Hello so I notice in my family a lot of changes since I moved out. The most obvious change for me was how I started to take care of myself, and eating healthier, and not worrying about what my parents might be going through. I have also seen my parents change and react in complete opposite ways in how I thought they would act. They seem to be talking to each other more, and they are even eating healthier.
It seems me moving out was the best decision for all of us. I am on a new path of improvement. It's seems to be a short blog today, but that might be because I am out of practice. I will be making more for sure to come, and gain back some of my blogging ability.

Taking Action
Hello it's been awhile. I decided to take my own advice and take action and blog. Since I have been slowly improving my life. Eating healthier, working out more, and trying to do more kung fu; so I thought I may as well bring back blogging into my life. I know blogging has got me through a lot of tough times and let me reflect on the positives in my life. SO since it had been awhile here are somethings that I would like to say but have not since I was not blogging.
I got to do my first live drumming lion dance. I was super nervous yet excited at the same time. It was so much fun. I realized later that I had position the drum right behind the lion so it was really hard to see when he was doing the blinking, but I think it was not so bad. That was a really great day.
I have been on this new eating plan that my landlord put me on. A lot of the things he talks about correlates to what kung fu teaches and is about. He pretty much said the success is depends on you, you have to be the one responsible to eat healthy and sticking to it. Just like in kung fu they can show you a form, and even improve upon it, but they can't force you to train and practice on your own. You have to be disciplined. If you work hard there will be results.
I have been enjoying living on my own lately and I have been cooking a lot for myself and enjoying the outcome when one of the dishes I make turns out well. Like today I experimented with making a cauliflower pizza crust today. It turned out pretty tasty it was a bit of work, but worth it. super tasty. The recipe told me it was good for six, but it is good for six gerbils maybe. I'm going to double the recipe next time.

Last Night
Hey everyone. There has been a lot happen in my life lately. Right now I'm writing my last blog and having my last night living with my parents. I have found a new place for myself to live in and I will finally be on my own. I should be feeling excited, but I couldn't be feeling further away from it. I feel scared, sad, worried, and I'm gonna miss living with my parents a lot. I'm mainly sad right now. I know moving out for me will have a lot of benefits and it is something that I know I need, but there is a part of me that wants to just call it off. I'm not, because it would cost me a lot of money to do so. I mainly sad about leaving my parents and just being by myself. I can take care of myself, I'm just worried mentally how I will deal with it and also I don't want to fail. It seems like I am moving so far away to the point that I will never see them again, but in reality I'm gonna be a simple 10 min drive from them. I know I will still see them on Fridays at least, or whenever I want, but I'm just feel hesitant.
Right now I am starting a new journey into my life and I'm freaked out. It is a necessary journey though and I know I will grow from it. Just need a bit of time.

I'M BACK!
Hello long time no see. So today for me was a pretty great day. I got to see and participate in the rotary run lion dance; which was amazing. Also I got to experience my first ever hunting for a place for myself today, and oh boy what a rush it was for me. I swear it was like I just jumped out of a plane. Just talking to this person and finally seriously I might be able to live on my own for once. I love my parents for everything they have done for me, and appreciate them for the best life they could give me. I know I will definitely miss having amazing tasty food to eat all the time. I just know right now that I need to be on my own and start developing my own life right now. I feel like I have been stalling for so long now because I always thought I would save up enough money to put a nice down payment onto a house someday, but life keeps happening and I am tired of waiting for life to work out. I am going to make it work for me. .
Thats all for now I am super tired and have to go to bed. Hopefully to see you all next week.

