Ok ppl. On the viewers left, starting with the brown belted girl w/ the white strip, is Amanda. The green belt dude is John. And the orange belt is me. Amanda is my my Ju-no-Kata(formal defensive presentation) partner and fights like a friggin tank. The only time I beat her is when, by chance, I get her into matwork. John is my matwork partner and unfortunately always lets me win (he's no fun). Unless we have to do Randori (sorta like hand-to-hand combat), in which case he does a wrestling move called the Firemens' Carry, and I am left to do nothing but cry as he tosses me across the room.
Anywho, these are the ppl who went with me (that I liked) on the float for the annual Rodeo down here. Its took a couple hours to complete the whole thing. Yes, I notice I am the only dark person there. HEHE, looks kinda funny. I kept complaining on the float, asking when all our asian members were coming, but none came.
We had to ride on the small float bcuz of the things we had to do. Originally it was much bigger. During the parade we were called up two-by-two to "display fight" on the float to encourage ppl to join. Although this was a commercial type event, I edited out the locations and phone #'s for a reason. Don't ask just live with it.
This had to be the HOTTEST day in April. God sure does have a sense of humor. We stayed on the float, unmoving for like 3 hours, arguing over the last creme donut and fighting for hats/water. Eventually we all got tired and took to laying on each other to keep out of the sun, since no one wanted to sit under the trailer. Oy vey.
