July 26th, 2010 § 7 Comments
Another week another website launch. 
Black Horse Taichi
BlackHorseTaichi.org is going to be the place where I discuss the things I’ve learned in martial arts (kung fu, taichi, push hands, brazilian jujitsu), review books, discuss Daoism (Taoism), post videos which I find interesting (and explain what I find interesting about them) and all that sort of thing.
The name Black Horse Taichi was given to me by « Read the rest of this entry »
A Conversation with God
July 25th, 2010 § 8 Comments
In my first post on the Pwning Life blog and asked people which method they wanted me to use to determine what I wanted/wanted to do. The winner was “A Conversation with God.” The basic premise is that God walks through the door of your house and tells you you’ll be successful at anything you do. What will you tell him?
If you feel strange talking about God (or too God 
) use something else. A genie, a wealthy benefactor that’s going to make sure what you do is successful, whatever.

So God rolls into my house and is all like “WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU’LL BE SUCCESSFUL! TELL ME WHAT THAT SHALL BE YOUNG LAD!”
After changing my pants from being freaked out by the floating head of God that busted through my door, I’d start talking. « Read the rest of this entry »
How To Learn Mandarin Chinese An Introduction
July 21st, 2010 § 12 Comments
What up guys! Based on popular demand I’m going to start doing weekly (or so) Chinese lessons. I’m going to do things a little different from what I see around the internet when it comes to Chinese learning. Instead of trying to teach you Chinese, I’m going to teach you HOW TO LEARN Chinese. A subtle but very important difference. Let me start with my history of language learning, instruction and study of Chinese.
My Language Learning/Instructing Background
The reason I’m going to give you this background if for a few reasons. Most importantly it’s to let you know I’m somewhat of an “expert” when it comes to language learning and acquisition. I also want to show you that learning a language is an ongoing project that will require a lot of work. You might hear stories of people who have learned such-and-such a language in 6 months but I guarantee you that they either have a crappy grasp of the language, they worked REALLY hard OR they have a system they used which they learned form learning another language.

Before we even get into Chinese I want to talk about « Read the rest of this entry »
PwningLife.com Launches Today
July 19th, 2010 § 9 Comments
Last week I made a list of things I wanted to get done:
- Have the Pwning Life blog ready to launch
- Have the Black Horse Taichi site ready to launch
- Run everyday
My report from last week is as follows: Pwninglife.com is ready to launch and I ran everyday. Two out of three isn’t bad! 
Plus I’ve decided to make running a daily habit. I’m currently at the 3-5 miles a day mark.
PwingLife.com
I’m looking for feedback about the site. Any feedback! The plan is to post 1-3 articles per week about “pwning life.” Everything is going to revolve around personal development. Essentially goal setting, tracking progress and completion. I believe that once a person understands the method of “pwning” something, they can apply it to any aspect of their life. I also plan on answering questions people have and hopefully between what I say and the additional advice in the comments we can answer any question. Anyhow, this is just the beginning. I’m sure the site will evolve as people leave comments and feedback. [CHECK IT OUT!]
I’m also going to go ahead and make my want/be/do lists below. « Read the rest of this entry »
