Moving back to Blogger

Hey guys - If you’ve been following me here and wish to keep following my scattered thoughts (for what it’s worth, ya know), please check out my new (old-revamped) blog: http://noonlightnotes.blogspot.com/

I’ll most likely be retiring this Tumblr in the nearish future, so just a heads up now in case it disappears.  ;)

11 Self-Defense Techniques (That Even A Child Could Use)

[xxxkyrareaperxxx-deactivated201]

These are great! These are all really useful methods of defending yourself and I actually learned most of these in my Krav Maga classes. 

I would have to go up against people (usually guys) twice my size and could easily overpower me, but these tricks DO work and they don’t require a lot of strength.

So, I was sitting in a meeting last week, daydreaming as I sometimes do, and...I wouldn’t call it a light bulb moment exactly, but it seemed clear, inarguable, that writing is my thing.  I’ve been searching for “something” for a long, long, long while, and all I did was circle back to that.  Which is weird, because I haven’t exactly had much success writing (fiction), or much motivation.  But it’s my thing, somehow. 

With that said, Camp Nanowrimo starts in less than a week.  My project is to finish my November novel, and I have just five days to figure out how exactly it ends.

I like wearing big shirts bc it’s like, do I have a 6 pack? Idk. Am I overweight? Could be. Did I just wake up? Probably. You’ll never know.

Fort Point, Greenwich Island: We anchored next to the majestic, 184 foot (56 meter) Bark Europa.

Europa was built in 1911, has three masts with 26 sails and is crewed by 16 plus 48 trainees (passengers). Seeing the 100+ year old wooden ship brought the early polar explorers to mind and the challenges they faced.

Almost 200 years ago, Edward Bransfield and William Smith surveyed the South Shetland Islands (1819-1820) while aboard a 3-masted frigate named the Williams.

It was an amazing sight.
