Giving armdrags the finger...

Steamboat armdrags. Those deep deep ass ones the Dragon throws on people, yeah we were doing those last night, or at least learning them. I was not giving them, but I was receiving them. I have learn, in some cases painfully, that there are certain moves that other people do that you must go with them and just take it and roll with the impact and if you don't they can yank your ass anyway and it's going to hurt. What we were doing was sort of one of those things and I caught my finger on the mat and came down on it and it was not fun at all. It's a bit swollen now, and sore, but ah well, it's still in place and it's moving, so I am looking at the bright side of things. It's just one of those things you have to get. I did add a couple armdrags to my list of stuff that I have learned. Just have to do more repetition to get it down.

Still need more chaining work to get that down so I don't get in certain holds or situation and then my brain locks up wondering where to go next and breaking the flow of things. Luckily Mrs. Envi has been paying attention when she has attended my training sessions and has picked up on things and can be a practice partner for me. Granted I will not be giving her snapmares and such, the headlocks, waist/wrist-locks and all that I can go through, to get the practice in and further burn them into memory of things I can do.

Going to Cali this weekend. The long awaited long ass friggan drive. Won't see Smackdown tonight or ROH Saturday, but I have already mentioned the wait to see the KENTA/Strong match. I know it will be worth the wait. It will be good to go on a vacation and actually travel some place vastly different. Definitely a fan of anytime I can get out of Texas. And the week break from work will be good. And the week of rest from wrestling training will be good too, to shore up any nagging aches and just to get my mind freee of the worries of training and just be relaxed and refreshed in a couple weeks when it is time to go back and get back into it and work towards that deadline I have for myself.

The camera holds like 700 pics and I firmly intend to use em all on the journey and when we get there and with her fam, my brother from another mother and his wife and my dad and such. It should be a fun trip and I am looking forward to it.
