My sleep is fucked. It’s big time fucked. In fact, I should be trying to sleep pnow, but I am not doing it, obviously. I have always had a bad relationship with sleep. Fraught, I might even say. It started when I was a little kid because I just could not sleep during the ‘regular’… Continue Reading
I’m back to talk more about my martial arts in the next year. Before I get to that, though, my god. My sleep is so off the rails. Like, this is the worst it’s been in quite some time. Ugh. I’m trying very hard to get it back on track, but for whatever reason, it’s… Continue Reading
I am so close. SO CLOSE. One more posture, and I’m done with the Double Fan Form. Well, I mean, I’ll have to refine it and make it all spiffy, but I will have taught all 48 postures to myself. 48! I still can’t believe I made it to the end. Well, I can because… Continue Reading
This has been a very shitty year for many reasons. Some are related to the politics of this country, but some of it is personal. I’m not going to delve too deeply into either, but I just wanted to state that at the outset. I don’t have much love for my country– Side note (And,… Continue Reading
I’m back to talk more about martial arts and my goals therein for 2026. Here is yesterday’s post in which I mused about what martial arts mean to me and more. I must say, it was easier when I just practiced Taiji beacuse I could say Taiji and leave it at that. Now, I can… Continue Reading
Let’s talk about martial arts. Why? Because they are very important parts of my life and because I want to. I think those are good enough reasons. I’ve decided that I’m going to do both the idealistic version and the realistic version in one post. Maybe intertwined. ‘Coz that’s how I roll. First, though, I… Continue Reading
I’m going to do it. I’m going to muse about what my ideal life would look like. Why? Because maybe it will make me figure out my actual realistic goals for 2026. First off: I want a fuck buddy. Or three. I have been trying to line one up for several years, but something has… Continue Reading
I’m back to talk more about my plans for the new year. It’s been over four years since my medical crisis, so it’s past time to actually think about my life (since I still have one). Today, I want to talk about something that I think will be impossible to find, and then try to… Continue Reading
I need to tackle my brain issues in 2026. I have recently realized that I’m neuroatypical, though I’m not exactly sure of the particular flavor (probably autistic and maybe ADHD, too). One issue I have is that it’s really difficult for me to do something if my brain is against it. One lifelong example that… Continue Reading
I am going to talk about my realistic goals for 2026 once again. Here is my post from yesterday in which I blathered on and on about writing, identity, and the intersectionality thereof. Today, I want to talk about Taiji and Bagua. Why? Because why not? More seriously, because they are very important to me,… Continue Reading
