Accidents happen. And in America, they bankrupt you. I had an accident on Sunday. Totally predictable, run of the mill accident. Running at top speed, in a padded gymnastics facility, I pulled off a long kong (diving jump with my feet behind me) over a 5-foot tall vault. The landing was not glamorous; I turned [...]
Today I went out for a beer with a box of my old notebooks. The box down center, not the four shelves behind it; the corpus and I have a date next month for Collage, when I cull whats worth keeping from a decades worth of shopping lists and examination notes. What I found this [...]
Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know I am breathing out. Breathing in, I dwell in the present moment. Breathing out, I know this is a wonderful moment. I spent some time with this meditation this morning, and I realized that I tend to spend my time wayyyyyy [...]
I am squashing my ability to accomplish by trying to accomplish everything alone. I am sitting in an empty television studio, that I have access to today, by myself. Symbolically, I cannot record. I had a basic idea of how to do it; I brought one DVD and a seven minute juggling act, and thought [...]
One of the peculiar aftereffects of The Master Cleanse is how MUCH of your yuck gets cleared away. And I’m not just talking about physical and intestinal yuck; I’m talking psychological yuck. I’m now cruising into Day 5 of maple-lemonade-cayenne potion as my only sustenance. Before I started on Monday, I took a 2-day long [...]
Since my financial world got rocked last year (like so many other people) I've been paying extra special close attention to ways I can change my money vibe, and prep for a dynamite, kickass year in 2011. The thing that's been standing out the most, out of everything I've been reading: give money away. It [...]
Today, I'm sad. Today I finally accepted the fact that Danger Man is retired. I've been denying it, at least partially, for some time. But today, it hit me. I was going to go to Supercon, another superhero-themed pub crawl, like the one where Danger Man made his public debut. I couldn't think of anything [...]
Im up late, and I cant sleep, and its a perfect time for worrying about the future. I've got a habit of learning how to be moderately good at lots of new things. This is keeping me from working in a field where I can really excel, and I'm counting the years adding up (33 [...]
Art, or Alchemy, is the XIV Trump in the Thoth deck of Tarot cards. Every year, on my birthday, I draw a card that symbolizes the coming year. Last year was the year of the Fool, whence I drew the 0 of Trumps, that beginning of journeys that leads you into the unknown. At the [...]
I came across a good smack-in-the-face post this morning, and I'm using it to wake up. Now. I've been aiming for different degrees; for 6 months away, and for 10+ years away. But right now, I am focusing on an entirely attainable goal: my life in 2 years. I want to be living somewhere other [...]
