It seems that my soul has been in a constant state of its own version of Fight or Flight for a while now. I seem to only function in little explosions, afterward retreating into a world of knitting or crafting or something equally absorbing.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I'm not feeling overwhelmed, just out of balance and stretched a little thin. Like my internal scheduler is broken and my life is lopsided. I'm not doing too much, i haven't taken too much on, but i feel like i'm playing psychic whack-a-mole and i'm not keeping up the little buggers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I guess I need to sit down and get things balanced and focused again. But not only will that take some introspection and most likely some commitments, but! it will cut into my knitting time damnit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1782533390947423465-2837640435044776808?l=doglippin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://doglippin.blogspot.com/feeds/2837640435044776808/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1782533390947423465&amp;postID=2837640435044776808&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1782533390947423465/posts/default/2837640435044776808'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1782533390947423465/posts/default/2837640435044776808'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://doglippin.blogspot.com/2008/01/damn-missed-him-again.html' title='Brain Rodents Have the Better of Me:'/><author><name>auntie wee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04538407086703971358</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k-Pi3uWJ6bs/R4PXOcMxocI/AAAAAAAAAUU/uvKw5EcB0DM/s72-c/polson+038.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782533390947423465.post-3585724603013317771</id><published>2008-01-04T11:02:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-04T11:04:37.436-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tejas baybee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daily'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blurbified'/><title type='text'>*Yawn*</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Huh?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;by Hermann Hesse&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try
anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent
some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in.
This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's
time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in
faeries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Take the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://bluepyramid.org/ia/bquiz.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Book Quiz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;at the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://bluepyramid.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Blue Pyramid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Uh, so yeah. This totally describes me, except maybe the &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; lonely part, that's where the b.e.d. comes in i suppose. And chilling out under a tree? I'm so ready.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I know it’s been like 12 years since our cosmic paths collided but I still, to this day, think about you and wonder where I might be now had I joined you and your merry band of school-bus-driving hippies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;You and your fabulous head full of dreads, me in my flowing hippie skirts. Your baby soft hands seemed to find all the knots in my shoulders as you massaged them on the sidewalk in front of the Palace while your friends lovingly coaxed primal beats from their bongos in the background. The connection? It was instantaneous, magnetic and mesmerizing. You and your friends were just passing through on your way to pick mushrooms in Oregon and you wanted us to come with you. As my butterfly brain flirted over that possibility we walked, held hands and each other.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Those two days were completely infused with you; sketch books were filled with my impressions of you. Everywhere I went I would be chanting your name, rolling the R, filling myself with the simplicity of your name. Those two days were buttery and warm to me, they were like sinking into a bathtub of melted chocolate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ah, Rrrrramone, I will never forget you.&lt;/p&gt;

As is my habit, I looked down to check out her shoes and saw that she had on these fantastic beaded moccasins. The woman was increadibly shy, but when I complimented on her beautiful moccasins and asked her if I could take a picture of them she lit up and told me absolutely. I asked her if she had made them and she said no, that she hadn't been able to bead since she had had her stroke, and that her sister brought them back for her from Canada. She was very proud of the fact that they were moose hide. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Recently I have been wanting to explore my culture, to wrap myself up in it and relax down into it. I've been wanting to have something that I can call my own, something that I feel that I belong to. When I see moccasins like that, with the intricate beadwork, it makes me long for that cultural envelopment even more, but I get overwhelmed with the idea of where to start. As a Texan transplant with roots in Browning, Montana I think it might be hard for me to find a way to connect down here.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I realize that I could immerse myself in the culture of wherever I am at the time. That I could use my nomadic roots and rather than one culture, I could assimilate many and make them my own, but when you create something new or your own version of something you're still alone. You don't have a sense of community.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So what do you do when you're not willing to join or start your own cult?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1782533390947423465-3732639913245345225?l=doglippin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://doglippin.blogspot.com/feeds/3732639913245345225/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1782533390947423465&amp;postID=3732639913245345225&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1782533390947423465/posts/default/3732639913245345225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1782533390947423465/posts/default/3732639913245345225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://doglippin.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-thick-hide.html' title='I Promise, No Kool-Aid:'/><author><name>auntie wee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04538407086703971358</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k-Pi3uWJ6bs/Ryz8uXiYL-I/AAAAAAAAARE/pi4r98EgcZg/s72-c/delete+174.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782533390947423465.post-1019269568630397725</id><published>2007-11-02T23:07:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-02T23:12:19.755-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NaBloPoMo MoFo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tejas baybee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daily'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blurbified'/><title type='text'>Whiter Than Sour Cream:</title><content type='html'>It is:

I'm tired. I'm now, by the skin of my teeth, an "advanced" kung fu student.

