That Certain Something

On July 1, 2018July 31, 2018 By CorwinIn Because I Want To, Ka-Ra-Te, Ruminations2 Comments

I'm stuck on this idea of passion. Again. There is something I feel I'm lacking. So much is happening right now that is good and right, but at the same time, there's this pervasive sense I'm missing something important. I hope I'm making the right calls and following through in the correct manner. But I'll …

Competition: Why?

On March 22, 2018July 31, 2018 By CorwinIn Adventure, Because I Want To, Ka-Ra-Te1 Comment

This past Sunday was the Southern WI Open. It's an event I've been going to since I was at 15, if not younger and it's always been a fun tournament and a place where I get to see friends from all over the state. This year was no different. It was also my first event …

Sometimes when I'm at something of a loss for words on what to write I look back through my photos in my phone and see what I thought was funny/cool/interesting enough to take a picture of at the time. For the last two months, it's been a bit of my wife, a whole lot of …

That Holiday Spirit

It's been a chaotic, wonderful and lovely stack of events lately, which I hit on pretty hard the other day. You can check it out here if you're so inclined and want to really just jump into the whole "things I think about other things" pool of self-reflection and cogitation. The take away is any big …

Silence and Tournaments

On September 9, 2017September 9, 2017 By CorwinIn Ruminations, Team AKA, Team RevolutionLeave a comment

I was at the gym the other day, and part of the gym process is making sure I lock all of my stuff up in a locker. I used to not do this because I lived in weird little towns where no-one locked ANYTHING. Including their houses. However, my wife informed me I should probably start …
