This weekend I went to the convention center and watched others compete… I was a volunteer and was able to see everything from the best seats in the house. It really made me wish that I had participated but it got me geared up when I returned to class on monday and I was more eager and excited to learn than I had been ever before. If there was anyway that I could do this for the rest of my life, as a job or whatever…I would. Unfortunately that isn’t reality so I will have to be content with my evening classes and at home practice sessions. Anyway this blog is all over the map and completely unorganized as well as random… I think I’ll stop before it gets any worse.
Well friends and loved ones… a million and two things have happened since we last chatted. I feel as if I have purged all of the old and loaded up on all of the new…life is beautiful. Right now I am crazy. The truth is that I have become a martial arts Nerd… and it’s the craziest and most amazing thing I’ve ever been a part of. Right now I am completly in love with it… I’d say that I deticate about 8 hours a week to it and that’s only counting the in-class stuff. The pilates and yoga and other excercises and practice outside of class certainly increases the time greatly. It’s difficult knowing that I am going to have to cut back soon…but it’s been a nice vacation. It’s strange that a sport has become such a big part of my life…and to think it was only supposed to be for research for my book.
