Google: highly analytical

Recently I installed madKast, but I was disappointed when it messed up my blog theme. I gave it several weeks while I waited for a reply to my […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
