I used to have an awesome Judo instructor– he was this tough old guy. He was old enough to be my granddad but he looked like he could kick anyone's ass, not that he would because he was a nice guy. Not to mention his name was Charlie Brown, which I got a kick out of! Judo is really cool just to see stuff like a 5'3" 115 lb shrimp toss a 6'3" 300 lb bruiser.
haha! i know whatcha mean man. it seems the older they get, the more capable they are of just leveling you.
As long as at the end of the lesson, you either end up: a) with a few (or alot of) bruises b) with every muscle in your body sore that you just wanna lie down and sleep c) both a and b.

Sounds like rough sex or S&M. Sure you're not getting them confused? :)
Holy crap. Today was the scariest day of my life. I was with the dementia support group today. I was actually with their caregivers talking about their spouses/parents when the electricity began to flicker. We thought nothing of it because there was construction going on down stairs…
Then the fire alarm went off. Mind you, we had at least 10 senior citizens, half with dementia, and a few that couldn't walk without aid. And we were of the seventh floor of the building
…that was on fire
The electricity was flickering in the stair well and finally went out. We had to use our cell phones to see where we were going and guide the elderly. We would have been dead if the fire wasn't on the other side of the building. It took us five minutes to get to the fifth floor.
Someone called the DPS to tell them that we had people trapped in the stairwell the police officer found us there. He was mad that it didn't look like we were hurrying down.But we each were guiding down a senior citizen.
I was one of the first ones down cause I was aiding a more able person. But one of my teachers had to get an evacuation chair. It was maybe another five minutes before the rest of the group joined us. By then there was smoke coming from the ventilation, stairwell, and lobby.
The building will be OK if a little smokey. And classes in the building have been canceled…
The real kicker was that some teachers and students had left their valuables upstairs cause they thought it was another drill. I, fortunately, only had my car keys to begin with.

I think I've read somewhere (some psychology magazine I couldn't remember…) that its the same part of your brain that gets stimulated whether its fighting or sex.
Maybe that explains why people get turned on with things like BDSM.
Maybe that explains why sex and violence always sells.
As for martial arts, the real reason for learning it is to learn how to fight… or at the bare minimum, learn how to be tough. Look at those hockey players. Their fighting style has no form whatsoever (multiple haymakers and walking right into a punch face first) but I bet they can clean the clock of any blackbelt who graduated from a Mcdojo.
The whole while I watch fox news, and isa only because I'm ithe lobby of a doctor' officeng on paperwork, I hear and see little more but hate and fear mongering, with a small, quiet ticker ofgenuine, unbiased news along the bottom.
Well. Because of the fire in my previous post, I will have a few days out of school. ^.^ My teachers aren't going to bother finding a different room, so we have the next two days off.

Lucky! That fire sounded freaky. But lucky you had your phones! They're so amazingly useful ^^
i was dancing around, all excited about fight night….when i remembered that tonight is the first night of week 5. and then i got all anxious. my pushup program doesn't really get intense until week 5….so i decided this week would be done easy, by taking the middle of the road….i'm glad i did, because i'm worn out even now…who ever i fight tonight is gonna get it easy with the fists….TOO BAD IT'S TAEKWONDO…suckers.
Sometimes I wanna just take a break from it all and just swallow the blue pill and not think of the disaster of a world we currently live in. No need for a big disaster on 12-21-2012 like what that movie portrayed… cuz really everything is a disaster. No need to go to hell (in the Christian sense of it).
You wanna see hell? Go to North Korea or something. And as government expands more and as more freedom gets taken away… that IS the pits of hell splitting wide open right there. That's the pits of hell splitting wide open right there and taking in the world with it.
Cuz thinking of stuff like that can take its toll on your psyche. If your mind isn't strong enough, you'd just wanna: - pretend it doesnt exist. Like a 1 year old will hide from you by covering his eyes. - go wear a tinfoil hat and head for the hills and dig a hole and stock it up with gold, guns, ammo, and 10 years supply of food.
My little sister just found out that [spoiler] the tooth fairy and the easter bunny aren't real. She still believes in Santa though. [/spoiler] But she thinks I still believe in them, so she told my dad she wants to keep it a secret for me. She's such a great kid sometimes…I'm sure when I found that out, there was a lot more yelling/crying involved.
I'm "artist of the month" at my school for november. I'd be happy but so far they've been kinda giving it to retarded kids to make them feel better.
I had another allergic reaction the other night…I was throwing up too much to keep down any antihistamines so I had to go to the hospital and get hooked up to an iv…and geez, those things are not very comfortable. I was there until like 3am too. Blargh. At least you don't have to wait at all when you go to the ER with an allergic reaction.
Aaaand I'm pretty sure I've lost another friend. Yeesh. It appears I've got a talent for that.
My brother asked me quite frankly recently if mom and dad were Santa. I told him that yes, but if he still believed in Santa, he could get more presents.
I was just at the grocery store minding my own business (and buying stuff for tonight's dinner). I overheard some shouting with an Aussie accent. Turns out this guy was angry that there was no Vegemite on the shelves. The store helpers were working on calming him down. Jeez… Just because we a couple thousand miles NORTH of Australia doesn't mean we actually have the stuff in our stores. Then again it's either the heat or he's got issues and just wants to be a jerk or something…
Also saw a kid with his mother in the frozen section. The kid was complaining that it was cold. I turned to him and told him "It's not cold!". The kid looked at me as if he almost believed me. Then I suddenly clutched myself, shivered and said "It's FREEEEEEZING!!!". His mother turned to me and told me I was cruel. In reality I was just being brutally honest. O_O
According to my clock, it is now 12:00 am Central Time on November 19th, 2009. Today, I have turned 23 years old. What sucks though is that my dad is in the hospital until later today.

I just learned that Australians eat iSnack 2.0. Such a stupid name for a stupid product.

Sometimes cruelty is the best medicine for children.
But at least he gets out of the hospital. :] Sounds like good news to me.
I've got a lot of work to do today. :[ Most of it is little things though, so maybe I can just knock them all out quickly and then have a nice long list of 'finished' stuff?
It's kinda funny, someone spends 14 or 15 years to make it and then you read it all in one week.
that's how i feel. a lot of times i'll do this with webcomics or manga. ———————
Some dude kicked me in the back of the knee last night. for about 2 seconds everything was in slow mo, as i thought that my knee was going to be broken…but luckily, my foot was able to slide, and i could turn with it.
if i had been wearing shoes, things would have turned out differently.
Ow, my head is aching from wearing this massive hat.
I got my hussar jackets, but the pelisse was missing the fur trim from the front and the base, as well as the cords so you can hang it around your neck. I made the neck cord myself out of one of the cords in the aiguillette I put on my hat and there's temporary fur trim on the front for the photo, but I've asked Sutlers UK to send me some so I can get the damn thing properly finished >:|
Incredible how much you look like the character I drew two weeks ago for my Hussar comic. But then I was going from the picture of you in the colback. :)
I've been experimenting with all my pens, markers and such to see how I'm going to do this.
And finally clearing off my workbench after an absolute nightmare finishing up some models. Now I have to print up new markings. Grrr. And nearly ruined the paint schemes. Yuck.
That looks way better than I do in the get-up. I'll have to make myself a pair of overalls like that, and I should've remembered to pose with my bugle!
