It's after work and I'm sitting in my office. Perhaps I'm finally beginning to get into my schedule since I've come back from Japan. This semester I'm working nights and starting classes at 3pm. So far I like it. One thing that I really like about it is that it gives me time to do things in the morning when I'm fresh. Something I'm really enjoying so far this semester is taking Tae-Kwon-Doe lessons in the morning. I get up at 8am, throw my clothes on and then run to meet my teacher near the cafeteria. So far I really like it. I was trying to analyze why I like it so much. For me it's so beautiful, so artful. Even though one could argue that in dance or sports a person trains their body in a similar way to produce some sort of movement. But in my opinion martial arts are the most beautiful. It was funny yesterday my teacher taught me a new kick. The first time I tried it he said, "Have you learned this before? It's like you already mastered it!" I think perhaps I was lucky the first time but it was true that kick came more naturally to me than other kicks. I was thinking later about why that was then it dawned on me. As many of you know I'm a major Matrix 1 fan and I've probably watched that movie 20+ times. (yes...it's true--in a sheepish voice) I’m pretty sure that Neo does this kick a couple times and one particular time really pronounced. So I realized that watching that movie a million times might have sub-consciously helped me out. See-it does pay to watch certain movies multiple times. :-)
