Why I Consider Myself “Pagan” – for those who may ask
MM, Occasionally, I go on message boards. This time an interesting topic was brought up, and it spawned some amusing comments. The topic was pretty much “what is pagan?”. Through that it was mentioned that many of the Asian cultures are “pagan” in practice. This was something that I personally observed as well, myself being…

A Short Run – Monday, September 25, 2006
MM, Yay! I finally got out for some fresh air and a run. It was a short run though. I ended up doing so much that I didn’t have time for a longer run before I met up with Nathan. In any case, I did a half mile run at a decent pace – 4…

My First Ritual as Summoner
MM, This past Sunday was my first ritual as Summoner. It was an interesting night. Since it was a Sabbat night (Harvestide), the temple ended up quite packed. It was hard for me to keep an eye on everything going on inside the circle with a packed house and also considering my height (5’3″). Overall…

Do jang and gym days – September 14 and 20, 2006
MM, Wow, I managed to get into the do jang last Thursday (September 14). It was good to get back to the do jang. I’ve missed taekwondo so much. It was one of our crazy kicking classes. After I got home from the do jang, I went for a run. I ended up with some…

Training update – August 18 to September 12, 2006
MM, Yes, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted an update on my training. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I spent two and a half weeks working on my mom’s house; thus, I was too tired from all that work to go workout properly. I did manage to get some running in…

Fight Science is now available
MM, As a follow-up to my previous blog entry on Fight Science, this martial arts documentary is now available on torrent for download. (Check torrentspy.com.) If you watch the documentary, I think it’s worth noting that the amount of power generated by the small kung fu guy is comparable to the power generated by the…
