But I can't for the life of me remember what the hell it was...
Arse!
Have fun,

I am just so, so badass...
I've been reading a book on ninja recently. It's translated from the original sixteenth century Japanese text quite faithfully and as such, the language is somewhat honourable and didactic making it rather quaint. I kind of imagine a Mr Myagi type guy as I read.
Anyway, in this book, the writer recommends that you never leave your fighting stance. IE: Whatever you're doing, be in an adapted version of your natural fighting stance to save the millisecond of time it would take you to move into it if attacked unawares.
Bless! You may think. However, I noticed something that pleased me. My comfortable fighting stance is left leg forward, right foot back and at 135* to the left, right hand up by my left pectoral in a guard, and left hand in front by my hip. I suddenly noticed that I rest comfortably when standing in a less rigid version of that stance. Then I noticed that with the way I hold my rucksack strap and the way I swing my left arm that I walk in the stance! Then I thought about the way I sleep: yup, on my front in a scaled down version of the stance!
I am ninja 24/7, baby, permanently in my stance and ready to kick some punk ass... And I am so full of...
Have fun,
M
