Things and Stuff
There, a really descriptive title for my first blog post in July. My life has been very busy and filled with awesomeness, sadness, pain and a whole bunch of other things. I am not entirely sure where I want to start with everything, so I guess I will start with the sadness:
I spent some time with my family in The Netherlands, just a week, I was there to watch my youngest half-sister get baptised. Truth be told, I don't feel much of a connection with her, even-though she is supposed to be my sister. Maybe I missed the memo or something along the lines. The sadness that comes is because I was there for only a week. I enjoy spending time with my cousins, my grandparents and being in The Netherlands in general. Different country entirely, different people, different atmosphere, it was good to get out of Arizona.
The pain is the amount of Kung Fu I have been doing lately. I have been attempting to the fully be able to do the the 5 animals form, and the long fist form. During Kung Fu class at school I pulled an inner thigh muscle and sprained my ankle. No matter it hurting a whole lot, I decided yesterday (Saturday) to practice Kung Fu when I woke up in the morning. I did 4 parts of the 9 times power chi gong exercises, then I tried to go through the 5 animals form. Lets just say that my ankle disagreed, the pain was tremendous. I took some Aleve and went back to sleep. It was not pleasant though. As of right now my ankle still hurts. I am wearing my boots because it gives me more support than normal shoes.
The awesomeness is that finally the parts came in for Near Space so we have started building all the different parts, started writing code and in general have started working on getting this thing ready to launch. There is still a lot that needs to be done, but at least it is moving in the right direction.
More awesomeness is the fact that I finally sorted out some issues internally, emotional baggage that I was carrying around. Most of that stems from the fact that I have a major crush on one girl that goes to UAT, and crushes on two others. Yes, that is three total. Not only that, but someone I thought I was done and everything was over with walked back into my life in a major way. I waste too many brain cycles thinking about what-ifs. I have dreams about the girl I have a major crush on, not entirely sure what that means. Then again some of the dreams I have are really out there in terms of what is viable and what is not.
Other things that I have been doing, I have learned how to use a sewing machine, so I have been clothes hacking. I moved some pockets from the front of some shirts to the arm, I had multiple shirts in different colours, so I took a grey shirt and moved the pocket to a black shirt's sleeve and stitched it on there with some white thread. The seam looks awesome. I am also kind of proud of myself, I learned a new skill.
