So I don't know if you know this, but I take Tae Kwon Do (A form of martial arts). And yesterdsay during class we were sparring (free-form fighting). And not to brag, but I'm a pretty good fighter. I'm no Bruce Lee, but you won't be able to take me down easily in a fight, but something I've learned growing up is that no matter how good you are, there is always someone better then you, somewhere out there. So lets recap on what I've said so far, I talked about how I'm a pretty good martial artist, and I've also talked about how there will always be someone better then you. If you put the two together, then you probably know where I'm going with this. Yes, as much as I hate to admit it, yesterday I was pwned by a fellow sparrer. Honestly, I was surprised, as the person who fought me was a lower belt then I was! Its rare, but not impossible, to find a novice who fights like Chuck Norris, and during my entire Tae Kwon Do career, I've only met two people who are "gifted" in martial arts. It was a heated battle, and I didn't come out victoriously.In fact, all I came out with pain, and bruises. To give you a better picture, think about the beginning of Rocky IV, where Apollo Creed boxes Ivan Drago, and Drago beats Apollo up so badly, that he actually died in the ring, thus creating the plot for the rest of the movie. So now I'm thinking bout changing my name top Apollo Xie. Ok, I'll admit, my sparring match wasn't as brutal as Rocky IV, and Rocky unfortunately won't be traveling to Russia to avenge my death, but you guys get the picture. So the morale of this story is, don't be cocky, cause theres always someone better then you, you don't have to be Asian to be a great martial artist, and the Rocky series is one of the best movie series of all time. (Seriously, go watch it)

This Post Has No Life, But a Little ADD
So earlier today my grandpa's flight touch downed at DFW International at five in the morning. Its nice to have some company since I have nothing else better to do with my time, and he brought alot of stuff from Indonesia, so thats cool too. But now my entire house is full of food, baggage, and a bunch of other stuff, so its like really hard to get around now. I also just finished eating lunch. Still, I wish school would start. I'm really looking forward to eighth grade, I'll get a chance to see everyone again, I'll have my life back, I'll get to see Caroline, lol :D, and I'm also looking forward to being on FWCTV with Brady, Savannah, Mrs. Smith, and whoever's over 7th and 6th grade reporter (Sorry! I don't remember who they are.) So yeah, during the summer, I have no life and I basically spend most of my days on Facebook (yeah I know, you're probably really surprised eh?) or playing Counter Strike (great game!). But for the rest of the year, I'm still that lovable and sometimes slightly annoying Asian kid who was probably the first and only person to go ballistic on camera. By the way, saw The Godfather yesterday, and please do a like/dislike thing about me. Pretty please?

Bored Outta My Mind
As kids, we enjoyed taking field trips with our parents to visit their workplaces, have their co-workers continualy comment on how handsome you are (or beautiful if your a girl), and explore a new enviroment thats foreign to your pre-k self. Yup, those were during the happy days of playing all day and naptime. Well those days are over, and now we live in a time where everyone enjoys LOLing and that's what she said jokes, so the last place a teenager would want to be at now is their parent's workplace. Unless your parents have a cool job, like as a Stunt Person, or an Astronaut, being where they spend eight hours a day isan't very fun. Your alone with no friends, your cut off from the outside world, your basically a prisoner to sum everything up. Now your probably wondering where I'm going with this, well I'm actually blogging from my dad's Subway near the school (the one off of Highway 820) and let me tell you this, its like The Shawshank Redemption, except without Morgan Freeman :( and its terrible over here. I apologize for this post not being funny, and I also apoligize for it not having my usual Asian jokes, but my mind is currently bound to the chains of boredom, and American Industrilazation (or however you spell it) but don't worry, I promise my future posts will be funnier and more optimistic.
