Well - I'm Back!

Time to do some ranting via video!

Have you lost you? Where is True North?

Have you lost you? Have you lost your center with the day to day bullshit of our incredibly f**ked up world? Forgive me ranting, but those people who know me best know that I have a tendency to do this. Why? Because I LIKE TO! If you are not into reading this one then please change channels here :) Now this is not a negative essay, I am actually going to talk about getting your center back when the events of the day have knocked you away from true north in your life.

Today as I was drinking a morning coffee I was looking at the news on my playbook. I do this mostly for tech news, but I saw that Iran and England are both having a little temper tantrum and not talking to each other anymore. I am going to take my toys and go home! OK, who gives a shit! I don't really. If Iran wants to play my dick is bigger than your dick then go for it! KARMA is absolute, so what ever they do will come back on them. Like nuclear fallout from the creation of weapons nobody needs? Well enough of my rant, lets get back to center shall we? What does any of this matter? The drama's of other people or other countries really does not have any effect on your life at this moment and it is this moment that counts! If Iran is stupid enough to want to destroy the world there is nothing YOU or I are going to do about it. So why let it affect our lives?

Each day we encounter problems, problems at work, at home and at play. There problems are often due to OTHER PEOPLES DRAMA, so don't take them to heart. Let them suffer in their own worthless lives. Why am I so harsh on this? Because you will always get what you focus on (karma again) and nothing is more important than being alive and being happy and I personally am not going to let any country, politician, priest or person take that from me. If they are unhappy it is because they CHOSE TO BE. We can use our thoughts to create our world, or we can let other peoples thoughts dictate ours and make us miserable.

As I sit here and write this my birdie is complaining because I am eating and she is not. She wants my mango. As small as her brain is compared to mine she is the smart one. She just wants to be loved and enjoy her life. Too bad 'people' are not that wise.

Judgement Day May 21st 2011 and other BULLSHIT

Well I don't write here often. I have found a much better pastime. It is called LIFE. But today I will add my 2 cents in, on the eve of what many are calling Judgment Day. Well when I think back over the many years I have been on this earth it seems there have been so many, many different prophecies of the end of the world. Well, we are still here.

Some nutcase by the name of Harold Camping is calling for the end and says it is biblical. Hmmm, wonder which translation he found that date in? Maybe his own. Funny but since the world is ending I wonder why his organization - Family Radio.Com is still asking for donations? Maybe god is now accepting the euro? Well perhaps he should look at taking Visa too!

I have to admit the entire analogy of the shepard and sheep makes me feel a little sick. This guy is another classic example of control at it's best! If you want to control people either scare them or confuse them! This crap is attempting to do both! It does prove one thing however, the incredible arrogance of man! The idea that we, in this endless universe, according to most religions are the only life, and that we could possibly OFFEND the creator of all is the ultimate of human arrogance and GREED.

So would you like to know the TRUTH. Well sit quietly and look inside. There you will find all your answers. Will the world end someday. Of course it will, because NOTHING is permanent, everything changes, but it has nothing to do with a judgment.

Many people in the last few weeks have tried to convert me to believing this line of crap. The problem is that I don't believe it is garbage, I know for a FACT it is.

That is my 2 cents for the moment. BTW Harold, when your predicted ABSOLUTE end does not come on October 21st what will you do? Well hopefully it will be the end of something, your bullshit.

Updates on Miky

This is the current situation with Miky in Romania. My thanks to all the generous people who have helped out with donations thus far. Here is a copy of an email I received yesterday in regard to her condition.

Hi Art;
Just spoke with Cristina on the phone. She is on her way back from Bucharest with Nelu and Oti. They had a chance to visit with Miky and a team of physicians that are keeping her alive.
It appears that the culprit is a very severe case of bacterial infection (sepsis infection) of the blood. They are administering her a drug (xigris). I've googled it and pretty much falls in line with her status as described by the physicians, in other words, it is administered to patients with severe case ofsepsis, in life or death situations. Miky's condition apparently outweighs the severe side affects of the drug as I understand.
She is in an induced coma, six of her organs have been desumated by the bacteria and she is on life support. The doctors give her a 2% chance for survival, and she could pass away today, tomorrow or maybe weeks. Right now this drug is holding it's ground I think, and life support took over all her vital functions. The doctors are testing her blood for improvement. Apparently the doctors do not have an answer as to what caused the sepsis infection. Unfortunately, I have been unable to travel with them to see Miky.

It is a very sad situation Art, but at this point I am not sure how we can help. Apparently this hospital is top ranked in this department and have the resources for intervening in the worst cases such as Miky's.

Lets all pray for her subconscious fighting it while the sepsis infection goes away, blood and organ treatment refined and recovery begins.

A chance to make a difference

Martial Arts people are some of the most generous people I know. That is why I am doing this blog post. Please read this article below and follow the links provided. It is your chance to make a difference.

Hello Everyone,

If you look to the right of this article you will find a donation button to help a good friend of mine in Romania with medical expenses. I met this lady about 6 months ago and she helped me to travel to her country to introduce the art of Kyusho Jitsu to martial artists there.

Approximately one week ago from the date of this article she took ill with a serious liver condition. Her life is currently in danger, however the situation is improving. I arranged on Wednesday of this week for a helicopter airlift to Bucharest to save her life. Without this she had no chance for survival. However the problems still exist. The medical system in Romania is very poor and very expense. The economy in the country is in ruins.

Currently I am fund raising and taking donation to help the family with these expenses. Any and all donations are welcome and ALL the money is sent directly to the family. If you would like to help please use the donation button to the right of this article. All donors will have their name added to a card for Miky which Master Art will personally deliver to her when he returns by request of her family as soon as she regains consciousness.


Thank you for your generosity in this matter! Please see UPDATES below.

Sunday July 18th 2010 As of this writing Miky is in stable, but serious condition in Bucharest. She is currently on a machine which is cleaning her blood since her liver is all but shut down. This is LIVER DIALYSIS which will help to regenerate the liver. The cost of this procedure is 3500 euro which is NOT covered by insurances. Please follow the link provided for more information.

To donate to this cause please follow this LINK.

Also note 100% of all Kyusho DVD and eBook sales will go to this cause.

Well, the word bitch may not be completely accurate, but here goes anyways. Lets take a look at various political offices shall we? President of the United States, or Prime Minister of Canada or what have you.

We, the people who elect these clowns, are supposed to be 'respectful' and refer to them as Mr President or Your Right Honourable Prime Minister etc, etc...

WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????????

They work for US? They are simply elected managers, who usually do a piss poor job anyways! The Right of Kings in gone!!! So....Barry!!!.....Steve!!!! think about it!
