  • But practicing falling down safely. Ukemi.

    Ukemi (受け身) refers to the art of safe falling and breakfalls in Japanese martial arts
    

    Just as advice, you don’t even need to go to martial arts class to get this; various activities have tutorials on falling “correctly”, even theater! Even if you (the reader) don’t get a formal lesson, let me share the basics :

    1. Be aware of your surroundings
    2. Bend your knees when you fall, absorbing the impact
    3. Roll to transfer the vertical momentum to horizontal momentum
    4. Curve your back to assist on point 2 (NB : do not do funky things on your back if you are about to smack your back INTO something)

    Better yet, have a spotter (someone who is there to make sure you don’t fall off whatever thing you are on).

    I learnt the last one from trampolining and indoor climbing.



  • Ben’s yarmulke game is on point like usual. Tiny, and the exact shade as his hair so that the anti-Semites in his target demographic won’t see it, but he’s still technically dressed the way his religion tells him to.

    He could of course, choose not to court the types of people that turn out to be antisemitic, but you know, that would involve not making everything worse.







  • Or just use straws. Cut them up in to thirds.

    Takes me back to a random night where some (ex?) co workers and I were hanging out all night being stupid. One of those evenings where it just goes and stretches out. Went to pub. Went to Karaoke Bar. Ended up at someone’s house. They bust out the coke. I have never done coke. I have no objection to coke. If there’s one thing I took away from FALIV, it’s that you are meant to respect drugs, and understand their fucking effects properly before doing them.

    I am in the middle of an awful depressive episode. I’m curious about coke, and I am in the ideal circumstance to do it : in a safe home, surrounded by people I’ve known for years. But the mindset is not there. I know there’s an “upper, then downer” effect, and I am not interested in the downer part, since I already have my depression acting up.

    They start doing the coke the most British IT nerd fucking way I could have ever imagined. Off plates, using cut up plastic straws. Everyone has several cut up straws and there’s plenty to spare. One of them tells us the story of why it is that you need to not use money.

    He’s into the club scene. He goes to Ibiza and stuff like that. One time he did his thing, snorted some coke using money. Didn’t think about it. Then he had a breakout of sores covering his nose and lips (where he put the cash). He goes to the doctor, and finds out that’s why that’s been happening.

    We spend the night chatting shit, (them) doing coke, eating stupid junk food, going out at 5am for energy drinks and fags, and taking the first train home.

    I might have smoked or not smoked any combination of weed and or tobacco.

    Fun night.
