  1. This looks like a fun movie. I didn't watch Cobra Kai, and I'm not sure I plan to. I don't watch a lot of TV to begin with as it stresses me out. However, I'll probably go see this. Karate Kid holds a place in my heart. It wasn't the reason that I started Karate, but I did find it really cool as a young karateka.
  2. I'd like to thank the academy! But seriously, to be awarded this by such a fun and supportive community is humbling and invigorating. Thanks to everyone who voted, and here's to another wonderful year at KF!
  3. I'm curious as to what he thought would be your answer concerning a drive-by.
  4. I actually put reading this off so that I can read Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring again. I recently rewatched the movie trilogy and just saw the new LOTR Movie, The War of the Rohirrim. It was a fun movie, if a little flat. It inspired me to jump back into a reread of the series.
  5. I like this view a lot. I have a Masters degree in English, so technically I am recognized as a Master of the English language. What this really means, in my summation, is that I have the ability to teach it and understand it at a high level. It doesn't mean that I've mastered every aspect of it, just that my understanding is keen and has been sharpened to the point where I wield the language better than most.
  6. I do too! I've been playing it for years! However, this manga was very bad. It was written like a 13-year-old's fan fiction. I do not recommend seeking this manga out.
  7. Picked up a new manga. Destroy All Humans They Can't Be Regenerated. It's a Magic: The Gathering manga. It came with a card, which was cool. I hope it's good.
  8. Congrats! Do you get to learn new material now?
  9. Congrats! Learning a new form has always been my favorite part of ranking up.
  10. I've been in a reading slump. However, I just picked up Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer. It's novella length, so hopefully that will help reignite my reading habit.
  11. With children, however, it's difficult to ignore them. If ignored, they have the opportunity to disrupt the other class.
  12. I've been thinking about this question since you posted on Wednesday, going back through my training and trying to figure out if there was a "golden age" of my training. Or, if not a golden age, just a time when I was enraptured in training and want to go back. Or, maybe there could have been a time period that I would want to redo because I think that I could have done better. However, for me, I think I am in the golden age of my training. These are those halcyon days. I don't want to go back, I want to continue living in this moment. I want to continue to grow and learn.
  13. I'm sorry for you loss. May his memory continue to be a blessing.
