Speaking of my youngest karate student being in a fight...

I have had several of my students get into fights. Over the years I have taught quite a few cops and jailers and they have had to use the knowledge out in the street. It was great for me as an instructor because they would come back with a report on how things worked and what didn't. We could make... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's a picture of my youngest martial arts student

I call him kara-Trey when he's dressed like this. My wife thinks that I'm going to be making regular visits to the principal's office when Trey gets into school. She's not too sure about teaching a 1 year old (now 2) how to punch, kick, and hit people with a stick. She also doesn't think I'm funny... Sign in to see full entry.

Seeing the world through a child's eyes

What's this on the wall? Well, look it's a bug. A closer look. Look Dad, a bug. Isn't that cool? Sign in to see full entry.

Bad news, I'm still missing a ball

It didn't get here in the mail yesterday. Trey and I are going to be walking up to check the mail after I post this blog. Cross your fingers. I'm teaching security officers how to take violent people down to the ground and quickly gain control of them. I'm teaching them more than that but that's... Sign in to see full entry.

Update for everyone that was concerned because I lost one of my balls

I got my assignment turned in yesterday. Actually my wife sent it in for me when I was at work. My partner emailed his part to me and she sent it in so that I had my assignment in on time. Let's hope that doesn't happen again. I have my history done for the week so I will start in on the reading... Sign in to see full entry.

The cost of procrastination this week

Okay, I know Talion, I can't really complain but this just hasn't been my standard operating procedure for college. I screwed off and screwed up when I went to college 20 years ago. I went back to college for the spring semester this year and took a summer class and things have been different.... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been putting this post off because...well, you'll see

My wife and I have a college class together this semester. We are both taking a class on research paper writing. We both have homework due tomorrow that neither of us has put any effort into as of yet. Tuesday nights, we have off together so our date tonight will be a homework date. Woohoo! This...

Maybe I should have said, "I've lost one of my balls!"

We aren't heading into town until the 16th of October so I might have to order an exercise ball online. I don't know if I can wait that long to get my preferred seat back. I haven't sat on a chair at this desk for months. I really did enjoy the exercise ball. It's supposed to be good for your ab and... Sign in to see full entry.

Have you ever had your whole world go out from under you?

I'm blogging away, minding my own business when suddenly I find myself laying on the floor. Tek and Trey came running to see if I was okay. You see, I sit (sat) on one of those exercise balls when I type. It's comfortable and supposed to be good for you. I would shift it around from side to side to... Sign in to see full entry.

I recall, how you tore your dresses, what a messes, I confesses

My wife recently told me that over the last couple of years, I have lost my sense of humor. My post yesterday made me think of this. Right after I graduated from high school, I had a couple of friends that told me that I should go into stand up comedy. They would have me do some of my bits for... Sign in to see full entry.
