So this week was opening week for the '09 baseball season. It didn't seem that great for the rockies since they lost some key players but after their first 3 games which they are 2-1 now, they seem headed for a pretty solid season if they keep it up. They have to play some tough teams the rest of april so hopefully they come out of it good. I went to wal mart and got some of the newly release Pokemon Platinum 3-packs since everyone is looking for the promo cards that come with it, I managed to pull 3 Lv. X's that I can trade or sell so thats cool. Regionals is next weekend ahhhhh!

Me and Ace drove up to Colorado Springs for league today to play with some of the more competitive and better players. They usually have a $5 fee for league play but Dwayne (store owner) waived it this week so that was cool. Wayne has also asked me earlier this week about becoming a league leader and I got the request form and acceptance so I'm now a league leader at the Westminster league on mondays! Well time to start getting ready for regionals as it's only a few weeks away.

This past weekend I traveled to New Mexico with a couple friends for the 2009 New Mexico State Championships for Pokemon. The weekend before that Colorado held theirs, but I chose not to participate as I was well behind in the rankings. We left denver around 11pm on friday and arrived in New Mexico around 6:30 am. We got some breakfast and proceeded to the convention center where the tournament was being held to sign in. The tournament lasted all day & night and I kept going and going all the way to 1st place! My record at the end was 10 wins 1 loss, for winning I got a 1st place trophy, a box of cards, a playmat, and a $300 travel allowance which they will give me at Nationals. This was really exciting because I had no intention of getting even close to the top, and with those wins I bolted to 2nd in Colorado, and top 50 in North America. I'll have to do good at regionals in April to get a chance of an invite to Worlds.
