I made this tile for senior year in high school. Just found it on the internet. Cool.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I'm hoping that in 2006 you will work your ass

off with great ingenuity--not just at your job, but in every area of your

life. Do you have it in you to break all your previous records for brilliant

diligence? Are you willing to summon fierce discipline and crafty willpower

not only to pump up your career ambitions but also to refine your

approach to intimacy and increase your command over your own

emotions? Are you finally ready to master all the excruciating but crucial

details you've always avoided? If so, you could generate years' worth of

blessings.





Um, yeah.

Quentin Tarantino Your film will be 36% romantic, 29% comedy, 59% complex plot, and a $ 43 million budget.

Wow! What a life you have led thus far! Action-packed, anti-social with probably dark humor. Quentin hasn't really made many films, but each successive one is a bigger and grander project ... and more violent. Karate CHOP! Your life story will probably star Michael Madsen, Uma Thurman, or some TV or movie star from the 1980s for which your film will be the comeback -- let's say Emilio Estevez. Maybe. Now that the QT is dating Sofia Coppola, maybe he'll get some tips about putting some lump-in-the-throat romantic moments in his films. Quentin's short directing resume includes Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill Vols. 1 & 2.

Welp, the test is over. I don't remember a whole lot of it, but I was very lucky.



I started out the day talking to Neville, who advised me to wear my "lucky" gi, and kept saying もう、いよいよ今日ですね。It was funny.



I was first to take the test, Brian was second. I should say "give the demonstration" because it's not really a test. Anyway, things started out OK. I did 座り技 for a while, then 半身半立ち, then 立ち技, then 太刀取り, then 組み太刀 which I screwed up, then 棒一教, then 短刀取り, with Chris, who was such a good uke that everyone commented after how it seemed the hilight of the whole thing. Then there was 自由技 and 乱取り both of which went very well.



After it was over I was totally shot. My body was shaking with adrenalin and I was very sweaty and out of breath. But it was over, and it had gone very well, developing into a crescendo that got better and better the more tired I got. I think the weakest part was with Jim, my footwork was sloppy and not very grounded.



I was called into the office with Sensei, Ann, and Dave. Ann went first with her notes, then Dave, then Sensei. They all said the knife was great, and the randori was great. They said I showed many different facets of my training. Sensei said I was grounded to the earth and ki flowed from my feet out my arms and I stood tall. They said as the test went along it just kept getting better and better. I was connected with uke and dealt well with the control of violence and at all times I protected my uke. Sensei said the next 6 months are very special and I should take advantage of it, as my training will change in a big way.



I think I understand what she means. Today in class was my first after the test, and sure enough I felt as though my responsibilities had grown a lot. I feel like now that I'm wearing the fancy pants I need to do everything as if demonstrating how to do it to my partner. I have to be as good as I can be all the time.



Training in the hakama is sure different. I knew it would be, but it is quite iinteresting. I am always feeling the cloth all around my ankles and bunching up around my legs. I almost tripped when running backwards in irimi nage -- dangerous. I also don't like sitting indian style because seiza just seems more proper. I don't want to leave a big blue spot on the mat, or have a big worn butt spot on the hakama.



Anyway, I can hardly wait until tomorrow, although my knees are hurting and my hip is hurting and all. First Sunday class in the black belt. Cool.



All the kids were telling me congratulations, too. It is cool people I never thought would care are all happy for me.

How you can see the good in everyone around you boggles the mind occationally. Still you don't seem to be any crazier than that, and it is a nice kinda crazy. Kaylee Frye 100% Capt.
