I'm in love again...
Rarely do I rant about how good Apple products are but today I can't resist!!
I've just upgraded to the new operating system and this has helped me fall in love again with my computer!! Also, by doubling my RAM I've made my computer almost 4 times times faster than it was less than twenty-four hours ago.
Ah, what a good day it's been for me in computer land!
Hope you are as happy with the system running on the computer that shows you what I've been up to today!!
Ciao for now!!!

8:18 AM
The number on the clock reads 8:18 AM. That number is personally important to me. It is the number (or date) that I entered this reality.
Weird that I would pick this time to start this post. Not sure what it all means. It shouldn't surprise me however.
My head is still in the stars. This morning feels like a dream. I'm truly in some magical place.
These feelings are a result from spending time yesterday with someone who's magical and dreamy.
Eric must have put a spell on me. Is it magic? Is he? Am I? Are you?
E believes in spells, is also a lion, rides a skateboard, spends his days learning at institutions of higher learning's, makes impressive art and helps people have healthy and productive sex lives.
He turns me on but turned me out when he picked up my guitar and started to sing to me. I'm most turned on by him when I see his brain at work. And he is truly hottie!!
We had passionate and intense male bonding which honestly should have been filmed.
I guess the hormones we released are still floating around my apartment and that's why I feel this way.
It's been almost sixty minutes since I started this post and my eyes are beginning to cross from looking at the computer screen. That's my que to close this post and move on with my day.
And I'm still floating!!!!

Happy Veterans Day
Personally, I'm not a proponent of Military service. However, because of my friendship with men and women currently serving in Iraq and the US Army, I feel it's appropriate to stand up, applaud and honor the commitment and sacrifice they and others make everyday!
So....
Happy Veterans day to all the vets and future vets and I personally thank you!
Many here in the USA do not support the current administrations view towards warfare and our current engagements around the world.
I'm one of those people!! I desire something different and can't for 2008 when we will be hopefully voting in our first female Commander and Chief!!!
When that day arrives, I'll be thankful..
And Happy!!!

Creative Tear
I've been on a creative tear the last few weeks. Photo's, music and digital art have flowed from these hands and mind like the water of a swift river.
This morning, I worked on a new track that took me a total of an hour to start and finish. That may be a new record for me!! It sure feels good to work like this because it makes me feel like an artistic factory.
Last night, I hung out with a cute Mo- Fo! Thanks Steven for the protein shake. Yummy!!
:-o Any who..
Tonight's Friday and I'm sitting here naked listening to my new track (SoundTitan) while typing out this post. There's a tub with hot water in it, waiting for me in my bathroom.
Now's the time to get naked and wet!!
Later My Peoples.
Peace Out!!!!!!

Buddhist thought for the week
The first step of the Eightfold Path is Right Views, which means Knowledge of the Four Noble Truths.
The Four Noble Truths (Pali: Cattāri ariyasaccāni, Sanskrit: Catvāri āryasatyāni, Chinese: Sìshèngdì, Thai: อริยสัจสี่, Ariyasaj Sii) are one of the most fundamental Buddhist teachings. They appear many times throughout the most ancient Buddhist texts, the Pali Canon. They are among the truths Gautama Buddha is said to have realized during his experience of enlightenment.[1]
Why the Buddha is said to have taught in this way is illuminated by the social context of the time in which he lived. The Buddha was a Śramaṇa, a wandering ascetic whose "aim was to discover the truth and attain happiness."[2] He is said to have achieved this aim while under a bodhi tree near the Ganges River; the Four Noble Truths are a formulation of his understanding of the nature of "suffering",[3] the fundamental cause of all suffering, the escape from suffering, and what effort a person can go to so that they themselves can "attain happiness."[2]
These truths are not expressed as a hypothesis or tentative idea, rather the Buddha says:
“ These Four Noble Truths, monks, are actual, unerring, not otherwise. Therefore, they are called noble truths.[4] ”
The Buddha says that he taught them...
“ ...because it is beneficial, it belongs to the fundamentals of the holy life, it leads to disenchantment, to dispassion, to cessation of suffering, to peace, to direct knowledge, to enlightenment, to Nirvana. That is why I have declared it.[5] ”
This teaching was the basis of the Buddha's first discourse after his enlightenment.[6] In early Buddhism this is the most advanced teaching in the Buddha's Gradual Training.
Mahayana Buddhism regards these as a preliminary teaching for people not ready for its own teachings.[7]
Strictly speaking, "truths" is a mistranslation; "realities" would be better: these are "things", not statements, in the original grammar.[8]

Well, thats what I think it looks like!!
Well, thats what I think it looks like!!
Vote Baby Vote!!
Today is November 6Th and that means Americans everywhere have the right to exercise one of they're most important civic duties.
I encourage everyone to go to the polls and participate. We are lucky enough to live in country where we can be heard by our leaders and influence the course of they're actions.
Nothing will change if we don't all play our part.
And at the least you'll know that you took the time to express what you'd like to see happen in our country. So vote baby, vote.
Because it's important and no matter what you hear...
Your vote counts!!!

