waiting for as long as i have
in continual longing
and desperation
with all of the longed for
facing in the same direction.
our wind is blowing in a new direction
not at our backs
but whipping our left cheeks

tv and sugar

I started taking vitamins. As an experiment. I really think it's infinitely better just to eat well, but, I am testing my belief. The first 3 times I swallowed the green megapills I felt pretty energetic. I'm on my 5th or 6th dose and I don't get that energy anymore. It was likely due to other factors.
I was considering measuring the length of my hair now and at the end of the vitamin month to see the difference. Then do the same thing sans vitamins. Breaking edge of science right here.
Also, I'm getting super fat. Out of control porky. All of a sudden in the last couple weeks I'm outgrowing my clothes. Fatty McFattenstein. I blame television....just for fun. I have had fantasies of smashing it to bits. It compels me to sit on my ass much more than I would without it and it contributes nothing of value to my life. What do you think Chris? Putting it in the coldest room in the house only makes us use blankets. Damn tv and sugar.

it's my life

Every morning I wake up. That's my routine. Sometimes at dawn, usually after...almost never before. After that, I let myself choose whatever. I get to choose to be to work on time or early, or late. I get to choose what to have for breakfast, or whether or not I have any at all. I don't even have to go to work if I don't want to. I could walk away from everything tomorrow and go live in a box if I wanted.
I'd say most of the time I ignore this truth. So do most of the people I encounter every day.
Further, if I embraced this idea, I could consciously direct my life and choose to feel pretty good much of the time. Awareness. It's a energy-consuming choice. At least in the beginning. I've never taken it farther than that, so for all I know it could be a breeze after a while.
Underneath this, I feel a large part of why I decide to fill my life with "have-to" and "I have no choice" is the sheer weight of responsability. It's all good when I take conscious control and make a good decision. But I like blaming other people and circumstances for my "failures".
Even worse, what if I set some beautiful goal and work for it and it still doesn't happen? What if I make my best effort and I fail? The idea of exhausted possibilities frightens me more than anything.
People believe they have time. They tell me that I have time. I always feel they're mistaken. In my experience, I sense time moving like water. And I never have it, I only feel it.
How about you? How much time is yours?

I was thinking about teleporting the other day. If we ever figured out how would there be a lot of teleport traffic? Would people still get murdured? If you could just disappear out of arguments or whatever where would that put us as a species?
Maybe it's possible you could be daydreaming and get it confused with actually being there and disappear during work or school or god forbid, sex. Just a thought.

smell my....

I've often thought about why we humans like to smell like things that we could never naturally smell like. We want to smell provacative to bees. Makes me wonder if we have more in common with honeybees than dogs, our famous best friends.
We don't want to smell like human sex, we wash that away and add pollinating insect attractant. Anyhow, this makes more sense.
Don't you think?
I recommend a great book on the subject, Tom Robbin's "Jitterbug Perfume". As my friend April said when introducing me to this author, "He will fast become your favorite." It's one of those books that can briefly take over your life, and afterward, you'll seek out everything he's written and buy or steal it immediatly. Possibly. Not necessarily. It's probable.
The jitterbug perfume book also ignited in me a desire to go to new orleans. Before. I should have. My unborn children will be incredulous one day that I missed that city in it's glory days. And I'll agree with them.
I'll make some excuse like "we didn't have any money, and you kids are so spoiled compared to what we had" bla bla bla...............
