"I always had the intention of giving good lessons, serving as example, correcting other people’s mistakes. But then I realized I had more defects than the people I advised. I began scrutinizing myself, digging deep inside my soul, correcting myself before correcting others. Thus I discovered all that I ended up writing in theses notes. I found out I’m the worst fellow I have ever met. I’m a thief, a criminal… Not that I have committed any of these crimes, but I have thought of so doing, and to me that’s enough. If I think, I am."

- From Gracie Mag

Wow - sounds like...... philosophy!!! (even though its skewed - if you think: you are a thought - if you feel: you know)

Oh my god no, say it aint so Joe. White Sox scandal or worse.

Hey Tim, you ever try teaching this kinda stuff to the quire?

Hey Jack,

"Hey Tim, you ever try teaching this kinda stuff to the quire?"

Only on Sundays.

Tim, is your school open on Sundays? You are the Sunday school teacher, no?

Hombre,

Do you mean my school or my School?

I teach martial arts. I live my life.

My students practice (and some teach) martial arts. They live their lives.

But they all sing the same song.

Go figure...

Rugged individualists I guess?

Wait a minute - Aren't you guys living your lives together because of all the time spent practicing?

That old man is mean, I want to be that cantankerous at 90, I want big strong children, then I'll slap them! Sounds like a great life!
