My grandmother forwarded this to me:
A PUPPY has been born in Japan with a large, clear, love-heart-shaped pattern in his coat.
The Chihuahua was born in May as one of a litter to a breeder.
Shop owner Emiko Sakurada said it was the first time a puppy with the marks had been born out of a thousand she had bred .
She had no plans to sell the puppy, which has been named 'Heart-kun'.
The long-coated male Chihuahua puppy was born in Odate, northern Japan

Ah, yes. For those of you who do not know, I have recently been highly motivated to get in shape. I know, this is quite amazing, but I've decided that if I'm going to Europe in 10 months, I want to be hot. Really hot.
I would actually really love to do Judo or some other such delicious Eastern martial art, or some form of Tai Chi, so that I can turn my own body into the Ultimate Weapon*, and because I think that martial arts are beautiful and filled with grace. However, until we move, there isn't anywhere around here that does that sort of thing o_o;;
So, therefore, I have been running lately in the mornings.
This morning, I was reminded of why I don't like running.
You see, the problem isn't that I get tired. The problem is that I can't physically breathe. My endurance just REALLY REALLY SUCKS. This is also partially due to the fact that I don't eat before I run, resulting in the fact that my low blood sugar keeps me on the Edge. THE EDGE. What edge, you ask? The edge of black outs...dun dun DUN. No, but seriously. See, if I ate it would defeat the whole purpose of exercising in the first place, because I would be burning what I just ate, instead of my fat reserves. Mm. Fat Reserves. (I'm not fat, by the way, guys...I'm not even really that chubby, lol. I only want to lose like, SEVENTEEN POUNDS).
See, what is more important in my opinion, is developing a strong core of inner strength - this, truly, is what I would really like to achieve. I want to be able to do push ups, I want to be able to walk on my hands. I don't want my arms to be so weak. I'm not entirely sure how to explain it, but I deeply admire athletes, especially, for example, Olympic Gymnasts, who just have complete control over their body. There are so many fewer limits to what they can do. And there's just so much beauty and grace in being able to create physical, fluid art with the body...Ahhh how to explain!! The body is an art form, the way I view it, and I want to be able to excel at this art, I want to be able to make it something beautiful.
Also, I want to actually work for something.
It's not even so much that I want to be strong...and I do feel as if I have a sense of grace. Perhaps this is also related to my obsession with the way people carry themselves. Even posture, small hand gestures, facial expressions...I think that all those things are infestiminally important. The way someone carries themself is a direct reflection of the way they view themself, of the person they are. It's more that I want to be able to be one with my body, instead of being limited by my body.
It's the same thing with dance, really...I want to dance because I think that it's a beautiful art form that just contains so much restrained, balanced strength. It is that type of strength which I seek to achieve. The comfortable strength, the strength of a young body that knows it can do what the mind wishes it to do. I want to be flexible. I'm tired of being sedentary.
My brother is getting annoyed at this blog because he says I'm acting very masculine. *raises eyebrow* I don't think of it as being masculine. It's just more an aspect of humanity. It's something I want to be able to do.
While we're on that subject, I also want to learn how to shoot. Not because I want to own a gun. But because it's something I want to know how to do, an experience I want to have.
I suppose that is a bit manly, isn't it? Along with the fact that I discovered a recent love for darts...
However, since I still want a Scooter and not a Motorcycle, because Scooters are really cute, that earns me some points back. Along with my sexy new jeans and my adorable neko shirt (^_^), both of which accentuate my feminine form. o_O
Anyway, I'm going to go do something useful with my time.
