@bella: i suppose basing one's opinions on the opinions of a former relative aren't exactly good but every time i see the local krav maga studio i just think back to how he called it a fake piece of crap.

it's not my time/money/effort, though, so learn whatever you like. though you should remember that most karate isn't made of "pretty kicks", it's made of practical blocks, punches, kicks, and takedowns. only when you start to get to the higher belts do you get the stuff they show in the movies.

@pent: let's hope you get better soon. :\

I'm actually feeling a bit better now; after a quick nap, a foot massage from my cat, and a nice hot shower :3

Also, courtesy of a topic on GameFAQs, I found something that I can picture Nej owning

Just got paid $50 for slapping 1Gb of RAM into a system that can barely run anymore, today was a good day.

[Nichi]

Nice, man. I got paid $2 for making sure my bro-in-law picked the right power supply for his desktop. Sure, that's pretty much just one bottle of Coca-Cola, but hey; Coke :3

[Chocofreak13]

told you a nap was what you needed. -w-

@kraus: your song is now on my ipod along with paul's.

also, if they want to save it, it's no one's business to stop them. :3

WOOT I'M ON TEH iPodz!

Well, he is planning on building a new system himself soon anyway so I just told him that it will last 1 more year at the most and then he should scrap it.

[Chocofreak13]

nothing should be completely scrapped. if it can be salvaged, it should be! ^^

@Pent: I don't expect you to like your local sports teams, considering how you don't really like your area and find the local obsession with sports baffling. It's kind of different for me since I live and breathe New England-ness and love just about everything associated with my region, sports teams included; not to mention the total embarrassment of losing to the Giants, since eastern New Englanders, especially Bostonians, tend to dislike New York (and New Yorkers) with a burning passion. Now we're going to have to put up with New Yorkers bragging about the alleged "superiority" of their statistically inferior team for god knows how long...

For me personally, if ANY other team had beaten the Patriots, I would be disappointed, but been able to get over it rather quickly. But losing to NY is like having salt rubbed into the wounds.

I'm sorry... I really am... but I feel moved to post this.

Nothing personal, I'm not from that region and have no investment - it just seemed like a can't-miss opportunity. ^^;

@Martial arts: The only one I'd really like to learn is krav maga, since that looks like it'd be both fun and potentially very useful.

Krav maga is definitely one of the more utilitarian and functional martial arts.  It was put to great use in GTA IV.  I have to say I prefer Savate and Muay Thai, though, as I've always had a fondness for the effectiveness (as well as the aesthetics) of those styles.  Brazilian Jiu-Jutsu is by far my least favorite style - no real reason there, I just hate it.

You know, sometimes I wonder what that's like; actually liking the area you're living in

[stewartsage]

It's quite nice actually, though you tend to notice the faults rather easily. (speaking as someone who can imagine fewer places they would be as happy)

Seconding on all accounts.

Anyway, I had to drive my dad to the hospital this morning, from the symptoms he's describing and what the doctors say it sounds like he has a kidney stone. He had one about a year and a half ago too...

[Nichi]

@Bella: That's got to suck >_<
Hopefully your dad will be fine

[Red-Machine]

I've had a few of those.  Hurt like a bitch when they come through.  I was writhing around on the floor in agony almost.  Passed as quickly as it came, leaving me wondering what the hell happened.

[Nichi]

I've never had one, but I know my grandpa had one. It was rough from what I heard

[Bella]

Just wanted to let you guys know that my dad is doing fine, more than anything else he's upset that he didn't get anything done today because of a stupid kidney stone.

@Red: That sucks... do you have some sort of predisposition to forming them or something? : /
