rut you speak of... I've been going through that since I first started training haha. Anyway, it just means your game is going to evolve... so tough it out and prepare to be amazed at your own great ability!

Mmmm... the way I see it is uh... like, your BJJ ability is like a sand castle. If you want to build a bigger and better castle, you'd think you would just add more shit onto the currently existing one, but that isn't the case. You're going to have to take that castle you have and completely dismantle it, then rebuild it in the image you want... ya know? So it's perfect from top to bottom. So with each rebuild, you eliminate your flaws(ya know, shitty moat, shitty towers, whatever haha). And every time your castle gets ground to dust, that's like your rut. Wow, I don't know if that made sense at all but... I hope you get what I'm saying ahah. Anyway, I wanna see some crazy ass shit when I get back! Same goes for you Chao(I'll email the dude at wasa and tell him you're looking for a job... can't promise anything, but lemme know if you'd be interested in that)!!! >:o (btw, has Watson been going to Tricenter at all??)

And Corn... fuuuuuck! My liiiiiver!! Hates meeeeee!!! I'm sure you're going through the same thing haha. Anyway, really glad to hear you're having a great time. I know you were somewhat hesitant at first, but it sounds like you're settling in just fine :D I expect to share some epic stories with you over some brrrrs when I get back.

Alright, these posts are probably going to start getting more infrequent... so I just wanted to post and say I miss ya'll and I hope you guys are doing well!
