some of them had me wondering, bc we do have real life ninjas today they just dont "look" like one(ex. people from paul blart mall cop)

clothes shopping is a bitch

in HS my body was just weird(bc i was growing so much i didnt fell out and it was weird)

it got better in college though

and i cant gain a sinlge bit of weight due to my metabolism is so high(yes i know i will wishing this in the future)

but ive learned to live with it and realize im blessed and enjoy being tall now

That what I hear from other tall people about shopping. I can't gain any weight either, and I don't even watch what I eat. Junk food or what ever if it tastes good I'll eat it haha. Although I did start to go to the gym more often, but even before that I couldn't gain any lol.

That show is badass. I remember the first time I came across it while channel surfing, my jaw just dropped. That stuff they do is amazing, even if they got rest between each obstacle and stage. You have to consider that they do this stuff consecutively. I can't believe they don't get worn out more quickly. It's amazing.

makoto nagano(sp?) who is the veteran and one of only 2 to ever beat the whole thing, just had the first malfunction on the course's history all the way at the end and fell, and they gave him a chance to do it again and he did with more time to spare than any other person in the comp...that guy is amazing, and he is 37

makoto nagano is a fisherman, i bet he's seen hell rise out of the sea, that's why he's so calm and collected on the course and passes it with ease.

The stuff they do on the show is ridiculous!! Their upper body strength is unbelievable, but that is like most Japanese athletes. My college wrestling coach wrestled for the Japanese Olympic team in the 96 Atlanta Games, and I have trained with their National Team as well.

I watch the show all the time and always think "I bet I can do that" but its a different story when you are out there. A couple Americans have been invited to compete but none have really done that good. The 2 Hamm brothers that were gymnasts both lost in the second round I believe. Actually one didnt pass the first, he was too short to get up the inverted wall. Good stuff though

There is only one true Ninja.
