Battojutsu

Battojutsu is a Japanese term meaning techniques for engaging a sword. It is often used interchangeably with the terms iaijutsu, battodo, or iaido, although each term does have nuances in the Japanese language and different schools of Japanese martial arts may use them to differentiate between techniques (e.g. standing or sitting techniques).

The emphasis of training in battojutsu is on cutting with the sword. All terms are somewhat more specific than kenjutsu (sword techniques) or kendo (the Way of the sword), as the latter two refer mostly to techniques where the sword is already out of its scabbard (saya) and is therefore engaged in combat.

Vo Nguyen Giap

Giap served as minister of defense and commander-in-chief of the People's Army of Vietnam. With the outbreak of hostilities with South Vietnam, and later the United States, Giap led North Vietnam's strategy and command. In 1967, Giap oversaw the planning for the massive Tet Offensive. While initially against a conventional attack, Giap's goals were both military and political. In addition to achieving a military victory, Giap desired the offensive to spark an uprising in South Vietnam and show that American claims about the war's progress were wrong.

While the 1968 Tet Offensive proved to be a military disaster for North Vietnam, Vo Nguyen Giap was able to achieve some of his political objectives. The offensive showed that North Vietnam was far from being defeated and significantly contributed to changing American perceptions about the conflict. Following Tet, peace talks began and the US ultimately withdrew from the war in 1973. Following the American departure, Giap remained in command of North Vietnamese forces and directed General Van Tien Dung and the Ho Chi Minh campaign that finally captured the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon in 1975.

I'm Hanging In There

To hold on and not give up. To say I'm hanging in there could mean that you're just all right or it could imply something deeper. For example, the person may be going through some rough times, but they're still holding on and living.

Computer Chair Swap Out

When you have another chair other than the computer chair positioned near your computer. You can use a wooden chair as a cover up by placing drinks on it. And then when nobody is home, you swap out your computer chair with the wooden chair so that you don’t get any jizz stains on the computer chair while jacking off. If you accidently jizz on the wooden chair, it doesn’t leave a stain and you can clean it very easily.

All right! Nobody is home...I’m going to pull off the computer chair swap out and masturbate to some porn.
