Wow. It's late!

It is 1am. You should all be sleeping. I, too, would normally be sleeping but my friend Anthony is coming into town and his flight got delayed 3 hours so I am waiting to pick him up around 2am. Now although I am horrible at keeping in touch with friends, this justifies my self-imposed title of "a good friend."

I have some time to kill so I will reflect on my recent happenings. So for those of you that still read this blog, sorry if I ramble on without any sense of order or... sense. (Thanks to those of you that still remember us by the way!! :)) Today, I was rehearsing a scene in the apartment for my upcoming shoot to finish the film "Greenside". Towards the end of the scene my character rises out of his seat to grab someone's neck. Instead of powerfully lunging out of the chair, I stumbled out of it as I broke the chair. As a bonus, my right leg was cut pretty deeply by a shard of the broken wood. AWESOME! not so much...

So my leg hasn't really stopped bleeding. Not too much pain, but just a lot of blood. Hopefully it stops sooowoafjeawiofmsd......



Whew. Blacked out for a moment. Just kidding. So anyways this Friday I fly to Chicago and then I will be driven 2 hours to Madison where I will film the final scene of this movie. As I look back from the footage of what we originally shot almost a year ago, I laugh at my "acting" chops. Not that it was horrible, but it wasn't... what's the word I should use.... good. At least I can see now that I can do much much better now and that's a symbol of my growth as a performer.

Since the end of the play I have enrolled in an acting class that meets once per week. It's a really fun process for me to study the craft of acting. After doing martial arts competitions for so long where there is a cut and dry 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, it's nice to make a change into something that is a little less cut-and-dry. There IS a right way to do a punch or a kick. There is NOT a right or wrong way to play a character. It is simply a choice. That being said, some choices are stronger than others. I have made it a point to practice everyday, but I know I could be practicing more. So I will.

Lately I have also been having a lot more free-time than I have had in a while. So I have taken up cooking. Mrs. Moh is at work all day working hard for the family and the least I can do is have dinner waiting for her right? Right. I've only been at it for a few days but needless to say she is quite pleased. I've been surprised at how good my creations have turned out! I have also made it a goal of mine to get my body in tip top shape. I've been going to the gym almost everyday and have been trying to get back to being the martial artist I was way-back-when!

Cheech had his teeth cleaned. Boy were they dirty. $400 later they are now spotless. They had to extract a tooth because it was infected. Cha-gi is turning out to be a great dog. He and Cheech play for hours a day now so that makes it much better too. Not all dogs are perfect though... he snores louder than (insert someone you know that snores very loud)!

Let's see. what else.... we are going skydiving next weekend. Wow. Should be fun. Kinda scared. But don't tell anyone.

Okay I've written too much. One last thing: Wall-E rocks!

Hi Mohs! We haven't checked the blog for a while, but good to catch up on what you are up to. We moved! Still in Woodbury, but to a bigger house - needed with 3 kids. They are all getting so big. Abby will go into 5th grade, Luke into 2nd and Jack will be in kindergarten. We were driving through your old neighborhood the other day and Jack said "there is where Mr. Moh and Miss RK live!" I couldn't believe he remembered.

The kids have lots of friends in our new neighborhood. Families everywhere. The adults have lots of new friends too, so it has been great.

Taking a break from TKD. We moved without selling our other house - dumb, but no regrets, so with 2 houses (and soccer 4 nights a week), we needed to cut something out. Luke is going to start hockey this fall, so not sure if he will be back. Abby has enjoyed the break too, but I think misses it.

OK - all is well with the Mears! Take care!!!
