What's on your mind right now?

Post Reply New Topic

The light bulb in the bathroom just gave out with a sharp crack as if it exploded.

I was startled. At the same time the part of me that is exhausted went from verge of passing out to wide awake.

What the heck??

If this is a short term remedy for exhaustion, I'll keep that in mind. If not well.....

That's really ambitious. I like your later idea of short stories. I have a tough time writing stories about myself though. I feel inhibited, and I'm like, my life seems so ordinary, not worth writing about, to me. But other people find it interesting at times.


That's one exhaustion remedy I'd rather skip. And wow, 33 hours of straight socializing? That's pretty amazing, so I'm baffled by the fact that you hadn't crashed yet, as of the writing of this post. Maybe you're sound asleep by now.



What do you value most in a martial art then?

Thank you. I did indeed find a way to write that caters to the way my mind works (particularly my OCD) - I just make sure every chapter is exactly 100 words. No more, no less. Using this method I have had a very productive night - I wrote 500 words total. I want to be especially ambitious and write a 50,000 word novel like this, but I know that stories have a way of telling you when they're finished, so I don't mind if it wraps up before the big 50,000 milestone (which, in all likelihood, it probably will.)

I didn't get that far, but I remember when Jessie and James released Arbok and Weezing so they could get some Ekans and Koffing away from a bad poacher. Surprisingly heroic of Team Rocket and a sad moment as well.

I was at home 2 days ago. And posted on the next day. I really did fell asleep once I got home.

Why 33 hours? Let's see..
Let's just say the best accommodation that one gave me would be the lack of bias or assumptions. Or certain expectations. So I could go all out without holding myself back.

The rest isn't -- words are just as unnatural, the seminar is mostly on dictation (there were plenty of sign language interpreters though). My seat is where the coldest is, and I have a specific weakness for cold.
Its a peer counseling, so interaction is a must. It's mostly verbal. And there were, like, only less than 3 diagrams and are all in just one topic.

While I do not hold back, I literally gave my all since I enjoyed too much that I forgot to take a break.
Other factor on this, it's because I rarely ever need a break. Therefore, I'm not used to having the need to take a break. And it's been a long time since the last time I ever got exhausted.

On top of that, I 'maintained' 2 groups that event -- first group consists of seniors and veterans, then the other first timer like myself. Second group is the roommates consists of females and are ages 19-27.

So first group's with me during breakfast and halfway during the course of the seminar.
Second group after the seminar, then all the way through the rest of the day and night. Sometime at night, that's when I start having signs...
We didn't slept until, like, 1AM.
And we woke up at 3AM. We were the first to get up.

Then the first group again at breakfast. Then switch in between throughout the morning until the seminar.
I was still enjoying myself bugging either or both of them, but at the same time struggling to keep up with my own mind, body, and emotion.

At my hard limit, I tried to go minimal and go passive. But it's too late to control myself then.
I cried a bit. Because I have to get away because I'm tired, but I still want to to go to them. And because I was seeing them from a distance, in more ways than one, for various reasons mostly reasons that anyone there couldn't understand.

When we go home, we rode in groups. So I was still bugging someone on my way home.

But I was so sick, and I could barely have a semblance of control, I ended up vomiting.

My stomach still hurts. But I'm sure I didn't ate anything bad or anything I wouldn't eat. Nor did something after eating, nor ate too little or too much.

And right now, I'm still exhausted. But my mind and body wouldn't let me.

By the way, the 'remedy' is just temporary. Which I found out by now.

the music and atmosphere of this old game is creepy in a good way. i never played it bu i feel that played it before but i have never played it although i feel that i played it, but no, i never played it.

That makes sense, disability conferences are supposed to be empowering and not make assumptions about what people can and can't do.



Meeting rooms are often cold, that sucks. How did you feel about the rest of it, the format you describe here?



That'd be challenging for a visual thinker.



Wow, so you get so involved in stuff, even for hours and hours, and then the need for a break eventually crashes down on you. And you had quite a few groups to give that energy to.



Yeah, I'm sure! That's not much sleep at all, and that was your only break. Yikes! I can see why you'd be struggling with your mind and emotions, as you put it.



So, enjoying yourself on the one hand, breaking down on the other. It was all too much. How did your other roommates react? Crying? Falling asleep in class and on the ride home?

Sorry you got so sick, on top of being exhausted. I hope you feel better soon.

there are enough self defense studios in the united states that teach the devoted youthful athlete to defend themselves or play hero for others, but too few that teach an effective art form to those that are most likely to be targeted for assault. the reason for leaving the former studio was that they took in students for an art that is only effective for the most resilient and athletic, and were teaching dangerous false confidence to majority those that were neither.

wing chun, an infighting system, is admired for it’s capacity to teach most regardless of age, physique, stature, vitality, or sex to efficiently fend off a much larger opponent that’s too close for comfort through safe/economical movements that utilize the entire body to defend and attack simultaneously, evasions, deflections(blocking a strike is a horrible idea... a block is a strike, so such a strike from a smaller defender against a strike from a larger aggressor, only multiplies the impact, and the result is likely a broken limb for the smaller.), and sensing the opponent rather than learning a hundred and one different elaborate techniques that fly out the window upon facing conflict because an aggressive opponent never stands still like a board to be broken. advanced practitioners of wing chun have been known to even practice with others while blindfolded to no loss of effectiveness... which considering there is an inner sense of balance, and a conflicting outer balance that is seen with the eyes, it’s more impressive than such might sound(if one balances upon one leg with eyes open, and then closes their eyes, they will fall over shortly if not to cultivate a physical awareness of the inner balance with eyes open because the two senses of balance aren’t naturally in alignment. another art, taijiquan touches upon this concept as a way of throwing an aggressor off balance in holding superior balance, the inner balance).

personal aspiration is to learn a few arts that instill similar admiration to teaching proficiency to be able to teach to people of different types for use of defending themselves or/and cherished lives. there is also a desire to go back to school to learn as much about the mechanics of the body so that physical limitations could be worked around to tailor arts suitable to the individual.

I need to get back into my art...crochet, jewelry making, painting, and drawing. I miss it, and if I'm going to just wait until school starts in fall and forgo the summer job idea, I need to do something to keep busy.

Thank you, Sweet Pea.

You're welcome, Schultz. Say hi to Cacnea for me!

Last day of Fanime for me before Anime Expo in L.A. in a month.

My cat has been sitting on my desk for several minutes now, silently watching the screen as I scroll it up and down.
Oh, he just left.

let him watch some sexy cats mating on youtube or something, he will never leave
