Planning for a buncha ppl to get together is like fuckin pulling teeth. Now I remember why I never plan. If I ever ask you to hang out and you can't or you just don't want to, say no. I don't have time to listen to your lameass excuses or your "maybe" that obviously means "I'm going to wait till the very last moment to back out." It just feels like I know way too many ppl who I'm sure will not come but I ask anyway so as not to be rude. Whatevs.

It's only your fault if you don't hate yourself enough to do anything about it.

This is a kung fu related post so if you find martial arts totally uninteresting, pls stop reading now.

So the big kahunas at ging wu are all heading to florida for a major tourney for the first week of july. By big kahunas I mean Sifu Brendan, Sifu Charlie, Sihing Dennis, Cynthia, Anita, Sihing Wit, Corey, Winston, "lil" Andy... basically all our hung gar black belts and a handful of the brown belts. More importantly these are the ppl who basically run class, the only person who is not goin who has the authority is Sihing Andy. Now I bet you're all wondering why this is important to me at all, basically I've been asked to help him run class for the week everyone else is gone, I could be wrong but I think this could be important to proving myself in some way.

It's actually kind of funny since I've been asked multiple separate times if I could commit to this. Cynthia was the first to directly ask me if I'd be comfortable teaching the adults alone... and if it was alone, I'd be a bit nervous but Andy'll be there and make no mistake he's the one in charge. I'm just the trusty sidekick. Sifu Brendan had asked me during the red deer tourney then Andy asked and actually made me feel important by pointing out that he couldn't do it alone. More recently, Sifu Brendan asked me again.

I think a lot of the more advanced ppl at ging wu still question my reliability, but I'm hoping after this that they'll see they can count on me. Nothing short of a crippling accident is gonna keep me away for that week. If you don't already know, making Sijei in the next two yrs is a serious goal I have. Right now, by my guess I have about a third of the advanced ppl on my side who believe I would make a good Sijei; however, that leaves a whopping majority of two thirds I still have to convince.

All I have to do is not screw up..

It's been two months of sweet freedom.

Either my dad liked the shirt I got him or he just really appreciated the gesture... or maybe a bit of both.. either way, he seemed pretty happy so that's one success in the failures that make up my life.

Shiet, my lower back hurts like a bitch. Too many leg lifts, I reckon.

Chronicles of Riddick was pretty good except a lot of air time was wasted by him takin off his goggles dramatically then puttin them back on. Also, some of the scenes in the beginning almost gave me seizures. I wanna see Dodgeball and Collatoral (Tom Cruise is the hottest old man on the face of the planet).

Me tired.. Bye

Ahoy hoy! This summer is almost half over and I feel as if I've just wasted it... A warning to you all: do NOT see zatoichi, super boring. What else? Not much, life is pretty boring. I spend my days watchin general hospital or goin to work. Speakin of which, work is gettin crappy; a couple of the cool ppl are quittin, I'm pretty sure it's gonna set a chain rxn of quitters and I'll be left with the squares. Tomorrow is fathers day and I have to exchange the shirts I got for my dad cause my brother thinks they are too small for him. I think I'm gonna give him one for fathers day and one on his bday. Sidenote, one of my cousins is gettin married on my dad's bday. Umm.. that's all I can think of for now. Sunny days!

So I got paid today, now normally that is a good thing but they fucked up my paycheck. If I wasn't so untrusting of them (with good reason it seems), and didn't check to make sure my hours were right I woulda let them jip me outta fifty-so bucks. Haven't decided if I'll stop by tomorrow amidst shopping to let them know or just wait till I work on sat. Later days.

When it comes to bein true, at least true to me
One thing I found, one thing I found
Oh no you neva let me down

Suddenly I feel this urge to go shopping..
