You guys act as if I don’t know anything about the world and I have no modern day education. I have a year and a half of college and a CCNA Certification, which allows me to make around 50,000 a year. A+, Net +, and Security + Certifications are on the way.
OK. Time for a reality check! Exactly what days are these for which you yearn? I think someone has been watching a bit too much anime. If you'll read some history, you'll find that those days didn't exist any more than the days of chivalry of the European knights. It's a nice ideal, and there may have even been one or two people that actually achieved that ideal. Not reality though. Reality is only human, and we live in a much more civilized age than the world has ever known, despite all of the things wrong with it. Look at the text above, there is your reality check. As for worldly possessions, and shaving my head? I really wouldn’t care...the last months of my life have been trying to find that right dojo...I think I’ve finally found it as well and met with its sensei. The best thing is that it’s only about 50 minuets drive away, so not a terribly long drive. I thought I may have had to relocate but I guess I got lucky
Its principal is that a sword is to protect, and all of its kata’s give that option until the very last blow. My sensei has been learning it for 20 years and has only taken a handful of tests. Each year the sensei takes the most gifted students to Japan to be graded. I just hope that I can prove myself worthy of this. My sensei also has a student that has taken his vows to come a monk, and is willing to help me down that path as well I would assume.

is the place if any of you are interested in the validity of my statement. And the life that I would like to live is possible, with time and dedication. Just because you have a few kids who watched a bit too much anime come and annoy you on the boards please don’t treat everyone like that. Right now I’ve been searching for the right temple to begin to serve at in the area, but in Michigan I think that’s going to become the most difficult task
