The Lincoln Assassination

I netflicked the Lincoln Assassation, and I'm watching it now. The background music has the Nightmare before christmas music. The theme of nightmare before christmas goes on when they are transitioning from one bad moment of Lincoln's life to an important event his changed history with. It's very weird to hear disney music when they are talking about a tragic moment in a president's life.

The year of the Rat

The chinese New year starts today.
I usually don't pay attention to the chinese new year, because it has never has effected me. On sunday my dojo is throwing a celebration. Demostations of Kung Fu and Tai Chi will happen, a lion dance, the chinese place next door is crating. It will be good times.

Have you noticed that this year though, it looks like a lot of holidays/important events have been combined into one month. Tuesday was margdi gra, wednesday was ash wednesday, and today is the chinese new year.

It's been quite a week.

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent* (Lent is the 40 day period before Easter Sunday, excluding Sundays and a few minor variations in the church calendar). On Ash Wednesday ashes are placed onto the foreheads of the faithful in the sign of the cross to remind them of Christ's death, of the sorrow one should feel for his or her sins, and of the necessity of repenting, which is turning from sin and turning to God. The ashes are obtained from burned palm branches from the Palm Sunday of the previous year.Many believe the practice of placing ashes onto the forehead began in 1091 A.D. by the Roman Catholic church. However, the custom of placing ashes onto the head as a sign of repentance dates back to Old Testament times: "So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: 'O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.'"

Daniel 9:3-5. (See also, Esther 4:1-3, Job 2:8; 4:2-6, and Isaiah 58:5)

Ode to Kung Fu

I joined a Dojo. It was mainly for a tai chi class. After going to three/four other places trying out their tai chi classes, I found one I liked. It just happened to be at a dojo. I'm really liking my desion on this. Why you might ask?

1. The class size is very small, which means I can ask questions to see if I'm doing the moves right.
2. the instructor isn't some prevert starring at my chest the whole time.
3. They explain the reasons why we do they moves , and how later they can be used for self defence.
4. They focus only on tai chi, they don't mix in yoga with it.
5. the shoes they make you wear, make you really think about balance.

Ode to the DoJo!

January's man of the month

CHRISTIAN BALE

Christian Bale is one actor that only gets better in every movie. He has gone from a swing kid all the way up to Batman. He has played only bad ass roles. There is nothing Christian Bale can't do. The newest movie he is in is 3:10 to Yuma. I give it a "A". " A " for awesome! :)

WALTZING

I forgot how much I like waltzing.
I forgot how much I really like dancing.
I love to dance!

That's it!
