Starting at the Beginning

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

I am back here again, ready to try and stick to it a bit longer this time. I truly do believe that I have finally completed all the field research I will ever need. Not to mention how dangerous "fieldwork" can be. I am not getting any younger. I am now ready to put all of that hard-won experience to work. I don't expect to be terribly productive at first as I get up to speed and build up some momentum, relearn my web skills and whatnot. Hopefully it will become a regular occurrence for me to get something up every week. That is my goal over the next month or so. I have only started my redesign on this site, and have only kept a couple of my old posts. I will likely be going in a little different direction this time around.

Wing Chun Kuen

I still haven't found the time yet to finish any new material - but I'm working on it. So here is another essay from a few years ago. I wrote this off the top of my head, and take full responsibility for any factual errors. It's a little introduction to the Chinese Martial Art known as Wing Chun Kuen. I've studied it for over twenty years now, and have picked up a little bit of knowledge on this subject which is so dear to my heart. All opinions and errors are my own.

Demons of the Abyss

For my first essay, I am using an old letter I sent to a good friend of mine a few years ago. I am sure I can come up with more original material soon enough. I really like this essay, and I feel it is worth sharing a little further. I wrote it while still in active addiction, but I like it all the same. It is about our little inner negative voices, the ones that call us worthless and a failure. I like to refer to them as demons.