Please forgive me for my lack of posting these last 3 weeks; i've been "training" for the test i took this Saturday. Here are my miserable stats:

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;1.5 mile run&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = finished in 19:01 and should have finished in 15:00...4 points taken off
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;8 Basic Punches&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = decided i only need to do 7?...points taken off
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;8 Basic Kicks&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = decided i only need to do 7?...points taken off
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gung Lic&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = apparently made up my own version, leaving a section out...points taken off
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sup Se Lo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = ok
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;8 Basic Stances&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = ok
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;8-Chain Punch&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = ok
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Eagle-Claw Hammer-Fist&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = ok
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dropping Horse Defense&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = ok
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;16-Hands&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = ok
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cern Ca Do&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (2-handed sword form) = ok
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;2 minutes of Horse Stance&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; = ok

I passed, but i am not happy with how i did. I'm mad at myself for leaving out a kick and a punch &lt;em&gt;in both of my basics&lt;/em&gt;, especially since i've been practicing them correctly. The section that i left out of Gung Lic doesn't seem to bother me as much since i've consistantly been leaving it out since i started "training". Generally i was faster in my forms but they felt sloppy to me (and obviously the repercussions to being quicker was that i forgot some of them...). I was fairly happy with my sword form considering i learned the 3rd section in 2 lessons and could remember it and was able to put all 3 sections together fairly smoothly. I of course could have been lower and more precise, but there were things that i &lt;strike&gt;was happy about&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strike&gt;am content with&lt;/strike&gt; can accept.

Let me give you a little backstory: since i've been working the front desk on Mondays and Wednesdays i haven't been able to attend any of the Monday night weapons classes and i was missing every Wednesday night class essentially cutting my class time down to 2 nights a week. Should i have proof-reading or editing work that needed to be done (or if i just got burnt out from all the crap i keep up with and have to do), sometimes those Tuesday and Thursday classes got eliminated thus making my practice time whatever i did at home or after hours (without instruction) and the occasional class (blessedly with instruction). Now that i'm in the advanced class, sifu tells me that i will: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;be finishing Gung Lic form (i only know 2 of 3 sections) while simultaneously,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;learning Bong Bo form, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;be catching up on section 1 of the staff form (i am roughly 8 weeks behind) while simultaneously,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;learning section 2 of the staff form (so that i stay caught up),&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;be continuing my regular in-class drills and,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;be learning to fight.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;That all takes place on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Also taking place on Tuesdays - before kun fu - will be a 45 minute &lt;strike&gt;ass-kicking&lt;/strike&gt; kickboxing class. With Sifu. To be followed up with a &lt;em&gt;private lesson&lt;/em&gt; kickboxing class with Sifu on Friday afternoons. This is to prepare me to start teaching the kickboxing classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Apparently there will be no time for burn out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyhoo. That's my story for the past 3 weeks and a brief yet grisly look into the rest of my freakin life...wish me luck.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1782533390947423465-7921901058637726311?l=doglippin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://doglippin.blogspot.com/feeds/7921901058637726311/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1782533390947423465&amp;postID=7921901058637726311&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1782533390947423465/posts/default/7921901058637726311'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1782533390947423465/posts/default/7921901058637726311'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://doglippin.blogspot.com/2007/10/and-im-supposed-to-find-time-to-run.html' title='And I&apos;m Supposed to Find Time to Run Regularly Too:'/><author><name>auntie wee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04538407086703971358</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k-Pi3uWJ6bs/RxOQyRxXdoI/AAAAAAAAAQE/qcEEKXtr6eE/s72-c/Pictures+027.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782533390947423465.post-8075846155447980720</id><published>2007-10-14T10:29:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T17:11:49.729-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tejas baybee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daily'/><title type='text'>Morning</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k-Pi3uWJ6bs/RxOH0RxXdmI/AAAAAAAAAP0/sNSDegNB3OE/s1600-h/Pictures+021.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121586533443794530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k-Pi3uWJ6bs/RxOH0RxXdmI/AAAAAAAAAP0/sNSDegNB3OE/s400/Pictures+021.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Then why the hell haven't i been here you ask? Hm. That &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; a good question. I'm not sure what's been going on really.

