Kickin' it

Ola, how is everyone doing?
Yesterday was the last day of the Yes+ course. Because some people couldn't show up on monday we decided to compress the course into 5 days. Normally today would've been the last day so there were some complications with compressing the program.
Some of us wanted to cover all the stuff that was in the original program, while others - like me - wanted to leave some stuff out to save time. The thing is, in martial arts you learn that the best way to not teach someone anything is to teach him alot in a short amount of time. This will result in so much chaos in the mind that the student will not remember anything in the end.
But I guess that's part of the process, this was our first course to teach so I can't complain. Besides, I think we did pretty well actually, we received alot of positive feedback from the participants and everyone enjoyed it.

So I lost my virginity being a teacher. I leaded a few processes and it was really cool to do. I felt very natural in getting the point across and people really got the message. I could just see it in their eyes. The thing is, I don't talk about stuff that I don't know. At least not as a teacher. I mean, it's funny to talk about stuff you don't know and have a laugh with it, but as a teacher you have a certain responsibility. If you don't get what you're talking about, then how are you gonna teach the students anything? That's why I always hate it when people do this; they only create confusion in their students and it's like a stain on the rest of the knowledge. The moment you doubt something, it will most likely give birth to more doubt. It's a vicious circle that you can't afford to have. So just shut up if you don't know what you're talking about.

What now? Camille called me to ask me when I'm going back to Osnabruck. I told him tuesday, so that's tomorrow. Today I'll be having my day off with Iva, our last day together for a while. Tomorrow we'll catch a ride together but eventually we'll split; I get out at Offenburg because I need to go back to Bad Antogast to grab some stuff before I continue on to Osnabruck, and Iva will move on to Mainz. It's the way it is, so just enjoy the ride as long as it lasts, and plan ahead for the next one. There's no point in thinking about the future with sadness, it will only have you miss out on the magic that is happening right now. Ofcourse you can't tell your mind "let's not think about the future", but you can adopt an attitude of having faith that everything will be alright and then the thoughts that disturb you will move like clouds blown away when they block the sun.

Let that sun shine, you are the wind of your life. That wind is your breath, and you can use it to blow away all the clouds that are roaming your sky. Make it clear blue, feel the warmth of the sun that is your nature. Get a nice tan, and you'll feel much healthier and prettier than ever before. And those chicks will dig you, that's my word. But don't go to a tanning salon, that's for gay people who can't deal with the clouds. They might look tanned, but they aint happy and healthy, and chicks won't dig. It's fake, not genuine, and it only serves as self deceit. If you want that real tan, you need to get out there.

So today I'm kickin' it. We're gonna get a thai massage, eat sushi and have some cheese with olives dipped in pesto, and ofcourse, a nice wine. Treat yourself, don't cheat yourself. I'm not really into this wine thing but Iva loves it and it makes me feel haute culture. Maybe I'll start liking it someday, who knows. Play the game along and get paid, then you have enough time to get laid. Sounds shallow, but you gotta read between the lines. You can't get laid before you get paid, so take care of bullshit and do some real shit.
Pimp it by kickin' it. I care, I share. Bye!
