I have started this web page and still do not know what to put on it. I had worked myself into quite the frenzie on putting up my recently learned Shiba Luohangong steps. That is until someone in my class pointed out how closely of a guarded secret that this type of chi kung is supposed to be. Grandmaster Huang had alluded to the fact that many guard this information, but I don't think I realized this till the blue shirt class member pointed it out. So I don't think I will put up too much detail on the subject of martial arts. Don't want to put out any trade secrets.
So I am torn on which direction to go with my next section. One of my main problems is I have too many interests and too many things I want to do. Always with the intent on finishing the project, something pulls me in the other direction and I never quite finish. So let see which way should I go.
I was thinking of adding a riddles and puzzles and logic problem area. Always fun, light hearted, and entertaining. The website might even generate some traffic with this, though, it would be safe to assume, just a handful of bored surfers are going to hit this site anyhow.
I was also considering adding a page devoted to my Grandfather Leo and getting him to write some stories or such. A couple months ago, we discussed the possibilities of a website for him. He seemed intrigued but I only gave him a cursorary lesson on how he can do this and never followed up. The man has tons to share with the world. I listen intently to his dinner time stories, though many of them I could already tell you verbatim. Grandad is a natural story-teller with so many stories from his own experience to tell.
Then I was also considering adding a section called "Starting Over". This would contain helpful hints and suggestions for people like me that feel sort of lost and need help focusing their life and making sense of it all. Lord knows I have tons of experience on this. How many times have I said stuff like 'Today I start eating healthy' or 'Today I get organized' or 'No more procrastination, time to clean the place up'. Of course lately I have been moving in the right direction in my life. Using little basic steps and 'starting over' each day, leaving yesterdays failures and bad choices behind and building on the successes. I have started to feel like I am living my life again and it is not living me. No longer is life just get up and get through the day.
Perhaps I should go in the "Starting Over" direction. Don't know if anyone would be interested in this but what the hell I am not really doing this site for them anyhow. I will probably go ahead with grandad's area as he can give me the content and I would just have to cut and paste. Minimal work...yeah that sounds like me. So, that will be the course I steer. Of course I could break down and jazz up the website with some of the old html I know or break out ye olde Frontpage 98 or just suck it up and buy some new web page generators and learn some more java and macromedia flash. Oh my that sounds like work, perhaps I will save that for another day. Plus I kinda like the plain, simplistic, aesthetic, taoist, nature of this site.
