Stupid Gi

I pull a clean, white pair of gi pants out of the dryer; run upstairs to change my clothes. And I get a knock on the door from Aunt Flo. Run back downstairs to grab my black pants. And the string had come out. So now I'm ten minutes late for class and on my third attempt at restringing my pants.

My conversation with my brother who is 6'1" Me: "Oh dude!" Him: "What?" Me: "I wonder if I can kick your head level!" *kicks like two inches from his face* Me: "I can!" He gave me such a weird look then proceeded to try (and fail) to kick my head level.

I jammed my thumb at karate and it wasn't even of those "ah man I landed my jump spinning hook kick wrong and rolled my ankle" kinda injuries it was a "I did one of the most basic punches slightly wrong, had my thumb misplaced and jammed it on the sensei's arm" kinda injury.

That moment after a bad day when I come home and put my gi pants on and go look at martial arts blogs online instead of normal people wearing pajamas and watching TV.

Rounding

I hate rounding during exercising because I was doing squats and I was doing 240 to celebrate the anniversary of the Marine Corps and then I'm like well 240 is close enough to 300 so I ended up doing 300 and squats and now my legs are dead.
