I bleed it out.

I'm working on a playlist of probable songs for the Taekwando demonstration on Friday. Do any of you guys know of any upbeat "fighting" music? I'm open to any interpretation of that requirement, on the stipulation that there aren't any naughty words, because apparently we're supposed to be family friendly or something. I already have a lot of video game music and general techno douchebaggery.

Also, I think the asthma is back. My lungs clamped down for the first time in years today during line drills. I do not like that sensation. I really need to get an inhaler. Maybe this is working in conjunction with how godawful my allergies are right now and my general inability to breathe at night no matter how medicated I am. That and getting my out-of-shape arse to hardcore work out.

I've been working on my final in my series of "sexuality in Japan" honors reports for human sexuality. This one is on sex in manga. It's odd that I'm supposed to be reading about porn for a school project and keep getting distracted.

Went to Ren Fest on Saturday. Finally got a wand. I got a sweet discount because the wand seller and I bonded over our mutual undying trust of Snape. Tortuga Twins are fucking hilarious. I would totally have a drink with them.

I am sure you can guess my opinion on this. Don't even get me started.

LOL. Sucks, doesn't it? I love the Japanese language (in b4 weeaboo) but I drag my feet when it comes to doing my homework/studying more of it/going to class. I guess that's what I get for taking a class that's five days a week though.

As for music, does video game background music count toward this or are you actually looking for something with lyrics and shit?

Anything by Basshunter is upbeat and techo-ish, and seems to be a good match to a lot of martial arts. My hubby (3rd brown belt in kenpo) used to use Aqua in his demos just to freak the other guys out. Also Sandstorm is used a lot. Don't remember the artist, but the song is VERY recognizable.

As for music, I think you are on the right track with video games and what not. Also, go for soundtracks from movies with martial arts. Mortal Kombat theme song is still win, no matter how badly it hurts one's head.
And I hope that your asthma works itself out. Try to take it easy.
Also, it was so much fun to see you at Ren Fest. You reminded me of the hero from Princess Bride. All you needed was a mask.
