Californian Sojourn

Bryan Henderson

You have my respect.

Hat tip to Da Goddess.

Almost......THERE!

Yes, it has been a long fight but I am almost ready to come back to the blogosphere. Just a couple more days once I get off this dang generator and onto real power from that lovely company Edison.

Bear with me people, my return is nigh.

If You've Been Wonderin...

I've been a moving over the past couples day and in addition I now live in a trailer on the property we just got ahold of (while the house is being built) and I have no electricity no net connection for a couple more days. Once I'm back, I'll be back and with avengance!

That and my Lakers got SPANKED! What the hell? This is one damn hard team to root for!

Lakers Win And I Got A Headache!

Game 2, Lakers take it to the edge and finally put it away in overtime! I tell you, I haven't yelled and hollered like that consistently through a game in a LONG time. It's amazing what being on the edge of some bad situations will do to a fan...

That and once again, Kobe is the MAN. Yea he's got his problems off-court but this guy is the king on-court. What a clutch player.

Update: Roger Simon has his thoughts along with a picture of the dagger just before it goes into the Piston's heart.

A Somber Procession

Todd over at Libertas was at the Reagan library today and on his way there he took a picture of the funeral procession as it passed along the 118 Ronald Reagan freeway. See this post for picture and his comments. See also this post for more thoughts from Todd on our former president.

LG: A Cult's Initiation

Party Pooper has an unbelievable story about the LG "trainee program." It's mind-boggling to say the least.

Been Looking Through The Japanese Blogs...

And have found them to be much different than Korean based blogs. I am not exactly sure why but they come with a much different tone and their apperance also varies a lot from blogs elsewhere. That and a LOT of them focus on picture taking (the Japanese past time has infected the various Gai-jins!). So anyways I came across this picture and felt the need to post it. To think it isn't edited in anyway.

Well I am trying to post more items from Japanese blogs but I also find it rather difficult to come across social or political posts. Most are strickly personal for some reason.

A Picture I Like

I posted about this young lady, Youn Ja-kyung, sometime ago but came upon her recently again and found this picture.

Found it quite beautiful, really reflecting how martial arts and such can have such grace, a grace not only reserved for dance. I'm curious though what this stance (if a stance or is it rather a movement?) is called in ‘Haedong Gumdo?’ Anyone knowledgable on the subject?

And Already The Disrespect Begins

As noted here in the Corner, CBS and NBC are showing sports currently. A president has died and they show sports. Forgive me if I find this bullsh*t and a major disrespect to the former president. This country really is in big trouble and it is an incredible irony that the time in which a great president has passed on is the same time we need such a man to lead us out of the darkness of our own self-doubt and destruction.

President Ronald Reagan: R.I.P.

One of our greatest leaders and the man who led this nation through some of the most difficult times this country has faced, has passed on. He was certainly an extraordinary man and he allowed freedom of democracy to flourish unlike any other.

He will be missed and what he did for this country should never be forgotten.
