Today was my last day instructing and training taekwondo at Chicago Martial Arts for this summer, and I won’t be back for about four months or so until January when I’m on winter break (I might be back for one or two days during the week of Thanksgiving if I’m lucky and I’m able to get back home on time). It’s slightly depressing because I’ve been training four days a week for the past three months, and I haven’t missed a single class, so it’s become a significant part of my daily routine.

If you live near Mundelein, Illinois, USA by any chance and are interested in training taekwondo or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, check out our website and request a free trial. All levels of experience are welcome, and you can try it out to see if you like it. If you do like it and choose to enroll, you might even see me back in January 2012, and depending on which class you enroll in, I might even be your instructor or your classmate.

I’m catching up on old posts today.

Topic #227: Hemingway once wrote a super short story: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” What story can you write in six words?

The dog sat on the porch.

… Not quite as good as Hemingway’s, but I guess you could still consider it a story.

Topic #228: Try to think about nothing, for as long as you can. What happens? Describe it in a short post.

When I try to think about nothing, random thoughts start creeping into my mind that are related to what my senses are picking up at that moment. For example, if I’m able to hear my own breathing, I think about my breathing and its rhythm and volume. If I’m able to sense movement, I think about where it’s coming from and what it could possibly be. Also, I know for a fact that this is normal, as your brain was made to think, not to sit idly. Even when you are sleeping, your brain is thinking, which is why you dream.

Topic #229: Have you been to where your parents were born?

No.
