Weekly Forecast: Optimistic

This is probably the most awesome reading I've seen.

Capricorn Weekly Forecast for March 27th, 2006:
Maybe it's time to clear the sheets off the bed and create a play on your mattress. Bring in a lamp from the living room. String up some decorations. The more creative you are the first half of the week, the better. The second half of the week, your total lack of creative outlets stalls you. Your family needs you. Your boss needs you. Who doesn't need you? Friday and Saturday, an opportunity to whip out a box of crayons presents itself, and you nearly explode with happiness. Then on Sunday, your creativity takes an intellectual turn.

I'm going home in a week to visit with friends, family, my band, and talking about moving to Bloomington, IN. So many possibilities abound, and my creativity is just going bonkers.

Clear Vision

Have you ever opened
your eyes so huge..
To change your world..
To change your view?

An eyeball, you see..
is so widely unused..
By the world outside..
Looking for you.

WHERE'S MY PADDLE??

Things have a weird way of working out sometimes ya know?

Until the next major bump in the road.. Then it's back to square one.

I would have to use the analogy of white water rafting. While rafting down a few awesome rivers, I would get knocked by a ton of huge waves... SHABAM!! right in my face.. knocking me backwards into other people, almost sending me overboard, but each time I got back in the seat and said.. "HELL TO YOU WAVE.. BRING IT ON!" And I would continue to paddle as hard as I could amongst some of the strongest resistance I've ever felt.

Life.. you see, is that resistance. That natural gravity of time, wearing us thin, taking away our youth, leaving us crawling to our old age. But we... oh yes.... we are the white water rafters, and the knowledge we know is our paddle, the friends and
family are all in the same boat, and there's a mysterious something or someone in the back of the boat guiding us.

We're all drifters, some of us have just fallen out of the boat. Some might get saved, some swim to safety, and some drown never to be seen again.

Such is life. Ride a wave.

uniquely different

the way i'm beginning to see it is..

subject 1 - she has a beautiful way of bullshitting to people, and gets by in life from other people's bullshit, primarily because it smells, and has a stinch much like her's, and darn it.. that's ok. it's the art of talking, if there is such a thing, that she both has and doesn't have all at the same time.. which is another extra-ordinary thing about her. subject one, optimistically looked upon.

subject 2 - she has a most peculiar way of organizing thoughts in which would be quite obsessive compulsive, but at least she has the art of realizing the real life that is around her.. She keeps her personal life as tidy as she does her professional life, each being solved one moment at a time. The inner strength it takes to break through a personal struggle positively, is quite commendedable. subject two, optimistically encountered.

subject 3 - she has a way of making the world go round. the physical force she puts into every aspect of life is just a daily reminder that the whole globe spins on an axis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.. with no stopping for a breather. Buckeling under pressure isn't option one, in fact it's probably option never.. because the best way she punches through a brick wall is by chipping away at the mortar with her freakin hand, eventually busting through the damn brick wall. subject three, optimistically installed into my future.

so the realizations of the people once revered as maybe an echo of stop signs in the past, have become yield signs to the life as I know it. And the green light that was always there, is still there come hell or high water. That's cool with me. Move it along now, ya here?..

Cox a doodle do..

You see, this band I'm in (and I somehow managed to leave in the process of moving out west) has pulled together to create a masterpiece of imagination and verse. We have packed 45 minutes full of our brains and thoughts.. over one year, and many nights consuming musical knowledge and alcoholic liquid refreshments at a constant rate.. into a tightly wrapped package.

The project, the album, is available to everyone from our homepage, for only $8.00.. So, that's 45 minutes of solid music, self-created, self produced and released, and artwork that will make dad crack a smile. Know what I mean, Lanny?
