So between figuring out how to put up photos and getting my first friend (thank you, Blyss), I'm finally starting to get the hang of being an active part of the SG community. Word.

Keeping a journal online is going to be an interesting change for me. Not only have I not kept a journal in 6 years, at which time I was obsessed...

LOL! That's so weird: I was JUST THINKING of that line the other day. Total mind meld there.

A friend of mine was visiting in Massachusetts last month, and he flew back to LA, and the first thing he told me was how happy he was to be out of the New England humidity. He's supposed to help me find an apartment if I decide to move out there next year. If this stickiness continues, I may jump at the opportunity!

Hey J.T., I'm glad you've heard good things about it all... My martial arts background...I started when I was 5 in the netherlands with a style called Pentak Silat, did a couple as a kid, got into TKD, blah blah blah, mickey mouse stuff until my teens when i found wu wei t'ai Ji...got a lil' calming action going in my " **punch**-what-did-you-say???" ASS, a lil Muay Thai training....drool...Bak Hsing Choy Lay Fut after that...now in between all this i enjoyed, kicking and getting my ass kicked, by a lot of different styles in Kung-Fu, wrestlers, aikido, Hapkido{I hope my spelling is not off, if so, only by my memory}, ect...learned a hell of a lot, learning my asmosis.....ooww, ooww, ooww. Presently into Preying Mantis, meant really for people smaller then us but the guy is soooo good.....and I'm the worst student EVER, i don't go for months, but I practise at home just due to time and really sometimes overdue it.....oh and I did Yang style T'ai Ji, interesting....I think that's it....besides the regular take downs and control via pain compliance from bouncing...read; don't get charged control moves.
The freemasons, based on the Order of the Knight Templar.This was an organization, to be pleasantly vague, based on the martial principles of the 11th to 14 the Century Knightly warfare conditions, mostly sword, heavy sword, and most importantly, the lance, effectly mostly thru the heavy charge of the Cavalry line at any given opposing army. The mace, ect and other assotred weapons ect. The poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon were a monasic knightly order founded under the idea of the fighting, thusly rightous, monks. The idea of the Shoalin and Templars being similar is a nice idea but mistaken, while the Buddhist believed in peace, my Templar/Masonic brothers BELIEVED they believed in peace and were a militaristic knightly order with monastic principes.

and yes, my children are damn cute..made them myself.

And questions on any of them, write or gimmi a call on my tool free line on my profile
