Need more edge.

I'm a very competitive person in a lot of regards. I do my very best when I'm challenged and in some way "smack talked".  I'll go back deep into the time tunnel when we used to have the San Shou classes on Tuesday nights. One of the requirements was that we had to post some good natured "smack talk" prior to class.  I must also say that Sifu Lindstrom was the best at it!  The Sifu running the class was tasked with judging the best smack talk and awarding points.  We had a running points total that culminated with a San Shou winner at the end of the year and it was an awarded at the banquet.  

What I'm getting at here is that I personally liked the competitiveness of the class.  It was motivating to me and we kept score.  I believe that in life there's a lot of "score keeping" that happens and for sure life in general is competitive.  

Last night was the first time in a very long time that I felt that "edginess". At first is sort of pissed me off, then it brought clarity and finally it brought motivation.  I can only speak for myself here but I miss that in our school.  I miss the good natured "smack talk" the competitiveness that drives me to do a little extra.  I can't thank Sifu Sharida Csillag enough for bringing that back and directing it toward me😃.
