"When one has reached maturity in the art, one will have a formless form. It is like ice dissolving in water. When one has no form, one can be all forms; when one has no style, he can fit in with any style."
"Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him."
"The combatant should be alive in sparring, throwing punches and kicks from all angles, and should not be a co-operative robot. Like water, sparring should be formless. Pour water into a cup, it becomes part of the cup. Pour it into a bottle; it becomes part of the bottle. Try to kick or punch it, it is resilient; clutch it and it will yield without hesitation. In fact, it will escape as pressure is being applied to it. How true it is that nothingness cannot be confined. The softest thing cannot be snapped."
What i like most about his philosophy is how well it transcribes to pretty much anything. I really like the water theory. Infinitely adaptable, in some ways water seems like the perfect molecule.

Recipe of the week
2 (pork chops/portabella muschrooms preferrably 1 of each but suit yourself)
1 can of mushroom soup
1 onion
a bunch of garlic
rice.
While cooking the rice, fry everything else (except the soup) in the butter. When it is pretty cooked, mix the rice and the soup into the overall mix. Season with wine or beer or pepper or hot sauce. Eat with gusto
I just love eating this and had to post the recipe in case i forget.

Story
Three men fell into vesicles of an gargantuan talc crystal. The first man cried for help until someone heard and pulled him out of the hole. The second man was lucky enough to fall into a waterproof hole with enough lumber to make a raft. Coincidentally, a monsoon soaked the region and filled the hole with water allowing the man to float to safety. The third man used his bare hands to carve stairs from the crystal and walked out. During the same century the sons/daughters of these three men fell into the same holes as their predecessors. The son of the first man cried for help but no one came. He died and was absorbed into the crystal. The son of the second man found himself in a hole without sticks. Once again the monsoon soaked the region and he drowned. The son of the third man walked up the stairs that had been built by his father.

White bands pt. 2
Here is the link to the comment http://louisrosenthal.blogspot.com/2005/12/righteous-bastards.html#comments
Here is my response
Perhaps my objection isn't with the fact that people are campaigning against poverty, but with the way it's presented and advertised. The posters up at our school showed silhouettes of "cool" people wearing the bands, and text that said "wear a white band, make poverty history". If I couldn't read, I would have mistaken it for a Gap advertisement or something similar. I have checked out their website and it rubbed me the wrong way as well. Many good intentions, but not many solutions. I think it is also obvious that people have known about world poverty long before the stretchy white bands were invented and distributed.
Many people will think that buying a band is the extent of their responsibility to the rest of the world. On top of this, many people probably buy the band in hopes of gaining some sort of social status. Stopping poverty is about giving without getting anything back. To me the whole idea of paying 1$ and hoping that the world will unite and fight for a cause is delusional. The distribution of resources on the planet is way too uneven, and there is no way to organize 6 billion people. Or even 1 million. However, as I am not yet able to come up with the master plan that will solve this mess, I guess I’m being a bit of an asshole about the whole thing.

Righteous bastards
Question : How does wearing a white band around your arm decrease poverty?
Answer : It doesn't, all this white band does is tell everyone around you that you are against poverty. Who the hell isn't? I think you'd find that a very small percentage of the population that would say that they support poverty and that they think it's alright that 800 million people go to bed hungry every night. I have been in some extremely poor places in central america and mexico, and can guarantee you that wearing a white ribbon around your arm in winnipeg has nothing to do with them, and is not doing anything except making you look like a self-righteous and delusional person (in my eyes).

One divided by evolution
At some point in time, there were 5 men who had a sacred mission from god. God blessed these men with sculpted abs and beautiful features. Together, these men formed the slutbusters. Their purpose was to promote promiscuity amongst women in a hopeless effort to increase the amount of babies being born in developed nations"
With the help of their perfect bodies and eternal each man laid with hundreds of thousands of women a day for thousands of years until eventually the whole population of humans was beautiful but retarded from incest.
EPILOGUE
As a result of this lowered cognitive capacity, humans abandoned their roost in office towers and moved into tree-based dwellings. Humans also let their hair grow and began to take the shape of their primeval ancestors. The earth became greener, genocides were lost and the sex was better than ever.
