Athena

ah yea...you had plenty already but here's another one XD hey there hope you enjoy it here

this thing here just moved me to tears here take a good look (man, wish it was april fools heheh )

*clears throat* i have...in the lunch line at school by a kid who was a grade below me..damn he got a good fist...if only his attitude was as good.. anyways..got half my bottom lip torn so not only was it hanging there..it was quite thye bleed..XD didn't feel it though. After the punch was over the fight was over and I was smiling XD and just started talking to my friends..though they were staring at me. Well, finally i felt the blood dribbling down my chin ,wiped it and looked at it. ooo blood then they told me to go to the office..i didn't need telling. I headed straight there..it's a wonder to me though how i got it to heal back up...

XD i agree Edit: hmm *reads article* heeeey I want one >.< *wants like anykind of rubix thingy* XD i was turned to a rubix fanatic...thanks guys XD anyone know what a rubik's cube usualy costs from stores?

temp battle scar i get...i'd just like to point out it'll probably be for proving more then being a man...like for girls....you're basicly a really tough girl ok thanks guys..i think i'm starting to understand.

i can't solce the rubic bube -.-; But I find it fun to mess with it anyways.. *listen to guy saying clockwise, counter-clockwise* -.-; i think I'd like a chance at the rubix pyrimid and the professor's cube just for the heck of it XD *sawa guysolve one in 14 sec and another guy do it blindfolded* >.< blindfolded! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2Acwd6Zmtw&NR=1 an alright vid my first lesson on algorithms yayness on another note.. *stares* O__O

you sort of got a point (sword over fan) ..but...i'll tell you now..if your skilled with it...unfolding a fan doesn't take much longer then pulling a knife out of your pocket >.> in fact, it can be faster XD

welcome Any idea what kind of kung fu it was? because there are actually many styles of it. and I'm curious

So far? um.. wakizashi, staff, sai and this set up I found with little blades but one is shorter then the other >.> makes for a good pair of weapons not to mention yourself!

In today's world? Well..might work well against a street or fist fighter wonder what the heck you're doing with the fan hehehe

What do you think of using rivalry as motivation to improve oneself? Or for future reference...for the students to better themselves? I just wonder how good or bad rivalry is in some people's opinions

O.o it looks like something you'd see in a store XD very well done *thumbs up*

XD oh man i am slow..it took me a while to get that one O.o good quote though

k >.> I told you thw white part is hard to explain and understand >.>

ok...there are some things in this world hard to explain XD ok...now when ever I tell people that there are times when my mind goes "blank" and a number of those times are when i'm fighting. They always say that it is dangerous to do that, that i should stop, and that if i don't somday i might die O__O but i meerly put it in words that a normal person might try to explain it with let's see now if i can explain it better. I know i'm thinking, and can see and my body can react..but I can't read my own dam mind >.< Sometiems it's like I can see things in front of me but there's also a blank ness in mind again..and somehow I see white >.< it's not like it's there in the real world, I can see the things in the real world..but there's also like..white somewhere in there XD let's see...ah! this one time I was sparring with a cousin of my neighor who is a yellow belt in tae kwan do. He kicked me...it started a bit high and would have dropped to hit me just below the last rib. Now, I could see him..and I could see the kick, and I could see the lake behind him...but I also couldn't read my own mind, I saw saw white 9again..VERY hard to explain) and just went to catch his kick..which i did successfully..and without looking where I was placing my hand. -.-; there..I did my best to explain it.

I beleive mediating simply to be the act of total relaxation, let your mind let go of all stress and your body go limp. almost to the point oif 'oh..a nap sounds good right about now" XD I've used mediation to remember things that I've momentarily forgotten. I've used meditation right after I wake u, it is great right after a good stretch session. Then I take a light nap and then eat breakfast XD gone into a bit of detail there huh >.> I've become rather good at meditating even when up and doing stuff..i think, or maybe that's just the effect of mediating often..you start to feel like you're ALWAYS meditating XD The stretching helps and the meditating well..it's just a good way of stress releif other then imagining you're kicking someone's behind

oh yes...a good quote..it just doesn't inspire me tho XD but it makes me laugh sometimes...now really, where have I heard that quote before?

*grins* yea..so do I

I like your guy's Quotes Tao te ching, chapter twenty two First two lines XD Yeild and overcome Bend and be straight *flips thorugh book* Chapter Twenty four..6 lines "He who stands on tiptoe is not steady He who strides cannot maintain the pace he who makes a show is not enlightened he who is self rteous is not respected he who boasts acheives nothing he who brags will not endure" (eh..) Aha! chapter twenty eight ..some parts "know the strength of man But keep a woman's care!" "Know the white, but keep the black." "Know honor, but keep humility " (you can see i take a little inspiration from Lao tsu i'm just not a complete follower since I don't quite understand it all) um an itty bit or chapter 30 "Force is followed by loss of strength" *sigh* chapter 43, first line The softest thing in the univers over comes the hardest thing in the universe. Chapter 68 XD line 2 "A good fighter is not angery" Chapter seventy six >.< the whole thing A man is born gentle and weak At his death he is hard and stiff Green plants are tender and filled with sap At their death they are withered and dry Therefore the sitff and unbending is the disciple of death The gentle and yielding is the disciple of life Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle A tree that is unbending is easily broken The hard and strong will fall The soft and weak will over come I actually can understand his point of view, and it brings some inspiration to me and my training...but I could easily adjust his philosophy for my own..in fact I do *shrugs* "Big things comes in small packages...and the biggest package, could possibly only hold the smallest thing or sometimes even nothing at all"

not sure about spotting a good fighter besides stalking them XD but my dad says you can tell how fast a person is by watching how they move..I guess it's true. I've been watching my cousin tom and dad for a while..and have been able to scale people just by watching them move..besides...scaling people up to see how good a fighter or how fast they could be could be the very thing that keeps me from going insane sometimes XD though i don't really give it much thought much now days *shrugs*

yea..i started out because i got interested in it...i think it might have been annie (a movie) that started me off..who knows so I started training myself for the fun of it XD but that soon quickly changed due to deepening of a relationship that had taught me just how much the life of another could mean to me. So I'm primarily training for that..Self defence was originally taught for defending yourself...but i use it not just for defending myself..but others as well. Deeply spiritual i guess.. instint quote 'there's nothing like a little peace and tranquility while kicking someone's behind"

XD yea, i get the basic idea. still i don't think i'll be showing off bruises anytime soon...my worst bruise...hitting my knee three times in the same spot >.< it's one of those stupid bruises XD if anything though, I did get battered up during spar training a few weeks ago >.> got a blister weapons training..if blisters count XD so there o.o

i can't see it >.< what's the law?

well you see...i don't know the age for a gun or knife or hidden weapon licence...and i'm below 18 so i doubt i would qualify XD Yet I still want to protect my friends, people i love, and innocent people in general. I dedicate mylife to it. So, the only thing I got left is martial arts. It doesn't cost me any money because I study on my own, I have no real teacher..though I have this guy I concider the closest thing to a true teacher.. Istudy many martial arts. Techniques, concepts, history... I try them out and add what I like and what works for me right now. I intend to solidify it to make it something other then jeet kun do in the future XD so yea, that's my reason

O__O i can take a hit too.. but i don't brag about bruises >.>; bragging right huh? ok well...*goes up to imaginary frined* "i got tese little things from punching a tree!" Xd sorry..no offence..it's really late...i'm random..and need an outlet other then words because my dad's asleep >.>
