standing on our own 14 feet

First off, I need to acknowledge Justin P for the picture. It was taken while we went to Vancouver. He's an amazing photographer and I didn't have shit for pics today. Thanks man!

You know what's one thing I really like about my friends? We're anti-authoritarian and not just in the "Down with bosses, "Fuck the police," and "Fuck Bush" sort of way. We oppose taking positions of authority ourselves. We know what whenever a good sized group of people get together, everyone has enough to bring to the table to get it done.

For example, today, our instructor wasn't at chi-kung class so for the first time, we were on our own. All of us have been taking the class long enough to pick up the routine. There was even someone relatively new there but we were able to help that person along. It was great because each of us had a certain part of the routine down so no one person took over.

This is not to say that we don't need guidance from the instructor though. He has his part too. He knows the next step and he can point out what errors we may be making. But it was nice to know that one person does not make or break the class. We didn't really hesitate in going on without him. That's how we roll.
