"I am become death, the shatterer of worlds;
waiting for that hour that ripens to their doom."
-Bhagavad-Gita
I thought of that quote while I was listening to it. It's a pretty dark record. Pretty and dark...I think it captures the vibe of how things feel in the world right now fairly well...
Yes, these are...

I believe in living in the moment because you never know when it may be your last and that thought has entered my mind more than I would like with our current global situation. But it is all okay. I love how we have access to all the good things past. I like it. I love going to a record store and seeing Patti Smith near Louis Armstrong near Philip Glass near Madonna near The Strokes... we have such a wonderful archieve that only grows with time... that is my favorite...
"You know, Jun," he said, "a fire can be any shape it wants to be. It's free. So it can look like anything at all depending on what's inside the person looking at it. If you get this deep, quiet kind of feeling when you look at fire, that's because it's showing you the deep, quiet kind of feeling you have inside of yourself. You...

my friend aska just recomended a book by murakami called "the wind up bird chronicle" last night. I really DO need to read a book by him.
fookin hell, I'm really sick with the flu or somethin tonight. I don't think I'm going to make it out to the SGSD event. I held out as long as I could today hoping I would start to feel better, but it just ain't happening. Sorry, everyone...I hope a lot of people show tonight and you all have a good time. I'll definitely try and...

"While I was growing up, there stood a particular house on our street that all of the adults said was an eyesore, a house that my dad said ought to have some gasoline and a lit match tossed at it, a great big wreck of a dwelling that stuck out like a hairy mole on an otherwise unblemished suburban block. It wasnt any older than...

Incredible description. It is always those types of places that have the most character. They are filled with all sorts of mysteries that are too hard to ignore.
My most creepy house? Hmm.... well, back in the woods behind my house there is the infamous Black Mansion. This was a mansion that was back there that burnt down. Supposedly all sorts of weird activity went on back there (think of what Laura Palmer did in the woods). But now I think the foundation is the only thing left. But one time I went back there and found a plastic toy soldier or something. Very weird and very intriguing.

I needed to take a respid from SG for a bit, and I have returned to find myself the proud owner of a brand spankin' new SG group!

Last night I had a dream that I attended a Paul Mcartney concert with my parents. As we were driving there, I thought that it would be in some huge stadium, but instead, it was held on the balcony of some funky, medium-sized, art-deco style auditorium with big, plush, (but rather grimy) theatre seats. There was a makeshift stage at the edge of the balcony,...

your journal entries, i've noticed, always encourage others to explore their own selves, states of beings, radio stations of consciousness. that's quite cool.

Hey, kids! I have not one but *two* mystery words for you all today...the first is: "cheeseparing." The second is "parsimony" Can anyone tell me these two words mean? Hint: they're related. You'll have to find out if you want to answer my questions...

enough to disarm all hostility."

I think that the above quote is a good reminder that it is easy to feel anger towards others over perceived wrongdoings and misunderstandings, without understanding the true context of the situation. Compassion is key, and...

Probably my sixth grade teacher. I was such a little hellian. I thought she was a bitch for disciplining me and I was never nice to her.
Turns out she was great.

Hey skruff, er tic,
That's a good quote.
1) You always have a chance to forgive someone right?
Not to their face perhaps but forgiveness is how you feel inside not necessarily whether you external to be said.
I hold no major grudges anymore.
Any word on SGSD?

Sigh. There has truly been some huge misunderstandings going on around here lately. I never meant anyone any ill will, and I am completely baffled by all this. I wish people could communicate their grievences better.
Questions:
1.) What's the biggest misunderstanding you've ever had with someone that caused all sorts of stupid waves?
2.) Do you ever feel like your good intentions are somehow...

Uh-oh what's going on now?
1. You know about the "misunderstanding" that got me booted for a while.
2. Other than that I try not to take all kinds of internet/online things with many grains of salt and not that seriously just for that reason.
Worst case, I just ignore it -- I guess that's a valid strategy.
I've never had a problem with people misconstruing intentions, not here at least, except for the "misunderstanding" above that is.

Argh...I'm sick with some nasty bug and I've had insomnia the last few nights. As in: no sleep of any real quality for about three days. My xmas was spent in a Nyquil haze while watching my two-year-old cousin repeatedly into a paper plate. But otherwise, it was all right! I mean, aside from my being sick and exhausted it was nice to spend time...
