How I did it: After my stupid friend bought a bass guitar and decided to learn to play it by himself, his father misunderstood his intentions and bought some band amps and gear for the both of us. I had played guitar a long time ago, but had no intention of picking it back up again. We played together and eventually gained a singer, the bassist switched to drums and we got another bassist. The challenges for our band up ahead seem fun to take on and I'… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got a call from a army recruiter and I took it as an opportunity to completely change the way I see things. I constantly tried to view my fears as things that can help me... Bugs are people too, I can see in darkness, and death is not unnecessarily the end. The problem that always created fear in me, was not just myself, but my view on life and what I did and did not know. Read how I did it…
Now obviously, the only way to officially become a ninja is through recognition of another ninja or someone who knows the requirments for a ninja. That’s just going to take up too much time. So I’ve devised my own requirmentsn for ninja-osity.
1. Parkour
2. Martial Arts
3. Sneaking
Parkour, I can take a class for. Martial arts are easy, as I can take a class a week or something. Sneaking, I’ll just have to do on my free time. Eventually I’ll get better. Until someone says “OMG! STALKER!” and I’ll go “No mam, this is an understanding, you see… I’m actually a ninja.” and she’ll go “Oh! What a relief!”
I was shopping with two of my friends out in an outdoor mall. Unfortunatly, a boy about my age intercepted us and told us all about the dying polar bears. I’m thinking “god, what a shmuck! Can’t this guy have anything else to do?” and in a sense, I was right….kind of… I told my friends that I’d meet up with them later and I engaged this guy in a full-on-conversation. When he pulled out the sign-up sheet, I gave him a fake name, fake phone-number, fake credit card and a real e-mail adress. I felt releived, and the guy was happy to had finally recruited somebody off the street. Long story short, I got a sticker, brocheur a copy of my sign in sheet. It was a good laugh later, but to be honest, I felt guilty. Really guilty. I had wanted to give that guy a little hope, while not sacrificing myself in the process. I know it was probably a scam or something un-organized but I still felt guilty as hell. So my goal, or my goal this year, is to save a polar bear. God speed you diminishing, white-colored, lumps of bear!
