Going back to the roots
January 07, 2008
Happy new year!
Today I must feel what I use to feel, say 20 years ago. Today is the first day of school! That’s right I am going back to school. I am beginning a Japanese course today and hopefully I’ll do that for a few months, barring sudden changes in plans. The classes only run about half the day so I’ll still have time to do other things.
I have good things in sight this year. Last year really sucked ass for me and many others and I hope this year will be better. It’s already off to a great start – I’m not longer under the psychological corporate shackles and am enjoying the freedom! We have plans already this year and they’re off to a good start.
Take right now for instance. I woke up at a reasonable time: 7:30. I made fresh coffee! I have time to check my email and write in my blog for the first time this year! In that job last year, I woke up at an ungodly 5:30, was too sleepy or too rushed to have anything but rotten instant coffee, and couldn’t type a sentence because my fingers had not yet risen from slumber. Ahhh. Good times.
I recently started taking up wing chun kung fu again. It’s great! It’s been about 12 years since I actively practiced and I suck ass. It’s great and I’m back in fairly constant training and conditioning at home right now.
That’s it! I just had this sudden yearning to write here and I have. Christmas was good, New Year’s was good, it’s all good!
