Traffic, Tae Kwon Do, and everything in between.

I know school is back in, but really, that's no excuse for the other people I have no choice but to share the road with to turn into complete fucking losers. I realize this is a hard concept, but the little lines (some solid, some dashed) are there for a fucking reason. Please learn said reason, and take it into a account when driving. I hate you all and I hope you die. That wish will be granted in due course since everyone dies eventually, but I'm really pushing for some expediency here.

( Pointless ranting continues, because it makes me feel better. )

My right shin and forearm fucking hurt. In one sparring match last night, my opponent and I met shin to shin, and his shin guard came off in the process and now I've got a big fucking painful knot right there where the top of my boot is. Not his fault, but, OW! My forearm was a separate match, and it hurts like hell, but I supect the axe kick that it stopped would have hurt far more had it landed on my head as was intended. We haven't done much point sparring lately, it's been a lot of continuous to work on endurance and to get us in the habit of not stopping as soon as we score (in the real world, the chances are good that I'll never have to use my art, but if I do, treating it like a point match would be an extremely bad idea; perhaps even a fatal one, so we do train for that as well point sparring). I'm far better at continuous sparring than point sparring. I grew up being the smallest kid in the class, and learned a very defensive style of getting my ass kicked (going around picking fights with people who are stronger, have longer reach, and outweigh you is a good way to get hurt, so I avoided that). I learned how to take a hit and then unleash (most of the people who felt the need to pick on me never thought I'd hit back) from inside their effective reach. This is a really bad strategy in point sparring, but works amazingly well in continuous sparring. I don't just absorb a hit anymore though, I know how to make it a glancing blow or block it altogether while moving inside and then making my opponent into a Wavemaster.

I have a t-shirt that reads 'Heavily Medicated for Your Safey' and most people laugh when they see it. They shouldn't, it's not really a joke. I'm angry and moody over nothing right now, and can't you tell? I've been off the strattera for about two weeks now, and I'm losing it. I went my whole life never really knowing how to focus or having much control over my impulses, and now that I have, not being there really sucks. It still beats the side effects of strattera though. I see a neurodoc next week, and hopefully one of the other meds will give me that back, but without the myriad of nastiness that came with strattera.
