No-Mind Tonight

October 5, 2009

The muse isn’t speaking to me particularly clearly tonight.  My mind is kind of nowhere right now.  Which, in a zen/yogic sense, is probably ideal.  My belly is full, my apartment is warm, Laila Jo and I are chilling and listening to one of my metal tribute to Metallica discs; I really can’t think of [...]

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 – [...]

Drum Circle Report

October 4, 2009

It’s now 3AM and the drum circle is still going on.  There’s no actual drumming happening right now: it’s more of a party-cum-hangout session. Ok.  Now it’s 3:42 and everybody’s gone.  I just vacuumed, swept, mopped, did the dishes, rolled up the extra rug, and took out the garbage – mostly because I don’t want [...]

Drum Circle on Saturday

October 2, 2009

Check it: No H8rs allowed. I’m sure I haven’t mentioned this before, but I really need to go through my friends on facebook and get them all on their proper lists.  I just sat down to make sure everyone who lives nearby (and who actually qualifies as my friend in real life) gets the invite [...]

Your Thoughts, Please

September 30, 2009

Ok, so check this: A blind man was begging in a city park.  Someone approached and asked him whether people were giving generously.  The blind man shook a nearly empty tin. His visitor said to him, “Let me write something on your card.”  The blind man agreed.  That evening the visitor returned.  “Well, how were [...]

Vanilla Solitude

September 25, 2009

Overall, I think the sin I struggled with most during my trip to San Diego was envy.  I’d like to discuss this at length, but I’m tired and would like to make it to work on time tomorrow – even if it is a Friday.  So this will be short. [Famous last words of Ted [...]

Yogis Fart Too

September 2, 2009

It’s about 60 degrees outside right now (it’s midnight), and I’m guessing it’s about 70 in my apartment.  The windows are open and the ceiling fan is on, but that’s not enough to pull in too much of the cooler degrees outside.  The kitchen floor (downstairs, tile on concrete) is pretty close to the temperature [...]

Non Sequiturs

August 19, 2009

So I walked in to Barnes & Noble tonight and asked the girl at the help desk if she could point me in the direction of the self-help section.  Her reply:  “Wouldn’t that be defeating the purpose?” Joke. I know full well where the self-help section of the B&N is – it’s like the section [...]

Not Ready for a Relationship?

July 14, 2009

So I’ve been thinking about my current (semi-reviled) bachelorhood.  A couple of months ago my friend Jody (from Twitter) suggested that maybe the reason I’m still single is because the goddess was keeping me to herself.  I took comfort in that thought for a bit.  Right now I’m wondering if maybe the goddess hasn’t put [...]

On Answered Prayers and Stubbornness

June 19, 2009

So let’s continue the theme of yesterday’s post, shall we?  Sometimes I wonder if this blog isn’t some kind of fancy-dancy prayer service of mine.  I’m extremely grateful for the good advice that was offered to me in yesterday’s comments.  I’ve got two things on my mind:  how my prayers are answered, and my own [...]
