whiskey and sex sounds like a great time

I just bought a new house! Next time you and/or the boy are in town you now have a free place to crash! <3

I loved this. Perfect.

And ignoramus abhoring is, I presume that you know, a new Olympic sport. I expect you to compete in the medal round ...

Good jams ya got on there, lucky you seeing Slayer soon,they're one of the best live acts around,seen em heaps,and seein em' again in July too! Converge will be kickass too.

-Me? I had Weetbix for breakfast,washed down with a freshly stirred instant coffee
- I don't really dance,but if I did I'm sure I'd get naked and do it (until I get told to cover the fuck up!)

This has such an odd flow, but I loved it. Makes me think of how a relaxed mind really works.

Hello From Texas! What have I been up to? (Relative to your blogging order)

Work:
Continuing the months long wait for my current job to be posted, post merger, so I can
apply for it anew, and perhaps even keep it.
Tangentially, why do we keep the jobs we do? I think few actually work at a job they
love or are deeply satisfied with. Certainly for money and/or (supposed) security.
But I think inertia is the primary reason. The physics of the workplace.

Food & Drink:
Moon-Pops! Basically round, six inch fused brown rice cake-like objects, but tastier than
rice cakes. Excellent with peanut butter or honey.
Moloka’i coffee, whole beans, ground and pressed frenchly, as you suggest. Worth the
extra dime or two and the time to order.

Televsion:
The Killing on AMC. Excellent, dark, well acted series.
And I am a Twin Peaks fan. The earlier seasons are the best, I think. I even have a Twin
Peaks coffee mug I ordered back in the day.

Music:
Lots of local music! Always my favorite.
And Flyleaf in CD form.

Books:
Mockingjay, the final Hunger Games book.
I know. It’s the literary equivalent to a chili-dog, but it’s a good chili-dog!
Some classic noir, The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett is next. Followed by Megan
Abbott’s new book The End of Everything, in July.

Enough for now!
Hope all is right with your world.

Thank for listening, Beautiful!

I am jealous....... miss talking to you.

Damn good coffee! And Hot! I could say more, but must insist that my log does not judge.

Preparing to change my blog (which I'll forget to in a few no doubt), I read through your response on my blog and got to turning the cogs. Don't worry....I had a fire extinguisher handy in case I thought a little too hard.

In recent months, I've really embraced meditation in ways that I haven't before. Sure, I've dabbled in the past, which was met with good benefits - inside and out. Now, however, I've really felt as if I needed it. And in educating myself into the various thoughts on meditation, I've also began studying more Eastern thought processes, with a special focus on Buddhism. And I've to come to a very heavy (in a 60's way of thinking) point.

Recognizing that cessation from suffering is possible by ending desire, I've really given a lot of thought on what exactly this means, and how it applies to me. I go through a day looking at things and wondering if I could actually go without them. How wonderful it is that I usually lose track of the original focus and begin considering more emotional things that I could give up or somehow *sacrifice* in order to end suffering.

Of course, I might not even applying it in the right way a Bodhi might apply the lesson, but hey...I'm dabbling still.

An interesting class exercise from several semesters ago comes to mind often. In this exercise, we were instructed to write down our five most prized possessions/things in our lives. One by one we were then instructed to choose one to rip into pieces, symbolically giving it up. It was a very poignant exercise, because I couldn't play the game. Choosing who or what you'd give up in life. Sure, giving up the self is easier than giving up the others (I think did give up my health before refusing to give up anymore).

I wonder if it applies nearly as much to the material possessions as it does to our mental/spiritual/emotional possessions, however intangible.

Make any sense?

yeah I most definitely have some love for mr Lynch

I love Acid Bath!! I met Dax Riggs at a show about a year ago and he is one of the sweetest people I've ever met!!!
