December 7, 2004

I'm creating martial arts mayhem on a weekly basis now. I am totally psyched about my karate lessons. My instructor is awesome and I've already learned a ton of cool moves. I've met a couple of new friends in my class too. One guy, Josh, started the same time as me, so we usually hang out after karate.

Josh is super into weapons and stuff. He's always going on about swords and all the knives he has. He brought his Dad's hunting knife to karate last week to show me which was pretty crazy. But this week he was way out of control - he brought one of his Dad's guns to class! He brought it in his backpack and showed it to me after class in the changeroom. It didn't have any bullets in or anything, but it still scared the crap out of me. Josh says he's actually fired a gun before with his dad at a shooting range. I don't know if I believe him - all I know is that I didn't want anything to do with it.

I was going to tell my parents about it, but I didn't want be a snitch, so I just told Josh I didn't want to see it again. What would you guys do? Do any of your parents have guns in the house? .

Later,

Simon
