I did mostly jiu-jitsu last week because I couldn&#8217;t go really hard striking. But on the other hand, I could go hard grappling.  I am totally fine for the competition.  It should go away soon anyway.  I learned SO much from Vinny.  And I&#8217;m really looking forward to my grappling competition!  Mike Pyle also taught me a bunch of things.   I&#8217;ve been doing mitts with Coach John, learning and practicing new stuff. \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00 #syndicatecoachesrock<\/p>\n<p>So I decided that the Fightblok poster needed to be Syndicate-ized to hang in our gym. \ud83d\ude00 So I used the &#8220;paint&#8221; program on the gym computer and photoshopped the pic. XD Hahaha<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/fightblok-poster-photoshopped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/fightblok-poster-photoshopped.jpg\" alt=\"fightblok poster photoshopped\" width=\"459\" height=\"593\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5048\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI can do a way better job at home, but this isn&#8217;t bad for &#8220;paint&#8221; and 10 minutes.<br \/>\nI want more people to buy tickets from me, and I feel like nobody understands that I&#8217;m fighting, so if my picture is there&#8230;.maybe they&#8217;ll notice?<\/p>\n<p>I got some Quest Nutrition Protein Chips, a new-ish product!  I love them!  I heard my friend Brittany in Japan talk about them, then I got them ordered, and then Serena said she got some, and then my friend Patrick heard us ranting about them on Twitter and got some.  Then I gave one to my mom and she likes them, and I brought them to my coach&#8217;s house party and they ate them. Then I gave a quest bar to my teammate for helping me film my video.  He likes them, and so did my coach.  So yay. Spreading the Quest Nutrition love. I am a good lesion. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/protein-chips-small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/protein-chips-small.jpg\" alt=\"protein chips small\" width=\"494\" height=\"370\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5050\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been watching the TV show #Lost Season 1 like a lunatic.  Well, one or two a day.  I just finished episode 14.  My Japanese is suffering because I&#8217;m not watching anime or writing many blogs so I&#8217;m forgetting words. Damnit. But I love Lost.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;.omg did I really just unconciously hashtag &#8220;Lost&#8221; in the above paragraph&#8230;.?  \/me falls over<\/p>\n<p>Moving on.  I went to the movies (by my happy self) on Sunday and saw Maze Runner.  I LOVED IT. No, I didn&#8217;t read the books but I want to now.  And actually, it stimulated my creativity. I have this fantasy book about dragons called &#8220;Daughter of Fire&#8221; that I&#8217;m writing, well, I was writing during my teenage years, that I always meant to finish and publish.  Now I&#8217;m re-reading what I have and gosh, the plot sucks.  I couldn&#8217;t figure out how to make it more original. But I had a flash of creativity after Maze Runner, so I really wanna write it now.<\/p>\n<p>But I have to self-publish my already written book to reprint it, since my publisher went out of business and I have no more hard copies left. And I&#8217;m finished writing and now editing another self-help book called &#8220;How to be Positive: Mental training by the Happy Warrior.&#8221;  So I feel like I&#8217;m doing too many things. And if I sit home, I want to watch Lost, not write. lol <\/p>\n<p>Maybe I should take my laptop to a coffee shop again&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>This past Saturday, Coach John had us over his house and we watched the UFC.  I really enjoyed it.

I don&#8217;t want to move.  She says it&#8217;s noisy. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s noisy at all. \ud83d\ude41  I&#8217;m having this struggle because I want to live by myself.  I can&#8217;t really have my friends stay over if they&#8217;re in town because we don&#8217;t have space and she&#8217;s a private person.  But if I move out, number one, she is paying the rent since we live together.  And number two, we&#8217;re never free at the same time, so we never DO anything.  We just speak in passing.  Therefore, we&#8217;d never see each other much if I move out.  Gah. \ud83d\ude41  <\/p>\n<p>I wrote a bunch of articles for mmasucka.com  .  One about my training <a href=\"http:\/\/mmasucka.com\/2014\/10\/24\/tuff-n-uff-champ-jamie-moyle-heads-invicta-9\/\">partner Jamie Moyle<\/a>, one about <a href=\"http:\/\/mmasucka.com\/2014\/10\/26\/takayo-hashi-will-make-sure-wins-decisively-invicta-fc-9\/\">my former training parter\/rival\/ Hashi<\/a> who is fighting Barb Honchak (someone else I wanna fight lol) for the title.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I called my dad and we were chatting, and he said, &#8220;Oh by the way, Pete Rose is at the Mandalay Bay signing autographs.&#8221; I was like, who&#8217;s Pete Rose? and he very calmly explained it to me. lol (super duper famous baseball player).
