RANT #1 - THE PLAN IS......There is no hugging in eskrima- I must endeavor to channel my inner supervillain - I am now working on my EVIL LIST of EVIL EVILNESSNESS - It's not the same list as in "It's on the list".

I will spend the rest of the day eating timid woodland fae creatures and putting their heads on pike - as a warning to the others. I wish to be named Doctor Evil squshy bughead man the vile.
