Last night was my first class with a yellow belt on. It felt different. The belt was brand new and I was able to get it real tight. In my head it was different too. I had a stronger desire to do well and cut better. In fact my arm was fairly sore after. Plus I got a bit more respect in class. I was part of the bows given before and after class. You could feel the static in the air. It was an awesome feeling.
At some points of my training I didn't think I could do the moves they asked for. Eventually I got more in shape and understood what was being said. I guess I'm still impressed that I can do these things when my mind is put to it.
On an off topic, got to use a bike messenger for the 1st time. Long sad story about data recovery of an old hard drive... It finally needed to go to a place to be worked on. The file copy was taking too long, so I thought to have it delievered to my office when done. There was a messenger service upstairs. It cost about the same as a can service. Too bad the dude wasn't allowed up to our office floor. The building has it's own courier guys. So instead "Creepy Guy" brought me my hard drive. Never a dull moment in the city.
