The Quixotic Jedi

At least, I think I have.  Maybe this would be more properly entitled “Turning A Corner” – I’m not sure.
For a little longer than the last two weeks, I’ve been feeling a bit off.  Less self-confident than normal.  Kind of an irrational insecurity – I don’t really know how to describe it.  Being nervous [...]

I think I’m going to be taking it easy for a little while.  I spent the first couple of weeks of the month trying to get myself back into high gear, but I think I ended up just spinning my wheels and effing up my spiritual connection.  My ego is starting to resurface.  Nothing I’ve [...]

Ok, kiddies: I don’t really know how much I have for you tonight.  I had some really effin weird dreams again last night (which is to say Monday night), but I’m not sure I remember them all that well.  I took Bob Marley out of this evening’s rotation, so I’m about as un-not-focused as I [...]

I’ve been giggling my ass off all night long.  And I’ve got Bob Marley playing on the stereo right now.
No, dear reader, I’m not pulling tubes in my apartment.  I’ve been having a great time on facebook with my buddy Matt Helmick (@IntegralHack on Twitter), and for whatever reason, I can’t blog to Marley.  I [...]

There’s a saying that goes:
“Pray to god, but for f*ck’s sake, row away from the rocks!”
As you know, dear reader, I’m something of an unwilling agnostic.  I pray – and it works – but I have no idea to what I’m praying.  I don’t have that fundamental concept of a higher power that (supposedly) [...]

On Friday night I mentioned that Saturday’s hike would probably be a short one.  It wasn’t.  Here’s the story:
Let me begin with a digression, though:
All that stuff I talked about last week in my Inventory & Priorities posts – the things I’m looking to get out of moving toward my goals (emotionally, spiritually; that sense [...]

The wrecking is complete, please continue the checking:
So I think that in my last post I basically covered numbers three and four of my prioritization process, but for the sakes of continuity, repetition and closure, I’ll cover them once more:
3.  After that, I’m going to put those groups into an order of priority – [...]

Please continue checking the wrecking; we’re almost there.
So I’ve made my list and I’ve organized it.  And here’s what I’ve got so far:
I’m leaving off the “Gig” topic for now.  There’s a lot to it that I need to spend more time researching and thinking about. Two of those points (Attorney & Teaching) involve an [...]

Check it as I continue to wreck it.
I reorganized my list into groups of things that are like each other.  And then I did it again.  What I came up with were three main ideas:  things I want to do, things I want to do, things I want to have and “Gig”.  Here’s the breakdown:
Have

iPhone
GPS
Digital [...]

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 inventory [...]
