There is nothing more devastating than seeing a parent losing a child suddenly and at an early age.
One of the Sensais at my dojo lost her 12 year old son to complications from a viral infection. He was a cute and funny kid. Looking around at the visitation and funeral, you could just see the pain and heart stopping emotion of everyone from family,...

Poor child. My sympathies to him, his family, and friends. It was nice of you to tribute him here.
I watched this show called Paranormal State the other night on A&E and found several things wrong with it. This is just what I noticed.
*The name of the "demon" is likely Belial. The letters are flashed out of order in red during cut scenes. If you watch Medium Chip Coffey write down the name that "name" to him he clearly writes Belial with the...

thanks for the friend request.
at first I was a little nervous.
then I saw you were friends with Warren Ellis and thought to myself
"Hey, he's friends with Mr. Ellis, that's gotta be a good thing and that alone is a reason to accept!"

Nice to meet you Dante. When it comes to the supernatural my views are usually more similar to that of James Randi or Penn & Teller. I try to keep an open mind though. In fact, I often find myself blaming god for many things. LOL Seriously, thanks for the friend invite. Catch ya later.
Bare with me, this is a bit tangiential and I am not sure I have a real point.
I never "got" poetry. I realize poetry is about emotion but I am not moved by 99% of poetry I read. I am always looking for the "story" in poetry like in epic peoms such as Milton's Paradise Lost, Dante' Divine Comedy, or Beowulf. That being said...

"I am a Martial Artist"
I am a martial artist.
I see through different eyes.
I see a bigger picture
when others see gray skies.
Though many can't conceive it,
I stand ... facing the wind.
My bravery, not from fighting,
but from my strength within.
I am a martial artist.
I'll walk the extra mile.
Not because I have too,
but because it's worth...

Happy Birthday!
I'm sick and I'm bored and decided to look up some funny quotes to cheer me up. I'll share:
Racism isn't born, folks, it's taught. I have a two-year-old son. You know what he hates? Naps! End of list. - Denis Leary
I intend to live forever, or die trying. - Groucho Marx
Marriage is the chief cause of divorce. - Groucho Marx

We had some interesting drama surrounding my cousin this week.
I have a cousin whom I am very close with and he happens to be gay. He had a real difficult time with it for many years mostly due to other family members and a lot of closed minded people in our town. After years of therapy and moving to West Hollywood, he has finally...

Your aunt is an unfortunate relic of an older less informed generation. I think people like that just can't help themselves. Imagine the horror, of having to live in her rigid, uninformed, un-enlightened skin!
Don't let it get you bro . . . at least you know what's right and wrong.
ps . . the bible was man made too! Do you realize, that there were many many more "books", that didn't make the cut? Censorship found its origins, long before most people realize!

I was thinking the other day how with the advent of new technologies such as Texting, emails, cel phones, and instant messaging, Letter writing has become a lost art. No one writes hand written letters anymore.
I thought about this once before and decided to send out to my friends a letter sent through the post office. Out of eight letters sent, no one sent...

You're right about that! Getting a letter in the mail, is like a present!
I also have a problem with the trend to have cell phones that do everything but your laundry. I just want a phone. Period! I don't need it to play music, or get e-mail, or display GPS maps, or take photos. I just want a freakin' phone!

Annoying.
