I know, I know, I'm a horrible blogger. I've neglected my blogging duties for over a week now, leaving everyone wondering how I'm doing, what I'm up to, and how many extra push-ups I've had to do. Ok, maybe not, but I still feel neglectful so decided I have to post today no matter what.
Unfortunately, there's not too much to say. I finished my first No Video Games week without too many uncontrollable cravings. I think the very fact that I wasn't allowed to play made me want to even more, because there were some moments I was ready to call the whole thing off just to log a few hours on WoW. With some support, however, I managed to stay on the wagon and haven't even played yet this week either.
In other news, I have completed a few monthly chores and have plans to complete the rest with time to spare. I'm well into my current book, Play Money: Or, How I Quit My Day Job and Made Millions Trading Virtual Loot. When I finish it, I'll post a short review, but I can already say it's a must read for anyone into online gaming or with an interest in macroeconomics or virtual worlds. I also have a Kung Fu tournament and Black Belt Banquet coming up this weekend, which should provide plenty of photo ops. I'll post more on those events as they come to pass, along with any pictures that turn out well enough to share.
That's about it for now. Unless anything major happens, my next post will probably be post-tournament, so wish me luck! I'm hoping to compete in kung fu forms, tai chi forms, and sparring. Last year I did pretty well, but I expect the competition to be even stiffer this year since I'll be in the 2nd degree and up division in several events. Anyway, it should be a good time and I'm looking forward to it! If you're in the area and interested in coming to watch, just let me know, or go here for more info: http://www.austinkungfu.com/2008springfest.asp

You should add a yearly or eventual goal to find a partner or two and choreograph your own demo at the next big tournament. See Fist of Legend's dojo scene for a good idea (if you can get that many white belts to help out).
You are not a horrible blogger, your grammar is too good for that descriptor.
How was the tournament? I tried to make it out, but were against me, I found a $199 round trip...for this coming weekend, but the cheapest I could find for last weekend was nearly $400.
