Heres the part where I let everyone down. I didnt win. The guy I fought first round was an aussie named Judd Reed. He beat me in what was a very close/controversial decision after the second round. I didnt fight my best, however I did kick him in the head once that staggered him. But for whatever reason I didnt get the wazari. I was pretty damn ( Read more... )

Im sitting here in the lobby of the hotel across the street from the tournament. I will walk over there in about half an hour. I feel strong. I feel ready. I feel like I am going to puke. I just want to give it my best. Please pray.

Here goes nothing...

Im here in japan. I finally saw a pic of the guy Im fighting. Bad news: he seems all business Good news: so am I. Plus I have about 18 pounds and 2 inches on him. I hope it helps. Kancho has these new Byakuren Kaikan duffel bags. Holy shit they:re hot. I love my home (Japan). Today the lady that runs the public bath I go to made me sign my picture ( Read more... )

Went to see Saosin with Dustin last night. Saosin has been in my top 3 bands since I first got ahold of their cd, but that show moved them to #1. Seriously, if you wanted to go but didnt you need to reevaluate your priorities! Peter was fun to see, and after my 2nd show in Cinci, I finally understand why they fight so much. I almost hit people on ( Read more... )

Now for my obligitory election post. This goes out to all the crybabies who got "shortchanged" by the election. "Waaaah! America got shortchanged by Bush getting reelected!" Let me staight one painfully obvious truth, America did NOT get shortchanged. Am I a Bush fan? I would say no. Did I vote for him? Yes. It honestly came down to the sheer ( Read more... )

Let me tell you a story. Football demigod Brett Farve mentions preseason that his team (the greatest ever, by the way) are going "Super bowl or Bust." The last time Farve said that was 1996, when the Packers won the Superbowl last. The Packers would start there season in 2004 with a challenge, defending NFC champions the Carolina Panthers at ( Read more... )

( Japan )

Ok everyone, time for some group participation. Ive finally got all of my pictures from Japan on here. What do you guys want to see? My friends? My instructors? Me and Genki Sudo? The options are limited only by your imagination (and by what I have pictures of). Please respond, I would love to show them off, but there are too many to simply put ( Read more... )

I just wanted to make something clear for those who do not see me very often. Just because I am not posting here very much doesnt mean that I am sitting alone in a room and sulking. (Not that I have been accused of that, Im just saying). I want you all to know that I am still Brent, nobody can take that from me. Without sounding too "preachery" or ( Read more... )
