There was a moment during my test on Saturday when all my concerns beyond the dojo fell away, and my existence was confined to an 8 metre x 8 metre square of tatami mats. I controlled everything in this world, and delivered ruthless pain and judicious compassion in equal amounts. In the bujinkan, we say, when bowing in for class, 'Shikin haramitsu daikomyo'. One translation...

mmmmm... fondue. that appeals to the scandanavian in me.
So at the dojo last night, things got a bit out of hand. I was sparring with a guy in preparation for my test, and we started off all fun and laughing. Eventually we moved to grappling. That's when things got serious. He got me in a choke and I could see no way of getting out of it other than giving him a headbutt....

'To fight against an opponent is not the highest achievement of the martial arts. Likewise, those who have won many competitions are not necessarily the greatest martial artists. A sincere martial artist has to keep training, be steadfast to changes that occur or the passage of time, and live with an eagerness for budo as his base.'

I accept my lameness with pride. The complimentary khakis and polo-shirts, although nice, clash with everything I own. Such as a soul.
scatmonkey:
As a clumsy person, prone to dropping food on myself, khakis do not fair well.
Sometimes, I feel like I'm the male sidekick character in a Rock Hudson-Doris Day romantic comedy.
'Don't you know, little fool,
You never can win?
Use your mentality
Wake up to reality
But each time I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin'

Well, apparently, the hoe he fucked has genital herpes. AND she's really clingy and stalkerish. So he's got it coming. hehehe. 
but thanks for the advice, I might use it on someone else.
OMG now I read your entry..that's the song that the person I had a crush on sang at karaoke (to me, I know it.)
I wish life was like the movies. I think my ex is trying to be Chuck Barris played by Sam Rockwell in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Me, I'm trying to be Uma playing the Bride....

I'm in a contemplative mood today. I am asking myself this morning, 'When did it all go wrong?'.
BTW, does anyone win in this 'Roll Up the Rim To Win' bullshit? I mean, I know I've drunk over 1000 coffees in the last 2 years, and all I've ever won in this stupid contest is a FRIGGIN' DONUT!

Well, got stood up by friends for the Stereolab show. They had my ticket, so I couldn't go. Now I sit, hungry and having the options of reading and watching the hockey game. Ugh. I think the word 'depressing' was invented for situations like this.

I woke up to Pete Yorn's 'Turn of the Century' looping on the CD player. I'd forgotten to turn off the music last night in my drunken stupor. In fact, I forgot to change out of my clothing last night and here I sit, in rumpled shirt and jeans. If I smoked, I'd be taking a drag right now in addition to squinting my eyes...

Stanley Cup playoffs tonight, yo. Hockey is the one concession I'll make to the Canadian stereotype.
In other news, Condoleeza Rice testifies before the bipartisan panel investigating the 9/11 attacks. I'm always baffled that she is Dubya's National Security Advisor. I mean, how can someone as smart as her deign to connive with a snivelling, bumbling opportunist like Bush? Anyhooo, her testimony should make for...

According to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, sexual activity may ward off prostate cancer. My favourite fact from the study:
'The two highest activity levels 13 to 20 ejaculations a month, and at least 21 a month were linked with decreased cancer risks of 14 per cent and 33 per cent respectively'.
Those men who achieved those benchmarks,...
