Yellow
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow..."Yellow"

9 March, 2007One goal I had before leaving the US was to study taekwondo. I started attending a dojang at the end of January. Yesterday I took my test and successfully earned the yellow belt.
Currently I weigh in at 136 kg, also known as 292 lbs. I have a membership at a heath club located next door to SDA Language Institute. At the current rate of study, it should be sometime in 2009 when I am prepared for the test to one dan black belt. As for the goals I have where my weight is concerned, I am hoping to be at least 45 lbs lighter in September.
Beyond this, I look much better with a goatee.

Wow Jim, that's awesome! I agree with your comment about the hype. One critic of the documentary referred to it as 'archeoporn'.
Sorry; this is Patrick, on my Fiance's Xanga, hahaha. Oops.
Very nice xanga.
Congrats!! Keep working hard.
oh that's great!!!!! I always wanted to learn karate but i'm so fragile for it
Hello, Jim. Lovely to see a wonderful picture of you. You look fantastic. I can't believe you weight that much; you must be very tall. What a wonderful pursuit, and 2009 and your black belt will be here before you know it! Wishing you great happiness;
I'm very glad to hear that things are going well for you my friend.
I do have some news in my life....I'm gonna be a dad! hehe...scary thought I know, but I'm looking forward to it.
At any rate, I continue to wish you all the best man...take care!
Hiya stranger!
That's great!! Keep up the hard work!
Hi Jim, I think you look great with or without that goatee but I will tell you I like beards. Good fortune on all of the Taekwondo exercises. I have great faith that you will succeed and with your new found skills your personal confidence will have flown to new heights.
Good thoughts coming your way,
Becca
LOVE the Song... I really like alot of Cold Play songs... CONGRATS on the Yellow belt! I know how hard Taekwondo is.....and I admire your goals! I would like to lose forty pounds also......Oh...and not goatee...facial hair is just yucky.....Good luck and glad you're enjoying life!! 'Til The Next
Congratulations! You can officially kick my butt. I'm glad you're learning something new and having fun with it. What is your address now?
Good luck with your plans! Just keep a positive attitude and everything will fall into place when it needs to. The worse thing you could do is get impatient (and I'm still learning not to get like this lol).
