Martial Arts + Being a Bowman

I'm gonna try the Gina Davis thing. I hear archery is the win, so I might get into it pretty heavily. I need to do something active, and archery is pretty sweet. It will work my arms out, and I'll feel better.

I'd be using a recurve bow, or something to that extent. I'm not into hunting with a bow, so a compound bow isn't really needed. Compound bows are kind of like cheating really. It has a whole bunch of mecha-gears and stuff to make more tension come out of the bow. It's more of an assassin's bow, instead of a target bow. I might use one later on just to see what it's like, but loading the damn thing is hard I hear. It takes epochs to put it in a bow press, tweak the cam tension, and then fire it. This means that it will be really difficult to use for any practical/speedy shots. It is far more accurate though...whatever you shoot will 'splode.

More stuff on bows here

The other thing is that I might enroll in a ninjustsu academy in Dallas. They meet about three times a week and do martial arts training. It'd be good to be a ninja perhaps. More here.

Fucking blarg! -

The only thing to do is to let go of pain, and keep on going. Right? Right. I am still feeling it. The only thing to do is to feel it, and ride it. My bud JC stated today it might be reasonable to get back with her...and so did some others. But, I'm not. They had points, and I do miss her...but the future is known to me. It's what the past was, and worse. I can't let that happen.

This is not the first time me and her broke up. In 2001 we broke up b/c she wanted to go chase men. She did so, had her fill while I waited, and came back. When she came back, the 'I told you so' in me was told to STFU. Whatever. I didn't go out and chase girls b/c I thought it was a bad, and immature idea. It still kind of is. I think I'll let my relationships happen as a secondary factor for life, not a primary one. Friends, then lovers, then whatever else would be next.

I know exactly how it would go for Michelle if I got her back. First, we'd work some things out, and try hard. Then she'd get lazy, as would I, and we'd end up back where we started. Together, hating each other, and most likely depressed. Not the way to go. Nope. I can't do that again. So, I have to take the direct damage spell (more like a PBAoE - point blank area of effect) dealt to me, and suck it up.

I looked at some more bowing stuff. I found out from JC that recurve bows are the 'manly' bows. I've got to try bowing sometime, but have no clue where to start. If I goto a club, I'll have to ask for some help. It'd be better if I knew some bow freaks! GAH! Ah well, I'll look more into it later. Until then I'm just going to go write some more fiction. It's what is making me hurt less. That's a good thing for sure. I wish fucking Google would have came out with OpenOffice.org online! Losers! Hurry it up! I need in-browser office goodness you fucks! Screw M$!!!!
