Hey Guys smile.gif

I managed to sprain my wrist at Karate last night, which as you all know, is not going to be beneficial to playing the guitar ! mad.gif

So, I wondered how many of you have hobbies, jobs or some other activity which sometimes puts you at risk of injury.. but you still do it because you either love it or you have to ? smile.gif

Spoken like a true Zen master, zen biggrin.gif

Well, hopefully, if I find the time soon enough, I'll start practicing iaido. I have a HUGE obsession for swords, swordsmanship and japanese culture.

In case any of you guys have no clue about iaido, take a look:



those things are sharper than anything in this world biggrin.gif but it's all about the inner balance, self control and attention to detail which attracts me the most (besides the shiny swords) tongue.gif

I could not find thlink ,but on KPTS I watched a special on the making of a samuri sword , and it was cool
a true samuri sword will sell these days for six figures and in the old days they rated them 1 2 3 4 or a 5 ( this refers to how many torso's it could cut in one swing)and in this a real samuri-sliced an arrow shoot at him in two(freakin awsome)oh ya they showed it in slow motion and he did!

any way back to the theme of this thread
does having 1 wife ,2 boys , and 5 daughters count as living life dangerously ohmy.gif

As I wrote a little earlier biggrin.gif you should check out a thing or two about a famous blade, forged in the 13th century if I'm not mistaken, by the swordsmith Masamune. The blade is called Honjo, and it still exists today. It also has a beautiful legend sown around it smile.gif look for it biggrin.gif
