I've lost a cat. My grey cat named Todd is MIA for the last 5 weeks, and I don't see him coming home. I'm hoping that a neighbor took him in, and he's lounging on a couch in front of a fire with some happy kid giving him pets. Chances of this being true are slim, but I"m praying for it none the less.
Thus, I was down one cat for a while, but not anymore. Now, I have a very rambunctious semi-kitten named Jimmy, who torments my plants, chases my dogs, yowels at my bedroom door & knocks everything from the tables & counters. But, he has the loudest purr, snuggles me when I'm reading, gets along with the dogs (my other cat Jack is getting better, she doesn't hiss any more), visits me when I'm brushing my teeth or showering (the strange guy likes water) and has an automatic 'empty food bowl' sensor built in.
I miss Todd, he was my boy, and he always knew when I needed some love. But, now Jimmy has a chance for a warm home and loving family. Its not like I needed to have two cats and three dogs, but I can afford it, I love them and it gives potentially homeless animals a home.

Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Insert Music Note)
So, its time for the annual Pandemonium/Sweatfest. I hope that everyone doesn't just think of this even as another annoying fundraiser or hoop to jump through. This event is one of the best things that anyone can get involved in, if they really put their heart into it.
There are so many wrongs in this world, and many believe that these things are not correctable. But they are, if only people could see how their actions can cause ripples, and how those ripples can produce waves.
Think of all the stories that have come out of Kwoon Talk and through these blogs. When the lady at the restaurant came to the conclusion that someone from SRKF had bought her meal, because thats what we do, there is a prime example. Sifu Brinker has put his soul into this school and into these ideals; of empathy, compassion, accountability, awareness, personal development and self defense in a broad sense. It shows. Its not that this school only attracts individuals who already have these qualities. This school creates these people, you people, and I'm unbelievably thankful and proud to be apart of it, to be one of you.
Please use this years Pandemonium as an opportunity to help others outside the school become aware of everything around them. We are not raising funds for ourselves, and even though the funds we do raise will go to great causes, its the awareness that we all pass on when we approach our comrades and family and explain to them what we are doing, for who and why, that will ultimately lead to the changes we all seek.
