stuck in the middle with you
im stuck between classes with nothing to do, so again i find myself filling the hour with random banter with myself. I have slacked off in my training too much. the only time i really train anymore is sunday, and one day a week isnt enough. My forms have started to suffer from lack of practice. I wish there were somewhere I could go and work privatly on the things i need. I dont benifit as much from the normal stretch, because i have been doing it for so long. there are things that I still need to strengthen, like my knees and ankles, and I can do that pretty much anywhere. But forms beg a lot of open space. it is very possible to do them in a confined area, but it is a pain in the ass to have to keep shifting around everytime you need to move. it interrupts the flow to a disasterous extent. we had a hell night last sunday, which was awsome. I hadnt gotten to spar with anyone in such a long time, and it felt really good to work with people again. i feel like i wsa too dominating with people though. Like i was working more on my own movement and being able to shut them down then on being able to help them not get shut down by me. not that anyone needed much help. I feel like everyone did really well. even gordon was able to connect attacks with vitals like my throat! and i just couldnt keep caley and sarah off of me. I think my best sparring was with my dad, because i felt like i was able to balance my energies with him. I was retreating a lot, but i wasnt letting his intent bowl me over, and i never felt like i was folding. and there was one time when he put his hand under my elbow to try and redirect my attack, but i just used it to propel a spear hand to his throat. he actually stopped and commented on it, which is awesome. I am going to start going through all of my forms each week until i have them all back. I am going to need to be refreshed on some of them, and i will have to keep practicing 6 winds, which i just learned.
caley wants to go on an adventure again. I say we get andy to go with us somewhere in the mountains, hike to the top of the mountain, then train up there. that would be awesome. i think andy would know a really good place to do that.
I wish i could get amy to train. that would be the absolute best for me. to have my father, my best friend, and my girlfriend all sharing the same wonderful thing with me. that sounds kind of egocentric, but i dont care. i am so proud of caley. he has gotten so much stronger! i remember when we had the Kid Wars at barrow, i always had to dive in and save him from being fed sand. but now, i know that he doesnt need to be protected, he can do it himself. I wonder what he would say to my previous entry. i know that goju is largly responcible for the dramatic change in his health recently, even though he still drinks and smokes way too much. he has cut back a lot on those things as well though. he has come such a long way, and he still has so far to go! he is going to be awesome! I cant wait till he becomes a jedi, then i can have him do stuff for me, and i can be like the republic and use him to, like, quell rebelions and stuff. thatll be sweet!
