i get ya

^THAT is another very important point. i'm not quite sure what i'd do without ice cream... or cheese... ...............cream i could do without.

yes, but i've been 18 for all of 3 months. i AM lumped into the group of kids here. that, and the "i guess your right" was to the tradition of titles, not the situation. i never disagreed with you there. bare in mind i also train in the western society.

there's a guy who lives down the block from me who knows shorin ryu. i think that's as close as you can get in WI well, i guess you're right. that's what i get for arguing with a drunken monkey.

...this is the first i've seen someone go so far as to call it "evil", but... if it'll please you ninja nurse, i have yet to drink any milk today. mostly cuz there's some perfectly good cherry juice right next to it, but... i dunno, i think i sit on the fence on this one.

be it an eastern tradition or a western tradition, it's still a tradition, and methinks the one he's shooting for.

i'd say focus and don't sweat it. if you're thinking about the people watching you and screwing up, then you're not thinking about your technique, then you will (screw up, that is).

man, it weirds me out everytime i say this, but i'm with the drunk monkey. you go and tell shorinryusensei that shorin-ryu isn't complete and see what he has to say. also, you don't just "completely master" a martial art, i think there's a bit more to it. there seems to be plenty to find in your current style, concentrate on where you are now before you think to far about branching out. it's like that story with the guy who goes to the master and wants to be able to beat anyone. and he asks the master how long it'll take and the master says "5 years". so the guy promises to work twice as hard and the master says "10 years" and so on and so forth. if you have one eye on your destination, you have only one eye with which to see the path.

"a geek is just someone who is passionate about something and not afraid to show it. " oh, i know that. i know because it's printed on my official "geek of the month" certificate that i recieved in english last year. and believe me, i have no qualms about shouting out for the martial arts... or kurt vonnegut... right down to the effectiveness of mr. clean (they call it mr. proper in the czech republic! how cool is that!?!) i could go on, 'cuz i'm a big geek.

well, if you google it, you can get loads of information just talking about how bad it is for you, including the official "not milk" home page. i'm not sure how accurate all of the information is, but it's worth a look.

well, although i've been drinking it all my life (though i don't think it tastes very good), ninjanurse isn't the first person i've heard raise this point. there are other reasons it's supposedly bad for you, and there's other stuff that's supposed to be better at giving you calcium than milk anyway. sadly, i've forgotten all the reasons and alternatives, i'll have to look them up again.

i used to be able to do about 70... then i found out i wasn't doing them correctly. now i'm down to about 25

^does that work for you^? any time my being in the martial arts is brought up, i just look like a big geek. on second thought, that might be because i am...

perhaps, but then again, what do you have to lose? y'know what they say, expect the worst and hope for the best. it's one thing to expect the worst, but to not even hope... that said, god knows i won't the female equivilant in my situtation, so i guess i'm really not one to talk.

sorry, this was an apology and and explanation before i figured out how to edit

sorry, this too was part of a massive triple post

sorry, part of a massive triple post

well, posing as that guy in the bar the hero always meets before the last minute to talk to said girl, it's my turn to say "what do you have to lose, the worst she can say is no, at least you can say you tried where if you don't say anything at all..."... you seem like you've seen enough of these. course, granted, having never met you, the lady in question, and not knowing anything about your current situation might be a good signal to keep my nose in my own buisness, but... feh.

EEP! going!

which reminds me, city hunter. not even the fact that it was a jackie chan movie could save it for me it physically hurt to watch

speaking of predictable movies, how to lose a guy in 10 days... my first time watching it, and i could actually mouth out the words along with 'em for a good while. it was somewhat disturbing.you knew the ending the moment it started.

well, at least jet li does neat stuff in kiss of the dragon. i'm sorry, but i was bored to tears during romeo must die and cradle 2 the grave. it's all i can do to sit through his newer stuff. i'll stick to once upon a time in china, thank you very much

heh heh, where ya going?

well, it's not as though i don't get injured. bruises and cuts and what not happen all the time. just not generally anything really lasting.

oh wow, i could go on forever! Point break, starring patrick swayzee as a surf guru and keanu reeves as a surfer cop. 'nuf said. blade 2. the medalion. scream. the second mortal kombat. most any blockbuster that's come out in the last 10 years, actually. the BEST bad movie, however, without question, is Road House. it's just a great movie, despite the fact that it's terrible. if you haven't seen it, do so now. it's just great.
