"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust (1871 - 1922)
How many times do you drive the same path to work? To school? To the store? To the thousands of common places you go during the day? And how often have you actually paid attention to what's truly there?

"Never dim your light, so others may shine. When you do, the entire world becomes darker."
Not sure where I heard that. Probably some feel good movie. Either way, it's stuck with me. I think I used to do that. Hell, I think I still do. I think most people I know do. It sounds a little selfish on the surface. But ... I wonder....

That quotation sounds familiar, but I can't place it. Perhaps it's just one of those lines that just seems that way, if it is or if it isn't.
I don't think anything inspires me, actually. Inspires me to live my life? Perhaps life itself, and all the experiences, good and not so necessarily so, that it allows you to have. I was never good with these types of questions.

it's amazing how simple the concept of living in the moment is but how hard it is to actually accomplish. my awakening took time but once i understood, it changed me forever.
I must say, I do so love teh room service. 
While I enjoy my grilled chicken club and french fries, chew on this
It's always in the last place you look ...

Now that you are in Portland - don't you wish they would open a roast rodent stand!!

Does it come on a stick? Yummmmm 
Thanks for stopping by and saying hi!
Have a great rest of your weekend! I love room service too. I was at a hotel in Florida that served elephant ears, like you get at the fair...I loved it, but my 4-basic food groups are elephant ears, cotton candy, carmel apples, and crystal light. *giggle*

Thus, the dark figure went unnoticed as they slipped from shadow to shadow, working ever closer to the objective.
You never know they are there until it is too late. If you are allowed a glimpse of them, count yourself blessed, for they have deemed you worthy.
They are ninja. What kind of ninja are...

Wow. That's seriously the last thing I'd ever imagine being rented. Before this I'd have almost consider cake. 
As loathe as I am to post about this, I feel I must.
It seems Mr. Culkin has denied charges against Mr. Jackson.
NOW ... I am not here to say Mr. Jackson is guilty or innocent. Not my place, and I am certainly not here to influence you.
HOWEVER, I felt compelled to click up on the link above when I saw it fly...

LOL!! You are witty sir, so very witty 
News time ...
This guy apparantly invited another guy over to his house for a "sexual encounter" ... which was a ruse in order to kill him and eat him. Yes ... that's right ... eat him. He, however, chickened out ( there's a joke there, I'm sure of it ) but not until he had killed the guy. He decided to keep...

ooohhh, my side! my side!
That almost too much funny for one post...hehe
Spider are the eaters of mosquitoes. Long live spiders.
If I am not mistaken, according to Native American lore, spiders are a symbol for healing and medicine. Or is that the occult and certain magick practicioners?
I have had the strangest encounters with them since I began my path to this nursing degree. Nothing amazingly profound. Just little stuff, kind of hard to explain. Seen one or two at different times over a period of days. Not the same spider. Something would be going on and i would notice them. Then it went away for awhile. Always seemed to coincide with an "event". Drama, or good stuff or whatever.
Does that make sense? I am about to graduate on Friday and have seen a few this week....

i think i am almost more aghast about the referal story, where the victim was willing in the murder/eating plan.
"i'll make you famous" now has gone to a different level.
i've never lost my shoe while drunk, but i did lose my wallet. we were partying in a barn ( and no redneck jokes please) when I went to... umm... head nature's call. i kinda fell over afterwards. maybe it was those 4 glasses of vodka nad lemonade that had something to do with it. anyway, then somebody yelled that the cops showed up so i found the nearest tree and played commando for about a half hour. my wallet must have fallen out then. luckly i went back the next day and found it. oh to be 19 again!

This guy is friggin' amazing.
I wish had half that talent .... hell, I'd settle for 1% of his talent...
I suffer from a relatively common disorder. My brain is oh so capable of coming up with incredible images and sounds, but there is some sort of disconnect in the part of my brain that dreams this stuff up and the part of my brain...

Writing this from PDX ... they set the place up with wirless. Isn't technology grand?
Now, if I could just find a way to while away the hours on the plane surfing the web ... without having to take out a second mortgage to cover air phone costs that is...
In other news... whales with feet ... what will they think of next.

that's awesome you got to get out and see some of Portland! so when is your permenant move, or is there going to be one?
if you could learn how to do lashings, you could skip the metal/plastic connecting pieces and be that much more cost effective. of course you'd still have to get the cogs and other mechanical hardware.
friction firestarter... i've got an idea on that. i'll update you later on it.

i don't know of anyone else who would be interested in the ticket, but if I find someone I will let you know.
yes, 6ish is the goal