I know that i've been flying low, trying to recover from the fiasco that was the Buick's Dying Days - in which i continuously flung money at it in the hopes that, after approximately $700 in the space of a month, it would be fixed and drivable - two vacations, two new tattoos (at, ahem, a &lt;em&gt;significantly&lt;/em&gt; lower price than i had anticipated - two for the price of one hey hey!) and the stress brought on by the B.E.D. starting high school. All of this happened within a two month span. I'm broke - but am catching up, have been exhausted - but am catching up, am 4 weeks away from my test out of intermediate and into advanced - which will involve a 1.5 mile run, one complete weapon form and &lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; of my empty hand forms - and i haven't started running or training or, hm, anything.

I'll be turning 34 in a couple of days and it really hasn't sunk in yet, partly due to the thick layer of "burnout" that envelopes me. But not really burnout. But yeah, kinda like burnout. I don't know. Two jobs, free-lancing, and no training seems to take a toll on me, but on the other hand, i've been travelling a lot, have been drawing a lot more and crafting a lot more and have been devouring books. Oh sweet christ have i been reading. And music? Yeah baby. People have just been shoving music at me and i can't seem to get enough. &lt;em&gt;Here Wee, take this external hard drive that has nothing on it but music, and copy what you want. Add some stuff to it if you think i'd like it...Oh, here, i brought this fist-full of CDs for you that i thought you'd like. No, you don't have to give them back, i copied them for you...&lt;/em&gt;Ahh and the music. The music, it makes me smile. It elicits "Man! You listen to the coolest music!" from the Blue Eyed Daughter. Oh, and letters. Yeah i've been writing more letters. Well, notes really. Nothing lengthy or soul spewing, but handwritten and slightly personal.

But somehow, my pendulum seems to swing blatantly one way or the other and never just hangs out and i'm thinking that to just dangle would be a nice thing. Dangling with a little dabbling...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1782533390947423465-977669691074913937?l=doglippin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://doglippin.blogspot.com/feeds/977669691074913937/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1782533390947423465&amp;postID=977669691074913937&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1782533390947423465/posts/default/977669691074913937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1782533390947423465/posts/default/977669691074913937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://doglippin.blogspot.com/2007/09/dabble-dabble-toil-and-babble.html' title='Dangle, Dabble, Toil and Babble:'/><author><name>auntie wee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04538407086703971358</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k-Pi3uWJ6bs/Ru6FuZ0vGqI/AAAAAAAAAPU/ni3KVXGKru8/s72-c/12.01.06+001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782533390947423465.post-5766935987940793144</id><published>2007-09-13T08:44:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T17:11:50.854-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='supercuteness - uh huh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tejas baybee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daily'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blurbified'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='saimon'/><title type='text'>His Highness:</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k-Pi3uWJ6bs/Ru6E5Z0vGpI/AAAAAAAAAPM/NU_tLgTZkkI/s1600-h/12.01.06+004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111168748831578770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k-Pi3uWJ6bs/Ru6E5Z0vGpI/AAAAAAAAAPM/NU_tLgTZkkI/s400/12.01.06+004.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; Saimon&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;I think that part of being away from friends for extended lengths of time causes you to have to make assumptions about them and their state of being. You can talk to them on the phone regularly and know about their ups and downs and you can even understand inherently that they have a tendency toward melancholia. But you sort of have to take them at their stories of being A-OK, of enjoying where they're at and what they're doing despite a tinny echo of sadness coming through the phone.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;You can be fully aware that making plans to spend some time with each other comes with a sort of unspoken disclaimer that although the plans are set, there is still a more-than-likely chance that the visiting time will not happen. You understand that and you accept that because in the back of your mind you know what they're like and you take them, quirks and all. But. When you're actually there, in the same building, at the same wedding and their eyes won't ever meet yours, and any attempt at conversation - which normally flows easily and comfortably - seems awkward and sort of painful, a lot of things start to run through your head.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;And then you see the picture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;And that one flash of light, that one click of a button, caught more unspoken understanding than you realized.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This has been sitting as a draft since, hm, the 17th. I imagine it's about time for me to drag it out, slap something down and post it. Truth be known, i have 3 of these 'drafts' just sitting there. Three separate times that i thought i had something to say but the actual act of trying to put across the nonsensical warblings that whirl through my brain became so daunting that i'd have rather clicked save and continued to perpetuate my rep as the queen of procrastination than actually herd my thoughts into one spot and try and funnel them through my fingertips.

