Dreams are Possible: The Karate Kid….

236

good morning. 6:15am sunday morning. got the surf into summer going on at bowls and the nssa at kewalo’s today. the waves are chest/head high and looking super fun. i’ll probably go by and check out the contest for a while, then surf the same place i did yesterday. it’s sunday so everywhere will be crowded, except there. but first, going to the airport… have a great day!!

last night was exciting. i went with some friends to watch the UFC fight. rashad evans(champion) vs. lyoto machida. i’ve been watching these two fighters fight for the past 2 years. i don’t like evans because he is cocky. talks shit too much. machida on the other hand is humble. he’s a karate expert that is half japanese/half brazilian. i like his style, his power, his speed, and his humbleness. so this was a fight i wasn’t going to miss….

when the bell rang, i was excited. here are 2 fighters that are both undefeated. that’s a first in UFC history. although i don’t like evan’s, he can freaking fight. and he beat the best of the best in the UFC. but machida is part japanese so i was cheering for him….

round 2, lights out!! evan’s got knocked out by machida’s karate punches…. i was freaking yelling my head off. i haven’t seen such awesome karate since mr. miyagi in the karate kid. i’m going to go outside and wax my car. “wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off”…..

machida is the new light heavyweight UFC champion. i don’t think anybody can beat this guy…. after he won, they interviewed him and although he can’t speak too good english, this is what he had to say.
IF YOU HAVE A DREAM IN YOUR LIFE, GO AHEAD. IT’S POSSIBLE….

these words stuck in my head all night long. i feel the same way. now i’m going to start training karate. i took it when i was in 2nd grade at haleiwa elementary school. now i’m ready to return into the dojo…. and when i get my black belt, you better not drop in on me. haha…. but yeah, no matter what your dream is, you can do it….. machida did it and so can you….
