"Did you tackle that trouble that came your way
With a resolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, a trouble's a ton, or a trouble's an ounce,
Or a truoble is what you make it.
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,
But only HOW DID YOU TAKE IT?"

I would also like to maby be able to compete in some small powerlifting compotitions if I can drop my weight and keep and improve my strength to be competitive.

I hate teking time off. Trying to pull things out of the back of the mind can be tough. I just got my padded sword for our sparring and should have my bokken soon to start learning my sword kata.
Hey man, sorry haven't gotten back to you. been busy with my school and competitions. Nothing big to report as far as pt goes. That's a part of my life that's been bitter sweet. wouldn't really recommend it to anyone starting later in life. Most pt go on to manage or own, etc they don't stay a pt. those that do are kinda scary (all competative and shiesty).
