I was just reading a witty blog post by Wayne Muromoto (publisher of the old Furyu magazine) andthought I would share a bit:
Hey Sensei, how long before I can kick ass?
How long before you stop being a jack ass? There’s no set time on becoming proficient in a martial art. What you put in is what you get out of it. Plus you have to train the right way. Doing it the wrong way many times over doesn’t make you better. It only makes you good in doing something bad.
I recently saw two ninja movies that came out last year and though both were entertaining, neither was very good. So, here’s my review:
Ninja (2009): Age old story, boy meets girl in ninja school, they bond. Rival ninja student hates boy does bad things and gets a tabi boot to the butt. Rival student returns to make everyone regret the day…
Ninja Assassin (2009): Age old story, boy meets girl in ninja school, they bond. Rival ninja student kills girl. Boy escapes and returns to make everyone regret the day…
So, I’m glad I didn’t pay theater prices ($10 per flick) to see them… Instead i borrowed them from my local library (free).
As many of you know, I work in IT for libraries. What many don’t know is that I have been an avid support of the library system since i was young… And that I have logged more hours in a library (for fun) then most scholars! So, when I came across this video – I just had to share!
If you haven’t heard of ImprovEverywhere, here’s a clip for you to watch.
You gotta hand it to them, they always do a wonderful job at their events. you can see more of them here: Improv Everywhere!
It’s a guilty pleasure but I have always enjoyed the Tick comic book and animated TV show… Then the Live Action show made it to FOX and I thought, “What are the odds?” And, it too, was good. So if you can, check it out:
This is just darn funny:
This one was one of my favorite scenes:
So, go read a (comic) book!
