Strongman tomorrow 2:30 SHS where my Snake Style will defeat your Lazy-Ass styleStrongman Engineering Achievement
http://news.yahoo.com/voyager-1-probe-leaving-solar-system-reaches-magnetic-023825204.html
This is one of the coolest feats of human achievements ever, and it's buried in Yahoo news. For 35 years, this little engine that could has been trekking through the stars. Why can't all our appliances be this good. Leaving the solar system for what? "The undiscovered country", as Shakespeare said. What a marvel. A true Strongman; both the machine and those who dreamed and built it. And where are our dreams now? Where is NASA now? But hey, we have a lot of TV channels and Twitter.
"Go, baby, go! The Strongman Team Captain wishes you well!"

"Flowing with Punches"
"Flowing with Punches"
by Shu-Shu 1576 A.D.
(Translated from the Japanese Text:
Buddha's Sister's Name was Cow)
Into the gray world of life should come a water-mind discipline of: "Flowing with the Punches--"
with love and any insanity life throws into our path.
But do not forget that waves also crash and make beautiful monuments of stone
and that frigid ice can make bridges to new lands.
Love! Run! See! Fly! Create!
Lift your voice and your spirit every day to anyone who will hear!
And to your self if no one else is around.
(There is always someone listening.)
Love it all, this life.
Stop and look at the sky for awe and wonder and guidance,
look to the mountains, the blue oceans,
the green seas, to the eyes of hawks and dogs and ravens too,
to the lion's tooth and the butterfly's wing. They are all mirrored places within--
Flowing.
And most of all, never loose the faith in whatever you kneel or bow to
even if it's only stubbornness.
After all, we are the breath of stars,
And the stars--a reflection mirrored in our eyes.

Chillin,Steven Segal Documentary
Chillin, watchin Steven Segal Documentary. He flows like water. Cole (Student) asked me the difference between Aikido and Wing Tsun. My response, and I am no expert, was: "Wing Tsun is Aikido in a small space; the principals are very similar, soft, giving way, using other's force, etc. What Aikido does with the whole body, Wing Tsun does with one arm as in a 'bong' or 'tan'." I love both styles. One was invented by armored Samurai against many armored, sword-bearing opponents. The other as hand to hand (basically) and to finish as fast as possible. Both can be performed effectively by a small person, or woman against a bigger assailant. Huge fan of both and Mr. Segal, though his cheese has slid off his cracker a bit in his later years, he was one of the only "Anglos" to ever be allowed to teach in Japan, he was--and still is nasty. He helps train arguably the best fighter in the world: Anderson Silva, so let the facts speak for themselves if you don't like him. For a true appreciation of his style watch his first two or three movies when he was just doing his Aikido. Brutal, fast, and beautiful... like me-- Ha!
