More on health in general, and in specific

I’m talking about health. Let’s talk morea bout it. In yesterday’s post, I talked at length about eating disorders–namely, my disordered thinking. I don’t know how to go about being healthy in a healthy way. Well, that’s not exactly true. Taiji and bagua are healthy for me, and when I do them, they short-circuit that… Continue Reading

More about health, mental and physical

I’m writing more about health, and I’m going to try to stay on topic today. That’s probably not going to happen, but I like to have goals. Hope springs eternal and all that. Here is my post from yesterday. I will say before I get started that I’m still working on the Cane Form with… Continue Reading

Health, mental and physical, and martial arts

I’m talking about trying to be more healthy in general. I mentioned at the end of the last post that there are three things I really like a great deal. They are: writing, FromSoft games, and martial arts weapons. I already said thatt FromSoft games would be the first to go because there are tons… Continue Reading

More talking about my health in general

In yesterday’s post, I was talking planning on talking about health in general, but I quickly derailed myself to talking about family dysfunction instead.

Let’s talk about health in general

Let’s talk about health in general. It’s the broader category under which martial arts fall, and  it’s not something I talk about much. It’s something I’ve been thinking about more, and I want to get in better shape. This is tricky because I have a life-long history of eating disorders. It started when I wsa… Continue Reading

Today (Sunday) was the day my teacher’s home school had their Lunar New Year demo. It was broken up into three parts–the Taiji section followed by the Xingyi chunk and lastly, Bagua. I was watching on Zoom. The demo started with everyone who wanted to participate doing the first two sections of the Solo (Long)… Continue Reading

Thoughts on game design

I’m done talking about Ghost of Tsushima (Sucke Punch Productions) in specifc–well, kind of–but playing it has spuured thoughts about gaming in general. Here is my last post about GoT, which was about the game in general–and my issues with it. I wish I didn’t have the kind of brain that, upon seeing an open… Continue Reading

How dementia ruins everything, part two

I know that I can only change myself. I mention that because I’ve been musing about family and getting frustrated with my parents. Different reasons for each one, but frustration just the same. I don’t bring any of it to my father because he can’t help how he is (dementia), and it’s just how he… Continue Reading