I have a friend who is not only one the smartest people i know but is also an amazing writer. The converse is that his soul is so tortured that his 'relating to humanity' skills are fairly non-existant and he is, in general, miserable. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;But damn, he writes well.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;I returned from Montana, got resettled into my dailiness and decided that although i mean for this site to be primarily photos, i should probably include some kind of look at the verbalities of my head. Originally i'd thought that scheduling - ha! - one day a week to put across my missives would be the best and most structured way for me to go about it. Yeah. That's working well isn't it. Anyhoo, my plan is still to write once a week, but, on random days all willy nilly like. It'll be fun! Like a lottery! Woo!

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;So there we go. One 'draft' down, two more to go...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1782533390947423465-8156746439076740788?l=doglippin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://doglippin.blogspot.com/feeds/8156746439076740788/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1782533390947423465&amp;postID=8156746439076740788&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1782533390947423465/posts/default/8156746439076740788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1782533390947423465/posts/default/8156746439076740788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://doglippin.blogspot.com/2007/08/catching-up-is-hard-to-do.html' title='Catching Up Is Hard To Do:'/><author><name>auntie wee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04538407086703971358</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k-Pi3uWJ6bs/Rs21cyV_HzI/AAAAAAAAAMs/0FHbZ7O9SbM/s72-c/polson+034.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782533390947423465.post-3788733448437454396</id><published>2007-08-16T10:01:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T17:11:55.286-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daily'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='b-w'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blurbified'/><title type='text'>Incongruous:</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k-Pi3uWJ6bs/RsW4iyV_HxI/AAAAAAAAAMc/Bx72gdL100o/s1600-h/delete+115.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5099685060836007698" style="DISPLAY: block;

I had been asked about a month ago if i was available to work that day, teaching kung fu and self defense to blind kids
and i was like, sure, why not?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;We had about 12 kids in our room, each with varying degrees of sight or in the case of a couple of kids, had lost both their sight and their hearing.  We did the whole gamut; warm up, punches and kicks and then we really focused on self defense.  My main parts were the stretching and then the verbal defense.  My goal was to get them used to raising their voice so they would be heard.  I've found that a lot of young girls and even women are afraid to raise their voice - even if they're in an emergency situation.  Something to do with society's belief that women are supposed to be soft spoken and never raise their voice - but that's an entirely different soap box for an entirely different day...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;During the break we sat around, munching on fruit, talking about what their favorite movies were, whether or not they read in braille, what their favorite foods were and, the most interesting to me, what their favorite colour was.  Every single one of those kids had a favorite colour.  One young lady, who was born completely blind i believe, said her favourite colour was red.  How does she experience red?  Some of them said that they don't watch movies per se but they do listen to them, which i can understand and another - the girl whose favourite colour is red - said that she's read all the Harry Potter books (except the newest one) in braille.  Dude.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;I think my favorite part was when i escorted them to the restroom and overheard them in there:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;A1: "What are we doing?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;A2: "I don't know."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;A1: "Where's the towel dispenser?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;A2: "Go foward and a little to your left."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;A1: "Man, it's like the blind leading the blind in here..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;A2: "Ha!

One minute i'm getting zinged with an unexpected 12 hour layover in LA
only to have it turn into an awesome reunion with a friend that i haven't
seen in 10 or 12 years. One minute my car is lurching forward like it has the
dry heaves and the next minute i find an auto shop that can fix it right then*.
It seems as though every time something bad or unfortunate happens
and i start to wonder what i could have done karmically speaking to
warrant the crapiness, something fabulous happens to magically ease my pain.
A test in patience? Faith perhaps? A psychic lesson on how to deep breathe
