The little gold star...

I honestly think that both Rich and Tshadowchaser should have gotten their honors a long time before I did. The fact that they didn't kind of shows that they were willing to take unpopular opinions and stances more than I was and I think their courage should be recognized.

Not to bash Rich or Tshadow in ANY way, but ... I dunno about that. You stick your neck out quite a bit in your art section and take hits from others who have nothing to gripe about but want to push an alternative agenda instead of good conversation.

But all three of you have the kind of time, experience and training some of us pine for. This kind of knowledge is an asset to a board like this and a great mine for people who still value and seek out traditional training.

Kudos to ALL of you.

Don,

I will be honest. I think I just piss off more people lately then you. You have been constant in your opinions. Recently I have decided to just let certain things fly. So the change is change to some. I also do not always convey my point clearly so it requires a second post or two to clarify, which takes away form the value of a single well stated post.

Ah to keep learning.

Me A traditionalist? That was actually one of the hardest things about my training, for me to accept. I am open minded. I do not think knowledge and or skills are limited to a culture or single art. I think the individual means or drives more than an art does. Yet, in the end the arts I do teach are both FMA's and I have been and will continue to try to preserve them. So, I guess I am a traditionalist. One never knows where they will find a place to learn about themselves.

I can't bear to think about it... :uhohh:

Maybe we can do something else instead? How about: you're obligated to buy as many rounds as you have stars (Carol gets popcorn instead! :wink1, so two stars, you buy two rounds, three stars, you buy three... etc.

By then, of course, Shesulsa and Lisa will have eight stars or so each, so we can coast the whole night on their tab, eh?

I can't wait! I'll make sure to have extra memory cards or film- whichever I use at that moment.

My advice: bring a Hallowe'e mask or two to the bash, and slip one on every time he flashes his camera in a menacing way. That way, you can always claim you were back in your hotel room virtuously studying The Art of War, and you have no clue who that guy with the vampire mask at the bar was...
