Walt, many folk have tried to change me at heart over the years and all have failed, the only times I will change myself is when I want to do so, my heart remains fiery and this will never change, worry not my friend. I have changed my outlook on things over the years and am still very much evolving in this regard, I feel like I could live a dozen lifetimes and still not have come even close to behaving as a truly civilised person, the World is too crazy for this to happen which truly saddens me.
Ken, that video clip show of John is superb, such a shame when he passed, and yes I am a trained practitioner of the blade, first in Kendō for 13yrs then using more traditional English battle swords for 5yrs with a chap I trained with many years ago who sadly passed away earlier this year, I sorely miss him both as a friend and a mentor. I stopped using swords because of a change in personal philosophy, the sword is a tool designed for one thing and one thing only, to harm other people, this I cannot condone any longer so I stopped training with them.
BB, not so interesting to some I know but I do also prefer the person I am today to the person I have been in the past, I rather hope I have taught myself to be a calmer and more understanding individual, but of course every once in a while I fail in this and the rougher earlier and more childish me surfaces, this I find most distressing to be honest as I have worked so hard to try to evolve into a more balanced person, life is a tricky journey and being human is not an easy thing to be is it.
Just for you Harry............

(luv's ya really Kyle... :sunny: )
Right so, I think that's enough about me now, I return the thread back to BB, sorry for the hijacking Sis'.
