Thu Nooner 12 / 56

Taps: 1. Total: 56. 

Rolled with two tough Browns. Second one had a Bow and Arrow on me but let it go. Later, i told him he had to finish it. 

Last roll w BB who taught class. A seven min roll, and there was 7 seconds left and i relaxed, thinking the round was going to end. That's when he spun into an armbar. Sheesh. Lesson learned. 

Sun 11 / A-side JJ / 55

Taps: 3. Total: 55. 

Trying out new alarm clock. Failed. Slept in to reg. OM at 8am. So had time to hit up ole Arman's place, A-side. 

Still growing. Only two Purples, one Blue and rest Whites. Other than BB Arman, who got me with the 3 taps, two with heel hooks. Not sure why i got in a leglock battle with him. He's so much better at it and I don't really know what i'm doing. Kinda like what happens against BB Tim.
