So many changes
There's so much to write about but so little interest. I've lost a girl-friend, acquired a good friend, experienced more emotional pain than I thought I would but the choices are for the best. She wants something I can't give her right now, possibly ever. She has every right to choose her own path. And, to be completely honest, I don't think she can give me everything I need from a good relationship, either. C'est le vi.
In other news, I think it's about time that a certain someone learned to control their actions before they hurt anyone else. I have a "student" in Taekwondo club who has managed to seriously hurt three people in just over half a semester. This individual has studied the art for 12 years according to him. I'd like to think that in 12 years, he would have learned the difference between fair play and bullying. I must have been having a moment of optimism. If it didn't go against everything I believed in, I'd just spar with him and snap a knee or utilize a move in T'ai Chi known as an arm break, but unfortunately, this would simply be bullying the bully. Two wrongs (or in this case, it would be four) don't make a right. Still, it is long past time to do something.

That's just it. I've already had three people put out of commission by this putz. The first time, I said nothing because I assumed it was an accident and that he would avoid such things in future. The second time, I indicated that he had cheated in the game (which he had) and that he should be more careful. The third time, I was unsure of the extent of the injury and was more concerned with making sure the hurt person was okay than with publicly reprimanding this jerk. I couldn't follow my "gut" reaction or I might be in jail now. :-p However, the time has come to speak and make clear what must be done. If he chooses not to follow the guidelines, he will be asked to leave and not return.

I used to train Aikido - you know the martial art of "peace"...whatever. There are always going to be bullies...wonder why that might be showing up for you...
Just discovered your blog - I'll be back. :)
