Knife Throwing

On a whim I decided that it would be fun to learn how to throw knifes. It often seems like whenever I do something in life more often than not it's because of a vauge feeling of "I want that/how can I do that". Hmm...I think most people are the same in that respect.

So, after watching a few short YouTube videos, only one of which I made it all the way through I decided, what the hell? Why wait for an actual knife throwing set when I have some perfectly fine (improperly weighted and embarrassingly dull) old steak knives right here? So, I found a peace of plywood and stuck some cardboard on top, then gave it a shot. Though my arm is tired (need to do more weights in my workout routine), I'm satisfied with my progress. Only took me a few practice throws before I told myself to stop thinking so much and just go with what feels natural. Which definitely worked because it was only after that which my knife actually embeded, almost perfectly allined in the target rather than just making a small dent before bouncing off.

Learning

I have learned a valuable lesson tonight; one does not consume a large bowl of ice cream then immediately follow that with a workout designed to strengthen core muscles. You just don't.
