Just a Rant
Rhonald:
The authentic Japanese sword is made from a combinations of hard, high carbon steel and tough, low carbon steel. There are advantages and setbacks to both types of steel. High-carbon steel is harder and able to hold a sharper edge than low-carbon steel but it is more brittle and may break in combat. Having a small amount of carbon will allow the steel to be more malleable, making it able to absorb impacts without breaking but becoming blunt in the process. The block of combined steel is heated and hammered over a period of several days, and then it is folded and hammered to squeeze the impurities out. Generally a katana is folded no more than sixteen times.
After the blade is forged it is then sent to be polished. The polishing takes between one and three weeks. The polisher uses finer and finer grains of polishing stones until the blade has a mirror finish in a process called glazing. This makes the blade extremely sharp and reduces drag making it easier with which to cut.
So Jo-Ma 6 years spent in creating your warrior spirit might still not be enough. Patience - soon your time will come. We are all forged in the fires of fate, tempered upon the anvil of life. What you see as 6 years of struggle I see as 6 years of experience. Embrace your hardship as it will only make you stronger. You of course should know this, after all, the weight of iron has been pressed above your chest.

Hey Josh, if you are interested, check out www.mychinalove.net. I met my lovely wife there. They don't have a lot of women to choose from but they are all looking for a real relationship. Like Arnold says, most important, get the webcam going asap and I am sure you will find your special someone, it's only a matter of time.

I am sorry guys, I don't think I explained myself well enough. My rant was more about mending a broken heart, and finding the strength within myself to push forward.

As one who's had his heart broken many times I can relate to the feelings. The truth of the matter is that when I was going through it, no amount of well meaning words made me feel better. It's just one of those things you have to work through on your own. The good side is that even when you want a shoulder to cry on, we are here for you. Feel free to rant and vent. I think that is one of the strengths of the brotherhood. We can feel free to let our hair down as it were.
When you get to the point where you are able to consider getting back into the game and find the next, and hopefully right girl I have found these words to be comforting; "In order to win the great reward, you must be willing to take a great risk."
I hope when the time is right that you find those words comforting and you move forward with confidence and strength.
David