Thanks for the Fun Weekend/ Photos
I was away in San Jose, having tons of fun this past weekend. Thanks to my friends who put up with me and listened to my crazy thoughts, hopes and ideas!!
The humans I meet there were cool and I'm grateful and glad to have met each of you!! You boys are the best!!!!!
Erwin, you've been a great friend and I really appricate your energy and being. Thanks for hauling our ass's there and defending me with your "Sword of Truth"!! ;-)
These photos gives you a small but interesting view. However, it tells only a small part of what I've been up to.
I must say... I live a very active and interesting life!!!
One day, many written and filmed stories shall spring from my mind. A lot of them will directly relate to this time in my life. But for now these pic's will have to do!!
I Hope you enjoy them!!!
Peace

And it will only get better
It's Saturday evening and I write this post from a long time friends apartment up the street from mine.
My mood is bright and cheerful because tonight will offer fun and eventful affairs.
People come and go. I continue to learn and grow. Removing those who hinder, hurt or harm me frees me to find others who are kindred spirits.
To finally come to a place of peace, personal growth and closer with prior abusive relationships makes my life a fine place to reside . The term "better off" doesn't come close to accurately describing the changes that were the results of ending the relationship JT and I had.
My emotional strength, self love, intellect, ethics, family, friends and lovers were the light house that I followed towards gaining back the happiness that JT stole and misused.
I can and will continue to improve and there will be a time when everything I want (and have worked towards) will come to pass.
Happy? Yes I am.
And it will only get better.

What's Going On
Many weeks have passed since I've taken the time to write about what's going on with me.
All in all my world has been quite and with out many surprises or unexpected events.
My building management job has continued unabated and remains my main source of income and stability. I'm grateful for the position and am looking to improve my financial health by seeking another position to supplement my income. Maybe a job at a gym or health club? Honestly, I'm not sure yet but starting today I'll be perusing the on-line help wanted list's. Hopefully something will rear it's head and the search wont be difficult.
This past weeks Debut at 550 Barnveld went seemingly well! The models were fierce while the haircuts/styles/ colors were even fiercer. It's so much fun playing music for people and watching them dance to my beats. I always look forward to playing for the school and I can't wait for the next Debut to happen Winter 2008!!!
The drug study at Saint Luke's progresses and is entering it's final laps. I've been doing great on that front and have learned a lot about myself, addictions and feelings.
On a personal note: I've been spending most my time with a new friend. His name is Will and honestly I'm not sure where things are progressing between us. He's a real handsome, sweet and caring guy who is starting to positively effect me emotionally. Let's hope the trend continues.
Hopefully later today I'll be able to drag myself to the gym and get a good start to my week. Working out is fun and I love the results (and attention) it brings. Not to mention that having a fit body furthers and helps my mind stay sharp and focused. Also, I'm not getting any younger and one must keep up appearances!
I guess that's about it in a nut shell.
Mr. Burns is stable, healthy and over all: happy.
I hope these trends continue!!!!!

Buddhist Thought For the Week
A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. - Oliver Wendell Holmes
Photos and more
Wow, what a interesting last couple of days it's been for me.
I've been hanging with friends and enjoying the weather of this great State I live in.
There's not a lot of time at present to delve into my feelings or for me to detail everything I've been up to so my posted photos will have to do.
I'll write more later.
Peace.

Buddhist Thought For the Week
Only the curious will learn, only the resolute overcome the obstacles to learning. The Quest quotient has always excited me more than the intelligence quotient. - Eugene S. Wilson
THANK YOU!!!
Today, I scheduled a hair and color appointment for this coming Saturday at the Paul Mitchell Esthetics and Cosmetology School. At first I wasn't able to get the stylist (his name is Josh and he's the best and hottest stylist I've worked with) I wanted.
After calling a friend (who happens to also be the admissions director) I was able to get the the stylist and the time/date I desired!
As House DJ I guess I got some pull at the school. So I'm extending thanks to my friend Aaron who once again came through for me!
This coming Wendesday (10-24) is the next Debut and Mr. Burns must look his best!!
So thanks again Mr. Palm!!! You're the BOMB!!!
