Well, January is over so that means its goal assessment time. Since I started my goal of 2000 Sochin this year only ten days ago, I have missed most of the month to actually achieve this goal. Despite that fact, I only find myself with a deficit of 42 kata. Not too shabby! I feel […]

Tonight I did five Sochin using five pound wrist weights and ten pound leg weights. I then did five more with the 20 lb weight vest on. I then did a total of five more au natural. In between classes, and I did five more kata. That brought the grand total up to 20 Sochin […]

John McLoughlin Originally uploaded by dalcher. I screwed around a little bit attempting to find some inspiration for some 8 bit graphic icons to augment the vintage video game feel of my website.

In the process of doing this, I have found that my directory structure (specifically the images directory) has become large and cumbersome. As a result, I saved off a bunch of my old images that I had cluttering my […]

I slept in a little bit this morning, by the time Dad showed up I was just getting dressed. We arrived and I started in on my kata path… my goal was to do 10 kata to get myself to 100 for the week. I ended up doing 15 kata, and I’m finding that already […]

For the last few days, I have been… uncomfortable. I am stuck now between strong desire to continue doing kata and moderate to high levels of physical pain. The way I compensate for this is by complaining, despite the fact that I want to do more. It usually manifests in a “Oh God, not another […]

Oh man, this show is great! They take a Protestant kid that doesn’t want to do any wrong and go with him as he takes the individual teachings of sermons at a church and go too far for them. “Orel, you know you’re not supposed to think when it comes to God and Faith!” This […]
