I was learning self-defense so it was necessary.
I learned that in order for your fingers to fit perfectly into your palm,
---- you had to curl your fingers -- strategically.
Knuckles rounded, fingers tucked, nails clipped.
I was ready to punch with false force into pleather wrapped cushion targets.
Making fists never became a daily practice.
Over time, as I reached my teen years, the muscle and co-ordination I developed deteriorated.
I was left with atrophied, weak wrists.
This happens when you decide you'd rather delve into music and bury your self-esteem, identity and autonomy into the music you kept.

Antony and the Johnsons was one of the true musicians I found inspiration in -- his voice.
He is set to perform on TED Conference, March 2nd, 2011.
I love the program, they hold some of my favourite speakers, artists, and performers -- who all can inspire someone.
I can't wait to see his performance.
He is also releasing his "Swanlights EP" (which I intend to buy) on April 16th, Record Store Day
I love the album art
Tracklisting:
Swanlights
Find The Rhythm Of Your Love
Kissing Noone
Swanlights OPN edit
I'm hoping he would do a North American Tour with a Vancouver date soon.
