Early Years - Oklahoma Grapplin'

I wanted to put on some great memories of my early years. Plus Clint, my older bro has given me a hard time saying that 75% of my blogs are about food and the other 90% I am practically naked.
SO here is the story behind this picture. I go to a "wrastlin" tournament with my dad and 2 older bros, Lance and Clint, to watch. We show up and Big Russ, my pa, looks at he brackets and sees that there are only 3 other kids in my weight class which makes sense b/c at 3 or 4 years old who puts their kid through that kind of torture? Anyways so he calls up my mom and says, "Get Josh's wrestlin' shoes down here. There's only 3 kids in his weight class. All he has to do is beat one and he gets a trophy." So I think I got worked pretty good, but pa or Lance or Clint gave me the advice I needed to medal. "Go out there and growl." So I go out and growl at this kid who's dad probably threw him on the mat. Sure enough it worked. He started crying. I took the forfeit and went home with a trophy. Yee haw!
This pic is of Clint getting me psyched for my match. That is my Power Ranger power stance.

I'm loving reading through your posts. I'm not usually a "commenter" but I can't help it. I'm laughing my head off. Great posts.
