For example, the Rothchilds?
Yes, grades: I conquered a difficult semester, and drove my
GPA up .58 points. I got an A in Tai Chi, no small feat considering
my accumulated abscences. I think I was one of the highest ranking
students in the class, as well. I've had a great instructor and some
marvelous advice from my friend Zak, whose been studying martial
arts since the tender age...

To me, the Poisonwood Bible was a really eye-opening book, and also a very touching story.. I think I learned more about Kongo's/'Zaire's history, and about Africa's history in general, than I've ever learnt in any schools I've went to! I couldn't stop reading the book.. It both made me a bit ashamed of living in the Western world that has exploited Africa so much, but also I fell more in love with Africa again, and would love to do more things now to help to make this world more fair to people who are living there..

Actually no, you didn't go off the deep end. It's an interesting concept. I've studied eastern philosophy a bit and Taoism seems to be the major force at work in my life (time was I would've said I was an artist by education, a chef by occupation, and a Taoist by inclination). I think alot of eastern thought is closer to the universal truth than western, but it's all part of the same big puzzle. On the vacation I just got back from I ran into three personal works by authors and researchers philosophies that set some of my cosmology on end. Two said the same thing though for different reasons (which was basically that each day is a fresh start and hence life is the future and not the past) and the third was the most scientific and in-depth research I've seen concerning the possiblity of re-incarnation (which was a mind-blowing article). It seems to further my idea that there is something greater than what we know of as the physical world, and possibly that there is some purpose to it all. I think anything that people might purport to be god or religion is a clue. Just as is everything you experience in life. The term guru is often mistaken to mean a wise old man, but it's not. The term has a much braoder meaning which is summed up by the word teacher. Anything that teaches you; a novel, a glance from a stranger, a religious text or experience, absolutely anything is a Guru. I think that opens up a huge range of potential for human growth to those who are observant. I'm actually rather curious about your studies into martial philosophy, for when I studied Shotokan Karate for a short while earlier this year I found that it taught me alot more than fighting techinques, and I look forward to being in a position to study the martials arts and sciences further one day.
So I saw the Matrix: Reloaded last night. Everyone else
is talking about it, so I thought I would as well. Well, I
agree with what alot of the people in the boards were saying
about trying not to compare it to the first one. The fist
movie was a precedent onto itself, the foundation on which
the rest of the series will stand. I...

I've heard a lot of negative reviews about it. But I will still see it.
prana:
Yes, it might be more enjoyable after the crowds die down.
Screaming children are an unavoidable part of the Matrix
as well, I suppose.

I just wanted to catalougue an incredible day I've had. I suppose to someone else,
it might seem relatively simple. But lately, these simple days have become a source
of inspiration. Yesterday, I went to my Tai Chi class; we secured another section of Master
Chen's form today, one in which I'd been having some trouble with in application. My teacher
is knowledgeable and sensitive...

thanks for the welcome 
I'm writing this because I know noone will probably read it,
and then it will be gone forever. I am nearly paralysed with
unhappiness. I've lost all the hours this week from my job;
they didn't even call to tell me, I had to walk to work and
find out by asking. They gave my nightime hours to some-
one 6 years younger than me,...
