Dear cyberspace,
Today shall be another admission of guilt. I haven't practiced kung fu since our last class. I also haven't done a single pushup. Or situp, not counting the times i get up off the couch to go grab a dirty snack. peanut butter m&m's seem to be rather popular right now.
So in order to rectify this, as I am about to wipe my computer and update to Win8, I'll be in a horse stance and do Kempo/Da mu hsing while I wait for it to wipe/load. I will be the most sweaty geek in all the land.
i'll blog more when I'm done. maybe then I'll finish my theory, or print it, since I'm pretty sure I have it done. And probably finish my IHC requirements draft. And figure some other stuff out.
^^that makes me sound like I'm procrastinating... which I probably am.
Anyway, happy holidays and Happy New Year to my wonderful kung fu family.
Also, I was thinking of getting a real tree for the next while so my home smells nice and cozy for the next while. I know it's after christmas, but that's ok right? What do you think?

Captain's Blog, Stardate 2012.12.19, U.S.S. Enterprise - Technology, paradigms, and excuses to be less than stellar
To all those in cyberspace, following my blog, taking the time to hear my rants and ravings I owe you all an apology. I have not posted in a little over a month,and that should not happen.
Which is what brings us to the topic at hand. I haven't posted because I have been caught up with moving into a new place, a major career direction change, and have not had internet at home for the duration of my absence. This is not justification, but merely the thoughts that lead to my absence.
We finally got back into the cyberworld today, which is nice. But I am not blogging from there. I am currently blogging from the changerooms bench on my smartphone. Which I recently acquired a much larger device to better facilitate my imperfect eyesight, and the larger keys on the screen for my large finger stubs.
So why was I absent for over a month? I believe it is because I was distracted, and had the wrong mindset. It never crossed my mind to blog from my phone during the 45 minute break between classes. Simply, I failed to use the resources at my disposal productively, instead I watched youtube videos of animals fighting, or other people doing kung fu. By doing so, I allowed myself to become a spectator instead of a participant in my life.
By the last count I heard, the average north american watches 6-8 hours of tv a day. That's a third of a day. Why would we let ourselves become spectators in other people's lives instead of being a participant in our own? I for one allowed myself to be less than stellar by not changing how I viewed my phone and allowing that to stop me from effectively utilizing my time. Now I know that my smartphone is smarter than I am I should use it to be more efficient, and productive, instead of using it as a mobile tv or facebook connection.
Though I have internet now, I had to make a point to myself by blogging on my phone on this wooden bench. But my thumbs are thoroughly exhausted now.
