Sifuphil Is now in The Hot Seat!

[SifuPhil]

Phil.
In people's minds, I would like them to think of me as a lovely Cuddly Teddy Bear.

What animal would you like people to think of you as then?

A dragon. They have both power and wisdom. Plus, they fly!

 

[SifuPhil]

Ralphy.
If it is alright with you and Phil, I would like to plonk you in that Hot Seat late tomorrow (Wednesday evening).
Is that OK guys?

Works for me.

I'll bring the restraints.

 

[BlunderWoman]

Nah, but I saw the 9 and a half there and I gots scared.

Lol

Vicky I must say you really are a fraidy cat because there is just no way anything is reaching anywhere near Canada

 

[BlunderWoman]

Phil, why metaphysics? Were you seeking wisdom?

 

[SifuPhil]

Phil, why metaphysics? Were you seeking wisdom?

In a way, yes.

I also thought it would compliment my plan to teach T'ai-Chi, a martial art with deep Taoist philosophical roots.

I wanted to be able to do metaphysical counseling.

Plus, there were a few hot girls in the class ...

 

[Ralphy1]

For those who might be interested, I muse over my martini in the evening and come up with profound thoughts like my thread on cement today...

Speaking of 9 1/2 have you ever seen the movie 9 1/2 weeks and what do you think of strawberries as erotic tools?

Yes, I have seen it. I've always had a crush on Kim Basinger.

There's a tray of strawberries on my kitchen counter right now - I'll get back to you in, oh, 10 minutes or so ...

 

[Shalimar]

Strawberries dipped in white Belgian chocolate!

 

[SifuPhil]

Strawberries dipped in white Belgian chocolate!

NOW she tells me ...

I was using Ranch dressing ...

 

[Shalimar]

Can't take you anywhere Philly. What was the most tender/uplifting moment you can remember?

 

[SifuPhil]

Can't take you anywhere Philly. What was the most tender/uplifting moment you can remember?

Hmm ... I'm more used to remembering the most violent and terrifying moments.

Tender and uplifting ... I would say the birth of my first son. There was just something magical about it.

 

[Shalimar]

It is difficult to top that Philly.

 

[SifuPhil]

It is difficult to top that Philly.

Thank you, m'lady.

I have seen them running across the tips of trees now that you mention it. Saw some odd things in Fung Fu Hustle too.

 

[Ameriscot]

Philly, have you ever had lucid dreams or out of body experiences?

 

[SifuPhil]

Philly, have you ever had lucid dreams or out of body experiences?

Lucid dreaming, yes - used to practice it in college and for a few years later.

OOBEs are a different story ... I've approached them but never in the accepted ways.

I used to practice it in the 90's when I got a how-to book. Almost had an OBE - had the vibrations, but got scared.

And those are just things we do on a slow day ...

It IS scary stuff until you do it a few times.

Phil, if you could go back in time and change one event in your life, what would it be?

 

[SifuPhil]

Phil, if you could go back in time and change one event in your life, what would it be?

I was running a school in PA many years ago - guess it was around the mid-1990's - and I had one student that was a child prodigy.

She was 14 years old and was the most flexible and fast-moving student I've ever had. She picked up on techniques instantly and performed them flawlessly. I began taking her to tournaments where she pretty much won everything in sight.

She came from a broken home with a missing father and an alcoholic, abusive mother, so she spent a lot of time at my school.

One day she didn't show up for class. Okay, maybe she has a cold or something. Two days, still AWOL. Three. Not like her. I begin asking around, drive to her house, mom said she hasn't seen her in a few days (!). Searching, searching, day and night, ready to call the cops.

They found her body in the river beneath a bridge.

Not sure to this day what happened. She would have been 16. Somehow I feel I didn't do enough - if I could change something it would be that.

Oh how awful! You know it's not your fault but it's easy to think 'if only...'

Philly, how sad. Poor child. Hugs.
