I dont have a LOT of accomplishments as of yet since I am so new to the sport, but I suppose I can say that I have learned my 20 basic steps with blocks & punches and 1 step sparring. My personal achievement is learning to master the Korean terminology, thats a tough one for me and I am slowly learning it!

Received my 3rd yellow stripe today, now I just need my Black stripe which I will probably get next week. Im nearly ready for my yellow belt!

4/9/08 Received my black stripe today! Still having issues with 1 step sparring and my roundhouse...I can use a little help!

I did it! I passed my yellow belt testing tonight!! I was one of the better white belts too! I got to do my 1-step sparring with a black belt as there were 5 of us testing and I didnt have a partner

Daddy you will never be forgotten.
You fought a hard battle and the world is a sadder place without you.

The Impossible Dream
Andy Williams

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.

My daughter Ariana and my Dad

I have always wanted to try Tae Kwon Do, ever since I was about 5 years old. It was a secret dream of mine that I thought would never happen. Until 1 day 2 months ago my 6 year old came home with a sheet about Grand Master Sun Chong's TKD Center. So I thought what the heck lets try it! I went for my initial visit and for a free trial. I had my 1 on 1 instruction and I was hooked!
I am currently in my 3rd month of training. I would have tested for my yellow belt at the end of March but I was gone from town and I had a surgery that prevented me from taking a few classes, so instead I will train harder in April and get my yellow belt and be well on my way to a green stripe.

I am a professional photographer

Warrior of the light Third delivers

A warrior of the light you have the qualities of a rock.
When it is in flat area - everything in his environment found the harmony-, it is kept stable.

The persons can construct his or her houses on what it was created, because the tempest will not destroy it.

When, on the other hand, they place it in sloping area - and the things that surround it do not demonstrate balance or respect-, he reveals his true force; it rolls towards the enemy who threatens the peace.

In this moment, the warrior is devastating, and nobody manages to detain it.

A warrior of the light thinks about the war and about the peace at the same time, and can act in agreement with the circumstances.

The warrior of the light sometimes acts as the water, and flows among the obstacles that he finds.

In certain moments, to resist means to be destroyed; then, he adapts to the circumstances.
She agrees without protesting that the stones of the way plan his course across the mountains.
In this the force of the water resides; it can never be a gully for a hammer, not hurt by a knife. The most powerful sword of the world is unable to leave a scar on , your surface.

The water of a river adapts to the most feasible way, without forgetting his lens: the sea. Fragile in his birth, slowly he is acquiring the force of other rivers that he finds. And from a certain moment, your power is total.

It is a filter that automatically inserts "rawr" when a word we use is considered "offensive".  The word I used was STUCK, w/out the "t", @ drawing.  It can be a bit distracting but I have a big enough vocabulary that I can find other words.

I like having my music at my fingertips too!  MP3 player, car stereo, home entertainment system, etc. but I NOT a Diva.  Too independent for that monicur to fit.  Guess what......


I can draw too!   AMAZING!  Though I can do people, I much prefer animals.  I "rawr" at scenary (except Still Life).  I haven't drawn in eons!

A true "Diva" would be having her picture "taken", not takiing pictures.  And, her music would be provided by a small ensemble that followed her wherever she went.   LOL!  Yes I can see that you truly are an "artist" in every sense of the word.  Musical, Martial, Photographic artist.  Maybe we should call you some really cool term like Multi-artistic!

No "tube" here @ work but to answer the question, No.  I have not heard of Safari but I will check it out.  How odd it is to find somebody that even knows what the heck I am talking about.  Then again.....
