You Haven't Died!!!!

I see you Mr. Leung, you sneaky sneakerson! You poked your head up on kwoon talk! :) You should stop by and see us, or at least say hello.

How Can One Person Change the World?

I look at everything around me and ask myself "am I happy"? Not really, it saddens me what I see on a daily basis. I'm constantly being bombarded with photos of animal and child neglect and abuse. I'm constantly seeing people choosing money over ethics. I'm constantly watching my environment be destroyed. I see sadness and rage in so many people and I don't understand how people just accept this as normal. People need people, love, kindness, caring, affection, etc. Not money or things. We need to spend time with our families, we need clean air, we need clean water, so why are we ok with destroying all this? Where do I even start changing this? And who the heck is going to listen to me anyway? I guess I can only start one act of kindness at a time, until I figure this out.

Not Really Sure What to Say

Well, my momentum has officially been lost. Missing out on so many classes has been really difficult, it's hard to motivate myself to practice when I'm not at the kwoon because I find a million other things that have to be done at home, that, or catch up on sleep. Plus, I seemed to have done something to my shoulder, it aches quite a bit to have to lift it up and I'm not sure what happened. It really bothers me to be so close to the next belt level and hit my winter slump. If I can't make it to classes, I should be practicing at home, darn it! I KNOW!

Good luck Sihings!

Good luck on Saturday Sihing Lagner and Sihing Csillag!!! I know you guys will do great! I'm in a serious debate with myself whether or not to sign up for the year of the horse. I have a couple major goals this year and I'm not sure if I can fully commit to everything and I don't like to commit unless I'm going to do what I've committed too. I see the benefits that this year has done for me and I'm nervous if I take this year off I'll have to start again at square one. But, I also have some personal things that really need to be attended too. What to do...What to do...

My Favorite Thing

My favorite thing this year so far has been learning 3 star, 5 star and 7 star for the drum for dragon dance. That, and learning how to do a head stack. I thought I'd be scared being tossed up so high, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. My least favorite thing has been dragon dance. I actually cried after one practice from being so frustrated from not being able to run and jump. I won't get better unless I do it though. I now have motivation to get my blackbelt, because then I'll be able to learn drumming and do that instead of running. Drum NOT run! Kinda rhymes. *Forgive me, I was just given a lot of sugar* I'm kind of in a rut with my training because I'm practicing some of my least favorite things, combinations and dragon dance. Both things I struggle a lot with. Can't quit though, no one likes a quitter.
