I

I cant do this anymore.

New?

This time is redundant.
I woke up 5 seconds to early today.
I had a very real dream of waking up and turning off my alarm. As soon as I turned it off “in my dream” i woke up to my alarm.
This entire day felt as if i was 5 seconds off. And on facebook it was 5s ahead. This would explain my extra frustration on the drive home.
Why are we not happy with where we are?
Modern life has displaced the feeling of happy. I must be home, I have to be at work. I’m late.
For what?
What?
What if this is it? Every moment you experience is not only that one time unique, but more so for being there and then?
We are too busy doing the devils work to appreciate the time we have.

All is now. This is Heaven.
This is also hell.
Its up to you to choose what you see and where you go.
Focus on the good. People, animals, squirrels.

There are no squirrels in hell.

Did it again

I think I’ve done it again.
The Dragon is approaching. And I have local friends that I did’t hang out with since the last one.
Maybe an event here or there I saw them. I saw you. But not like we hung out.
This kind of thing makes me disappointed in myself. I get that I am ok being alone. But now that I’m not, I see what I’m missing.
Why the standoffishness? Why the alone?

What would I be remembered like, if it was over tonight? Not well, not as I see myself. Thats for sure.

My advice to myself: start dreaming heavily. Start doing those dreams. Live today. Not tomorrow.

One event can become many dreams realized. Take what you need, but be sure of what you want.
Dream on your own time.
Make something happen with your life, because no one else will.

It’s time for a new tattoo.

T-Shirts Retired

Finally finished up the t-shirt deal. Retiring 54 shirts after wearing them all. Some are pretty new, some very old. Just ones I won’t wear again.

Imminent Recovery

Tired from the weekend. Good times. Puppies and I need another day off.

Exuberant Intimacy

Laughing as we go.
Melting into nothing.

Do I know how? I am in a place I never thought I’d find again. Better than ‘again’…something more than I could imagine.

Why am i still here? What am i doing? I am surrounded by an energy that makes me want to curl up in a ball. Hold it close and keep it all for myself. Embracing the warmth of it and letting it flow over my body is all i want to do. Everything about it feels right, as to what i’ve been seeking this whole time. The only part that worries me is me.

Something good. i still question my worth. A good sleep, a true sleep, would do me well. My mind imagines things.

iTunes throws on a dramatic piece with Holst – The Planets – Mercury. Light and playful but with tones of emotion.

What does it all mean? I can’t hear any of Holst’s work without thinking of Jupiter.

Followed by ‘Hot Hot Hot’ from the Cure. Almost as if it knows.

Lightning. Stikes. Don’t ask when or where or why or how.
Jupiter disputes your theory that gravity is a weak force. Defeating gravity locally is simple, defeating it across a galaxy is impossible and might provide insight to ‘dark matter’ if you would be willing to consider that your equations are wrong.

i wasn’t here to talk about lightning or Jupiter, but things evolve. I don’t believe in dark matter. I think we are all ‘jesus’. The world won’t end this December, and I have no idea what I’m doing.

2011 T-Shirts: The Squirrel

2011 T-Shirt Off has reached its inevitable conclusion. Since July 25, 2011 I have been wearing a different shirt every day, culminating with all my squirrel shirts (apparently 30)

I saved “The Squirrel” for last and here it is.

The final results have not been entirely calculated yet. Total number was 211.
I will go thru and give counts for colors I think, and the number that will be retired.

Thanks for following along.

Here’s a swf of them all… All 211 2011 T-Shirts

T-Shirts by Group: Group 16 SQUIRRELS

Hard to believe I hadn’t worn a t-shirt with a squirrel on it since before July!
This is the end. Squirrel shirts. Apparently I have 30. One last one tomorrow for the finale.
The Ghostbusters shirts gets a special guest pass, as it was given to me as a gift, but couldn’t be the last shirt for this strange experiment.

The final count (again 1 more to go tomorrow): 211
How appropriate. 21 shows up again. And also this is gallery number 21 for my blog as well. Too bad it didn’t end on the 21st of the month (which also happened to be my Mom’s birthday), but still 2/2012…

And, there is one t-shirt in the mail somewhere, but it can wait until the next run to make it in.
Now I just need to weed out the retired ones, figure out the sequence for the next time, and start again. I think I’ll wear a suit to work on Monday.

T-Shirts by Group: Group 15 – the final frontier

This is it! The last group of random shirts before the final set of squirrel shirts.
A few makeup ones in here, as I seem to have missed 8 shirts on my daily routines.

T-Shirts by Group: Group 14

Just a mess of randomness at this point. Getting near the end. Finding some shirts that were missed during their proper groups…
