Blades of Passion

Sounds like a bad romance novel, right? In a way it is. My husband and I share an undying love for weapons, namely those with sharp edges. I can’t tell you how my neck tingles, how I get goosebumps, how my body starts to shudder at the thought of a beautiful sword or knife. We love to watch the shows on Discovery channel about Ninja gear and how it is used.

Our favorite show *of which we can never remember the name* documented the effectiveness of different weapons used in martial arts. There is a woman on there who is so fierce! I love how the show zigzags in and out of reality by showing you the inner workings of the wound that would be inflicted from different attacks and weaponry. It’s brutal, but awesome. My husband and I watch it side by side with our eyes peeled, our mouths shut, and beads of perspiration upon our brows. It’s amazing how weapons awaken such a fervent passion in us to buy more, collect more, fondle the blades, make them our own. I know that when we finally buy our house the basement will more than likely have walls lined with the beauty of blades glinting in the pail fluorescent light.
