How To Blow The Ole Engine Out

January 19, 2010

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 [...]

Diana, Where Are You?

November 10, 2009

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 [...]

Facebook and Balance in the Universe

November 10, 2009

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.  [...]

On Truisms & Beatitudes

November 3, 2009

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 [...]

Saturday’s Hike: Recap

October 27, 2009

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; [...]

Inventory & List of Priorities (3,4)

October 21, 2009

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 [...]

Inventory & List of Priorities (2a)

October 20, 2009

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) [...]

Inventory & List of Priorities (2)

October 18, 2009

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 [...]

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, [...]
