I've Decided To Retire My BlogNo great surprise as over the past year I've really not paid attention to making posts. Life changes, forcing one to make decisions on what's really important. Also one starts to realize that time is precious and not to be wasted. So most of my free time these days are spent on my family and myself. For my family, things like helping with school science projects

Tsunami Politics On one of the forums I occasionally read (surprisingly not a martial arts forum) someone had asked if anyone heard about Hollywood responding to the tsunami crisis. While I'm trying to avoid all the politics around the Tsunami crisis (like the local stupid conversative talk radio idiots of late)this was an interesting article that I thought I would post. Also to be fair at

Yang - Arguing with the Blockbuster Guy about how you returned your movie in time, and not a month later like the "computer" says.

Tsunami Relief Organizations With the death count at 120,000+ due to the Tsunami in South East Asia, it truly is worth re-posting what I wrote on a couple of different martial arts forums.

Vacation Time Taking a couple of days off so it gives me time, which is a gift in itself. I'm spending it on BaGua, running, and hanging out with the family. And movies. Napoleon Dynamite Actors: Some curly head guy. Lots of people I don't know My random thoughts: Quirky film. Funny. Make sure to watch to the end of the credits to see the end of the film. Worth a rental. (Out of 5 Stars)

Nerd Movie Review Ok, like a bunch of blogs out there, I'll start throwing my movie reviews out there. Not original, but it's my blog so there. I, Robot Actors: Will Smith, Tom Brady's Girlfriend Bridget something. My random thoughts: Will Smith has been working out. Robots shouldn't be built with human expressive type faces (freaky!)

Willie Wonka Trailer Sigh. Another classic that is undergoing a remake. More evidence that there truly is no creativity in Hollywood - or more specifically the suits in corporate have no balls to take a chance on something new. If it doesn't make millions in the first week, it's a failure. Corporate losers. Anyway, make sure your on your drugs when you watch this. Really. http://

Martial Arts History - Part One Hmmm. I claim martial arts on my profile, but I haven't written anything about them in a while. Time to start from the beginning. My background? I'm the old guy you find in the martial arts schools where all the young guys wonder "what's he's doing here?" Without stroking my own ego, luckily I can still mop the floor up with these youngsters. First of all, I

Pedro Martinez Because I'm from New England and grew up watching the Red Sox I'm forced to comment on Pedro Martinez signing with the New York Mets. You can plug his name into Google News if you need the details on this signing. I'm far from the expert on the how, why, when, etc. when it comes to these things. I leave that to sports radio and the TV commentators. I will say though that I am

Mr. and Mrs. Smith Angelina Jolie. Brad Pitt. Did I mention Angelina Jolie? New film coming out in Summer 2005. They play assassins who are married, but just so happen not to know each other is an assassin. Reminds me of Grosse Point Blank with John Cusack and Minnie Driver. But that's ok. I like spy and assassin films, and this one doesn't look too bad. Did I mention that it has Angelina

And it can work the other way around as well. Anyhow, hiccup at work happens and causes lots of meetings and review of systems. Lots of stress placed on a lot of people. Not too much fun.

And in between enjoyed chatting with my family. No huge

Two, in the martial arts the headshot is always a good one

So I'll add to the insanity by adding these: Party Platforms Ever wonder about the history and ideals of some of the politicals parties? No? Well too bad.

Hey! I have a Blog! It's been 3 months since my last entry. For a while I was going to announce retiring this blog, knowing that I haven't kept at it for a long time. But I've changed my mind for now. First of all, congratulations to the Red Sox for winning the World Series! More importantly they did it by coming back on the Yankees from that 3 - 0 deficit. Thanks Red Sox for the lack of

No Time For a Good Update Survived the BaGua seminars and camp. I'll post a report in a few days. I'm about to take off for vacation, but I thought I'd leave you this cool picture game.

I've been doing this stuff for 20+ years so I'm not changing any habits now. The first week is a series of seminars in Boston. The following week is a series of seminars in Maryland. Then the

My Old Ways - Too Casual Dress I'm sorry, but today I'm required to write my thoughts about young folks (20's) and their concept of "casual dress". Yeah, this post will express my age, but guess what? Some things need to said, so that the younger generation will learn. Today walking down the hall (by the way I work for a bank) I spied a guy coming towards me. Upon closer inspection he had

Preparing for Luo Laoshi's annual visit to Boston which will happen in a couple of days. The great thing about this annual visit is renewing ties with my long distance kung fu brothers and sisters.

What Have I Been Doing Lately? In reality, not much. Just doing life, man. I finished my patio some time ago. Not a perfect job, but good for a guy who sits in an office and never really laid out a patio before. So thumbs up for me! No vacations, just work. All my free time has been spent training on BaGua Zhang, in order to prepare for Luo Laoshi's visit in Boston in a couple of weeks.

Arrrrgh! Mondays are bad. Systems crashing on Mondays are bad. Going to a DR mode on Mondays are bad. Working way, way too late on a Monday because of a system crash is bad. Finally going home is good. Sleeping 4 hours and coming back to work is bad. 2 days later finally getting a chance to workout via BaGua Zhang is good. Peace.

