This past weekend.

I got a few things here, and none of them are related, so bear with me and my disjointed mind:

This past weekend I attended a two day seminar on Shorei Goju Ryu karate. Great stuff. This is a style that I’m currently studying and it was great to get all the schools together.

I must be a sadist at heart, though. I’ve got bruises all up and down my poor body from all the pressure points that were lit up. Two sessions in particular: Small Circle Jujitsu and Free Form Bunkai. Bunkai is traditionally an interpretation of Kata…which to those who don’t know is similar to Tai Chi movements only with more force. Bunkai is the “attacker” to Kata. Free Form Bunkai takes it to a new level because you add in arm bars, finger locks, and throws. Nasty.

Small Circle Jujitsu is just pure hate. Lots of joint manipulation. My fingers, specifically my pinkie and ring fingers, were bent in so many different positions I thought for a moment that the bones had disappeared. I also learned a technique that involves the “love handles” that will make you slap your momma.

So, for those that were looking for an update to Just Waking…I’ll get to that later tonight.

Super Bowl half-time show. What the fuck has happened to this? Janet flashes some tit and the whole show gets knocked into the middle ages…like late 60’s. The Rolling Stones. I bitched about this at the beginning of the season and here we go again. You guys knew I’d hit on that again, didn’t you?

So…they opened the season with “Start Me Up”, and some new song that sounded like drivel. They end the season on: “Start Me Up” and some new song that sounded like drivel. Oh…but, it’s a three song set…so naturally they play “Satisfaction”.

Only, part of the song sounded like Elmer Fudd suddenly appeared on stage:

“And I twy…and I twy…and I twy…and I twyyyy!”

WTF?

At least it wasn’t Gretchen Wilson. Hag.

Right…so I bitched about this last week, and I hate to blog about the same thing twice. However:

What in the fuck is wrong with the Muslim world? I’m sure you all heard that several people…5 or 6 last I heard…DIED over these stupid cartoons. Dead…deceased...gone from this plane of existence over a friggin cartoon.

Whywhywhywhywhywhywhy?!?!?! What in the name of your Muhammad are you people doing? Can’t you have a peaceful demonstration that doesn’t end up with the fire-bombing of an embassy or the declaration of a Jihad on entire nations of people?

Are you people that fucking ignorant? No, really. Are you that fucking pathetic that you froth at the mouth like a rabid badger over a drawing? Who in the world will ever take you seriously…to give you respect…when you animals can’t debate without throwing rocks at each other.

And where are all the celebrities in Hollywood on this one? So Bush is from the devil and he’s taking our civil rights away. Debatable, yes. However, he’s a far cry from this fanatical bullshit. Where’s Tim Robbins on this? Haven’t heard a word from Sean Penn…of course he’s probably busy with his brother…I’ll let that one slide. Where are all the people who cry out against censorship in America and denounce the war?

They’re shutting the fuck up right now. They don’t want to anger their buddies. They don’t want to speak out against the people they’ve been supporting for the last few years…that would send the wrong message.

Here’s the best part. The protesters ALWAYS try to write a few banners in English…and they fuck it up 90% of the time. I couldn’t screen grab the pictures I saw on MSNBC today, but there were several of protesters with signs in Engrish™. Here’s a sample of the few that I saw:

“Go to the Hell Denmark.” – Outside Danish Embassy, Jakarta
(Sounds too much like: “Go to your room.”)

“No Est – No West, Islam is at best.” – Kyderabad, Pakistan
(First I thought that this was written partially in Spanish…then I read the rest a few times before I got it.)

“Europe lacks respect for others.” – London, England
(Now…this was very well written, printed out at a local Kinko’s I imagine. It was the phrase that got me. Because the Arab nations have NOTHING but respect for other countries…they haven’t been bombing themselves into caves for thousands of years…nooooo. The followers of Islam are nothing but respectful of the Infidels.)

“Together to protect our prophet 'Peack be up on him' "- Sudanese Muslims, Khartoum.
(K the new E.)

I’m sure that the people in Denmark are all sitting around shitting their pants full of chocolate tulips over this. “How did we suddenly become the U.S. of Europe? Everyone in the Muslim world hates us?” Of all the nations in Europe, Denmark became the asshole of Islam? How does that work? Crazy shit.

In closing: If you and your religion can’t teach anything but violent intolerance then FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR RELIGION, you ignorant lemmings.
