"Follow the storm now,
it's all so crystal clear -
Follow the storm
as the storm
begins to rise..."

Follow the storm.

And I still hate being sick.

Sitting in my apartment, watching and listening to the rain outside.

White noise, in rhythm all it's own,
the leaves of the trees flushing verdant in an orgasm of wet,
the branches swaying to and fro with the wind,
the water turning into a river in the street,
taking detritus as it flows.

Take these plastic people
read their lips
now let it linger

Is there anything that makes them sound sincere?
Come on, tightly hold your hand, take a deep breath,
give them the finger
Are you worried that your thoughts are not quite clear?

Twitch!

Amusement for the day:

"I'm very serious about not being very serious."

One of my cow-orkers decided he wanted to play mind games with me for the second time in a week today. Y'know what? I fell for it, hook line and sinker. Ended up cursing him out and making an ass of myself (again). I realized what he was doing about a half hour...

How interesting...

Boss goes away on vacation for a week. Boss says I'm now boss during that time. Now granted, this is largely a ceremonial thing, as the boss doesn't do much unless something goes boom and the rest of us can't fix it, or unless some new shiny hardware comes in. That's not what's odd, though.

My personality was a bit different today. I...

Er. I had thought I'd made another journal more recently, but I suppose not. Alone again. I'm already starting to feel the pressure of finding someone again, and I've already had a couple of times that I've been bored (probably should have gone out, but that's a whole 'nother entry in itself), but I'm free.

Having a g/f tends to make me reclusive and distracts...

"Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down..."

- Flogging Molly, "Within a Mile of Home"

Haven't heard from the lady in a few days. Called her this weekend to get together, she never called back. Figure I'll wait til next week, then write her off. Part of me is wondering if she's not doing the same disappearing act that the last...

Martial arts as religion.

"This is my church. This is where I heal my hurts."

- Faithless, "God is a DJ"

Not including religion, not a part of a religion -- the art itself is the religion. Instructors as priests, giving support and knowledge. A religion, a community, a group of people dedicated to improving the self by breaking one's own limitations, and strengthening the...

It's getting to the point that no matter how stagnant or fucked or stupid I feel, I can go to my martial arts class and feel better afterward. I get some exercise, I clear my mind, I do my techniques, and if I fuck them up, there's a lot of people there that will help me out. It's a good feeling. It's relaxing to be...

In life, it is easy to acquire...habits. Habits become patterns...patterns lead to stagnation...and things get bad.

No, I haven't become a drug addict. I have gotten into a rut , though...(again). However, at least I know I'm in a rut, and I know what I need to do to get out of it. I'm hoping that doing so will rid me of the distant, mildly...
