"The right way to live [is] neither to pursue pleasure nor to deny oneself physical necessities, but to attain the wisdom that allows us to see past the misleading idea of the self.
Siddhartha Gautama, the original Buda.
Last week I fasted from Sunday until Wednesday. Its something I do from time to time to straighten a few things out. For 4 days I didnt eat., didnt have any carbonated drinks or alcohol, no sex or masturbation, (that wasnt really part if the fast. Ive actually gone a couple weeks w/o masturbation and even longer w/o sex.) or drugs, (but I really dont do drugs regularly.) What fasting does if force you to lean on the other facets of ones existence. It is my belief that a complete human being is one that can master their three parts. (Mind, Body & Spirit) Ignoring the body forces you to acknowledge the other two parts and thus makes them stronger. The longest Ive ever fasted was 7 days. I usually do this about once a year. I go until I get what I need out of it.
The song (Flowers) that some of you heard was recorded on an empty stomach. Im really energized about this project Im working on and I apologize to those of you that couldnt get it to work. (Get a newer computer you cheep bastards! sometimes when you add .mp3 to the end it works.)
Ive remembered to appreciate aromas and taste that I had taken for granted. For instance my apartment smells of tortellini and vegetable soup right now. (Im going to make some woman a great wife one day.)
I remembered to look at me for my happiness in stead of hoping others will eventually see something in me.
I remembered to use my time and energy wisely because I didnt have any to waist. Ever movement counts when your body is on running on E.
All in all, Im feeling pretty good. Unusually happy. And people seem to notice. They see it in me. They dont ask me to smile as much. It would be nice to have someone to share all this happiness with but Ive remembered to be content. Some things (and people) you just have to let go. I cant force anyone to spend time with me. Besides, some people aren't worth my time.
I know that some of you are having a hard time right about now and others of you are doing quite well and others are just content with being alive. I ask that if there is something wrong talk to me. Im not bullshitting you when I tell you I care. There are a few people in my life that If I had the power they would only receive goodness. Chances are that if youre reading this youre one of those people. (But not necessarily) So if you want to talk to someone Im here cause I need to send these good vibrations somewhere. Besides, what else would I be on here for? Ok maybe this too.
Things that made me happy this week:
1. Seeing Rosario Dawson on the cover of Black Book
2.Seeing The Rock on the Cover of OUt Magazine.
3.Reading the Articles on Woody Allen and Chloe Sevigny. This new movie looks like his best work in years. I was watching Dinner for 5 and heard Delroy Lindo talking about how Woody Allen never had Black people in his films. I guess Woody watched that episode. i havent seen all his movies but Ive seen my share and I dont ever remember (at least off the top of my head.) seeing a minority. This one has Daniel Sunjata.
4. Having more new music that I can actually listen to. (Listening to Vendetta Red right now.)
5. Listening to David Cross Shut Up You Fucking Baby
6.The drums on Ameries 1 Thing It reminds me of when I lived in DC in the 80s and everyone thought Go-Go was going to be SO big. If she had released this song before Beyonce did Crazy in Love she might have had a bigger hit.
7. The Horns on Give it to me By Rick James. He really was a great musician.

And this picture:
That's me smiling with one of the few people on Earth that can accomplish that task.
This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
Feeling my highs, and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin
And I've been thinkin - I've got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Sleep is the longest you go without eating. Thats why the first meal you eat in the mornig is called Break-Fast.
