Tang Fu

My wrestling years in high school had me in great shape, but I was in the best shape when I was wrestling team captain and training for my Black Belt at the same time. Now, two years without going to a single martial arts class, two years of a desk job, and two years of southern fried living have gotten me in real soggy shape.

Today was my first Tang Soo Do class since I left Providence. I am hurtin' and it's only been about 3 hours. Tomorrow is gonna absolutely suck... and the next day won't be any better.

I was in the pizza shop after class wearing my work shirt and shoes with my martial arts pants. I thought I looked dumb, but my girlfriend said I looked pimp.

Pooty-Tang Soo Do? Somebody make that on photoshop for me, I'm too lazy.

One more on Martial Arts: if you haven't seen "The One," just skip to a few parts: Evil Jet Li beating up cops with motorcycles; Jason "Transporter" Statham explaining the more academic parts of The Multiverse; Delory Lindo's dope acting (black actor = death scene halfway through) and Jet Li vs. Jet Li. That last fight is frickin poetry. Jet Li is the most talented practitioner that I have seen of a Chinese martial art... who is alive today, that is. He moves like a steel noodle.

Bedtime ... 5 days to Puerto Rico, cannot wait!
