Inventory & List of Priorities (1)

October 15, 2009

Ok.  Check it as I wreck it: I’ve been all over the place lately.  Looking for instant gratification in all the wrong places.  Well, the right places, but instant gratification isn’t what I need; I get too wrapped up in it and forget about long-term goals. So here’s my plan:  I’m going to do an [...]

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

October 13, 2009

What’s your current outlook on life?  Is it rosy?  Is the glass half-full, or half-empty? What’s your focus on right now?  Not in general; I’m not asking if you’re an optimist or a pessimist, but rather how you view life right at this moment.  If that’s a bit too pressing or hard to nail down, [...]

Pride and Fear

October 5, 2009

When I think about my character defects, I generally try to relate them back to the seven deadly sins.  This keeps me from coming up with more character defects than I can possibly work on.  For example:  I’m constantly late for work.  Being late in and of itself is not a defect of character – [...]

Zen Calculus

September 15, 2009

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about ego deflation in the last couple of days.  I was speaking with a friend of mine this evening, and she passed along this aphorism:  “10% of life is what happens to us, 90% is our reaction to it.” Now, what I’m wondering is if we follow the “kill [...]

The Weekend Isn’t Over Yet

August 30, 2009

When I dance, I dance; when I sleep, I sleep; yes, and when I walk alone in a beautiful orchard, if my thoughts drift to far-off matters for some part of the time for some other part I lead them back again to the walk, the orchard, to the sweetness of this solitude, to myself. [...]

On Meeting People on the Internet

August 20, 2009

I’m kind of a weirdo.  I don’t have too much of a problem admitting that.  It works like this:  like most people, I have idiosyncracies, some of which I’ve cultivated.  At some point, they may have qualified as affectations, but now they’re part of who I am.  Some of the bits of uniqueness that I’ve [...]

Time for an Overhaul

August 18, 2009

I think about having sex a lot.  Not always with your sister, but often.  I sometimes think about having sex with girls who are only-children too (by which I mean no siblings), so the your-sister-thing really can’t be called a proper fetish.  Fishnets and stilettos, maybe.  I would think adding leather corsets into the mix [...]

Desiderata

July 16, 2009

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and [...]

In Pursuit of BE-ing

July 6, 2009

I did not go hiking on Sunday.  Which is to say that I did not go hiking today.  Or yesterday – I’m not sure when you’re reading this, dear reader, but seeing as how Monday officially began about ten minutes ago, I suppose I can’t really go wrong with saying that I didn’t go hiking [...]

On Thinking Too Much

June 25, 2009

I’m pretty sure I’m over my “haven’t got a girl” whiney time.  I know that I only really whined for that one post, but that’s a lot for me.  For me to sit down and blog about being lonely means that it was weighing on my mind more than usual.  Whatever.  These things happen.  Thanks [...]
