Well, work trucks on and I hope all is well. The retreat is shaping up nicely. Besides that, I've now signed myself up for a new self defense system which involves some jui jitsu, muy thai kickboxing, karate, and other martial arts. Being a mixed style, it's very similar to ultimate fighting or pancrase. I got a free lesson this monday to try it ( Read more... )

Yeah, I've been feeling rather wicked lately, like I'm causing more trouble than good. For some reason, I've had a lot of bitterness pent up for those "friends" and a couple other random people. I've been wanting to start a fight or cause some trouble. I need to remember my karate training and years of discipline, if I'm to keep it under control. ( Read more... )

Well, this comes shortly after my last entry, but I find it necessary. I'm just coming back from a rehearsal. Here's a quality reason why I'm trying to retire from acting.

I felt bad that I felt nothing, especially since it was a man that was like an uncle to me. Today, I attended another funeral, for my friend's mother (God have mercy on her). She had died at 60 of ( Read more... )

I went shopping again today. I bought a few pairs of pants that were all on sale, a couple thermals, a shirt, a steamer iron, a belt, a small messenger bag, a few new movies (all imports and all violent), and a hairdryer (I've decided to grow it in for the winter). It's gads of money, but oh well; that's what credit cards are for. Afterwards, I ( Read more... )

Well, today I had a great lunch with and old friend. We caught up on a lot of things that have been going on, and we went to Red Lobster to boot. That was really nice. Afterwards, I went shopping. I am so excited right now because I got a bunch of stuff that I never would have bought before because they would never had looked right. Now, I'm in ( Read more... )

Goodness me! Well, there goes another failed attempt at retirement. Some of you may know that I've tried to retire from acting several times. After high school, after JCS 1998, after Much Ado About Nothing 2000, and after JCS 2004. It's not that I don't love acting, but I guess I just that I know how much work is involved and would have liked to ( Read more... )

LOL. It was a great time. I brought my friend there for his birthday and we had a blast. They gave us 3 free, really excellent cigars, taught us a great ( Read more... )
