I doubt I'll be making any kind of resurgence here, I don't know how long its been since I even logged in, took me three tries to get my password right ( Read more... )

Tired, wicked tired.  But I had a really good time.  Met a lot of professional contacts that I'm going to milk just as soon as I can complete coherent thought.  And somewhere in there I think I made some friends and impressed some people too.  Found a new author as well.  Got a very very very nice sword.  Pictures may or may not be following.  I ( Read more... )

Beginning now, and going for the next 4 days, I am on vacation.  Awesomesauce.

I was going to wait, but I figure, if I post a direct link it'll make it easier for people to vote consistently and quickly.  With as little impact on your everyday routine.

Hey folks.  I'm sorry I'm such a ghost on here these days.  I hope that most of you are still reading.  My karate school has been nominated as a Parents Pick for the city of Louisville in Martial Arts Classes.  We've got three other schools that are also nominees.  The official voting begins tomorrow.  I'd appreciate it if any of you were able to ( Read more... )

I've come to the conclusion yet again that life is too short.  It's too short to waste it in mediocrity or dissatisfaction.  It's too short for unsatisfying compromises.  And it's way too fucking short to be miserable.  Not that I'm miserable, my life, frankly, is pretty fuckin spiffy.  I wish all of you well.  I hope you find your happiness all of ( Read more... )

or at least thinkin' about hangin it up.  I read lj like once a week and it seems more and more like I'm a ghost here.  Seems like I can't even manufacture comments anymore.  I know my flist has their own lives and their own problems.  Just sorta seems like Im not important here.  I'm gonna hang it up for a little bit and see if taking some time ( Read more... )

9 months ago or so a father of one of my students approached us about teaching a class at the school.  He's an ATF officer.  He's studied over 20 martial arts and he trains law enforcement officers in close combat.  Heck of an opportunity.  There were bumps initially.  But things got better.  Except now he's leaving.  Found out this past monday ( Read more... )

I only have one and it's simple.  I'm going to keep trying. That's all really.  I wish any and all of you luck with yours.
