kendo kata

[ on rotation ] :: "yours to keep" - teddybears

...because i need constant reminder of how to perform the katas properly. i almost failed my ikkyu grading because i had to realign my feet into position. a judge totally noticed and even reared his head in closer to see my number. good god, my heart sank at that moment. oh well...

























BOOYA GRANDMA!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

you know, i take more pride in this than i do my high school diploma and even my pending university degree. sad isn't it? but i didn't get my ass constantly kicked during practice for nothing! i received this during the 2006 december gradings, but just recently picked it up from the dojo like a couple of weeks back. i felt that i needed to immortalize it on this blog. and i need to start going back to practice and stop being lazy about it.

cheerio.

and here is another weather comment

[ on rotation ] :: "nature of the experiment" - tokyo police club


today was a no jacket day. tomorrow is supposed to be around the same temperature plus the possibility of rain...but at least it won't be cold. the ice melted on the driveway so i don't have to plow my way through the snow. that is exciting. enjoy the weather while you can 'cause it's suppose to get colder next week.

i bought 3 books yesterday. not sure when i'll have time to read them, but they will be work in progress soon. i've still not finished "eats, shoots and leaves" and i've got ann-marie macdonald's second novel to finish as well. as for non-recreational reading, i have my capitalism book i have to read still. not going to lie, i'm a little excited to read it. i love reading "new" books; books that are brand new, that is...not necessarily fresh off the press but not used. i'm strange.

i also saw 300 on friday. got there late so we had to sit at the very front. kinda sucked, but the movie was still amazing. where the hell did they find all those men?? honestly, none of them had an ounce of body fat and were ripped like your 90's jeans! makes me want to get unfat :( haha. yea...not kidding about that! :)

i need to go to bed, it's well past the a.m.

cheerio.
