Too many magic moments, to be coincidence...
Hello. I have been away now for quite some time. I'll start on something, then hate it, then delete it. I've been very bad lately. I've been up to no good! But its ok because you only get one life...as far as I know...so bad and good are just relative terms. I mean, I'm not killing anyone but I'm also not paving the road to heaven if you know what I mean. Well, I'm testing for my Green belt in 2 weeks which is great cuz for the first time ever, I will be the same rank as kg. Not for long I'd surmise, as she will probably test soon enough, but nonetheless, one of my goals going into the whole thing was catching up to her. We had a very interesting resolution me and her. Nothing surprising...all stuff I had already figured, but what did surprise me, was just how eloquent she could be. She somehow, quite masterfully, managed to tell me everything I knew, but didn't want to hear, and still make me kinda smile at the fact that she was able to put it so well. Tact? Diplomacy? We are much more alike than I'd like to admit. And kg, if you ever read this, as for fate and chance...those things are inevitable...but still I've never trusted them. A little nudge here and there never hurt! wink wink.
Anyways, the tournament is in 2 days. I'm competing in 3 events...sparring, forms, and weapons. Wish me luck!
Oh and another thing. Here's the yin and the yang on being a sensitive person. As a sensitive person, you are open...no receptive to more things...you are able to learn a lot more about people, motivations, feelings, fears, hopes, etc...On the other side of it, it also leaves you more susceptible to being hurt. Its like in martial arts. If you block and attack on the outside of an attacker, meaning outside their arms ( to the right of their right arm), while you are safe from attacks from their left arm and leg, you also have less striking opportunities ( mainly the side of the head, a little bit of exposed ribs, and maybe the outside of the knee. However, if you counter on the inside of their body (between both of their arms), while you are more susceptible to attacks from both of their arms and legs, you also have more vital targets (face, neck, solar plexus, groin, etc...) So its a give and take situation. I can be hurt, and badly...its true, but I'm not afraid to stand in harms way because what I gain from that is more than worth it. Hope this all makes sense.
