What Did I Learn This Weekend?

1. I got Yang's book (recommended by Tim Peterson Laoshi), Taijiquan, Art of Nurturing, Science of Power, in which I learned that:




• I have been thinking about qi breathing wrong all my life (I've suspected this for a couple months now).


• I need to practice wuji more.




2. The Mountain View library has a lot of great movies.


3. I am a fan of the MMA fighter Фëдор Владимирович Емельяненко, who is a badass in the classic Russian style.


4. For my second barefoot run, I stepped it up to 2.5 miles, resulting in sore calves and hurting soles but still no debilitating ankle or knee pain.


5. Leaving a bike in my yard, even under the eaves, will result in the chain rusting.


6. Eating a lot of beets one day might make you worry briefly that something is very wrong with you the next day.


7. If you make a tv show on ustream at 2am in which you do nothing but play an egg shaker while yellow text reading "AIN'T NO DAMN SHOW" scrolls over your face, nobody will watch you.


8. Visiting friends are an excellent, almost irresistible, excuse to drop a lot of change at the bike shop.