Fights
So this blog will just be about my experience in fights and what I think in my opinion is best for if you have no other choice but to fight. Now I know in kung fu we do teach some nasty ways to take your opponent down, and other times to incapacitate them, but fights are never so logical. Mainly because of a few reasons. For one what if you panic and forget what to do, what if your opponent is a really good fighter, or what are you fighting for? Your life? your Family? or just a scuffle?
I have been in a lot of fights growing up; not because I wanted to, but I had no other choice. In my case I was just fighting bullies; so nothing life threatening. Once I had to start fighting; my adrenaline spiked really high and the whole fight became like slow motion for me. I was actually calm and went into the mind set of "they might be stronger then me, a better fighter then me, but I can guarantee you I am gonna win" Right off the hop I already through out the window of what most people make a mistake in and that is underestimating your opponent. If you do that your morale will go down if you find out they are stronger or better. All that matters is that you come out on top.
Now another thing I did was not hold back in a fight. That to me was another mistake a lot of people make when in a fight. You hold back your power, because you think you have delivered enough damage, but then they get back up seemingly unscathed and then your morale will go down and you might have already of lost the will to fight and then you lose. Never hold back I know this might be more situational, but I believe this to be the better of the two(holding back vs not holding back)
The last thing I did was I also had the mind set of not wanting to hurt my opponent. This sounds contradictory to everything I have said. Even knowing these people who made my life hell for years. I still did not want to hurt them, nor did I want to fight them. My goal and intent was to win as fast as possible and report to the right people to stop this madness and to cause minimal damage. I never punch anyone in the face, though many have tried on me. I Mainly hit them in the stomach whether they were standing or after I through them on the ground. After a few good kicks or punches to the stomach without holding back made them stay down and afforded me time to escape the fight. All my fights probably lasted no more than 30 to 45 seconds, but felt a lot longer than that. I never lost a fight, but I wish I never had to win one. There is a limit to how much damage you deal out, but that also depends on the thereat level. We have to use our best judgement on how to deal with an opponent. In my case these were just bullies. I can't help but to all ways think of what the other person might be going through.
I hope my insight to fighting might help someone if they ever have to fight, but honestly I hope no one ever has to. I hope that none of us is ever put into a situation where they might have to fight for their lives, or family's. I know I have the resolve to take a fight to the next level dependent on the situation, but as a last resort, no other option, it is me or them. I choose me.
You know being a fighter or a warrior sounds so simple. There are a few rules to follow and done, but to live and great and happy life is much harder to do. I believe our school helps you to be able to defend yourself, but most importantly helps us to understand the best way to live.

Family talks
Hello so my family went through a bit of a rough patch this Saturday. Some things were said and some things were put into motion to heal. I am sorry for the not being specific, but this is not just my problem. I know I am talking about it sort of on here, but I just need to release a little but. So I blog. I can say right now that we are all doing good right now and we are slowly moving forwards onto the next step. I will say my Saturday was a long one, but we are a closer family because of it.
Well that's all I really can write about that. I'm sorry for missing the demo, I thought it was next week; I should of double checked. For the meeting well that was the whole family thing; so sorry for missing that as well, but we had to figure things out and could not just up and leave. I hope the demo was amazing and everyone had a great time.
You know I did get to learn a lot this weekend. I learned what my parents go through and what I am capable of accomplishing through calm speech and logical thinking. I think the whole remain calm when there is panic has a lot of merit to it. Now maybe some say well yeah of course remain calm, easy answer, but how many have to put it into practice. Instead of stressing over a job remain calm and figure out if you can do better, or do you need to move on, or come up with a way to cope with it better. It is really hard to figure stuff out when you are stressed. Again sounds like common sense, but how many people put it to practice.
Kung fu teaches us about having the ability to stay calm and to have patience, because through hard work and progressing wisely we will get to our goals eventually. We all have the potential to become what ever we want and do great and immeasurable things. From becoming a kung fu master, or just being a good person, or being a great doctor, or being the best parent. These to me are just some things we all have the potential to become and all of these things are amazing achievements. I believe I have the potential one day to become the best electrician out there. I wish I could say parent too, but kinda need to start with a girlfriend first. I want to be a really good martial artist.
So that's the rant for now have a good one.
