I'll give you a holla again soon.

If any of you are on it , add a brother.

[CaptinPickAxe]

Sorry, bout that... wasn't really expecting your call and I have this thing where I don't answer numbers I don't know. If you call anytime around 6pm-10pm Central Standard, I'll pick up.

I'm working on a MySpace account this very second, too.

[Kristoffer]

dangdiddely

I was recording last night. I realized my gear is crappier than I thought. I just can't get it to sound good. I'm disapointed coz it just sounds like crap. The 'green men' track was pretty grimey itself but ur beat is so clear and so good that I can't pass off my poor quality on it :(

so it's completely back to the drawing board for me..

[Mizri]

Perseverance.
Hope all is well otherwize.
Peace folks.

[Mizri]

[dwid]

Wow, I haven't posted on KFO for like 2 years, and it hasn't changed much at all.

This thread is still going, for example.

Weird, wild stuff.

Anyone hear from formercastleva lately?

[Kristoffer]

Hi. I don't have internet in my new place so I'm not around much. And this thread isn't really that active.
I have some contact with Castleva on msn these days. He's not in to any martial arts but mostly music and shows like McGuyver.

Hi Kristoffer, thanks for the reply.

That's weird (McGuyver, I mean). Well, to be honest, since starting grad school, I haven't been doing much MA, other than occasionally practicing the Bagua I already know.

Anyway, pass on a hello to Castleva for me.

[Kristoffer]

yeah sure Ill do that

[CaptinPickAxe]

Remember:
You and the Captin can make it happen....if you're a fit chick

I dont have internet in my new place so I'm ice-olated from important stuff like gaming sites

[Mizri]

I miss sand and sea. joo know.

[Kristoffer]

no doubt. its not even spring here..

[dwid]

I'm drunk, so here's some poetry...

A lonely leaf


A lonely leaf floats gentle on the breeze,
Caress of moon provides a subtle glow.
A refugee from elder, solemn trees
Who beckons thoughts away where dreamers go.
And ours was just a momentary meeting,
A chance “coincidance” on this cool night.
And like all things, this moment, it is fleeting –
My mind so often supercedes my sight.
A lesson learned in span of easy breath,
But for its short duration no less real –
How angry, stubborn men die many deaths,
And never learn to see, or hear, or feel.
But students of the ever changing wind
Who bend a thousand ways but never break,
Who see the puzzle piece with which we’re pinned,
But ne’er succumb to fight for fighting’s sake
Can emulate this simple windborne leaf,
Who’s maybe not so lonely after all.
Escapee from the prison known as grief,
Who learned to fly by forgetting how to fall.

Why is it so hard to stop?
To see the forest, we miss the trees.
Attention spans like soda cans,
We hitchhikers on honeybees.
For pausing doesn’t win the race,
But maybe gives a moment’s rest
To question why the wretched pace,
That sterilizes every nest.
So birds of every feather start,
A blinding field of countless hues –
Are bled unto some shades of gray;
To equalize we all must lose.
And yet all this, a grain of sand,
That looms because it blocks the eye,
And all it takes is but a hand,
To let the awful vision die.
A handful of such hands I’ve known,
But they could only plant the seed.
The message I had to infer,
From wind’s sweet whisper through the reeds.
And once inferred, the letting go,
Like severing of hardened roots –
To free the essence, liquid being.
To taste a million different fruits.

I watched the sunset’s beauteous dance,
The clouds were gilded with fading light,
And passed through red and purple to gray,
As day passed into moonlit night.
And time, thought I, reflected here
Stakes each part to its proper place.
We cannot trust, and so we fear,
And try like mad to beat time’s pace.
But we, as motes caught in the wind
Can flail and struggle all our days,
And all we gain is what we lose,
For time is measured many ways.
So often have I sighed aloud,
Embittered by my soul’s decay,
As life stands still, a rancid pool,
And day fades into numbing day.
If I could just awaken then –
Tear through this “dream within a dream,” –
And see with eyes fixed here and now,
It might not so unseemly seem.
Why must we all sleepwalk so,
And only wake for glances?
Illuminations just a glow,
Whose rarity romances.
I watched the sunset’s beauteous dance,
It fades like my convictions.
And time shines through this joke on me,
Reveals my truths as fictions.

[dwid]

Wow, my drunken posting of poetry killed this thread I think.

No posts in over a week.

Sorry guys....

[jethro]

but this forum now has more than 1 thread:eek:

[CaptinPickAxe]

That jackhammer is so real...

