There is a woodchuck feeding in the backyard!

There is an intestinal parasite feeding in my stomach...

The stomach pain helped clear my head.

I am at peace with mosquitoes, almost.

I saw Sound of Music, and the Democratic National Convention.

And damnit most of the people reading this have left Sudbury Valley, but I hope I see you soon anyways.

I planted my Habanero's today. Gardening is fun, so is swampwalking.

Sharing

What do you have in common with friends? Interests...experiences...motivations...languages...

What do you have in common with unfamiliar people? You're both human...

What do you have in common with different species? Survival...

What do you have in common with the universe? Influence...

I think as long as something is alive and learning, you can form a relationship with it. The tactics for that I find much harder...

Ack, love.

"We are looking for a way to feel more real, but we do not realize that to feel more real we have to push ourselves further into the unknown."

Somehow, I always hear the right things at the right time. It feels wrong to be grateful towards luck.

Well, I was going to write a negative entry, but since pretty much all the other entries I've been seeing are negative, I'm going to write a positive one (in retrospect, I suck at positive).

Maybes and mights and a definite.

I might be starting to make music again, with those people I made it with before.

I maybe want to run for J.C. clerk this spring, maybe.

I definitely believe my friends are the most valuable thing to me in my life right now. Especially a few who I really enjoy seeing (though I don't see often). :/

I? hahaha, I haven't experienced that in a while...

bRAD Mehldau is my favorite pianist. He does a 20 minute solo live performance of his version of Paranoid Android. I've listened to it 20 times.

golden gate

even streetlights
under shadowed red towers

limp strength
sways,
poise and warmth

this nature's growth

Who wants to give me money that I can deposit in my new shiny bank account?

Aha! Giants tickets in California. I'm going to see Barry Bonds break the home run record.

Does anyone talk about books anymore?

Basking on the roof
with that
Youthful joy

Above my worries
in this
new place of mine

Within a Lemon blue sky
I find clouds
and a sliver of the moon

within a Lemon blue sky
the gentle burn of sunset
waits at bay

Book run!

Ben does California. Until the 16th.

How do I want to write this entry? I envision dropping my clawed hand right into my brain and grabbing some gunk which will dry into words. Maintaining a flow is hard, especially a conversational one. I think there's an ability to let the words and ideas flow freely from your head, not even realizing they were there until they've been shared.

It's a very good feeling being able to do that, but very hard to maintain. There's this fear that gets in the way, a fear that you'll stumble and won't have anything to say. That's what ruins the momentum you have.

How can you move forward if you're always looking back? Wait until you're done writing and then look at the entry as a whole, then edit. Finishing what you want to say is most important, substance is more important than flair.

*sigh*

Um, I don't know, so how do you see the world?

Hm?

Dune is an Excellent book, I just finished it. Although I read the last half of it in that distractive trance you get from watching TV too much, so I'll have to read it again. Science Fiction/Fantasy is a fascinating genre, I love exploring New worlds.

Three new quests in the works, they all involve trees.

I used to be so scared of them.
