Fighting For Pleasure







It's been months since I left my Master, the guy who taught me martial arts. Learning martial arts was a new chapter in my life. It injected confidence, tolerance & respect in to my mind. It taught me how to over come difficulties and fears. Once I joined the club, they all started treating me as one of their own. It was a strange bond, a bond based on respecting each other. We fought with each other, sometimes hard ,but I rarely saw any anger. Fighting without getting angry with each other,It was so strange. There was this guy called Steven, he was a student of mine but at the martial arts training he didn’t give a shit about me being his teacher. His punches and kick were so hard and spot on. I fractured my ribs once, but I never blamed anybody for that. It was my fault; I should learn to protect my ribs. So I learnt to change myself before changing the world. There was another interesting character in my club. He was the deaf guy. It was amazing how fast he learn by watching movements and observing masters gestures. Once his father told me that he was turned down by many schools and clubs because he was deaf. Then there was this cute little girl Ann who fought with more than 15 guys to get her black belt. If you see her on the street you’ll never think she’s that strong. Fighting is 90% mind. It’s about controlling your fears and pain. She was the best example for that.
It’s not the size of the dog in fight, it’s the size of the fight in dog-Mark
Twain
I really believe that. Oh, man I really miss that training.

Things to come in 2050

I have to assume that I live until 2050, still 22 years to go. I'm going to be really old by then, 72 to be exact. Anyway, these are the things that I predict to happen during the next 22 years.

1. New operating system which could be controlled by mind.

think of a computer that can turn off when you think about it, or which can open documents play music, find file, just by thinking about it. Would be really cool isn't it? I name the OS, Windows Mind 2050.


2. Wireless battery chargers.

I hate to carry them arround. Think about a device that could be charged using radio waves .


3. 1000 GB wireless internet.

I don't know what to transfer, but i hope they will find something by then.


4. Automated Speech translators.

No need to learn languages. Carry the device when you travel, translates any language realtime with VOICE!.


5. Exoskeletons to give ordinary people superhuman strengths.

This was recently tested by the Us Army, hiking will not be a problem at the age of 72.


6. Robots cleaning my house.

Possibly clening everyting.


7. Nano robots that can repair your body parts.

Herat surgery is only one day in the hospital.


8. Portable super computers with unlimited Storage.

Lots of Music & Movies


9. Houses with color changeable walls.

My house is pink in january


10. Cars that can change its skin to any color or design.

Hey, Can you give me your car skin? Where did you download it?


11. harnessing the power of lightning.

One lightning could power a city for months......


12. Biological computers.

????


13. A colony on the moon.

Just to spend my vaccation


14. Life on Mars.

some bacteria I hope


15. Men giving birth to babies

oh.......


16. growing body parts separately to replace damaged ones.

I want to replace my skin darling!
