Zen archery is also a crock, it's about being at peace and tranquility as you draw and release the bow, and not caring where the arrow ends up. It's a far cry from actual combat archery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_in_the_Art_of_Archery that katana probably also would've went through all the carcasses if he had hit…
Dont forget NAFTA which has put American corps in Mexico paying very low wages at best. The number one income for Mexico is drugs. Lets see.. work for slave pay, or run drugs for a cartel? Live life short, but with lots of money, or slightly longer but worn out? Hmm. What would you choose? For any that applaud this, stop…
Thanks for the kind words. My wife had been sitting on that name long before we ever met. I had no complaints when she picked it out...seeing as it was a family name on my side as it was. At this point...I couldnt imagine a more fitting name. My wife was so strong. She was laughing with joy (or perhaps anesthesia) during…

My son Loki has taken to raiding our new refrigerator, and one of the things that he can easily reach is our supply of hot sauce. For the last few days he's been pulling out the tabasco and siracha, and saying "Want some hot sauce!" Well, daddy decided to grant him his wish. I poured him a little spoonful of tabasco, which…
First and foremost, this isn't a Max vs. Maya post so keep reading please. I like both programs, somewhat... Aight, so i'm dying a little here I need to know how to do 'X' in maya that i'd normally do in Max. I've searched and searched, but when there's a colossal fuck tonne of posts about maya pre like 2005 it gets hard…
