Dehydration

Man I get way too dehydrated at class... need to stop that...

sore old man

ouch, me back-usual problems

ouch, me right ankle-brick fell on it after breaking

ouch, me left instep-hitting brick too hard during what not to do demo portion

ouch, me right hand-bricks falling on after breaking

ouch, me right palm-hitting and breaking boards and bricks

ouch, me left heel-using to break and demo of how not to attempt breaking.

ouch, me knees-rising knee kick board breaks

ouch, me toes-coldness outside

ouch, me shoulders-usual issues

I so could use a hospital vacation with drugs... as long as it was free.

Jose

Well Joe was in the Hospital and they took his phone at the VA, then transferred him, so he had very little ways to get ahold of folks, and although he had his heart attack Friday, he didn't get info to me until today. So after class I went and visited him, apparently he had a quadruple bypass! So tomorrow I am going to take him some sweat pants in case he gets out soon. That way he won't have to wear his jeans. He told me that it was nice to be visited and the others who had visited him. The theater got him a big card which was very nice, Maureen had talked to his landlord about his rent, and then his other job had a couple of people already come by and tomorrow more were supposed to. His sister was going to be on him though, as he is about the only one who hadn't had problems yet.

Apartment Hunting

Slow day at work only a couple people asking about tires we don't have in stock and I had to order. So looking to the future of next year attempting to get my apartment chosen as soon as possible. *yawn* long day of doing nothing.

Bout of creativity

Thoughts on the way back from St Joe

That I forgot about inside my briefcase.

How hard would you work to keep from dying? seriously?

If I the dark; who is the light?

Picture Tyme

This is the exit to take to get to where I used to live, take a left go 1mi, then right at the stop sign go 1mi, then left go 1mi, right 1mi, and then left on SE Pharis first driveway on the left.

The Famous Farris Truck Stop Truck and Trailer up on the stilts.


These are pics of and then from the tree in the park where I can miraculously hide from the city folk. If you notice it's not really easy to blend with, and I can see quite a lot, just city peeps don't pay so much attention.

Whoops dere it was

I totally forgot that I had turned off comments on this blog.. no freakin' wonder that I never had any on here... crazy ness... Eh well now they're moderated... handy new function that will help on the class histories pages as well to keep out that stupid spam.

Love it or Shove it

Futurama in case you were wondering.

mmm good times at class. Now to make more videos for others.... oh fuer mein leben!

New toy

here are some pics on the road to Topeka:






A little Ian reminder(and now my camera startup image):



The first pic I actually took as a pic... my roommate:

roommates and a common pc

man... the roomies dl'd another virus, hopefully not all is lost on the HD, although most stuff is on the portable drive... still don't want to have to do all that again.

So I had to then change all my passwords.

Chinese Charm

I get in my car and look down on the floorboard. What do I see? A purple inlaid Chinese symbol on a tiny silver disk. Picking it up I flip it over and it says love. What a good sentiment in my car, however, I have no idea where it came from. I hope Sensei Kelly's kid didn't leave it in there on accident.

Tournament was moi moi bueno.

Many students, most from St. Joe or Topeka, than from Lawrence. I had students do very well, I was very happy for them. Sensei Colby and Sensei Yuriy both gave my two highest ranks very high compliments. One for Jessica, right in front of her, she was very embarassed and proud at the same time, I think she almost blushed. David's was overheard by Jessica in fact and then confirmed and built upon. Although, Yuriy, did say just some Lawrence kid, in his compliment.


Tonight I took a picture with all the students who went to tournament and plan to do so tomorrow as well. I will put them on the website for all to enjoy. Here soon I am going to have to get boards and bricks as I plan to demo that before winter break.

One studeent actually gave me her picture from tournament which I promtly placed in my wallet of smiles. My Brother, My Cousins, and now My Studnet... mmm smiles all around.

At tournament I had a couple of Senseis comment on me always smiling and how that made them feel better, and then even a few parents. I really don't pay that close of attention and actually think I don't smile that often... hopefully it works that way for my feeling of talking to much in person with peoples.

Mikko is back, and he, much to his shagrin, has to go back to Kinnedyne tomorrow. I always enjoy having peeps to keep my true around. Even though it makes me yearn for elsewheres.

At tournament I realized and told a couple of studnets, that I am the only American born Sensei who doesn't salute or place his/her hand over their chest for the national anthem... hey at least I look the right way... Stupid Nazi genocidal inspiring country ain't pledging my allegiance to them or their flag. Hypocrites every one.

good dream

Well I had a good dream after my last post wherein there was much of me kicking butt and not taking names, however, it felt a little too real. Such as feeling the hits I made, and grabs, and heat from the bodies, and hearing all the things in my dream, which of course was in colour. Then I had an okay day at work, went to lunch with me mum, had a two-fer for dinner, went out with smitty and random sears employee, which was okay. Now I feel okay but still long to fulfill that dream...

Assistance

the distance that is cannot easily be traversed.
unfortunately it is the distance that gives me no remedy for my problem.
Yet at the same time it is more distance that I crave.
Simultaneously I need less and more distance.
Contradiction that I am.

spiritual as I am,





This too shall pass





Can I ride it out?




Will I let go.....





I can only hope not.

losing a student

I had to drop a student this week. She broke not just one of the major rules, but all three, and now can no longer come to class. Unfortunately, she broke it during an argument over going to tournament. That sux.

The who? +re

So I get this IM from gran0l.... sometin... and it was all telling me about a bad ending relationship I was in and to not call them a whore... but the name was unknown and my first guess was Dusty's crazy sister Mandy, with whom I've never had a relationship yet she is kind of, or completely, INSANE!

and the other well if it really was the whore, that's just funny.... funny haha... funny like a clown... unless you're afraid of clowns... then funny like a clown getting shot. Mainly b/c emotionally whorish is still whorish.. and that's what everyone of my friends who ever met her remembers so it is now her name.


just like tiny tim's daughther... hehehehe Scranton...

days thoughts

a nation full of apathetic anti-confrontationalists ruled by a select few overzealous confrontationalists.

Hawks V. Doves

when will the doves fight the beautiful fight against the hawks.


National Socialists

once a thing is tainted can it ever truly be cleansed?
socialism-any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, a grandious idea yes? however, due to a little war of the world known as II now it's not so good.

swastika-a symbol or ornament in the form of a Greek cross with the ends of the arms extended at right angles all in the same rotary direction

now immediately thought of as a symbol of anti-Semitism or of Nazism

Communism-a theory advocating elimination of private property b : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed

Amazing but when enforced it used as a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production

So really connotative meanings can replace original meanings... so many years of distance lie between words and their origins, in fact it doesn't even stop at just words.

distance.........in the end... we are all at a distance from the truth, jaded, tainted, and influenced by cultures, societies, propaganda, governments, and upbringing. Little can we know, do we know anything.

For one, I, do know nothing. a drop in the seas, a portion of one star in the multiverse. A long time ago I was told a black belt is when you start learning... I think I am still preparing for that mephoric black belt.


Watching videos of my youth I realized where my desire came from for a certain thing, but then as well I learned how I have grown since then, but also how much better that they would be than me... and how I hoped they too have grown... alas their age and wisdom in areas then surpassed what I can ever acheive... but still too do I realize they will never come to see their other sides flaws...... alas, babylon.

ow

I hurt.... Class then did the video for Broadsword Kata... the last half has a lot of jumps... then I did Fan Kata.... Then every other kata.... ow ow ow... got home about 1:15....am.... ow.... but at least it's done..... my feet hourt(yes I mean that spelling say it with a drawl)
