Okay, I love the martial arts and hang out with a group of wild and crazy freaks who are just like me -- we play with guns, knives, whips, sticks, and other martial tools; we practice the Filipino martial arts which entails the use of weapons; as well as just enjoying shooting up the range. You'd never know I'm a peace loving girl with the heart of a poet and wouldn't hurt a fly. Any how, taking a risk here and I hope you enjoy the humor in this . . . It is only you and I Here together at this time The gauntlet dropped, the challenge ripe 30 feet stands between us The cool draft of distance stirring Yet you taunt me in your stillness The steel feels cool in my hands Smooth and seductive beneath my finger As oh so slowly I caress the trigger A burst of flame thrusts forth Lead leaping from the chamber Speeding forth across the expanse Sound resonates and echoes As matter splinters and shatters And, as Victor, I loose laughter But once is not enough You beckon me still Again, and Again, and Again 'Till my hand aches in pleasure And my chest swells with pride For you, my friend -- The Target Have most surely died. S.A.T. |

Never hesitate the new...for in it is the beauty of adventure. Martial arts are all about willpower, self control and the ballet of body and mind. Wonderful theme for your new offering. TD |

I'm glad for the reception. It is true that the martial arts are beautiful -- a fluidity like dance. One of the reasons I started. As far as the shooting goes, I find it a test of skill between yourself and the target and it is quite enjoyable. Smiles -- Susan |
