mr
Sorry, and to be quite honest sir, I just cannot in this star condition,
the matter is progress will be slow, I can only take it one step at a time,
and results are not guarenteed.
I C U
I choose to see with all three eyes,
I choose to see beyond the lies,
I choose to live, to be alive
to love, to laugh, and breathe outside.
What it is to have three eyes,
what it is be alive
what it is to tell truth from lies
is what it is to become wise.
everyday i choose to be
dreaming almost endlessly
someday i’ll awaken to see
what i’ve got inside of me.
A ReBeginning
What does it mean to start all over again. Start from scratch.
Well, I can tell you from experience at my job that trying to fix something old, broken, slow, that has been around a long time and yes, perhaps changed in some way, but only superficially,
I can tell you that thing that we have been ‘trying to do’ and ‘working on’ never seems to get the job done. Only...

Rearranged Days
So it may not be official that it is spring yet, but it is official that Thursday is the new Friday. And not just for college students anymore!
Indeed, Thursday has always been a popular college night of partying, but with the rise in unemployment, and the decrease of working hours overall, more people are finding their Thursday nights filled with Friday activities.
Speaking of less...

Hello world, I'm watching
Sometimes I wonder if people have to deal with me differently than most people. Are all people like that? I think about my interactions with other people and am not sure if that is an accurate viewpoint of how others view me.

Bank Robbery came early - Predetermined bank... →
Strangely, this story which states that the bank robbert occurred at 5:30pm today, which was also last updated at 5:30pm (MST) today, upon the Denver Post’s website (a questionably reputable source it would seem) was posted actually at or before 4:30pm Denver time.
Am I on daylight savings time w/o knowing it?
Even stranger, the comments that are posted do not question the time, but rather...

news
Did you know that the synonyms for news include:
“
SYNONYMS news, advice, intelligence, tidings, word. These nouns denote information about hitherto unknown events and happenings: just heard the good news; sent advice that the loan was approved; a source of intelligence about the war; tidings of victory; received word of his death.” - answers.com
Intelligence and word - that is...
Watch out world! Here I come :)
If you are not feeling at all like my title says right now, go out and buy this book: Throw Out Fifty Things by Gail Blanke. Read it, cover to cover. It will change your life.
And I’m not saying that just because it has definitely helped to change mine, but it has a lot of powerful stuff, and I’m going to do what I can to get as many of my friends to read it as possible. I’ll...
Check it
hehheh,
so worrying has been a thing of the past for me. The only times I worry are when I feel I should think about those I care about. I am concerned, and hopeful for them, however, and not worrisome at all.
Surely, some concerns are necessary when they have conditions, after all, conditions can worsen unexpectedly. But I really try hard not to think about negative or worsening conditions,...

Buses, salads, and yoga
But that’s not all. Yes, there’s more! How much joy can one fit in their day?
Tea, (new) sunglasses, special candies, emails with long lists of accomplishments, knitting, cross-stitching, flying, tap dancing and kisses.
So I’ve been throwing lots of wonderful things in a random assortment into salads and eating them lately. Bacon and hard boiled eggs being a most delicious...
TMI
Somehow my inbox is always full of emails, unread. So many I get that I never open. I can tell by the subject that I don’t have time to even click on them.
Google mail has spoiled me that way. I don’t even have to think about things, they just collect there. I’ve made efforts to filter thru it all, using an address I don’t give our for things. But keeping up with what you...
Me, myself and who?
I have been slacking on the writings! I have been busy but also not feeling confident in my post content to just blarb it all over. Also had an interesting conversation about not revealing too much of one’s own personal business - i.e. ‘broadcasting’.
Then there is all this time that must be spent lifting oneself up, and letting go of the need for others to lift one up.
Do...
Screaming
There is nothing quite as satisfying as screaming your guts out for a few hours.
Whether you have something to scream for or against, or maybe at nothing at all. Just letting it all go feels good.
Personally, I enjoyed making at least 3 Pats fans have to plug their ears…. hehehehe.
And not only had I picked the Broncos to win, but they did, and I called that they would go into overtime...
Self criticism
Writing for me is a little challenging sometimes because I am my own harshest critic. Granted I am doing this for practice and to get better, but sometimes it is especially hard to motivate. It probably wouldn’t be such a bad thing except who am I to criticize my own writing? Ha. It’s interesting, I don’t find that I am as self-critical about all things. My knitting for...
Evacuation
I saw something interesting today. About a bazillion people crowding several streets by my work. Turns out they were all there because they work in the Republic Plaza building, the tallest building in downtown Denver, and they were doing a drill evacuation. The building is 54 stories tall, so as you can imagine, this was a lot of people.
I don’t know the specifics of the drill, but it...
Clean and Serene
Oooooh my oh my oh Maya! What a magic worker :) She came over today and we straight cleaned my house like it was making us money. And when she left, I took a quick shopping trip for some organizing items. While at Target, perusing some shelf options, a guy walked by and asked me if I was organizing. I said yes, and he said ‘Fun isn’t it?’. Ha! I was quite amused. Oh, and he said...
Stranded on an island
I was thinking today in the bus that if I were somehow forced to listen to One and only One band the entire rest of my life, it might be like being married.
At first you’d be like, this is great! I LOVE this band!! I could listen to them all day everyday. But after some time, you would slowly start to get tired of hearing the same songs by the band, over and over.
I suppose, there is a...
Cheese gives it Flavor
At last, a post that isn’t just whatever coming out of my head. Finally something really tasty.
…………jk
Cheese it seems is responsible for a large amount of flavor in any good meal. From sandwiches to salads to pasta to breakfast… Amazing how some stick out and others blend. It comes in all sorts of different colors, textures and flavors. I for one am a big...

Magazines and Bags
So thanks to someone truly special and wonderful, I not only discovered the depth of my magazine problem, but was able to clear some much needed space in my house.
I love how the synchronicities work out, and she just happened to have a dresser available in my time of need for one.
It is amazing how much space clutter takes up, and when you just take a little time to re-organize, amazing things...
Cross stitching
Currently I’m working on two cross stitch projects. The first I started at least 17 years ago. I’m nearing the finish, but still have about 20% to go.
The image is of a tiger in a pool with lots of jungle around him. The part left to finish is just some jungle along the top. I am determined to finish it!
Originally it was going to be a gift, but since it has taken so long, I’m...
Knitting
Yesterday was awesome. I got paid for teaching Beginning Knitting at my LYS, and got a bonus coupon for 20% off my next purchase! I also got my commision for a hat I made a friend at work! Pretty exciting. I reorganized all my knitting needles back into the needle rolls and decided I’ll carry those around in my knitting bag, since my other bag had just accumulated a ton of needles all over...
So it begins....
Last night I decided I needed to practice writing and I thought a blog with possible followers might be the best place to start.
I had these thoughts lying in bed, tired, last night. Wanted to get up and write, but I knew I needed sleep, so alas, these are the tomorrow version of last night’s thoughts.
So, the over-arching theme of the whole thing is… to chart all my various...

optional
As I write this text,
let us not forget,
the way the Earth turns.
Someday it will spin us off,
and we will fall
but oh so far.
As it wobbles through
processions of wonder
and ages of beliefs, systems.
Tools and weapons,
forcing bridges built over lost destruction
re-construction made of plastic paste.
It may not much longer be a race,
once all the finish lines are erased
and all the...
