Five Element Ninjas 五遁忍術

I remember seeing this back in the ’80s at my friend Terry’s house. The only snippet I remember are when the earth element ninjas came out of the ground. I thought it might be fun to watch ninja movies tonight and that memory popped in my head so I thought I could see if I…… Continue reading Five Element Ninjas 五遁忍術

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny

Tonight I thought it would be fun to watch ninja movies since Kai and I made it through our first fighting class in karate. For me, the best ninja movie ever was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I remember when this came out and what a hit it was. It was also unique in that the…… Continue reading Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

I’ve finally finished The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. I began reading it many years ago but only made it about halfway. I picked it up again half a year ago when I became interested in mediation and thought it might offer some insights. Needless to say it has taken quite…… Continue reading The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

Journal Entry – 9.1.2016 – Current Society, Ancient Rome and Business Speak

It is 5:56 AM. I haven’t been to the gym in the while as my body is just tired: it is tired from karate, from endless appointments, from visitors and from stress at work and tired from two young children of mine.

Journal entry – In Oakland

I’m sitting in the 555 12th St. lobby where the faint smell of industrial cleaner and other general, large building lobby smells remind me of my first office job in Columbus, Ohio. I’d go to work with my Dad early in the morning and was intimidated by all the Very Serious looking people in their…… Continue reading Journal entry – In Oakland

Journal entry – The fall season and elementary school

Yesterday I made a reminder to write a post about fall in Ohio. As I began to gather my thoughts I looked back and see I already wrote a post about this at the same time last year. It is now 5:09 AM and since I’ve already written about what I wanted to write about…… Continue reading Journal entry – The fall season and elementary school

Journal Entry – The end of summer

It is 6:28 AM and the household will awake soon; my morning “me time” has been cut short with the end of summer and the start of school. *side note: “Walking in The Air” has just come on my internet radio as if to add a punctuation mark to the theme and to aid me…… Continue reading Journal Entry – The end of summer
