Nid wy’n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na’i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.
Chorus
Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na’r lili dlos:
Does ond calon lân all ganu
Canu’r dydd a chanu’r nos.
Pe dymunwn olud bydol,
Hedyn buan ganddo sydd;
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.
Chorus
Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Gwyd i’r nef ar edyn cân
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.
Chorus
……ffarwél Nian
Well today I am slightly less physically/emotionally/mentally shattered, And starting to feel more like my old self…
I put it down to a training session that was basically some tai chi, ba gua, and a talk on spiritual stuff, and random spiritual stuff…
Anyway..
I went to Spain. It was Hot, and way too sunny for my liking…
I drank too much, ate too much (But did try some new foods), soaked in the local culture, and the cute Spanish dancers. And overall tried to avoid the big burny thing in the sky (I was not overly successful as my arms and face are more skin colored than normal), and other such normal holiday stuff…
And then….
Shit happened!!!!
On the day before I was due to come home, I received a phone call informing my my Nian (Grandmother) had died. Got home to find out some black sheep’s of the family had been fighting over her possessions as her body lay there waiting to be removed. One of my nephews tripped into some broken glass, and had to spend Monday in hospital for x-rays and stitches, and then my sister was involved in a car crash, possibly totaling my mothers car that she was driving at the time….
Great 4 days…….
So there you have it!!!
Well I am back in work after my week away. And I’m wishing I had taken two weeks off…
Damn, jet-lag, lack of sleep, and stress…
I’ll do a proper update tomorrow when I am more awake and with it…
Deep Thoughts For Those Who Take Life Too Seriously
1. Save the whales. Collect the whole set.
2. A day without sunshine is like… night.
3. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
4. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
5. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
6. Remember, half the people you know are below average.
7. He who laughs last thinks slowest.
8. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
9. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
10. Support bacteria. They’re the only culture some people have.
11. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
12. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
13. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
14. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.
15. OK, so what’s the speed of dark?
16. When everything is coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
17. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
18. Every one has a photographic memory. Some just don’t have film.
19. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?
20. Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.
21. What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
22. “I couldn’t repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.”
23. Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
24. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.
25. Just remember – if the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off.
26. Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright… until you hear them speak.
Argghh…..
I forgot to mention what occurred on sunday in my previous post, Although I did receive a congratulation from pete anyway :0)
Well I was sitting my Ichi Kyu of kobudo Shinden Kihon Kata Yosei.
Which is a statement that is completely meaningless to probably all bar . But means I have now finished that syllabus completely, and now get to move on the the next phase of becoming a Jedi. Soon I get to play again with the sharp pointy weapons of joy….
And relax…
Anyway… due to none of my normal training partners being at the dojo, or busy confusing people by giving directions in Japanese… So I got to use NinjaM as a partner, which is the first time I have ever trained with him, which was interesting. And i now understand the statement of “i like throwing NinjaM, he bounces well” for it seams a lot easier doing the patterns with him, Its hard to describe but he flows well… Although there was the slight incident during Hagai Jimi Gaeshi When I accidental rear-head butted him to the chin, but these things are sent to try us…
So go me!!
!nn!
Not done a weekend review for a while, so here goes.
Saturday
Saturday was spent shopping, or traipsing around way too many shops, trying to find a pair of clip-on sunglasses that did not look stupid, or at least fitted. I failed miserably at this simple task, so reconciled myself by going out for some drinks in the evening. Ok that did not help with the need for sunglasses, but it takes the edge off :0)
Sunday
Sunday was mainly spent training. (OK, I lie).
Well, I had a lie in, so got up, dressed, grabbed a quick breakfast and it was time to go to the dojo. Where I expected to be for the normal 4/5 hours of training/grading we normally do. But instead we had just an hours training, then straight onto the gradings, and we finished several hours before we would normally do. So it was argued since we were supposed to be busy until 5, that there was nothing wrong with ignoring stuff that needed doing, and a trip to the pub was in order :0)
So that wasted time for a bit, then off to ‘s for a coffee and a chat to for a bit, and off home, where i did nothing for a bit before watching a film, and crashing out of the sofa.
