Black Belt (10/10)

  1. Oh my word!! Very strange, indeed. I remember being told once how the locals in Houston freaked out our a snowstorm that dumped 1” of snow. First of all, 1” to me is not a snowstorm. Why were they freaking out?? There wasn’t one snow shovel to be had that year…snow shovels are more readily available now in Houston.
  2. I do agree that the usages of Shogo titles are widely incorrect and should not be worn as a badge for all to see or marvel about. One of the most important lessons we learned whenever our founder and our sensei took us to Okinawa was that giving back for what we’ve been given. I’ve always been addressed by my first name or sensei. Anything else is unacceptable nor is it wanted, and has never been insisted upon by myself.
  3. Congratulations, KarateKen!!
  4. If I may respectfully ask, just how so??
  5. My picks for the Championship games: Eagles over Commanders Chiefs over Bills SB: Chiefs over Eagles
  6. I think that more overall commonality is that a criminal trained in the MA won’t even use their MA. Their only goal is to not get caught, and if they’re in a position of getting caught, they more than likely will use a gun to aide in their escape. A CI isn’t responsible for how a student uses their MA away from the MA school.
  7. My Wild Card picks were quite sour as I ended up 3-3. My divisional picks aren’t looking promising either…1-1 so far. In the remaining divisional games, I’ve… Eagles over Rams Bills over Ravens I’ve one question to ask…What gives with the Commanders?? Commanders man-handled the Lions to a score of 45-31. A win I never saw coming in a million years considering the recent years past. They made me a believer. Let’s look at the Commanders records year past, just to 2015: >2015…1st place…9-7…Head Coach Jay Gruden…Lost Wild Card to Packers >2016…3rd place…8-7-1…Head Coach Jay Gruden…No playoffs >2017…3rd place…7-9…Head Coach Jay Gruden…No playoffs >2018…3rd place…7-9…Head Coach Jay Gruden…No playoffs >2019…4th place…3-13…Head Coach Jay Gruden then Bill Callahan…No playoffs >2020…1st place…7-9…Head Coach Dan Quinn…Lost Will Card to Buccaneers >2021…3rd place…7-10…Head Coach Ron Rivera…No playoffs >2022…Washinton Redskins become the Washington Commanders…4th place…8-8-1…Head Coach Ron Rivera…No playoffs >2023…4th place…4-13…Head Coach Ron Rivera…No playoffs >2024…2nd place…12-5…Head Coach Dan Quinn…WON Wild Card against Buccaneers…WON Divisional against Lions. A mediocrity focus before 2024. This is what gives with the Commanders, imho. 1) Commanders got a QB in Jayden Daniels 2) They’re fast like a track team 3) Ownership stays out of the way 4) GM signed the talents 5) The Coach, namely Dan Quinn, allowed to coach the way he wants 6) Coach Quinn plays who he wants to These are the keys to what gives with the Commanders that I can see. Will the Commanders keep their winning ways in the Championship game?? Anything is possible.
  8. Other than in engaging in conversations, time spent on the floor can reveal tendencies whether they be unfortunate or not. One can always run a criminal background and weed out those who’ve been convicted of crimes against moral turpitude. I’m favored for weeding them out on the floor because that’s where you get to witness their character first hand.
  9. Mr. Baseball lead a full life in and out of baseball. Sad to see him go. RIP Mr.Uecker.
  10. I’ll be inside my very warm house…in Las Vegas!!
  11. My picks… Chiefs over Texans Lions over Commanders Eagles over Rams Bills over Ravens SB: Chiefs over Lions
  12. So relieved that you, Kara, and PJ are safe. My prayers for all that are being devastated by these wildfires and to the families that have lost a loved one. That picture is very scary and by only Gods grace, the winds didn’t go your way. Santa Ana winds are still blowing strong, which is a legend in Southern California.
