New Year of Promise

Hello everyone this is my test to see if I can write a blog on my phone. So I can keep blogging every Sunday while on my trip in Japan.
  Anyways I am really looking forward to this year and to see what new a great things we will get to experience. I will be starting my year off with a big trip to Japan. So I will be seeing all of you in March.
  Also our banquet once again was truly amazing. Congratulations to all the new black belts, and congrats to my fellow black belt on getting your next degree.
 Well that's all for now so remember everyone stay extraordinary.

Anticipation

Hello everyone just want to say real quick I had a blast at the ging wu banquet. Once again what an amazing experience to be apart of. After seeing there banquet it got me fired up for our own. Speaking of that I am starting to feel like when I was a kid waiting for Christmas morning to come. Waking up early so I could open up my presents and eat great food, and spend some time with my family. As I have gotten older I became less like that for my Christmases now, but I still enjoy them. Our banquets every year inspire me to do more with my life. Heck it even inspired me to rejoin Kung fu after I quit for 3 years.
  Now I won't lie that is not the only thing I am looking forward to. I am also looking forward to my first time ever, by myself, real holiday in Japan. I have everything taken care of and now I wait until I leave in February. The most crazy holiday or any traveling would be when I went with my dad trucking all of the west coast of America. Now don't get me wrong I did have fun, with my dad, but I also worked whenever we unloaded or loaded the truck.So like a working vacation. Oh and I have been to the Greensboro trip as well; super awesome, learned a lot, and gained many friends, but still worked. (would love to go again).
   Anyways for me this Japan trip will be the first very independent thing I have ever done. Not counting basic living skills :) Welp that's where I end it So I will be blogging again on January 29.

Remember everyone stay extraordinary.

Successes and Failures

Hello everyone, I really started to think about this after the meeting we had; after Sifu Brinker mention it. It made me realize just truly how important failure can be.
  The great thing about failure is that there is a great abundance of it ,but success can be rare and hard to find. So once you find it appreciate it, but realize without failures success can't exist.
  Reminds me of a yin yang relationship. I know I have quite a few failures in life, but without those experiences I would not know when thing are going well in my life. Hmm I guess this is a short one, but remember everyone stay extraordinary. I promise to blog on January 22.

Nerves

Hello everyone I am getting very nervous as our monkey year comes to an end. Also with what is happening in my life right now. I feel excited that I am able to participate in the demo and perform as a lion. Also I am super nervousness about going for my black belt degree grading. I feel ready, yet not sure what will happen. Also a huge thing that has my nerves in a jumble is in February I will be traveling to japan for a month on my own. So I feel kinda scared in what might happen and if things will go smooth or not.If anything right now I am just one big bundle of jumping nerves.

   If there is one thing I would like to learn how to do is to live my life just one day at a time. I have only experiences this a few times in my life; that I can recall. I always think of how my future will be and try to plan for it. I like knowing that things are taking care of and become a certainty and not an anomaly. All though some of life's greatest experiences have come from anomaly's.
 
The ability to live day by day I think is a amazing thing to be able to do, but I think I would go crazy if I never knew what tomorrow was gonna be like. Well I would not really know since I have never been able to do it for a very long period of time. So I hope I will get to try it when I am in Japan.

Well that is all for now so remeber everyone stay extraordinary.

Depression sucks

Hello this one will be short. I am having a depressing day today. So I don't have much to say. I am blogging right now because I promised I would. My depression is pretty dumb, I wish I was not affected by it. I know an easy fix is just not be so depressed, because it is me who is making myself depressed. I know the answer of how to fix it, but I just can't seem to do it, or get it done.
  Some days for me it is really hard to just be happy where I am at life right now. I am sorry if I have brought any of you down with this blog. Depression I feel for me is selfish and undeserving of it, when my life is so great. I am sure in a day or two I will be happy again. So I guess I will just say sorry for now and hope you all had a happy new year.
 Next blog on January 8
