time for a new blog. i know! you're excited by these prospects.
the primaries are shaping up to be very, very interesting. so far we've got mccain, which is just fine with me, and hillary who is also fine. obama has a caucus under his belt and so is still a contender. he's a scrapper so i favor him but it's a jungle out there....

It is weird how you get some modules that want the Earth for sod all. My second Tourism module wanted group presentations and such on airlines and it only ended up being useful for one question on the exam paper.

She never even bothered marking the presentations. Which she made mandatory, on my birthday and meaning I had to miss a friends funeral.

Hope work went ok man, you did indeed just miss me, not by much though.
aesirr:
Early man, its just coming up to 7am, been up since 5.

Knife sounds cool, looking forward to seeing that.

Money is good too lol, I get paid this week so I will at last have a bit more cash to my name.

Shame my new pay rise won't have kicked in yet lol.

Here's what the Bush presidency has gotten you and I


worst president in our history, hands down and no doubt even in our time. that's a rarity.

i am so deeply saddened by how this presidency and this agenda has affected out interactions with each other, too. where is the empathy and tolerance, guys? it's gone. i find myself disregarding the feelings of other even...

wow. it's been one hell of a couple of weeks!
first of all, i started up some jovian spagyrics, which will help with the consequences of the common cold. they're going to be amazing. i'm making two from Pinus ponderosa to test a regular tincture against a spagyric both herbally and homeopathically and i've got one started with Rocky Mountain Juniper, which should be an...

That's some wisdom, for sure. Crataegus, with it's amazing thorns, is truly a heart protector.

I"m also glad to know you, and to know there are other people who resonate with similar ideas and experiences as I do.

I just learned about spagyric tinctures from my man, i'd love to know how your experiment turns out.

Peace.

Dear Phaedias,
How do you pronounce your screen name? I have a nephew named Thadias. Is it similar, but with an F sound? Or am I way off? Just curious. When I think of my cyber space friends I like to be able to pronounce their screen name the correct way inside of my head while I am thinking. It's a really unusual name. Is it like the name of some great philosopher or something? Do write back soon.
In real life with my fleshy friends people sometimes mispronounce ElleBelle and call me Ellie Belly or Ellie Bell. It cracks me up. I don't have the heart to correct them because I've let it go on for too long- they'd be like wtf? Why didn't you tell me hella days ago? Most people just call me Ellie Or Elle. You pronounce my screen name like this: L Bell I'm sure most people already know that. I used to always go by PinkMbrella as a screen name for like 10 years on aol. Then I changed my aol account to PillowParty because I started selling the sexy time toys at parties. PinkMbrela is a euphanism for vagina. I got it from a Red Hot Chili Peppers song~ MellowShip Slinky in Bminor (or major) I forget. Anyway- I originally would have used PinkUmbrella, but at the time in like 1995/96 AOL would only let you have 10 letters in your screen name. I hate aol, but it is easy for me to navigate. I should just get a hotmail or yahoo account and suck it up. I am not sure if you can store old mail on there or not or keep some mail as new mail even after looking at it. I guess I just really like the convenience of aol. The only other thing I like about aol is the fact that it is easy for me to access my favorite sites. Anyway- I think I'll leave this message in your comments under your blog as well as here in the Dear______________, thread.
Smootches, Elle kiss

My Shaman burns this really gorgeous smelling wood called St. Johns or Georges or something or another. I wrote her an email a couple weeks ago to explain to her that I haven't been able to come to our last journey because my head hasn't been right for awhile. Anyway- when I wrote to her I asked her what the wood was and she responded, but now I am having trouble retrieving that email. Suck. It left such a lasting impression on my olfactory.
Anyway- my head is somewhat straightened out right now because Nurse Ratched uped my meds. Are you old enough to get that cultural referance? She's the nurse from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest staring Jack Nichelson. I need to go see my shaman for our last journey. She's fan fucking tastic. My psychiatrist hooked me up with her. She was an anthropologist for 30+ years before becoming a shaman practitioner. She's led me on 3 journeys so far. It's pretty trippy. Actually the first time I saw her she did a de-possession on me because I had 2 spirits attached to me. I knew for years about the one. It was soooo f*ing trippy when she did the de-possessions. I'll never forget it.

I hope you ended up studying.

Love and Much Light, Ellebelle

Ooh, nettles! I'm taking care of some hard stuff in the Denver area this week (separating all my stuff from my ex's, etc...) but I'm heading up into the mountains by Sun or Mon to be with the new man and to start a new life. I hope I can wildcraft some usnea lichen before the season is over. I'd love to come out and spend some time in Washington next summer.

i agree love the colors of the leaves right now and the crispness in the air is beautiful

i think that we can all agree that we have about reached the limits of our extractive culture. there are so many little signs of a system that is out of balance and teetering towards a complete meltdown.
for instance, we are currently- that is we taxpayers- shoring up the financial sector of the economy, specifically the banks, to prevent a world-wide panic and likely...

Thanks so much for the offer, I love Seattle but at this moment I can't wait another second to get back to my new life on the mountain. We should keep in touch, I'd love to come meet you and spend some time in the northwest forest wildcrafting. That sounds like a beautiful thing to do before you start your ND practice. All the blessings in the world to you, we should stay in touch.

as much as i've seen that makes me believe that we are all going south in a handbasket and that we are going to, through laziness and greed and misplaced confidences, ruin the entire terrestrial ecosystem with us, I have just found a few great reasons to be excited for the prospect of living out the beginning of the end of things.
it's really weird...

there. i put you in my phone. your name is Jerm. smile hehe

p.s. Have you read Sidhartha? The way you talk reminds of this book. It's only 150 pages and a lot of people like it. Some people use it in life. You might want to read it, if you haven't.

i have not finished it yet, but i will. i want to go to a river. i mostly just want to relax and find myself right now. i want to hang out with new people that will help me do this. i want to start a whole new life. and i'm pretty sure i started it today. i'm happy about that.

anyway, i love that quote. i always have. i also love "an eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.", which i'm sure you already know, is also by Gandhi. i want it tattooed somewhere on my body. i think it's beauitul.

The Machine? hell yeah! Little Miss Macho? I've never heard that one before. please, explain! lol or...did you mean Nacho? because that would make sense...from our previous conversations.

cleavage shots? psh. you don't have cleavage. you're not even a chubby kid. not a fair trade, mister. wink
