The absolute latest from ME!

Hello world!

I am hoping that this weekend will be treating you good as it did for me so far. Yesterday is a grand example of what I am talking about. Now where do I start is probably what you're asking me (or me asking myself that)! First, I got up early enough so that I can go to the Wushu school in Evanston. I was a little late but that was okay as the class started after I came in. I first met Amber, the nice lady that was responding to my e-mails that works at the school. Then, I was introduced to Master Anthony Marquez, who runs the school. They allowed me to sit in on the class that day and I was blown away. I also met a couple of the students, Mike and Rachel. Those two are absolute sweethearts. I will probably go to that school due to my time table, but we will see.

I got more information in regards of the Tai Chi school near the building I live in and the only class they have available for me is the Saturday afternoon Ba Kua class. Now I need more time to train in the class than that. I should know, I was in Tae Kwon Do for a month, and I was there almost everyday of my time there. I didn't lose or gain anything there, so I am looking for something better than what I've been previously trained in. But oh well, that's life there for you. My investigation for a good martial arts school is nowhere near complete because of it, but it'll be over before you know it. Therefore, I am doing what my caseworker Gregg is telling me because I don't want to get into something really expensive.

Now before I got to the Wushu school, I was in the city for a short time, at the Toguri Store on Belmont near Clark. I bought myself a frame that has the Asian symbol meaning Dog, as in the Year of the Dog, according to Asian Astrology (I was born in 1982, even though I am technically a Rooster due to my birthday) and stuff about the dog. I also bought Kiwi Gummies (thanks Jennifer for introducing me to them seven years ago) and Fortune Cookies (a six ounce bag) and paid in cash. After the visit to the Wushu school, I went to Barnes and Noble and then Borders to see what they have. Borders had some poetry stuff that I bought like right away. That was my day yesterday.

Didn't do much today so...Therefore I have to get going now so that I can get home and whatnot. I will report again tomorrow. Laterz and peace!
