    I like to show a balanced perspective…so to even things out after my somewhat awesomely handsome pic last time I hope you’ll be suitably amused the by following much younger and WAY less cool photo :P

    Also to complete todays goal, I shall be posting a pic of my Older bro, who is by far the one person i’m closest to…but since I am not comfortable posting pics of people without their permission and he is currently out of the country you’ll have to make do with an artists impression ;)

    I’m supposed to come up with 15 facts on this one…but to be honest I’m facted out about myself…so i’ll just do random stuff

    1. I don’t really like it when I hear a girl saying the word ‘Dude’ not sure why, but it just sounds wrong to me :S
    2. There’s a plan to use genetically modified coral type creatures to sure up Venice.
    3. A Quantum computer can be both on and off simultaneously.
    4. My Favourite Nintendo Character is Wario.
    5. All that glitters is not gold.
    6. I collect bottle caps…just incase the Fallout games turn out to be true and they become the new currency. :P
    7. I used to imagine different types of Sci-fi/fantasy weapons while going to sleep.
    8. There’s a picture of me when young sitting on a hillside wearing nothing but wellies and a daisy chain around my neck :P
    9. My favourite sense is my hearing.
    10. There are Japanese AI toys that are connected to the internet and learn during their life time.
    11. I’ve run out of dental floss.
    12. I’ve played Airsoft games with friends, I am ALWAYS the first to die and usually enjoy doing the pretend death more than the game.
    13. I have never yet met a dog I couldn’t get on with.
    14. Toads and Frogs are pretty much exactly the same creature, it’s just one is better at dry environments than the other.
    15. I spent a few years of my young childhood living in a 40 foot caravan.

    So here’s the question: If you had to survive what skills or abilities do you think you would have or be able to use to up your odds?

    Personally recent events…and common sense has proven to me that I’m not really built to survive strength based physical combat, but I am pretty confident that if needs must I could push myself beyond quite high levels of pain and damage to get to safety, so if I was forced into combat I’d fight like an SOB before i went down :P

    Also I have spent all my life in a very wild natural place, often going for long walks and even camping with and without a tent. My herbs and food know-how is limited but there is a base there that could be built on.

    I can swim and have experiance of cold water temp…though my skinny build makes me more susceptible to the cold.

    I’ve not fully learnt any…but I have looked at several martial arts that don’t demand power or strength, so if needs must perhaps I could figure out enough to give myself a minor skill advantage.

    Although not tested I am confident that I could make hard choices and do what must be done to survive. I doubt I’d be weak to panic or shock and although I would do as much as possible for self preservation I am also aware that cooperation is the real power of small groups of humans so i’d endeavour to support a solid team, and my tolerance and adaptability of mind would aid that.


    And I think thats about all the major skills I can come up with for now…so whats your survival list?

    Looking at my own if I were making a team I’d really be looking for someone physically strong, a decisive leader, a mechanic and most of all a medic.

  • Is there a Doctor in the House?

    So about a week and a bit ago I was at a Kick Boxing club thing thats held in the local town…and no I wasn’t quite at Tony Jaa’s level :P infact this was the second time ever that i’d gone…and I was planning on giving it up after three times anyway.

    But the first time I was just delivering blows and that was sore but fine, then this time I got to be a pad man (someone who holds a pad and lets others punch and kick him) and this happened to be on a day when the Instructor was teaching everyone the Push Kick…which involves putting a foot on the opponents chest and kicking them backwards.

    So I was wearing my pads and receiving these kicks from a rather fit chap for a few mins. Now I’ve never been great with chest impacts and much as I expected it took me quite a while to get used to the pain and push back even with pads, and eventually I was even given a bigger pad to carry aswell (thank god because the wearable one was not thick enough) but during this whole thing I got kicked a fair number of times in the chest and at one point my fist and carry pad handle got rammed into my sternum area quite hard.

    After the training I was sore but fine and as usualy gave it a week to recover before even thinking about doing it again…but this time rather than my aches and pains fading the pain in my chest persisted and is now still there even a couple days after the usual weeks recovery time.

    The pain is like a sharp burning tearing type sensation just off to the right of the upper midle part of my sternum, it get’s worse if I twist my body or head and sometimes makes my shoulder blades and upper arms ache slightly.

    The sharp pain is localized in one very small area about the size of a finger tip but there is also a dull ache that goes out around it sometimes and spreads to the shoulders and arms in varying degrees.

    I am going to go to the doctors for a previous chest issue (two cases of Pneumonia in two years) soon but for now I’m not bothering getting this checked out since if it’s somekind of bruise, fracture or tear there’s really nothing they can do for me anyway…but I am curious as to what it might be do if anyone has had something similar or knows anything about the body and it’s workings please help me shed some light :)

    And the moral of the story…don’t let someond kick you in the chest ;) lol
