Panda Ponderings Part One: Personal Proficiencies


   Ever since the movie Kung Fu Panda came out, a strange phenomenon has occurred.  Everyone, quite literally, has been comparing me to Po, the very panda himself.  Personally, I don't see it.  I mean, he's a slightly overweight, off-the-wall goofball, and I'm... Well, maybe I can see it now.  Either way, it's been happening, and I really don't have a problem with it.  Mostly because I think we can all learn a valuable lesson from the big lovable panda.

A plethora of panda paraphernalia.
All sent to me by other people.  Sweet.

   See, Po's story is just awesome. An ancient legend about the "Dragon Warrior" who would deliver the world from evil is all that occupied his mind.  Now, as unlikely a candidate as he was, Po was selected through a series of freak incidents to be the Dragon Warrior.  Here he was, an uncoordinated, somewhat lazy (Okay, the similarities are eerie now) panda, chosen to be the savior of ancient China.  All of the other Kung Fu masters, or Furious Five, were flabbergasted, and I'm sure Po was no less surprised.