[Vash]

. . . Quien es mas macho, mi amigos?

[Banjos_dad]

y la respuesta es, Ricardo Montalban. Si, el Ricardo Montalban es el mas macho.

why should this forum not be on the brink of death? i thought the name of the site was "Kung Fu Magazine.com" if a tree falls in the forest and noone is there to notice, does it make a sound at all?

answer: *Yes, but only squirrels are there to hear it.* lol

[Kristoffer]

are u calling me a squirrel?

[Vash]

Truth.

Of course, we understand that Okinawa karate is the ONLY answer . . .

btw, ST107, could you post a link to your music page again? Somehow, it (and over half my bookmarks) disappeared. And I do so hate not having quality tune-age.

[Vash]

Whoah, after this post, it's 202 posts till we hit 10,000.

[Banjos_dad]

you are no more a squirrel than this forum is a tree.

*cough* benefitofthedoubt

lol

[Kristoffer]

I kinda always wanted to be a squirrel though. no seriosly, atleast when I was a kid. That dream slowly faded away.. Guess I should celebrate then.


So, Brink of Death Crew how is ur summers?

[Banjos_dad]

we are finally getting into our rainy season here. it rains mainly in the summer. it's the best time of year imo. and it means that the new crop of green chiles will be ready pretty soon . yum


i always wanted to be some kind of a bird, because they can fly.

[Starchaser107]

It's Summer and that's all that it needs to be.
LEO'S RULE!!!

Oh my bad wrong forum. :)

Awesome, thanks.

CPA, where's yours? Losing bookmarks is teh sux0rz.

[Kristoffer]

Banjo - chili? I kinda like rain too but if anyone around here knew they would decapitate me considering we finally got some decent sun goin.

V - is it this one u mean? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pageartist.cfm?bandID=90908 maybe he has more..

[Banjos_dad]

hey Kristoffer, yeah everyone here pretty much hopes for all the rain we can get, all year round. I am orig from Oregon and northern California with some time in Hawaii (waikiki and Kailua) so i am a child of the rain, it could rain every day and i'd be cool with it. here we get a measly 12" a year or so in Alb, more in the mountains. still not enough.
picture of some nice green chiles (http://planet.tvi.edu/nade2005/Homepage_included_pages/MSS_chile2_270x178.jpg)

we call it chile here, the raw material. 'chili,' like they spend so much time on in texas (cook-offs etc), is a dish made using chiles as a secondary ingredient, plus meat, beans, tomatos, cumin etc. the two terms are so close though it doesn't matter how you say it they are interchangeable here.

like kung fu, it doesn't matter so much how you spell it, as much getting the desired effect. quan/chuan/kuen etc.

great, now i am starving. haven't eaten anything all day so i am out of here to go eat something. maybe a green chile cheeseburger.
** went to the Burger King in the Phoenix AZ airport some years back and asked for green chile on my burger, i figured i was close enough to home and the culture there was close enough that they would do that there too, but no. the wank at the register looked at me like i was from outer space lol. I guess when you make a living repeating **** into the mic at the airport slop chute, you've gotta jump on any opportunity for feeling better than someone else lol. just like when you live in alb, you have to point out how another town actually sucks more than ours does cough *phoenix* lmao, opportunities to do that are few and far between.

[Kristoffer]

hehe ok I see. I like rain but the kind of storms we get here are ridiculous. As long as u dress rights it's no problem. The climate up here is too cold to produce chili I guess.
And u just reminded me how hungry I was...

[Starchaser107]

I too am hungry

[Banjos_dad]

i am hungry about half the time.

it stopped raining here :mad:

we need more posts here unless you all want the shaolin-do controversy to surpass it in length.

this is in Other Related ARts, isn't it?

okay who likes to throw shuriken/'throwing stars'?
what is the best way you have found to throw them? i have tried throwing them with an inside->out motion (like a frisbee) but don't get a lot of power from that. I have also thrown them overhand, like a baseball, this gets good power and accuracy but then my elbow hurts pretty bad for a couple of days afterward,
btw, my stars are the unsharpened, stamped kind. i figure if i can stick the unsharpened ones into a wood target, that represents a sufficiently powered throw in that a sharpened one would do damage on flesh.

any thoughts or suggestions?? thanks in advance...

