I have put countless hours into Balatro (LocalThunk). Seriously. I don’t want to even look at how many hours because then I would have to acknowledge that it took over my life for several weeks. I took a break from it when I was getting stuck on–oh. *SPOILERS* Orange Stake. Or maybe earlier. This was… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was writing this and that, not with any real focus. But it was about Taiji, mostly. And, yes, I will be writing more about it again. I have said before that I am a mix of regulated and free-wheeling. This is evident with my Taiji practice, too. I do the same… Continue Reading
In my last post, I veered into the territory of FromSoft games as I was talking about Taiji because it was a comparison to something that I loved that did not love me in return. It’s also a reason as to why I love FromSoft games, I do not like most soulslikes. So many soulslikes… Continue Reading
More about Taiji (and maybe Bagua. We’ll see). In yesterday’s post, I highlighted some of the differences between Taiji and Bagua. Today, I want to talk about my love for Taiji because I can. And because it’s deep. And it’s one thing I love that actually loves me back. I’m not talking about people–there are… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about Taiji and how it went from something I do to something I am. Here’s yesterday’s post about my journey through Taiji. Not all of it, of course, but bits and parts of it. I want to continue on with that musing because it is such an important part of… Continue Reading
Before I start the actual post, I want to complain a bit about Word Press. The post I wrote yesterday did not get published on time, and I don’t know why. This has happened more than once, and I think it has something to do with lag. It’s Chrome. I don’t know why it’s all… Continue Reading
When I was younger, I took the Myers-Briggs several times for different reasons*. That’s not the point of the post, so I will just say that I was consistent in three of the four letter. INF to the max each and every time. However, the fourth category, P or J (which I interpreted to mean… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about Bagua today. Yesterday, I talked more about Taiji because that’s my first love and what I’ve been doing for fifteen years. Bagua is a Johnny-Come-Lately in terms of time doing it. I think it might be a year? Probably not quite. Time has absolutely no meaning now. I was… Continue Reading
Yes, I’m going to talk more about martial arts because it’s one of the shining stars in my otherwise dark sky. I knew that asshole was going to ignite everything on fire, but I did not expect it that quickly. I should have, but I didn’t. I knew he was going to let all his… Continue Reading
I am continuing on my martial arts journey. I’m still working on both the Cane Form and the Fan Form. I have to stop myself from rushing onto the next weapon form because I still have spots in this form that are giving me trouble. Again, I need to make sure the corrections stick in… Continue Reading
