Darcy, one of the main reasons I love Mahalo Answers is because it introduced me to you. I have enjoyed getting to know you and learning from you. The brown belt is well deserved!
Okay... this is getting a bit TOO much like a dojo. I recognize that you've been studying TKD for quite a long time, Jason, but...I HOPE you're kidding about being evaluated by "masters".
Congratulations darcy, Here is to hoping you get to blackbelt soon!
Whoo-hoo! Go Darcy! And, just for the record...she does tend to come up with some rather good answers.As just joe-schmoe user, I will usually take a moment to read her responses even when I'm skipping others.
She'd have my vote.
I really enjoy Darcy's answers. That said, I hope all other brown belts are not held to the same high standards as darcy.
Mucho Congrats! No one can compare to Queen Darcy!
Well its very hard to argue with all the sentiments expressed above. We should all emulate her. If I hadn't checked her profile, I would her thought that she was not human, but maybe a verterbranne .
She has worked her way up and she makes us feel a wee bit guilty when, we sign up and see that she has garnered more points and dollars while we slept. Congrats Darcy I offer you my two Brown Belts too,Below.
I feel exposed and strangely nervous....Okay, I need a few excuses. Here goes: FOCUS: Have you read my profile? I'm ADHD!
SPIRIT: Well, I work with spirits during the summer, does that count? STRENGTH: I weigh 115 pounds. I can only do so much!
EMPATHY: Considering my answer on the empathy question ( mahalo.com/answers/mahalo-answers-commun... ) let's move on...DISCIPLINE: If I had more discipline, I would be working instead of playing here on Mahalo Answers!
Cool! I wish Darcy well, and hope the process developed works well. I intend to be there myself one day.
Congratulations, your kicks are very powerful and your sparring is good. Build your Chi, trust your inner voice, see with your heart, react from your spirit.
Darcy is the best and should skip brown belt and go straight to black! Also she paid me to write that. I wasn't going to admit it, but the guilt is just too much.
She has the same percentage of useful and best answers as I do and I just got jealous. Really though she deserves a brown belt more than anyone else I know. She even answers questions I IM her and I don't give her any points at all for it!
I hope you still remember us lowly purple belts as you gain your new powers.
Wait. Isn't there a bathing suit contest round?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
