Kendo
I really want to do Kendo. I'm not very interested in Samurai though, I just want to whack people with a stick! It's the ultimate kids' sport, I reckon, though I'm not sure these guys will agree : http://www.kendo.or.jp/english-page/51thAJKC-video2.html Who won then?

I read my Blog and felt a bit misrepresented : It seems that I always write positively about whatever I do, as if I'm living in some kind of carefree heaven. I'm pretty sure I don't live in a carefree heaven, but I do like to make the most of stuff. I suppose that's why my Blog seems overly positive sometimes. And I'm in that "shifting perspective mode" all the time. I can't remember when that started, but probably with my interest in Zazen. I didn't used to do that. If something is shite ( apart from music and films ) I always seem to shift around to a different view, like even though it was raining on me and I lost at Pachinko and all the kids in my lessons were like distressed monkeys and the guy on the train slept on my shoulder; it's a shite day, but it's not so shite. Even if I feel like it is, I know it's not. And I suppose, I write from this perspective.
