This past weekend has been very tiring for me. Three fourteen hour workdays, so much heavy lifting that needed doing. that, and I ended up wearing a dress and a sunhat, yelling at the top of my lungs that I was a nancy boy.
All of that pales in comparison with the knowledge that I've completed the long and arduous journey of becoming a student. my title now is maestro, teacher. I've yet to find a school, but it will come, it will be built, and I will pour into it all of my strength, all of my willpower, the will to dominate, teach and encourage those around me. eight long years it's taken me, and I'm thankful each morning for the gifts that my mentors have given me. The time is coming soon for me to become mentor to others, the time is coming soon for the gentlemans pride.
Other than this, one of the most important developments of my recent life, I've been copying all of my journals and drawings into a more legally acceptable document. It has taken me almost the last three months, and I've only covered the half of my first new book. I'm in discussion with some business owners about various projects, some furniture design, sausages, sunglasses, etc. I'm also seriously considering getting a full time attorney to handle my patents, on the advice now of several friends and associates.
Financially, I'm growing more stable, things are working slowly and surely. and I'm getting more confident at handling the simple things.
I'm getting excited too, I've reset my deadline for moving to the end of the year, seeing as my job is going well. I'm still learning new things every single day, though at the moment I do wish I'd spent some more time pursuing a degree in engineering, teaching myself such a delicate
subject is no simple task. Some day I might have to make arrangements to start the learning process anew. Whenever things look down, I envision my workshop, and I can't help but smile.
Now that I've completed several of goals as of late, I think I'll move into tai chi. I've met some wonderful teachers who would be ecstatic to take me on. and from there I think I will look into the other two soft arts, ba gua and xing yi. Speaking of which, I'm a bit unhappy with the shape of my body, I've lived long enough with my spare tire, had failing health because of it, mostly because I've chosen to focus on other things, but now I think I'd like to have a nice body, an outward expression of how I feel, so that I may keep up with the things I like to do.
I'll finish this up later.
