Continue to love others and myself while furthering my personal growth.
That's it folks! Best wishes to our planet, it's people and I truly hope this is the year we edge closer to true peace on Earth.

Christmas Eve
This last year has sped by so fast. And here we are at another Christmas Eve.
Today I'm feeling depressed, unmotivated and sad. I know there are people who are concerned and who love me out there but during holidays it's easy to slip into these type of feelings.
It doesn't help that two of the three people I thought I was dating have basically told me that we were in fact not dating. Anders said i was moving to fast (when in all honesty I know I wasn't) and Todd told me two days ago all he wanted from me was sex. And if someone asked me where things stood with Keith stood, I wouldn't be able to because I don't know.
This Christmas I am still single but I won't be alone during this holiday. My plans will take over to the East Bay and I'll be spending it at another friend named Keith.
Tonight, I'll be having dinner with my boss and he always cooks up an amazing meal!
I'm trying to brighten up my own mood by staying busy and surrounding myself with friends and people who care for me.
Ultimately, isn't that what the holidays are about?

Buddhist thought for the Week
You are now in control of your life. You see, the ego is never in control. The ego is controlled by wishes for comfort and convenience on the part of the body, by demands of the mind, and by outbursts of the emotions. But the higher nature controls the body and the mind and the emotions. I can say to my body, "Lie down there on that cement floor and go to sleep," and it obeys. I can say to my mind, "Shut out everything else and concentrate on this job before you," and it's obedient. I can say to my emotions, "Be still, even in the face of this terrible situation," and they are still. It's a different way of living. The philosopher Thoreau wrote: If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps he hears a different drummer. And now you are following a different drummer--the higher nature instead of the lower. - Peace Pilgrim

When It Rains
The last few days have been very interesting for me on the dating front.
I guess it could be said that currently I am dating three different and very cool guys.
First there is Anders. He lives over the bridge in the East Bay and last night was spent with him at his home. He works with plants and designing outdoor spaces. There is much about him that appeals to me. He's also the youngest of the three at 34 years.
Next would be Todd. He's a red headed actor and surprised me this past Sunday when we woke up and he told me he was going to church. Todd is 41 years old.
Finally, Keith. He's the one I've known the longest. Ten years and counting! He's also the one I feel the safest around. Keith is 44 years old.
When it rains, it pours!!
Time will tell if any of them will last long. But I wont know unless I try.
On that note I need to call Todd because I didn't get the chance to speak with him last night.
Until Later!!!!

Buddhist Thought of the Week
The only real service we can render to that which we perceive and interpret in phenomenal existence as 'others' is by awakening to universal consciousness ourselves. - Ask the Awakened by Wei Wu Wei

Jury Duty
After putting off jury duty for more than three months, today was the day that I reported to the court house.
Thankfully, my day there didn't start until the early afternoon. And after waiting around for only a hour and a half, I was told my services were not required. That was the best thing that could have happened as far as I'm concerned.
All in all a very good day!
Tonight, Damon has a date!!!!
