When I was in high school, there was a group of people who always thought that they were smarter and more intelligent than everyone else.

We would take turns every day voting who was going to be the President, according to who was […]

Qi Gong Tips #5

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

We are starting with (returning to) the Lower Stance today.
Begin with feet in parallel footing.
Step out low and wide.
Turn into the crease (don’t reach).
You are turning further because the leg has to go out further.

Keep turning = that’s what puts the leg out.
Turn out = so that the […]

Commencement / starting = no double turn anymore.
Just sink and turn.
You don’t have to put the leg out = the sinking and […]

Politics and the Diebold Voting Machine

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

My parents are heavily into politics. From 1990 to 1993 I was heavily involved in politics, until I made just one too many trips to Washington, D.C., and finally realized that all the letter-writing campaigns in the world don’t really matter unless there’s a big check to go with it.
What does matter, […]
