Time

Out of time, always out of time. Ha! I dont get tired anymore though. My time management skills are rusty and its a problem. I should carry a watch. Time and money are curses.
I have a lot to say until I get on here. My back is still getting better. I can do push-ups again but still no sit-ups. A few more days I think.
I got the punching bag and have been practicing, getting better.
Oh man, that jump rope... I despise that thing. I just cant do it. I try and try and try and just cant make any progress. Oh I get so frustrated. I cant figure it out. Burn them all. I'm done with it here. I'll stumble it up at the dojo when they make me do it, but thats it man.
I really like the jiu-jitsu book. The art was developed for small people to be able to protect themselves from bigger, stronger, and more aggressive opponents. The strategy is pretty strait foward; when and where possible, close the space between you and them quick to avoid damage. Clench and go to the ground ending up in a dominate position then go for the submission. It fits in very well with Ninjutsu.
I havent said much about the spiritual side of ninjutsu; there is a lot of it. I'm a Christian and the philosophy of to-shin do ninjutsu helps fill in the blanks for me. I love the people that can "turn the other cheek" but I'm not one of them. However, I vow to defend them.
I'm looking into getting a tattoo. I dont like to wear jewelry, not even a wedding ring. I went here http://www.pandorasboxtat2.com/todd.html today and priced a tattoo of a wedding ring.
I think I may get it this evening. I've always wanted one on my butt that says, "Your Name". Man thats funny to me.
Well, the kids are home so I'm off. Stay well!
