there is a decided lack of passion in my life. that distresses me.

here is why i have struggled with traditional buddhism: i refuse to give up passion. i think there is room for passion, and compulsion, because these feelings are a natural part of human existance. commonly, these would be associated as symptomatic of samsara - the veil of suffering that obscures our concept...

i honestly have'nt begun my inward search, and still count on my compulsions, to sustain me. but they dead end, and the passion is gone, deteriorating into cheap thrills and moment by moment fixes, and alas...numb.

the 100th sg monkey will come if it has'nt already and the collective will be dilluted and cheapened...

im sometimes so thankful for the chinese, because of their lack of belief in the bible, or the koran,(at least for the most part) they help keep our collective conciessness from doing ourselves in. for now
unbornbloom:
Being the intensely aesthetically motivated girl that I am.. I think that i would be strongly inclined toward tantra approaches IF i didnt abhor the notion of organized and/or instititionalized (religious)belief. O.o

also. i am sad that it all seems like disappearances will be on the rise... i feel like i got here (here being sg) too late... meh.

xo!

when i was a child, my parents owned a brown ford ltd. every sunday, my stepfather would take us for a drive. we would end up in the catalina foothills, near the end of campbell blvd. slowly he would turn the car through a roundabout, and i would see the lights stretched out on and over the desert floor. it pushed up through the pollution,...

the old man with the giant bag had a Javelin and then a 74 Camaro...I loved that car. I used to go down and just sit in it for hours when it was parked in the driveway. I used to have dreams of driving it and not knowing how so I would lose control of the car and crash..it was one of those re-occuring ones I had as a child.

As for the DNA, I SWEAR I was switched at birth with another twin cos mine's NOTHING like me...

metropolis is my favorite, as well.

today was filled with new music:

i am listening to a cd that penny sent me. it is dark drum+bass, and there are tiny whetstones flying around in my head. also, othernusic finally sent me my trans-am so now i can have my 80s scifi dysphoria.

please settle a wager: is listening to goa trance as embarassing as listening to happy hardcore?

i love ravers....

i was reading femcenobot's profile and remembered my favorite explodingdog:

"i love you, but i have chosen the path of darkness."

i had this fuct up idea once to print a bunch of explodingdogs and decoupage the top of my desk with them. i should've done it. maybe i still will. no, i have never subscribed to martha stewart living.

today, while i was...

me getting into shamanism...it's sort of bizarre actually I write on a poetry site and a guy on there who claimed himself to be a shaman he wrote me an email in which he which told me this dream sort of thing he had about a a problem I was having,...I was fascinated that he could know this so I looked up what a shaman is and I could really identify with it ...when I finally got around to writing the guy back about his religion I never got a reply cause he died the day I sent it ...I don't know it sort of jarred me into reality, and make me think what the fuck!!

i started to tell you something about why i haven't posted much to the current events boards lately, but it would sort of defeat the purpose of not posting. my idealism keeps fucking with my zen.

i will spend what's left of tonight buried in headphones, sleeping on the couch, watching the fire die. i am very tired.

lucychromosome:
ah yes thanks..and cool I'm not the only person interested in shamanism...you actually practice?
goatlove:
I think I've realized that "Current Events" isn't "Crossfire" or "McNeil-Lehrer" and will probably only participate if I'm feeling like raising some ire. I'm getting back to my roots and just enjoying the unmitigated titillation of looking hot naked girls and reading some journals. I do most of my own journalling and such on LJ now, so my one here's just for those little Tourettic spurts of genius that I get, er something like that.

I test as an INTP, btw.

at some point in your life, please listen to antonio vivaldi's summer concerto.

it seems to be sort of en vogue to hate western culture. don't. the west has created/perfected many beautiful and useful things: the scientific method, romanticism, and the adagio, for instance. unfortunately we are very mixed up about a lot of things right now, but i think we are starting to fix...

i am really good at working on my own things - i get excited and things come together. when i work on other people's things, it is much harder. i tend to drag ass. it doesn't...

my atypical newyears eve:

- lift weights soon. listen to something aggressive while moving metal discs up and down, and watch my breath condense and freeze on the barbell while doing bench press. i really need to buy a space heater for the garage.

- take the sheltie for a walk. this will make him happy.

- go get pizza with my brother ponyboy*

no...

hey man, happy new years.

yeah, things picked up on new years eve, but the events or lack of events the night before kinda fucked up the groove last night.

i bailed out early and made my way back to my friend's party and after months of interal debate, decided to start drinking

i figured it was about time

i haven't been very good at writing in journals lately; i am sorry! i have been oscillating 'tween busy days and lazy days. i will write soon, though.

things i have done today:
- washed dishes
- started a big pot of bean soup
- cleaned my cat's litter box
- fed...

my company is not a good reason to move to sf. i'm actually pretty anti-social and spend most of my time alone.

i do get out occasionally though. smile

initially i wrote an angry rant about the inanity on the boards recently. then i realized that wasn't really an issue for me. what's with the "who here can suck their own dick?" thread? creepy.

speaking of which:
i woke up this morning to my prodigal brother smoking meth. he was standing in the hallway, sucking on a glass dick, his head blurry behind bluegrey...

The boards are a waste of time. Mostly for juvenile pissing contests and people with no real ambition to do things with their life. (I mean, how can anybody justify spending so much time talking about nothing!)

I recently found out my brother is shooting up. It is just another reason for me to separate myself from my family, theyre a liability to me, and I cannot stop to help them anymore...it's keeping me from achieving my dreams.

I find that when I feel like shit about the world...being on this site really doesn't help me much. Go out and do something productive and enlightening. This site is neither, or. Read a book, watch an old Bogart movie or walk in a park...anything but sit in front of a computer commenting on brain cell destroying threads.
