Firsts things first I am sorry for not blogging regularly. Also I am sorry I could not make some classes and parades. I am sure you all had a blast. I have just being going to appointments for my mental health and I did not inform you all. So once again I am sorry for not being as vocal as to why I have been missing some events. But I am glad I did not have to miss one event, and that was panadmodium.
Every year it comes new and cherished memory's are made for everyone. Awareness it raised and new and old friendships are made or strengthen. I decided this year to do the all 24 hours challenge again; it's my third time. Which by the way I got to enjoy with my good buddy Dan. All 24 hours is a task that ask a lot from you, but you never regret it by the time your done the day. You get to see people you never meet at kung fu normally, and you get to practice a whole lot of kung fu, and see people you have not seen for a long time. You also get to experience new and wonderful moment in that time your there.
Probably the most favorite thing I did at the Pandamodium was getting to practice drumming. I have always wanted to learn more on drumming and that is exactly what I got. If I had to relive a moment in my life I would choose the time I was drumming that day. It filled me with such joy.
I would say every hour of the Panadamodium has it's unique experience and not everybody get to enjoy it do to some circumstances. I will say this year was a little more quieter then others, but the energy and people that attended made it feel like a success. I believe there is always room for doing better, but when action still take place in my books something has been achieved and now we look towards the future to make things greater.
I would highly recommend more people trying to attend the full 24 hours of the pandamodium. Even if it is only once. We all have a whole year to plan for the next one and I hope to see ton's of people try all 24 hours. Like I said it does take a toll on the body, but I can assure anyone, you might get addicted to it and try a few more times. Doing all 24 hours requires some planning and discipline. In the end you will get something out of it and you will remember it for a very long time.
Well I have blogged enough for now so remember everyone ordinary people extraordinary action.

We missed you at the parade. I had the drum all warmed up for you and everything. Parades are the best chance to get in practice.

ReplyDeleteAlso, sometimes you just want to keep things to yourself and that's ok. It's hard to talk about personal things.
