An interesting weekend...

Well I'm back in town, alive and safe from what I would call an interesting adventure. As explained before I had this road trip to Sacto, and I have to admit that it was full of surprises.

First of all I wasn't even able to play any capoeira 'cos when we got there they were finishing(hhmmm...). Literally as I was walking in the door they were thanking everyone for showing up, and so I didn't even see any action. The funny thing was that I ran into someone I really wasn't expecting to run into. Person 'X', as I will call it(hehe, I just love the secrecy), is the one person which I truly thought was out of my life forever because of events in the past.

But alas, after nearly a year of absence this person showed up again. Now don't get me wrong I don't have anything against X, on the contrary I can say that X is probably the one person which I am more comfortable being around. The only problem being that although we might look really great together, we are just not meant to be. Wait I think they have a phrase describing our situation... uuuummm yeah that's it 'platonic love'.

But it's ok, at least I got to spend the weekend with X and I had a great time. Sure we had our ups and downs, but you know other than that deep down I felt really happy to be around X one more time. Now the only thing is that, and I knew this was gonna happend, I got X inside my head and it's kinda bothersome since given the situation it just sucks.

An interesting weekend indeed...

The end of the real world for me...

Yep that's how it starts(or ends for that matter), buying World of Warcraft and after that everything is history... So far I've been hooked on it, and it's only been one day!!!

Friday since I wasn't feeling good I decided to stay home and not go to train and WHAM! I installed the game and decided to play in like there was no Saturday. I love it!!!

So far I got my Night Elf Hunter, up to level 11 and it looks like it's gonna become a bad mofo!!

Oh yeah!

I started up in the little elven island of Teldrassil, just north of the continent of Kalimdor(Ok! Just follow me on this one). Ever since I joined the server it has been non stop fun, killing monsters, helping other players, getting new quest and learning new abilities... Ack! I gotta keep this intro really short thought, I'm almost out of here as I'm heading to Sacramento on this capoeira road trip.

First stop Davis, then Sacramento for the grand opening of the Sacramento Capoeira Arts Academy's (Capoeira Agua de Beber - UCA). Gonna be fun, soooo I'll write more when I get back!

Oh woe me...

This sucks...

I was finally happy to be training and all, leaving the injuries behind and all, and just when i was feeling comfortable I land ackwardly on my right hand and dislocate my pinky... =o(

This sucks, one injury after the other... (sigh!) Will this shit ever end???

?

Oh well... bring out the ice pack, the tape and a splinter if I have one, 'cos it looks like I'm gonna have to patch up myself yet again.... ~=o/

I got some new capoeira songs, hopefully tomorrow(I mean today) I'll post them up since it's my free day...

!

Ooooppppssss... my bad...

I hate it when something like this goes down... It's a normal conversation when suddenly something slips out and BAM! That's it game over, try again...

That's why I prefer to just keep quiet, 'cos sometimes I just never know when to keep it shut. Man, now I got more problems I have to figure out... This Sunday has definitely sucked ass, and it appears as the entire week ahead is gonna be somewhat the same...

For some reason I feel like a lot of issues have been popin' up lately. I mean it's one thing to have issues, but it's another when they all just come down crashing on you. I dunno things have changed lately... Things used to be so mellow before, but suddenly in the past couple of months things have just been kinda going downhill slowly.

I dunno I'm just airing things out right now. Even though I'm not exactly pointing to the problem right now('cos I dunno what's the main problem), I'm just trying to convince myself that by pointing out that there's a problem everything will be alright... As usual just dancing around the fire..

The week so far...

Ok so this is how it has been lately:

  • Two computers fixed...
  • Working since Saturday with kids...
  • Just realized I'm pretty much broke...
  • Fighting flu-like symptoms(I will not lose!!!)...
  • Haven't been resting very much(too much stuff to do!)
  • Haven't been eating too well(only dinner on most days)
  • Having doubts about myself(although this one has been almost resolved)
  • Realized V-day is coming which means that I haven't had a date in a long ass time(hhhmmm... no comment on this one)...
  • Elbow's feeling better...
  • Finally: Realized that I still got four more days of work ahead and I'm pretty much dead right now!

Yep that's how it has been...

At ease...

Yep, as you read above, I'm feeling at ease with myself lately. I am pretty happy that I have been back on the training train. Body is sore from class and it feels great. Probably I should take it a little bit easier on the knee but for now it feels like it's ok.

The elbow is a bit sore as well but it's not too bad. I think that within the next week to week and a half it will be 100%, in the meantime I'm just happy that I can do movements on it and it doesn't hurt that much. Now all I have to do is work on my stamina, and get my reaction time a little bit quicker and the read to recovery will be complete.

Now the only thing is that I hope no more injuries show up in the next couple of months since it's that time of the year when events start all around the place. Hell, our event is coming as well and I gotta get ready. I think that's mainly the reason as to why I'm starting to train hard core again. All I need is to keep healthy!!!

=oD

It feels good to be back(even though I'm sore as hell!)

What was I gonna write about???

As I sit here in front of the computer I'm pondering on what the hell I was gonna write...

hhhmmm...

See the thing was I was on one of those pondering moods in which I like to share all that I'm thinking, but the cable was down and thus I didn't have any access to the internet whatsoever. Anyhow to make a long story short, I left the writing for later and now that I'm online I can't remember what the hell I was gonna type... hhhhhmmmm...

I guess the mood's gone by now... oh well...

=oP

Anyways I got to teach the new group of kids today and the school and it went great. It's a small group, and all of the are focused on the task and I think this group might learn a lot more than the two previous ones. Not only 'cos the are quick learners(not to put the other groups down since the have all learned quick), but also because they have seen what capoeira is and that helps a lot. They pretty much know what to expect in a way and are looking forward to learn it.
I'm happy with the kids...

On another note, the arm appears to be slowly coming along. Today I was able to do an au and it didn't hurt, so I also attempted a handstand and it was ok. Now I still can't bend it all the way up but I have recovered much of the movement on it, that makes me happy.

It's a good thing since I have the habit of getting moody when I'm injured. Recently I've been analyzing this and I dunno, I guess it's my own way to relieve the frustration of the situation at hand, and I know it's not the best way, but for me it seems to be the most effective way. It's wrong thought and I have to find a way to relieve that frustration in a different way...

hhhhhmmm...

Let's see how??? uuuuummmm... any ideas???

=oj

Count to ten??? nah it doesn't work...
Deep breath??? nope...
Ice cream??? maybe...
hhhmmm... I give up!

Oh well, either way I gotta find another way.

=oP

Record of Lodoss War OVA Marathon!

That's right... It's Tuesday, off day for some ppl(like me!!!), and since I can't do smack(arm and knee all messed up) I decided to pull off a six-hour anime marathon.

The title:

One of my favorite anime of all time which I was able to get... YAY!!! You know I must love it to pull off a SIX hour marathon.

Also I feel like I'm getting sick. Sore throat, a little bit of coughin, and light headed...
