Day 379 of 365 More.

Divided into four extreme stages, competitors face the ultimate test of strength and will in their quest to become champion. Many are called. Few are chosen. Now, lets find out who’s tough enough to become the next NINJA WARRIOR!

I think I’ve been going it all wrong with this seeking gainful employment thing. I’ve been centering on things I either know how to do and are financially viable(being a web designer) or things that I really enjoy doing but with no real financial viability (being an artist). Well that is no more. I have now decided to devote my life to training for the biannual Japanese Sasuke tournament, known in America as Ninja Warrior.

Steph and I went on a photo scavenger hunt run by a friend of hers today. One thing we had to take a picture of was something colorful. It’s freshman orientation week at Carnegie Mellon (my alma mater) and they had an inflatable obstacle course set up that was perfect for the picture. And of course, if we were going to be there, I had to run it.

I will defeat the demons of Mt. Midoriyama. Yes, I will.

    I want to know: Did you fall over the end?

    @lrayholly: just drive over to CMU. I think its still there. 🙂 And no, I didn’t fall over the end. I uh… rolled gracefully over the end. Yeah, that’s it.

    @sassyshannon999: It might be too big for him to climb. I’m not sure. But you and Doug might like it.

    @pi c’s: yep… Let’s see how it goes. 🙂

    you landed on your feet, and then decided not to.

    @ms.Tea: well, ok… to be fair, I didn’t really "decide" not to.
