The Opinionated Bastard

So some of you know I’ve been studying Qi Gong at Water Mountain in Flagstaff.

Well, the other day, I went over to a friends house and they had this toy:

Fisher-Price Games: Oreo Matchin’ Middles

Basically, it consists of these giant sized plastic Oreos with different shapes cut into the “cream filling” part. A Square, a Circle, a Triangle, a Star, you get the idea.

So I sat there, and using my Qi Gong, tried to guess what each shape was in the middle.

Did amazingly well. Pretty freaky though.

Some shapes were easier to sense then others. I ended up picking out the 4 most distinct: Square, Circle, Triangle, Star, but I got confused between the triangle and star a lot.

The other shapes, like the crescent moon or oval were harder. The crescent moon was harder because it felt both spiky and roundy, while the oval felt similar to the circle, just squished.

After some practice with the 4 easy ones, I got better at the other 8 though.

Now I had to order one from Amazon. :-)

Even though I know how to do it, and I know what I’m doing, Qi Gong still freaks me out sometimes.

Makes martial arts movies more interesting though.
