i've also seen some super cool chain whip forms, come to think of it. i seem to recall reading somewhere that the chain whip was more of an accessory weapon, and you really didn't use it unless you lost your primary weapon, so techniques are kind of limited ( ). seems wicked hard to learn, though.

yeah, i'm with you, i really don't like nunchaku. even the flashy stuff gets pretty dull. i gotta' say though, the coolest weapon forms are the ones with obscure objects, like a chair (horse bench), a mop (staff) or i once saw a cool one with a two liter bottle of soda (no idea what that was imitating... it was cool, though ). umbrella/cane. it's just neat to see something different every once in awhile, especially when you really get used to seeing staff, nunchaku, sword over and over and over again.

...but he was completely surrounded by a bunch of guys with guns.... and they just let him go...

yeah, but the same could be said of the staff. i really love it; i still have my very first one, even though it's to short for me an has been through a house fire and has been warped to hell and back. it's like my son

yeah, the staff is versatile and can be very pretty, and the forms are just over all fun to do. it also just seems like a good foundation for one.

bah! flogging molly is just a lesser dropkick murphys!

perhaps, but you can live without your hear longer than you can live without your liver

ha; i don't wanna keep you to long. i was in your position not to long ago, so i hung around in the city for a week or so, just wandering places, listening to street musicians and going to local concerts and stuff. they usually have something good to offer, and more often than that they'll stop and talk to you about who they like and who influenced them and such. me, i'm a big incubus fan; i dig the way rammstein blends their harmonys and melodies. it's like every note gives you that tingling feeling. the dropkick murphys are pretty awsome, and if you dig frank sinatra, i've been hearing good things about jamie cullum. he does a lot of covers and what not, though none of them are exceptional. i was amazed at how easily jimi hendrix's "wind cries marry" transfered into smooth jazz . time lapse consortium is a good jam/funk band, but you can only find 'em online. you gotta order boot legs of the concert; but all the money goes to the make yourself foundation, which is cool. propagandhi if you're into hard core punk at all. the white stripes have some good stuff. i'm in a super huge cake funk right now; they have some awsome songs and even there lesser ones are super catchy.

...sounds kind of like wind and fire wheeles... in a way... it sounds like they'd have similar move sets, anyway.

well, unless of course you plan on taking over a country

yeah, see, in the old days, the cajuns, when two of them had an argument, they would each take a knife and a handkerchief. then they would both hold onto one end, and stab each other until one of them let go... or died. sounds kind of stupid, dosen't it? not that i'm implying anything...

wait, i'm confused... um, why would you play this game?

whoa whoa whoa, i didn't say i didn't like it, i said i was told it wasn't a good translation. hense my use of "i was told that..." and the word "supposedly". and i don't speak a word of japanese, so i can't say anything about that. i had no beefs with the book. and you're calling me weird? you're the one that said The Prince was a good read!

heh, how'd you guess?

grrrr, i don't like toni morrison... i'd rant, but i could go on for days...

i'm reading Friedrich Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy and The Genealogy of Morals. also, i'm tutoring someone in History and am thus re-working my way through A History of the Modern World by R.R. Palmer and Joel Colton (8th Edition) and William L. Shirers Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

i just finished Ha Jin's In the Pond and started A Clockwork Orange

oh my... hold that thought, i'll be in England right away!

only one way to find out

the one i have that supposedly not very good is by Victor Harris. y'know, just so you know what to look out for.

"stick it too the largest bag of potatoes you can get your hands on and post it to the offending company. " such a waste! just send the potatoes to me!!! now me, i like to send them junk mail from other companies. that works, too.

"Does this guy have any more Movies? " not from what i've seen. and lucky boxer, i couldn't even follow what was going on and still thought it was cool. i recomend it, but have no idea how you would get it... aside from going to thailand

i wanted too. i looked all over my area for it. then, when i was settled into my current school, i found a xingyi school. apart of me was, like, BLAST! but i'm fairly sattisfied with where i am now. anywho, i think jerry love trains it or has before. i'm sure he'll wander on over at some point. all i know about xingyi is that it has a bad * chicken strike

well, that solves that. now i just need to translate the rest of the movie...
