Time to lose weight

Hi everyone, I am almost done with getting equipment for my excersize room. As soon as I get over this damn cough, I will start working out. I really want to go back to karate class, need to lose some weight so my knees wont hurt too much in class. Sorry that I haven't written since April, its been so hard keeping up this blog. As you know I had stopped writing poetry for the time being until I publish my own chapbook of poetry.

Publishing my own Chapbook of Poetry

Hi everyone, I have finally decided to go ahead and publish my own chapbook of poetry. Something I can sell, if I get enough guts to beat my stage fright and go in front of an audience to read my poetry. I wonder if I can work from a small crowd and then work my way up to maybe doing the open mic at the Tuesday Night Cafe in Little Tokyo. My book template is almost done, then I need to either find a printer or go to Kinko's and get a hundred copies made. Those of you who have already kept up with my WordPress site, would you be interested in buying it when I get it printed?

Other news, I think I will not be dancing much during this years Obon season due to my knee problems. I have taken some time off from Karate class to allow my knees to heal. Some how I don't think its healing at all, because I still feel pain above the pain pills my Doctor gave me. I will keep you all posted as to whats going on in my life.

A New Year and New Adventures

Hi everyone, Its a new year and things have changed alot since last year. As some of you know that Phuong and I have started taking Karate classes in Little Tokyo, but this year starting in Feburary, I have been sick off and on, went to the Doctor to see what was up and it turns out that I have allergies that screw up my sinuses, and a bad case of athletes foot on both feet. The left foot is all healed now but the Right one wont seem to heal.

Since, I turned 40 this past Feb, I have been having a painful knee problem, have a feeling that Karate class had made it worse. Need to go to the Dr. to see if I can get an MRI done on both my knees. I am tired of this excruciating pain and dont like that I have to take pain pills before each class. Been out of class since Feb, and Phuong has been going without me. She may even get her Green Belt at the end of this month.

Other news, this year Phuong and I were going to volunteer for Nisei Week, but after something happened a few weeks ago between me and the Nisei Week Facebook Police, I don't want anything to do with it, until the people involved are no longer there. To sum up what happened, someone on the Nisei Week court complained about my postings and said that they were uncomfortable around me. So I had to unfriend her and block her and the other court members off my facebook friends list, blocked a few of the volunteers too. I don't understand why they can't unfriend me themselves. I have never wrote anything bad about them on the posts on their page. Also if you dont want anyone to like your myspace page, dont link it to facebook in the first place.


So this week, I had started to volunteer with the Tuesday Night Project, the group that puts together the Tuesday Night Cafe in front of EWP. At least there, the people know me and have no problems with me. I will write more later.
