The part where u must read:  HI!!!  Do u remember me?!  No, yes... ok.  Well im bac and im at the reigonals in detroit.  Forgive my bad memory, i wasnt alowd to take notes.  Its been a smidge too, so... OK, enough of the small talk and lets get to the jucy part!
 
    I wake up at like 6 30, take shower yata yata... pop in new dbgt tape (the one with ss4 vagita and omega shenron)...  Jordan arives... We get their.  OK, sry bout the crap, any hoo... I search for Paul and Ali, the rienforcements for TEAM IMAGINATION.  Ok, THEYRE NOT THEIR!!  Grr.. So we team up wit bobby and his crew.  i bought a 30 buck mirror force (yuck!) and traded Vamp, Yata, Torrential, Tribe, and DDWL for CED (double yuck!).  O well i was desperate.  I was running a fusion deck wit no cards that involve them, so im not even gonna start with that.  I filled out my paper work, and on with the deck!!

Graceful Charity ( i need stuff in the grave AND in my hand)
Painful Choice (sinny+2 light and 2 dark monsters= Chaos time!)
Heavy Storm (its like trunade i guess)
Mystical Space Typhoon (its still a DECENT card)
Snatch Steal (it sucks that u cant get face downs)
Card Destruction (drawing power and discarding power)
Traps: 7
Waboku (gonna add a 2nd)
Ring of Destruction (its good cause it kills a monser, not cause it shortens the match)
Mirror Force (brand spanken new, and it better be for 30 bucks)
Torrential Tribute (only one, its used mainly as a trap hole)
Magic Cylinder (its still good stuff)
Imperial Order (wanna waste an mst)
Call of the Haunted (used in chains wit da searchers and Jinzo)
Total: 42 cards
I like that # and 40 wont cut it.Now then, on to round one!
 
Round 1 vs a man from canada with a really interesting deck
Match 1
Ok, first up, i was actually opening field control, i got breaker and kycoo on the field.  He raigekied and attacked with a 1900 atk monster only to meet a kuriboh.  I summoned tribe and did 1600, after destroying his monsters by discarding a ddwl.  He summons a man eater bug and uses creature swap.  He attacks it, cause he has no hand.  My go, i play one mt face down, and then play the chaos soldier.  He did a bunch of damage and killed the virus.  His go, he kills it somehow, and i play call right before he can attack.  I summon and kill him.
Match 2
Cant really remember, but he won.  He got the swap combo though.
Match 3
He got off the combo with the creature swap again.  I just remember killing him with my soldier.
I found out i was the only imagination player to win.
Round 2 vs i forgot
Match 1
All these matches were blurs.  I dont even know who i played, lol.  I lost
Match 2
I won.  Its ironic how i stayed in the same table 2 rounds in a row. Huh!
Match 3
I won
I said hi to lots of people and some of my crew won.
Round 3 vs a dude with a deck that is good, but couldnt get anything.
Match 1
i forgot, but i beat him.
Match 2
I figured out he was running a hand disruption deck. He got lowered himself with duo, but i ended up winning, cause he couldnt top deck anything.
My friend were mostly 1 and 2, and i was 3 and 0!  I got some mc donalds and bought new cases.  put them on and that was the end of my luck.
Round 4 vs Kid who got into the finals
Match 1
We were the top 6 now (i was 5th).  He was running a beat down deck.  He won using some GAFs and 1900 atk monsters, and i could get no chaos.
Match 2
I got the dragon on him and that was it, i was almost beat by a jinzo, but after attacking it, i used the effect of CED to kill him.  Turns out he had a mirror force, waboku, and Magic Cylinder face down.
Match 3
I cant remember it all, but i lost to a bezerk gorilla.
Round 5 against a dude with a similar deck
Match 1
i was just pulverized, i couldnt get any monsters. He used CED and i was at 200, he drew yata.  That was that.
Match 2
It was similar.  This was a major thinking game.  He killed me with CED.
Round 6 Canadian who calls me thunder pants
Match 1
His deck was a beat.  He just smacked me with his gafs and spears.  I lost in a close match.
Match 2
I won by taking his monsters from his field and grave into my posetion and killed him with them.
Match 3
I used Jinzo a little, and then used the soldier for the rest.  He dropped after this match.
Round 7 A dude who was half Curian (i might not have spelled that right)
Here's were it got odd.  We got deck checks and i forgot to change back to my normal deck, with side decking.  I got a game loss for that.  O well, thats just the way things go, in AAAAAAhh AHhhh Ahhh Albaquerky.lol
Match 2
I could draw NO monsters untill the last draw, i drew sinny, and he had kycoo and two skilled darks.
Round 8 vs A man who has never been to a tournament in his life
Match 1
He ran a chaos ritual deck.  I got the soldier out on him, and killed his Zork he summoned. I won
Match 2
This time he got out Masked Beast, but i killed it with the sorceror.  I removed to a victory. 
 
O well, i ended 5 and 3.  I think it should have been 6 and 2, but whatever.  I got 32nd.  Highest of the 5 and 3 people.  O well.  On to Props and Slops, and my shout outs!