Super Bowl Half Time Comments For once the actual Super Bowl game was more interesting than the commercials or the stupid "entertainment" shows around it. So of course the half time show has to upstage it. That was the stupidest half time show ever. Video clips of celebs saying "choose to vote", "choose life", etc. Then that stupid half twit Jessica Simpson comes out with "Choooose to Party!"

Random Words Strung Together Poor neglected blog. How I have abandoned ye! Some non-related thoughts tonight: 1. It sucks when the whole family is sick. Blah. 2. Star Trek: Enterprise really bites. 3. I need to practice my BaGua more. See number one on what's preventing me. 4. Is Britney Spears the dumbest person on the face of the earth? Or the smartest? Nah, the most pathetic. 5.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Remember starting today you need to write 2004 on your checks. To me. :-) Quiet New Year's Eve for the Bladeblog family. Once you have a kid(s) your options are limited. Nice to spend a quiet evening at home though. If you consider spending a quiet New Year's Eve cranking on Need for Speed Underground, then it was quiet. Mmmm... Need for Speed Underground, Mexican

Return of the King ROCKS I was going to write a bunch of short notes about what's been happening and such in my life. But after watching Return of the King, who really cares? Summary Review: It is incredible. If you liked the first two LOTR films, you will love this one. Just go. You know it is good. SPOILERS BELOW. SPOILERS BELOW. BELOW THERE ARE SPOILERS.

Cat Update 1. The cat is a boy cat, not a girl cat. The wiener is the big clue. No, it's not that we couldn't tell the difference between boy and girl cats. The girl cat that Mrs. Blog wanted got adopted by the time she got to the Boston Animal Rescue League. So wandering around, she fell in love with the new boy cat. He's a nice cat. 2. Sophie (our current cat) and the new cat like

Sad Blog Oh blog, I haven't abandoned ye... Sorry, life still is a bit busy, and the holidays aren't helping. Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year! (In case I don't get to blog for another month). On a side note it looks like we're getting another cat. Mrs. Blog wants one for her own, in addition to Blog Jr.'s. And it will be another girl cat. Hmmm, too much estrogen in my house of

Bad Day Hey, I finally remembered that I have a blog. Funny how the memory goes when you get older. It was a bad day today at work because as usual, our department has to come to the rescue of another department. Their poor planning forces us to scrambling to save their asses. And as usual we'll get no credit for it. I don't know how many times we've pulled people's butts out of the fire.

Hi, Super Nintendo Chalmers! It's Monday, and like any Monday it sucked. The weekend was too short. The work too much. Lunch not good. Do not mix lemonade, industrial tomato meat sauce and past. All I'll say is the word, "Gassy". The only thing that can make Monday better is some martial arts clips. :-) First here are some clips showing Tai Chi applications. Yes, you read that right,

Post Red Sox Blues Yep, the life of a Red Sox fan truly sucks. The only comfort I can think of is that there are Chicago Cub fans who know how Red Sox fans feel. As with everyone else in New England, the question falls to why did Grady leave Pedro in? Why did he allow Pedro to make the decision on if he should stay in? The job of the manager is to make decisions for the players. Guess what,

Frustrated Running Blog... My Red Sox Thoughts... w/game 7 at 5 - 5. Arrrgh! 11:14 PM - Why pull Embree? 11:15 PM - That Budweiser "Wingman" commercial is great. Mike Timlin better not blow it for the Red Sox, though I think Pedro may have done that already. 11:17 PM - The infamous forced walk. Let's see what happens with that. Pinch runner. Never good. 11:19 PM - Arrgh! Why am I thinking

This is a separate after-school program). She started it today and so far really likes it. ...Blog Jr. is sick. No surprise. School is in session, colds and flu are going about. Another

326,046.41 Yen Yep. That's what someone paid for 2 bleacher seats for this Saturday's Red Sox/Yankees' playoff game. Hey I like the Red Sox too but my wife would KILL ME if I told her I just dropped $3,000 on two tickets (IN THE BLEACHERS). Keep that in mind when you see the schmoes in the crowd. Go Sox!

Weekend Update Hmmm, can't remember much about Friday. Oh yeah, now I remember... Friday (Apres Work) - Brought Blog Jr. out to dinner, as Mrs. Blog was going out with some of her friends. Blog Jr. and I went out to Friday's. Her choice. She thought it was the funniest thing to go out to Friday's on a Friday night. Not much to write about Friday's - same decor, same food.

Boston Red Sox Playoffs Someone explain to me why on Wednesday the playoff game starts at 10:00 PM? In reality the game won't start till 10:30 or 11:00 because of ceremony? Explain to me how kids are suppose to watch the game? You can't tape it - everyone will be talking about it the next day. Also game 2 starts at 4:00 PM the next day so kids can't even get home to watch a taped game.

Oink Fitness workout update: Well, the yoga program lasted about a week. I wasn't enjoying doing yoga at 5:30 AM. While I learned some really good body stretches, it didn't seem to work my body the way I wanted to. I would need to really attend some classes, but at this time in my life I really can't devote time to learn yoga (in addition to working, keeping up a house, having a family,

Just Different Things These Past Couple of Daze Ran into my blog mentor at a store yesterday. Like good sons, he was last minute shopping for a birthday gift for his mom's birthday.
