Yeah Martino... I'll keep my eyes out in case he does hunt me down to create a new embarassing moment for me 10~15 years down the road.

Speaking of more embarassing moments... I did have one recently involving a cute girlfriend.

I have been going out with this girl since last October and felt that it was time that she came and saw me compete. I'm no champion at this stage in my Kendo life, but I am still consistently in court finals and win the occasional third place or even the rare title at smaller tournaments. I wanted to put on a good show for her at the last Detroit Kendo Tournament in February.

For the first time in probably over a decade... I went 0-3-1 and did not score a single point! Yes, I lost to quality opposition, but man... I lost my opening round in individuals to some young kid from Toronto in a very long match, and I was a big hindrance for the team since I was Chuken and really cost us.

I kept wondering if she thought that I was lying to her that I was pretty good at this stuff.

Any football fan would get this one, but when I came home, everyone at work started calling her "Jessica Simpson."
