Thank you for the comment! Five months is really not enough time to work through all the turmoil, sadness and doubt of a serious relationship going south. Give yourself a break, dude; you're *supposed* to be sad right now. If I were you, I'd exercise more, because it takes the edge off, and at least at the end of your sadness you can be fit and strong.

You're welcome. What are the details? Email them if you'd rather.

Let's see . . . it's been a while . . . did you know I'm living with Sophie in Kansas? In my old hometown (well, my adopted hometown)?

Dude. Please get an internet connection at home, this place seems a little less bright without you here.

Hey I know I haven't commented in a long time. I have been gone traveling for a while. I have lots of new pics from Amsterdam, Iceland, NYC up on my page. I am putting the others from London and Paris up soon too. Stop by and say hey sometime. Peace - Jase

It's quite possible. Very little about me believes in such things like connected beings. But I also can't deny that sometimes, you just meet people with whom, inexplicably, you've always been deeply connected.

What I think is even trippier is when you get that sense from somebody that you've only known online.

Semi-colons and backslashes. Woah. Then I tried to fix it and just started a new entry. Whuhuh?

Apparently, I am having a pathetic day, but they forgot to tell me. Today, I am one of those incompetent people who don't know they're incompetent.

e3? no problemo.

Kings of Convenience. I hadn't heard of them before this. I will investigate. Thanks.

It's always good to have a dog called Chavez by your side.

Zen does not exist to avoid pain, but to reveal love. I hope life doesn't flatten you to badly.

I wish you great luck and challenging journeys.

charged bay street this morning. chest-high and cleeeeeean.

should be more of the same this weekend.

Dude! We should build a website for your letter archive!

Also, here is my favorite all-time quote on pain, given to me by the dangerous guy who can go invisible:

"Pain is just an emotion."

i have a box of letters that i've collected over the years. its amazing how much good stuff you can forget if the bad ending is what's freshest in your memory.

"Grief has limits, whereas apprehension has none. For we grieve only for what we know has happened, but we fear all that possibly may happen." - Pliny

I think the grief they're talking about is about moving on. It's future focused. Moping would be past focused, which would be a no-no.

"Grief is the agony of an instant. The indulgence of grief the blunder of a life."

yet,

"One often calms one's grief by recounting it." So I guess find the middle ground between the two. Find the pain that will help you grow, instead of the pain that will stunt you.

One last one. I acn't help myself.
"For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near;
My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear."
- Lord "MutherFuckin" Byron

Thank you! My plans are indeed LA final destination. I should land somewhere around April 14. Our journeys in life have more in common than you think, as my decision was set in stone a year ago when a lifelong commitment took a nosedive.

feel free to keep up here.

comment.

taketh me to mexico city!

Hey, how are Cyn and Scott?

Finding Zen in this complex world is very... well complex. Yet, once found it seems like it was there all along. That gosh darn crazy Zen.

rawr.

Time. Time helps.

So does sushi.

I'm gald you got to stare at the ceiling for a bit. You need some silence, maybe. You also know you have a peaceful getaway further south when you need it.
