This is my favorite time of year.  College football, marching bands, cool weather, Halloween, and stuff like French beaujolais wine.  Life is floating on by.  The years seem to pass in between the endlaess anticipations of Autumn.  The afterlife must be like an endless concert in the Fall.  See you all there.

Been fairly busy lately.  Changed employers and had a birthday and I guess I have been busy!  But I am still a non smoker and I still found time to meditate and walk and day dream.  I like being me.  As the years roll by I like being me more and more.  Mainly because I am living a healthier and smarter life now.  Thanks to ideas we share here I think that force will continue to grow in my life and sharing it with you just makes it better.

I am appalled by this unthinkable crime.  I know no one there at that school or even in Virginia.  I dont keep up with much sports do I am not familiar with any of the players on any of their teams.  I am totally disconnected from the community there, yet I am still appalled by the crime.  It scares me to think that one person can sink to such a low point and become so out of touch that he engages in mass murder.  No motive can justify this act.  It is the definition of senselessness and evil, and yes even insanity by my book.

I dont know what the FBI will say or the judges and police reports.  I listened to the speeches this afternoon and they were very nice.  I just can't help but think how sad so many people connected with this tragic and unjustifiable act must be.

It will pass, everyone agrees.  Or perhaps many of them will just get used to the empty pain and it won't seem so bad after a while.  We all have been there in one way or another.  Buddhism teaches that this life is just a phase we are passing through and that there will be a next life and one after that until we eventually reach enlightenment.  I like that notion.

They have painted several bldgs around our downtown area

Yes it even has outdoor hi speed Internet if anyone is interested

These are pink flowers.  Sorry I didn't know what kind of bushes these are. 

Bryony says they are Rhododendron.  Thanks for that info.  The name rings a bell but I am not good with Botany info.  What do botanists use?  The diachotmous guide to identifying flowers?  Sounds good to me!

Im thinking im getting old
My mind is slowing down
My body is slowing down
And I kinda like it

The women they arent as attracted to me as they once were
Because my body is slowing down?
Because I no longer sing and shout?>
Becuase I say:
"Who was that singer on the tv just then, what radioi station is that?
Do I sound like Mick Jagger
Where is my union jack

Cause Im afraid sometimes that people are following me home
from the grocery store
And I shop instead of going out
That bottle of wine, its plenty to drink for me
As I watch PBS and don't laugh
If I answer the front door in my slippers not my tennis shoes
Dont laugh if they are plastic not leather.....

Ive been socking away money becasue Social Security will certainly fail

I work and thats about if.  Gather around my desktop

and watch these DVDs on a my new flat LCD 17"

Its the best game in town

We will laugh now, you and I,

Because its the best game in town 

Cocteau Twins
Heaven or Las Vegas  circa 1988
(here translated from Esperanto?)

Wholl ever win?
Gee, youre just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed

Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or las vegas
Its so much more brighter than the sun is to me

Hes a hustler
Its a role, hell never make a suit
Hang on to this
So stay and spin and fail and fail
Wholl ever win?
Gee, youre just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed

Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or las vegas
Its so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
Thats like any old playing card
It must be why Im thinking of las vegas
Its why its more brighter than the sun is to me

Furthermore, lets blast it off
Im dizzy so I go, another bit it off
Come fantasy, for a carnival
Im empty before our(a? ) wedding

Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or las vegas
Its so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
Thats like any old playing card
It must be why Im thinking of las vegas
Its why its more brighter than the sun is to me

Maybe there, while you was rail
Ill go in and seize your heart and be personal
I suspect Im singing to you a tune
And still you find the beat and sing it to you soon

Sugarcubes Life's Too Good (1988) Birthday Bjork She lives in this house over there Has her world outside it Scrapples in the earth with her fingers and her mouth She's five years old Thread worms on a string Keeps spiders in her pocket Collects fly wings in a jar Scrubs horse flies And pinches them on a line Ohhh... She has one friend, he lives next door They're listenening to the weather He knows how many freckles she's got She scratches his beard She's painting huge books And glues them together They saw a big raven It glided down the sky She touched it Ohh... Today is a birthday They're smoking cigars He's got a chain of flowers And sows a bird in her knickers Ohhh... They're smoking cigars They lie in the bathtub A chain of ... flowers
