Eye Doctor

So I had an appointment with the eye doctor today at Kaiser and I haven't been since like 2001 or something. Well crazy as it sounds, they said my eye sight pretty much hasn't changed since and I don't really need new glasses unless I want some. Pretty crazy right? 8 years and no change in eye sight haha.

Springs/League Leader

Me and Ace drove up to Colorado Springs for league today to play with some of the more competitive and better players up there. It's cool to go up there except the fact that its a 1 1/2 hour drive each way. They usually have a $5 fee for league play but Dwayne (store owner) waived it this week so that was cool. We played some games and got some interesting ideas for new deck builds, afterwards I met up with Amy at the Park Meadows mall before she went to work. Wayne had also asked me earlier this week about becoming a league leader and I got the request form and acceptance so I'm now a league leader at the Westminster league on mondays! Now I'll be able to earn enough Professor points to compete in the Professor Cup Tournament at Nationals Event in June. Well time to start getting ready for regionals as it's only a few weeks away.

'09 New Mexico States

This past weekend I traveled to New Mexico with a couple friends for the 2009 New Mexico State Championships for Pokemon Trading Card Game. The weekend before that Colorado held theirs, but I chose not to participate as I was well behind in the rankings and felt like it would be a waste. We left denver around 11pm on friday night and arrived in New Mexico around 6:30 am. We got some breakfast from McDonalds and proceeded to the convention center where the tournament was being held to sign in. There was 69 players in the my age group having 7 rounds and then playoffs. I won the first 4 games then lost to a fellow friend/colorado player. I won the next 2 and ended up 6-1 after swiss. I won the 4 matches played in playoffs as the tournament lasted all day & night and I kept going and going all the way to 1st place! My record at the end was 10 wins 1 loss, for winning I got a 1st place trophy, a box of Pokemon Platinum cards, a playmat, and a $300 travel allowance which they will give me at Nationals. This was really exciting because I had no intention of getting even close to the top, and with those wins I bolted up to 2nd in Colorado, and top 50 in North America. We're guessing top 35-40 in North America will get invites, and I'll have to do good at regionals in April to get a chance of an invite to Worlds.

Anniversary

Well saturday is me and amy's 5th anniversary but I'm gonna be in New Mexico for states. I probably shouldn't go since I really don't have a reason to but I dunno, hopefully I do good and get a trophy maybe to make up for it a little bit haha.
