Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

God is not in the temple, God is not in the mosque,,,

And that quote from a video set the mood for the day,,,   NOTE: not saying there isn’t a God, only that the symbols do not equate to the being.)

who do you want to be today?

Lets trip down that rabbit hole, (caution, one hour plus, BUT, it will suck ya in fast and in fun ways.)

We all know this reality isn’t real, we have memories that ‘don’t fit’, things sometimes happen that aren’t explainable, not really.

I still have a dog in my life, that came to me after I looked to the skies and said, “I just wanna a dawg!” after holding a conversation with a scorpian under the Texas sun in July.

Yuppers,, still hangin in there, 13yo! and deaf as doornail, but still keepng the hooligan neighbor dawgs in line.

I get frustrated.   I know this ‘reality’ is malleable as putty in a sculptors hands.  Seen it.   And yet, those little quarks like funky Carbs on mowers that don’t wanna function correctly without ‘work’, or differentials on trucks that whine and wheeze,,,, They sure make this ‘reality’ feel solid enough, don’t they.   

Guess I am not some Yogi master yet,,,,

ROFLMAO,,, Yeah,,, as if,,,,,

(one can have goals though,,,,)

For some reason, the water didn’t call to me this week.   Went,,, just no desire to paddle,

And I can say why,,, I didn’t want to be out there alone this week.   I wanted to share it, (not with the burnout,,, he wouldn’t appreciate it correctly,,,)  Because of that, the draw just wasn’t there.   That’s alright, I will have other days where that is the ONLY thing I want: Away from every pendulating richard suckin atmo, silence except for paddle splash and the shoosh of a hull through waves, or hiss of rain on lake surface: me, alone with my thoughts, and little between me and Universe to interfere.

And life is good, my end of it anyways.   I looked at the bank account and saw numbers that give me a warm fuzzy feeling.  Nothing mindblowingly stellar; more like “Cushion”,,,   (and this gets brought up in that video above, money brings it’s own problems.  I know it, BTDT on a small level and remember the stress levels. )  yeah, even with the idea that I am going to be spending mad money on Buffalo here soon, not fretting about making the ends meet. (and if things go sideways, won’t worry about it then, and won’t be the only one.  Will be far more worried about keeping mine MINE, and staying alive, then to worry about credit scores or some banker far away getting antsy about his failing numbers.) 

yup, even without the water time this week, feeling pretty good about things.

Now if I could just learn to manipulate this reality to ‘fix’ carburators and wornout differentials, with my mind,,, not just tools and hands, (and money,,,)

Who do YOU want to be today? 

I choose ME.   (but who am I?  LOL)

Keep on livin’

    Right choice, Bro.

    I is whut I is, good, bad, or indifferent. It’s whut it is, and I have no other aspirations – ‘cept to improve. I suspect yer at least similar. Don’t give a flyin fuq if anyone approves or not. And – I choose me, as well!

    If’n ya find how to do that there manipulation stuff, lemme know, willya?

    Glad to hear yer $$ sit-y-ation is lookin up, too. Frustration is a real thing, but so are goals. Very glad the dawg is hanging in there, too.

    This un (snorin away in my lap) is at the opposite end of the line, and a PITA at times, but he’s my boy. Mighty glad he puts up with me. One-a Gods best creations, IMHO. YMMV.

    Y’all take care & stay livin,
    Mike in FLA.

  2. I find that Boingo song very inspirational… I have it on my “workout mix” and listen to it a few times a week, helps me get my mind right!
