Skate Odyssey Bout Photos

All from Shooter Strychnine

I use my ass to control:



Hell no you're not going to take the inside:





Hopefully this is a good pointy finger and not a bad pointy finger at Sin by Captain Jay:

Whew!

Still recovering.

The bout was great. OKVD beat us, but it's all good. They are a great team, and we even managed to outscore them in the 2nd half. So I am proud of my girls, and I have no probs with losing to such an amazing group of girls.

They were a ton of fun at the parties that followed as well. Thanks to the Peacocks for their after-after hospitality. I won Boob Off '08. That's all I am saying about that. Sally Strych9...you my girl!

Next bout is against RVRG. We have lots of training to do, but this week we are going to take it easy and just hang out as a team. It's JoAnn of Ark's last practice with us. She got placed on the Killbillies which is awesome, so we wanna celebrate!

Just watched a YouTube video of the CCC vs. BB bout. I skate funny. Need to fix that.

I am quite tired and need to get back to some real-life stuff going on. I have tons of web-design stuff to deal with: Free Weekly, my brother's band site, Marc. Henning's site (A photographer), Key Architecture site. Also have to ramp up on promo-ing the next bout which is May 31st.

George B. is depositing my check on May 9th, so I am scheduling my tattoo work with T. Hulshizer at Brainstorm today for Thursday the 15th. I am hoping that will give me enough heal time between that night and Sunday practice.

I also measured all the proper places for my new Pro-Designed gear. I didn't realize custom sizing was included in the price. Very sweet.

I have a loud mouth. Lesson learned. Shame on Sin.

Love

Love is pretty dang complicated. I like to think it's a bunch of butterflies partying it up in my stomach, but most of the time it's not. Many times it's something that causes me a lot of pain and a lot of frustration. Many times it turns me into a protective mother eagle with talons prepared to fight. And then there are the times when the butterflies in my stomach dance in perfect synchronization.

I'm not talking about the love I have for a boy, but rather the love I have for my league. This week has been a long island ice tea of fun, stress, anxiety, fear and work. But I can't imagine my life any other way. You don't get the butterfly pay-off without the other ingredients. Otherwise it's not worth a dime. It's easy to be in lust with something, but it's hard to be this in love with these amazing women & men and what we have created. it's pretty magical, and no one can beat our unity.

I love my league, and this weekend is going to rule.

1, 2, Beeeeeep!



That’s my new time for 5 laps. 45 seconds. I’m so happy. A big jump from where I first started. When I joined the league and took my MST’s I was timed at 59 secs. Ha!

Of course, I’ll never get down to Jay’s 40 secs., but I can always try :)

Practice was arrsome as Robin would say. Tonight we are painting the NWARG logo on the rink wall. Wee!

p.s. Look at the stopwatch. I grabbed it from a site online, and it says "Pirate" randomly the only thing I changed was the time. Weird!

Remember to get your tickets for the bout on Saturday!

Come see me skate!
