It's bin approximately three weeks since I came back from TN to live in MN with my sister Daisy. And much has happened. As many of you know I'm Mormon and have bin going, regularly, to church on Sundays. Also as of late I have bin reading my scriptures every day with out fail, I've mentioned this because it brings me so much edification every time I do. I started back-wards however and have finished "the Pearl of Great Price". Now I'm currently reading "the Book of Mormon".
I guess that one significant thing about me coming back is that I missed nick a whole f*@k'n lot, but me and him are back to our old tricks again and practice Kung Fu every Sunday afternoon. When i first came back however he told me that Jennie was going to be his new apprentice and that someday she would squash me ... like a bug. "Let her try .... for you'll seal your fate the day you decide to fight me!" She told him that she didn't know what to think about being his apprentice but all in all she would like to squash me like a bug.
Daisys' and mine apartment is located rite across the street from the Crystal LDS Chapel. It's great to not have to drive to church on Sundays, I however started going to singles ward last Sunday, thats over by the Mall of America, and will consequently always have to drive.
I've bin doing standing Chi Gung ever since I came back and have bin better for it. My current standing power record is 44 Min. It's getting up there. hopefully by the time the summer is over I will be able to do it for hours on end. And will be going to the United Martial Arts school.
Vary recently Daisy and I began to understand that the things we own should not own us. Well The truth is that we didn't just realize this but instead started to discus it in great detail.

Chen Yinquan said, "People who devote themselves to external things want things to be good, but they don't require their own mind and body to be good. When they happen to have things good in terms of external things, they do not realize their minds and bodies are already spoiled." nowadays people have plenty of housing, clothing, food and utensils, yet they are embarrassed to not have as much as others; yet when it comes to not learning as much as others, or not having as much conscience as others, they have no shame - why is that? Their thoughtlessness is extreme!

One more thing ... When I came home I was yelled at by my mother nad her husband for continuing to show interest in "the church of jesus christ of latter day saints", my mother basicly told me to f*@k off if this was the way i was going to head with my life and that she did not approve at all, proceeding right in to a speech how her beliefs were superior that mine and that their was know other way. Needless to say I didn't like that speech at all. Is it just me or do some people just like to control others.
MY MOTHER LIKES TO CONTROL PEOPLE -
exhibit A) Shes an intirrior desighner. The basses of this job is to tell people what they need, buy it FOR them with their own money, and then get other people to to do the labor for her(with the clients money of corse).
exhibit B) My above statment about religon.
exhibit C) The fact that she molded my sister, who has had no OTHER major motherly (or fatherly for that matter) in her life, to turn out to be a shining and cuntigent replica of my mother, due, no dout, to years apon years of hostile brain takeover.