[Starchaser107]

Ok , Well Since It's Other "related Arts"
Then I Guess It's Ok To Mention Performing Arts , Such As The Hip Hop Show I'm Involved In Tommorrow. I Heard We're Cashing With This Big Dj'ing Event Up In Boulder Though But Hopefully We Still Get A Good Turnout.
I Can't Throw Stars, But My Sifu Was Good At Throwing Knives And Stars... Sorry I Know That's Not Of Much Use.
I Never Really Had Much Of A Taste For Missiles Or Projectiles Sharpened Or Of The Explosive Nature. I Prefer To Bludgeon, Bash, Hack And Slash My Way Through Things.

[Banjos_dad]

any feedback is worth something.
hand to hand is great but i like the long range techniques as well. Throwing a sharpened projectile at another animal is a serious thing in any context so I can see how some would be put off by that, it's all good. i just know there have to be some other martial artists online here also interested in the use of edged projectiles. just sort of as a sideline.

nothing delivers the message like a hand or foot technique to the noggin imo. That is where the attitude lives so i always like to target the melon lol. Not that there is anything wrong with a good strong shot to the belly :D

good luck with the dj show, i hope it goes well

[Starchaser107]

I respect the skill it takes to throw something , aim and hit something from long distances and so forth. That's great hand eye co-ordination. Actually human brainwaves change to a meditative state when focusing on targets like that. There were studies done on sharpshooters (rifles) and Archers both exhibited this tendency to go into superconsciousness while focusing on thier targets.
I've just never felt the desire to do things that way.

Oh and I'm gonna be emceeing at a different show , I was just saying that our shows clashed.
Anyway thanks much.

I'm sure somebody somewhere is offering a seminar about the thing you seek.
Happy hunting.
Good Luck.

[Kristoffer]

nice, rip that ****

I tryed to learn throwing knifes once but the knifes I used were crap. thats my excuse and Im stickin to it

[Banjos_dad]

i do a lot of long range shooting myself. I keep that totally separate from fighting though, because so many people here die from unnecessary gunshot wounds. Being proficient with guns is something like CPR, something that is good to know but you hope you will never ever need to put into practice.
I did a little hunting as a kid and i have had my fill of seeing things expire prematurely, needlessly. i am a buddhist now, a bad buddhist but sincere enough anyway. trying to find the middle way.

can we talk about food or music now?
yum, yummy food. My gf has developed quite a sushi habit, something i never would have tried on my own, i usually have some nice teriyaki chicken or nega-make, but i have actually tried some california rolls (beginner sushi for skeptics lol) and ****ed if i don't kind of like it. I like tempura a lot too, but i worry about what all that breaded & deep fried stuff is doing to my insides. i'm at the age where you start to think about wys to prolong your lifespan :D

[Vash]

teh good stuff.

First day back from vacation. Ate high-dollar food, ice cream, shakes, pizza, and a beautiful woman :o

Work sucks. Responsibility sucks. College sucks. Send me back to vacation-land.

[Starchaser107]

We ripped the show. The very small crowd that was there enjoyed it. Jeeez it's a start. Colorado isn't famous for it's hip hop scene or support but the heads that came through gave us good feedback.

Speaking of food, I've developed a tase for fajitas recently and have taken to making my own. It all started one afternoon @ Chili's with my wife. Now I can't stop myself.:p

When Banjo said : "Being proficient with guns is something like CPR, something that is good to know but you hope you will never ever need to put into practice." I had to agree. I want to learn how to use firearms but I don't want to keep one in my home.

Has anyone ever seen Lord of War, with Nicholas Cage. That was a good movie.

More news in the lates.

[Kristoffer]

V I feel u on the subject working. All for the greens I tell u.
Sushi is getting old. Its too expensive for me these days. I get no student loans on summers so I have to work like a slave to get that rent done. I could work up alot of cash but I feel I need as much free time as possible concidering Im stuck with studies the rest of the year. So Im goin half speed I guess. One month ''vacaition'' from training too... thats' the bad part.

yo good to hear u rippin that btw

[Banjos_dad]

yum, fajitas. The Cadillac of soft tacos! :D yum.

[Kristoffer]

yeah fajitas is the ****. falafel is, too

[Former castleva]

Hey. I came to honor you.

[Kristoffer]

Nice havin u around. Keep that gym thing goin

[GreenCloudCLF]

It's sad how a thread titled "This forum is on the brink of death..." hasn't been touched in over 2 months:(

[doug maverick]

well the thread is almost ten years old. people are bound to run out of **** to say. if u read through this thread you will fnd so much **** people talked about that this thread should be the official OT. board.
