July. Where did it go? I just looked back on my calendar and realized that I slept in my own bed just 6 times the entire month. It's been a roller coaster...

susi:
you have a pug?? its a girl or a boy? i want to see pictures im a really pug fun i would have zillions if i could 
raging_donut:
Here he is, Susi. As far as pugs go, I'm told Oscar isn't perfect. He's too tall, too long, and not the right kind of ugly. He's also a total bastard and steals things from girl's purses, which occasionally makes my parties interesting. Once he sat down in the middle of a group with a bottle of lube that he had stolen (not mine), which caused a bit of a ruckus. 
I love him. 
I love him. My first public trapeze performance went well! I performed with FOUR amazing and beautiful women to the song, Human Fly by the cramps. I was a geeky and lovesick spider, and the ladies were VERY sexy Fly Girls who couldn't help but have a little fun at my expense. I had to remix the music with Glory of Love ( by Peter Ceterra), and the...

I was thinking of setting up a second home in Long Beach, but in the end I've decided that having someone to clean up after me is pretty nice. With that in mind, I'll just stay at the Westin 3-4 days a week and spend as much time with interesting people (who typically aren't anywhere near the hotel) as possible. This isn't ideal, but probably...

Thanks for the coment on my set The Assistant. I really appreciate it. The support means a lot to me.
So I'm wondering if it makes sense to get an apartment in Long Beach. I mean, I work there 3-4 days a week and I've made friends. The area is pretty cool, and I am totally sick of living out of a suitcase. Then again, The life I've worked hard to build is based in Seattle. Hmmm.

I COMPLETELY understand your train of thought, and where you're coming from. but take that idea, and that whole entire concept, and flip it around, to the complete opposite end of the spectrum, and that's me. Perhaps Im not nearly putting enough effort into it at all? I thought about that earlier...
gaylordy:
Hey honey, your blog is a month old now. How was your decision?! did you get the appartment in long beach or did your "old life" win???
oh and by the way: thank you very much for the great comment on my set and the compliment about my smile and the eyes!

I picked up my latest project yesterday! I ride motorcycles, but other than maintenance I really haven't worked on them much...until now. I just bought a 1974 Kawasaki KZ 400, which I will restore and convert into a vintage cafe racer! Her name is Yoshimi, and will be a little badass. My Triumph, Emma, approves.

Here's the second part...about the actual race. I told you it was long!
Marathon Weekend, Part II
Thursday, Oct 9 2008
Sunday morning was cold and wet. I woke up at 4:30 to the sounds of Bob Dylan (Blood on the Tracks), and enjoyed a lovely breakfast of an organic meal-replacement bar, a bit of dried fruit, a few almonds, and coffee. I also got...

Thanks for the sweet comment on my set. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'm going over some old stuff I wrote, and I came across this. It seems appropriate, since I'm back in training mode. Much like a marathon, this is loooooong, but hey, it's 26.2 and a lot happened, so fvcking deal. ;-)

i'm sorry for your loss. it's the least i can do to help out with such a good cause. i support Fractal 100%.

Thanks, Clio. At the moment, my brother is doing okay. Fingers are crossed!
Wow. This past week has been absolutely brilliant, but I'm a bit overwhelmed. The Seattle Moisture Festival Burlesque show was the best ever, and last night's comedy/variate' performance was off the chain! I cannot believe I'm a part of this amazing community, even if I am just a humble aerialist.
Oh, on top of these things, my marathon training is in full force, and I...

I once read a silly little theory about the source of every single great idea. The writer, a rather brilliant satirist, postulated that all great moments of inspiration, those quintessential eurekas!, are the result of a happy little collision between a sentient consciousness and a uniquely useful idea. The thing is that the Big Idea actually has a physical construct.
The theory is that the...

...where do I start?
A theory about particulate matter creating the "spark" that creates all important advancements....provable.
Interesting to think about, although, that is quite far from the "destined" belief most hold, that everything happens for a reason, and those meant to be blessed with such ideas, were always going to have them, irregardless.
And if they did not, some other great mind with the same reasoning and logic would come up with it.
..that everything comes to fruition one way or another, because it is "meant to be"
It would seem a lot of Medieval advancements/ideas "sprouted" up around the globe all in the same time frame...
As if there is some sort of "global consciousness"
Like certain ancient weapons, tools, and materials all being found oceans apart, all being utilized, and commencing in the same time periods...that fact always amused me greatly.
Another interesting cosmic, penetrating, and proven particle to look into is the Neutrino. Quite interesting, this little guy comes from an unfathomable distance away, and rains down over us at all times, and it actually penetrates every substance, regardless of density!
They are now using it in the military to "scan" engines, or like things at check points/borders to see hidden stuffs, as well, they are using it to penetrate far into the ground to better determine volcanic activity, and to lengthen warning time.
I love the idea of "space junk" raining through my body at all times...deliciously violating!!
Well, you got me, I do have to learn to "calm the fuck down" and stop buzzing around with 100 thoughts in my head at all times, with a list of 101 to do's alongside it, and appreciate my significant other.
I tend to lash, and lecture him for not keeping up, reacting fast enough, not processing information quickly, or efficiently enough....
sheesh...I need to be more grateful, indeed.

I wrote this about six months ago after a break up with a really great woman. We're still fast friends (which is sometimes bittersweet) but I was at a point where I thought we had "it". When the breakup came, I really felt like "if THIS one isn't going to work, what the hell is it gonna take?!" I felt (and feel) that sometimes it isn't about fate...it's just blind luck. The bottom line is that two otherwise very compatible people just weren't in the same phase of life, and one of them had to go take care of other things. Simple as that. It really seemed that the key was simple blind luck, which is why I wrote this little essay.
I am not really a beliver in any sort of Divine intelligence, and I really doubt that anyone "has a plan for me". I'd like to believe in that, but I can't. Ah, well....I do believe in Love. My heart is healing nicely, and I am optimistic about future possibilities.
As for your points, I don't think a "global conciousness" and chaotic blind luck are mutually exclusive. During the Dark Ages there were plenty of great ideas, but forces like The Church and various monarchies had a stranglehold on knowledge and power for centuries, and any poor bastard who challenged it was burnt at the stake, or worse. I think the Renaissance came about as the Church weakened and bright people became emboldened, but if mass conciousness is a part of that, I'm cool. :-)
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!
