| Jet Lag sucks. It may not get you when you go on a trip but, it will get you when you come back.

| Well in two weeks from tomorrow I will be boarding an airplane headed to Tokyo, Japan. The reason of the trip is it is a group trip with people from my Dojo and we will be doing Judo while in Tokyo. We will be staying in the hostel at the Kodokan Dojo and will practice Judo there as well as at a few University's(Waseda University, as well as one or two other university's) police Dojo and we will be seeing friends who are over there right now.
In other news I competed at the Evergreen State Open a few weeks ago and I managed to do alright. I lost my first match and won my last two to get the bronze medal in my division. In all honesty I defeated myself in my first match and I fought the same guy in both my first and last match and I threw him with the same throw using the same exact setup, but I did not have enough follow through and received a small score. Mainly the reason is due to the fact that I did not give my self the time to focus and let the nervousness get the best of me.
Well you win some and you lose some. Live and learn.
