it’s amazing what harm people can inflict on others - and assume it’s all good, because it’s a joke….if you don’t get the joke - then you don’t have a sense of humor….so really - the harm you feel is really your fault.
folks, it’s been a stressful day. work isn’t even over for me - simply because I can’t even trust other people to be professional to my student workers. That bothers me. A lot
it’s difficult to keep my temper around folks who show such a disregard for common courtesy in other people. it something that has kept me occupied for a good part of the day - and it makes my stomach churn.
i lost a lot of my appetite already….had some smart alec’s fries as comfort food. oven baked….yummy……
my bedroom window…..my room is my sanctuary. i surround myself with books, toys, and good vibes…..it’s relaxing to curl up on my bed with a book, after a long hard day at work…..in the afternoon, sometimes i can look out my window and find some peace in the birds messing around out there, or with the trees swaying easily in the breeeze….or even with some squirrels flying around from branch to branch…..
Theme: Windows
Inspiration: Of course there’s always the traditional ‘window’ that you see everyday, but there are other types of windows as well. When
you look through your window, what do you see? And what other types of
windows can you find?
ok….I’m still floored to believe there’s an encyclopedia for this fantasy world….but there is….there’s also a DUNE Chronology. mecury sent this over, the other day…..he’s currently reading about the early history of Frank Herbery’s universe:
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when my fear is gone I will turn and face fears path, and only I will remain. “ - Paul Atreides
hmmm….odd - I will always see the actor who played Paul - Kyle MacLachlan - not as the Messiah of Dune - but as Sex in the City’s Trey…..the man Charlotte married and who couldn’t get it up for his wife……
other surreal items….I just faxed in my housing application for Grad School….good grief! It feels more real than ever. In two months - I’m leaving everything and everyone I know, behind, and taking off for the big bad Windy City. It’s exciting to start over - without the baggage. But it’s also kinda scary to start over, without familar faces. My life is so comfortable right now - a relatively stable job to pay the bills, hankido to stay in shape, radio work to stay in touch with my love of journalism. But I also feel that it’s not enough. It’s not worth having any career - just to pay the bills. I am resenting how it’s holding me back from so many things.
