Sumooooo

Me at 5am playing golf... its fricking cold today. I started w/ 2 9's (+4, +5), scored like 62 on the front, but toned down to score a 51 on the back. I cheated a bit though.

I decided at some point in life to live life and try new things and adventures instead of pooling and hoarding my money and spending time in a secure manner. Last week I went rafting, this weekend I went to SUMO in Tokyo at the Ryogoku Kokugikan.

I didn't go to a traditional 15-day series event but instead when to a 1 day tournament style event that occurred a week after the standard affair. Benefit is.. more matchups, and a winner. Diss is that it may not be for "points" towards their titles so it is more susecptable to collusion and cheating.

I later ate chanko nabe which is what sumo folks eat. Great cultural event. I loved it. I won't go again but it was grand to see it. I have a video of chanko nabe. They are philosphising about the history of the term Chanko.
