Good morning! This weekend was AWESOME.
***THIS IS ABOUT SAMURAI CAMP, SCROLL DOWN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ IT*
Friday....I went to the Dojo at 6:30pm..and Samurai Camp offically started. We started it with some basic Katas that we already knew, for warm up, then we learned basic Katana technique. We learned how to actually bow into the Dojo with a katana, and how to bow into training, as done in Bushido. It is a lot different, but it was really rad. We had sushi....first of all...I absolutely, positively DO NOT eat fish. I'll have tuna every once in a while, but that's IT. But..I wanted to try sushi, just to know what it's like. Wow. It made me want to vomit. My friend Sawyer was the same as me..never tried it, but wanted to. I had some spicy tuna one, and a california roll. UGH. So gross dude. But I didn't want to waste them, so I had to eat them. But..I lucked out..Sawyer grabbed a salmon one, that had salmon eggs in it, too. UGH. He said the eggs were crackling in his mouth when he was eating it. So...ya. Hayley didn't like sushi. I mean, it looks cool. And Sensei spent a ton of money on it, it looked really nice, but ya. Disgusting. Then we busted out the Saki (which is one of my favorites) and everyone pretty much got drunk as crap. We watched old Samurai movies and "The Last Samurai"..(If you know me..you know how much I love this movie). We spent the night in the Dojo. I couldn't sleep right away, so I went outside with Kristine, and we sat and talked about things. She was really considerate, and sat and talked to me about my current disorder. It was that she actually cared, and sat and asked me questions about it. She genuinely seemed concerned. So..I really appreciate all my friends taking care of me. Then..I wanted to train. So I trained 2 hours outside, with my Katana. Some of the other people couldn't sleep..so they followed. We trained in the front lawn in front of the Dojo. It was really cool. ANNNYYYWAYYY...I got about 2 hours of sleep that night..got up at 6:30...got into my Gi, and started training. Sensei wouldn't be back until 9am..so we killed time. Saturday was so rad. We learned a new Kata for Katana...and did a ton of sparring, and grappling. We went to some grassy field, and trained there with Bokken, which was so fun, as well. So...we trained from 10am to 5pm on Saturday. So awesome. My hands are pure blisters pretty much, from the Katana. It's VERY HEAVY. I could only imagine that Samurai training, 10 hours a day, EVERYDAY. My tendons in my forearms are all tight, so it's hard to grasp something. So I wonder if Samurai had messed up hands, from holding Katana all the time. But yes, AMAZING experience. It was nice to play out a dream. We're going to start incorporating Kenjutsu into our regime. Which I'm stoked for.
Soooo. yea. J and J picked me up last night, and we went to Loretta's..with some other peeps. It was kinda cool. I didn't like that they all got high, because I don't do that, and I felt out of place like always, with things like that. (Which is FINE, It doesn't usually bother me...but they were all being really weird, and they all were passing out and shit). Blah. I hate drugs. I wish my friends didn't do them. But anyway, we still had some fun and stuff. Hung out till 4 or so, then went home. My medication started wearing off on the way home. And this medication slows down my metabolism, so that when I eat, it takes longer to digest, and also will leave more fat content then usual, which will help me keep food down. But..it started wearing off. So my heart started beating like crazy, and I was blacking out. I couldn't breathe too well. Felt like a seizure, and a heart attack (I bet thats what it feels like) combined. That happens sometimes, but only in the morning and such, like 6 to 7.. when I'm getting up for work and the meds wear off. So yea...quite lovely. I felt like an IDIOT when I woke up this morning, thinking about what I had to put Justin and Jonas through. They sat with me and took care of me...and were all worried. But I feel so freaking bad when people do that. BUT. Thank you. Serious. I am blessed to have people like you around me. I took my medication right when I got here. And I got extremely claustrophobic (Sp?) so I went back outside, and sat on the steps with them. They hung out for a while, and then left when I told them I would be okay. I stayed outside for a while...ended up passing out on the steps. And at one point, came inside and fell asleep on my futon. Ian gets up this morning and is like "You left your keys in the door". haha god. I'm a genius. So....meds will be on me at ALL TIMES from now on.
I hate it. I am 100% normal. Serious. I am a normal person. Well grounded, no health problems, no mental problems. But then they put me on these medications..and I'm alllllllllll fucked up. So fucked up. I can't wait until I don't have to take them anymore. I'm not even sure if they're helping yet. I guess we'll see.
BUT..I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A MOST EXCELLENT WEEKEND. Tell me about it, plz? I was gone, so I'd like to know. I miss Matthew. Seriously. MATT, I MISS YOU.
IF YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING FOR A JOB, WE'RE HIRING LIKE...5 PEOPLE (GUITAR CENTER) so come in, Monday, at 9am, with a resume. It will be a group interview. Don't wear jeans, wear a button up shirt, with dickies or whatever, and take your facial piercings out. We mainly need Pro-Audio guys..and a couple people for guitars.
So..that's about it. I feel nautious, which is why I'm not at work right now. I also got promoted to Accessories Department Manger. Go me! But anyway, I am going to go rest and ENJOY THE DAY. IT IS BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE. I LOVE RAINY DAYS!! :)
Justin, Jonas, Loretta, I LOVE YOU. xoxo.
Have a good day everyone, and take care of yourself.
