Here's the signature from a user or the message boards at Defend.Net. I don't know if this was taken from somewhere, or something someone actually said to this user.Son, we're not saying that there's anything wrong with you...but its just that NORMAL boys your age DON'T spend all day lifting weights and learning how to choke people to death!It's this negativistic attitude that prevented me from starting...
I hadn't seen SUM YUNG GAI at the coffee shop in a couple of weeks, and all of a sudden, there he is. I noticed that he was trying to bum money off of people. I gave him a "What's up?" when he spotted me, and he replied "Trying to get some money for something to eat." Like a reflex action faster than anything produced by my FMA training, I instantly told him how tapped out I was, and that my check...

In case I didn't spell it out somewhere earlier, E (aka Fred In The Can) created a second blog to document her experiences in the PRC. No, I won't link to it here... she uses real names and such, including mine, so I can't have that. I will, however, post a couple of interesting snippets.
People Are PeopleI found out yesterday that a science fiction nerd looks and sounds the same the world over....
There hasn't been that much to report, really except for the slow progress of chores that need doing and my routine of getting up, getting online to chat with E in China, putzing about and sitting at the coffee shop to kill time before work. There have been occassional life happenings, though...

Last night, I went with a couple of people to my second-favorite bar, recently reopened after remodeling. Looks nice and the marguaritas are still $2 on Wednesdays. Having gone right after work, it didn't dawn on me that it had been quite awhile since I had something to eat. It was fine last night, but I paid this morning.
But Don, what did you have to get up for anyway? you're probably thinking....

Let's bring you all up to speed...
ITEM ONE
Saw Fahrenheit 9/11 Sunday night. I'll be damned, Mikey did indeed bring the whole issue back to Flint, MI as he's done in all his films. The movie didn't contain much of his traditional ironic gags. You know, like going to the CEOs of the top auto manufacturers and daring them to see which one of them is actually capable of changing the oil in one...

I had a longish nap, which I had tried not to do because I've been trying not to go back to keeping vampire hours. It's actually been a tough debate, because I have no real reason not to do that. But, you know how it is when you try to exercise force of will over yourself. Regardless of success or failure, there's that moment of stubborn defiance that's rock solid until January 2nd, or that first...

Earlier today, I made good on my promise to train with BILLY_JACK. It was obvious just how long it's been since he did any stickwork. It wasn't all that bad, though. I taught him some trapping moves. I'm sure DATU_B is cringing if he's reading this right now, but not to worry -- he didn't really learn a damn thing. Truth be told, I did it more so that I could get some...
ONE: It's amazing how much success I can have using my peripheral vision. When I'm not distracted by people's flashy moves, you can easily frustrate a lot of attacks. Seriously, I was like 8 for 10!
TWO: Tae Kwon Do sidekicks rule! Yes, that's why it's the system taught to military and police in Korea AND Thailand.
THREE: Next time, know who the boss's wife is and learn to recognize her, so as...

Because after all, what else is a blog for, right?
ITEM ONE
[In a monotone, robotic voice] You will not be exterrrrrrrminated!
ITEM TWO
Noooooooo... really? What a motherf**king shocker.
ITEM THREE
I was listening to about 2 mintues of the second hour of today's Diane Rehm Show. The guest was Susan Edsall, author of Into the Blue: A Father's Flight and a Daughter's Return.After Susan Edsall's...
My sleep cycle seems almost back to normal. I don't feel completely exhausted. I think it was due in part to my struggle not to sleep before bedtime. It was part of the reason I hung out with DATU_B last night, although every cell in my body was screaming "No! Sleep... now!" Watching the trapping scene between Brandon Lee and Al Leong in Rapid Fire was cool, particularly since I'm working on trapping....

...to civilization, at least. Not to Athens. Wait, then I'd be leaving civilization again. Anyway, I'm at the house of... dangit, what alias did I give them? Time for a new one. I'm at MR. FIVE-O's, chilling out for awhile before heading back to A-town. I wish I could mail myself back home, as tired as I am, but there's no mail on Sunday anyway.
A great time was had. The only thing that would've...

I couldn't resist firing off one more entry before being gone for the weekend.
ITEM ONE

By Caroline NagyHow's that for a small world?
ITEM TWO
I suppose I'm stuck with BILLY_JACK. Since I had lunch with him yesterday, I suppose I'm deemed enough of...

Well, today I find out that email access should be no problem for E. Blogging might be harder for her. From what I've been told, Blogger.com is available in China. Blogspot.com (where E's blog is hosted), however, generally is not.
My biggest fear: Her realizing this and shouting out "This is ridiculous!" as she is wont to do in such situations, and 2 seconds later being surrounded by the thought...
I always said there was more to me than meets the eye.
You are Optimus Prime! You are a natural bornleader, brave and selfless and you will fightto the bitter end for peace and freedom. Youhave extensive knowledge in just abouteverything from art to the art of war. Youwould be a better leader if you were moreruthless,...

ITEM ONE
E would be sad to hear this about Mr. Scott.
ITEM TWO
Between being busy and having no cable, I've seen all of 3 minutes of this year's Wimbledon. That sucked.
ITEM THREE
Preparations for this weekend almost complete. Just some tasks to perform and some things I have to buy tomorrow before hitting the road Frid...
Just got off the phone with E, live and direct from Beijing! All is well, after her long-@$$ flight. We didn't get a chance to talk very long, but it was enough. She talked to her mom early this morning and got MOMMA_E to call me.
I didn't have the heart to tell her about my limited research that tells me blogspot.com is banned in China. So much for her posting on her blog unless I configure...

I figure I got about 4 hours of sleep last night. But, once I got up and around, I was tired but surprisingly awake when E and I left for the airport. She drove because I worked all day yesterday. Around 7 AM, I was awake enough to make the 1.5 hour trip back. Took a brief nap (shorter than I would've liked, but if you can't sleep, you can't sleep), got stuff done and wondered where this feeling...
Right now, E should be in the air on her way to San Francisco. At least, that's what Delta's website says. After that, she goes from there straight to the People's Republic of China. To be sure, I've had much sadder days in my life. Maybe this isn't so bad (yet) in part because of the feelings of pride and happiness thrown into the mix.
I made all sorts of little plans to hang out in Columbus...

...it didn't feel like the Fourth of July. And, I didn't spend the day in the park, either. I was at work. Why is it only during the holidays that the true mental misfits roam the streets?
Well, anyway, E detailed how we spent our Fourth, so I won't go into the inherent lameness.
On another note, I now understand why the hangover I neglected to document the other day was so debilitating -- good...

That's not until tomrrow, but I probably won't get a chance to post. And technically, it won't be until about 4:30 PM, but who cares? I've already gotten some early presents. Tao of Jeet Kune Do from E and a nice Sog folder from DATU_B.
I remember this time last year being excited about my 30th year. Life's gone forward in so many ways. Here's hoping it goes further.
Two themes were in my...

On time, and accurate as ever.
You are John Constantine. John has a strong knowledge of the occult and at times he appears to wield strong magical powers but he has also become known as something of a con-man, more likely to talk himself out of trouble than pull a rabbit out of a hat.
What Gritty No Nonsense...
