I was taught that if they have a chance to hit back then you let them live to long. Nothing like have a little Korean guy with his arm around your neck while he's telling you this...

What art? Tang Soo Do? Hapkido?

Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do and something I couldn't pronounce. Though to be fair, he never really told us to much about what styles we were learning. He just used one of us as a test dummy, which damn near always hurt like hell. Then, we tried to copy what he did.

Funny, that's also how I learned.

Well, the Mrs. and midgets have headed off to spend some time with family in another town. Kinda nice for her because she can get some help with the kids and some interaction with adults. Nice for me because I can get home and relax instead of spending two hours wrangling short people. The down side for all of us is we don't get to see each other for nearly a week.

GK - what condition do you have? I have terrible swelling on the inside of my left ankle, and it becomes very painful later in the day. I even thought it might be gout; my endo said he thought it was structural damage (sprain or some such,) and should be OK in a couple weeks. That was 10 weeks ago.

Turned out to be gout in my case, too, it was just quite high up near the ankle. Ibuprofen got rid of it in a couple of days, thankfully.

A few weeks ago I made this friend a computer, put it together, and installed all the things he wanted. Then he got a power outage and it near killed his computer. It ran too slow to do anything, so I brought it over my house to reinstall Windows, and all the stuff he wanted, I tried everything before that, hopefully, I'll be able to reactivate Windows even though I activated it on his comp but had to reinstall the same CD on it...

Haha, and of course no one said anything about it? the equality...

At an outdoor wedding with Nick & his parents. Back is hot -sun-, legs are cold -shade, breeze-, and I'm bored. As if you couldn't tell by the fact I'm posting here.

This is my best friend in the congregation's wedding, and the first I've been to in a long while, and both my mother and I have agreed, when I get married, I'm eloping, so much easier, and a lot cheaper.

On a side note, last night I finished working on something for Staplic... Looks good if I do say so myself. As well as that I got a blazer for me... It looks good, and I plan on wearing it to the city whenever I go. It was a $150 jacket, for only $75 bucks. It'll last me a while, and I like it.

So that's what's the latest in life, so far, waiting for this wedding to finish... It convinced me of an important thing, I'm eloping...

I love 'em... but JH wedding probably don't include the same amount of liquid recreation as I'm used to...

Good. Gout-specific medications are lifetime commitments, even after the attack is gone.

Actually, they probably do, there was a lot of it... and open bar. I hate being underage...
