LONG LOST ENTRY FROM THURSDAY OR SO

Many of us live out our lives in a routine, almost trance-like state, to a point where we are no longer living, but only existing. Tai Chi and related disciplines help us to develop our mind and body. They challenge our habitual conditioning and our perceptions of what we are capable of. Most of us do not know how to overcome our weaknesses. We are constantly underestimating the tremendous unrealised potential of our minds. Everyone wants happiness. Most of us spend endless amounts of energy and time looking for happiness. If we are able to appreciate the moment and focus our minds on what we do, we will find greater enjoyment and fulfilment in our daily lives. (from some internet website I can't remember)

Wow, and all this time, I thought Tai Chi was just supposed to put you to sleep! Ach, I'm being disrespectful.

I am at a point of no-action, because I'm so stressed and I don't want to set the world spinning again. I just don't know what to do with life, so I think I'll just sit down and write this 5-6 page paper comparing the benefits of the hard and soft styles of martial arts I've been practicing in Martial Arts Forms, and perhaps I will be enlightened. Or, at the very least, I'll go to bed at some point. That might be just enough for me.

Because I don't know what to do now. So instead, without reason, I give you quotes from perhaps one of the most sublimely wonderful movies ever, "L.A. Story":

Harris When I really analyze it, Trudi wasn't for me anyway. The only good times we had were having sex and laying in bed watching TV.
Ariel (Susan Forristal) I hate to tell you this, Harris, but if you can find somebody you can have sex with and lie in bed and watch TV, you've really got something.

keep you busy, but really not amounting to much...I'm paraphrasing of
course."
