Hello everyone I tried some Pineapple today and I thought I was gonna really hate it, but it was okay. And Blog done.....
Ha Ha I wonder How that would go If I actually ended it there. Anyways it was not so bad I thought I was gonna gag a lot. Since that was what I did last time I tried it, but I did have to walk around a lot and made a lot of faces of disgust. So I guess I don't completely hate Pineapple anymore, but still not my favorite.
Now the reason why I am trying to eat Pineapple now is I have been told there is a lot of good property's in Pineapple's that could help with my shoulders. As of right now I am trying to do anything to help my shoulders get better.
This Tree festival by the way was absolutely amazing. Everyone was truly amazing to watch and I would have actually been a little sad that day as well. Because for me not participating in demos, lion, or even Dragon dancing. I miss all of those things, but my shoulders tell me no if you participate you will become more injured and will be benched longer. So I listen do my shoulders, but that day was amazing for me not only because of how well everyone else did, but also what Sifu Brinker gave me the opportunity to be engaged and more involved. By letting me drum with him and help me practice on drumming. I would like to become a Silent River Kung Fu drummer one day, and be good enough to be at performances as a drummer. I must say I always think that I Ho Chaun can't surprise me anymore; after the many years I have be in it, but rest assured it always does. Which is a huge reason to why I always rejoin year after year. Next blog will be posted on December 4, Sunday
So remember everyone stay extraordinary.

Dealing with Rudeness
Hello everyone I would like to talk a little about how I deal with other peoples bad days released upon me. Now whenever someone does something rude to me; I might in the initial moment be very upset with them. But I eventually disperse any angry I have for them or resentment. I start thinking what they might be going through to act the way they are treating me. Did something go wrong in their day? are they really trying to actually make me mad intentionally? Maybe I did do something that was my fault and did not realize it.
Just so you know I do stand up for myself if it is really them trying to demean me. I won't put up with it, but before I go to that stage I think of the consequences that will happen after I take action. Will it solve anything if I reduce myself to there level? Is it worth my time to ruin my whole day, because they were rude to me? Most of the time I think not, but I can't lie that it does feel good when you release how your feeling instead of calming down. Then I think Maybe that is what they are doing, but does not give the person the right to be rude to a complete stranger, but I see there side.
In all reality I apply this to a lot of situations I am in mainly because I think it helps me empathized what they might be going through. Again this does not excuse there behavior, just lets me understand it without knowing anything about them. Some might actually be rude on purpose because they really are a horrible person, but even then I still think maybe they had it rough growing up, or something like that.
Anyways that is just what I like to think about before I retaliated; I think of all of these things and then just move on with my life. I sometimes hope that after the person was rude to me that there day gets better and then they might feel a bit guilty in what they did to me, but that is just one scenario. I won't tell you about the honey badgers with lasers on there head :)

My Monkey Journey
Hello everyone I am here again to blog! I guess this will be how my year has gone so far.Well every year I think my year never goes the way I expected it to go; this year is no exception.
I started the year with bad shoulders and was not able to do normal forms, but I created a weapons form that almost has no shoulder movement in it. Then eventually my shoulders got so bad that I no longer could do any forms properly. The closes thing I get to using full motion in my arms is tai chi form; even then I can't do that long until I start feeling pain again in both shoulders.
Also I think mentally I had a really low point and was feeling really down. I sometimes get really depressed and I just stop functioning. With my injury's in my shoulders it was playing a heavy weight on me. I was almost completely defeated, but I still participated and continued breathing.
Now I got all the bad stuff out of the way let me tell you how absolutely amazing I am doing now. I still have sucky shoulders, but I found myself a miracle. Intent to chi. That one black belt class really helped me improve mentally and I would like to think physically. I got to think completely different way of doing my forms, because it was the only way for me to do any. Intent to chi really got me thinking of how I move my body, and where my power is going and coming from, and what is my actual intent behind all the moves I do in my forms. If I throw a punch and have no intent to do anything with it; will it still do anything? well technically yes with F =MxA and all, but it will not accomplish a whole lot. Once I apply my intent to my chi though it become a whole another ball game.
Also right now I would say I am doing really good right now in life, because I have a career that I love, surrounded by amazing people. So all I need right now to make it even better for me would be a girlfriend :)
Well I guess that is everything now so my next blog be uploaded on November 20, Sunday.

Guity
Hello everyone I just want to talk about guilt. Whenever I feel guilty I pull back and don't want to face it. Like feeling guilty for not blogging or not being able to do my kung fu properly. I feel like I let myself down when I do this. I know the easy fix is to just do it and give it my all, and be ok with how far I can currently push myself.
I believe I can do more for myself and everyone around me. I will say my battle with my shoulders are a hard thing for me to accept. I make some progress then fall backwards do to my work; if I start trying to do modified work I could lose my job. It is a vicious circle I am in right now. It is not like my job does not like me, but if I am on modified for to long I could possibly be laid off so someone else can do it. I am easily replaced.
I will make a actual effort to continue to blog, and stay responsible for myself and my actions. I will start promising in my blogs when the next blog will be posted in an effort to hold myself more accountable. I know I technically have already made a promise to blog weekly, but I need to say the words for myself. I will blog November 13 Sunday.
Well that is all for now so remember everyone stay extraordinary.
