As always, OH it's been too long. Much is always happening. Miss you and you and you. How to write anymore. The days of personal blogging are over but have never been more needed. A real perspective in an overly edited "curated" world. Truth. Personal truth, not social capital, what you want to say. Ad agencies buying blogs, madd hits, what's the point? Not sure. why are we all here? What are we

Thus I see Mombaccus as a power spot in the lost or still-unrealized Topography of an authentic American santeria or voudoun, in which all religions are as one on the magical or esoteric level.

Is this week over yet? Not that the weekend was so amazing or anything, but I'm not really "feeling" what my weeks are about anymore. Bored and slightly angry all the time.

Going through so many emotions. Can't figure out what to do, want to make changes, but some things take time.Happy in some ways, so sad in others. Wish it was all much more cut and dry. Grey, mushy, foggy.Visions of what are fleeting but there, new challenges and old challenges are being presented.Keeping some kind of equilibrium and happiness momentum is crucial, but feel the pain too.

My ADD gets worse when I'm hungry it seems. I've self diagnosed myself with a swollen spleen / B12 deficiency. The B12 I took is working very well. I've gone back to energy medicine as well, thank god.Need to shed pounds though. I've gotten much, much stronger, but this excess weight is bullshit.Where are my new glasses?

Spent some time with Erwan Le Corre, whom many describe as the fittest man in the world, in a broad, naturalistic sense (along with John Durant the expert on Paleo nutrition & their friends) --we were filmed by French TV who picked up the links between their ideas and mine on the need for a certain class of randomness.

One of my favorite times of day is the early morning after I've woken up but am still sitting in bed. Caressed by sunshine, warm, comfortable - birds chip, dreams still come through in fleeting bursts - all potential, all is right.Thoughts to be processed - nostalgia vs real value, present and past, mythic fields, new stories, love and lasting stories.

When the Brooklyn Dodgers outgrew Ebbets Field, club owner Walter O’Malley proposed a domed stadium, the first of its kind, to be built at the now-controversial Atlantic Yards area. The probable designer? The geodesic dome master builder himself, Richard Buckminster Fuller. But another master builder by the name of Robert Moses preferred Queens over Brooklyn, and soon the disagreement between O’

Here’s some suggestions for making your own Zora List: 1. First, write down everything you’ve ever wanted to do/see/learn/accomplish. Doesn’t matter how crazy, outlandish, basic - who cares? If you want it, write it down. The longer it is, the better. Dream big 2. Break down your list into subcategories that will make tracking your progress easier later on. For example, places to go, things

My brain is feeling very mushy right now.I've decided to go on a 2 week - 1 month long health kick.Loose weight, get in shape, eat better, no drinking, better sleep, focus, balance and action.The edges of my life are just getting too sloppy, and the bleed though is slowing me down in all the important areas.Also: going to begin posting here more.

Ahhh, Sunday is both the lord's day and hangover day as far as I'm concerned. Good god. Hangovers if done right are like a kind of meditation. Fuck your zazen. If not completely dehabilitated, it can feel so mellow and nice. Bringing your mind down a notch and thoughts float by. Big shout out to the whole Royal Oak family.

Maybe I'm just selfish.It's just that I want complete freedom at all times. As little responsibility as possible. I want to be able to always do what I want when I want it, beholden to no one. Is that crazy. Maybe.Destined to be alone.at first glance that doesn't sound bad. Afraid I will end up lonely and sad.

I mostly live in a world of my own. From the time I was little, the world of my imagination was beyond vivid. So real, there were story lines and characters, and infinite worlds I inhabited on a daily basis.For a long time it felt like who I was, was wrong. Wrong family, wrong time, wrong place. Not in a bad way, it just seemed like there was somewhere else i needed to be. The feeling subsided,

I believe ‘writer’s block’ is the normal state of writing; that is, you rarely have anything just flow easily from your brain to the keyboard. And if it does, it’s usually pretty bad. Good writing is almost always hard, and what I think sometimes happens is that writers forget how hard it is, or don’t want to do the work anymore, and they call this “writer’s block.” –Dave Barry, The Writer

Seth Godin is even more on fire lately. He's turning into a poet, synthesizing complexity into these perfectly crafted posts.I take so much for granted. Perhaps you do as well. To be here, in this moment, with these resources. To have not just our health but the knowledge and the tools and the infrastructure. What a waste.If I hadn’t had those breaks, if there weren’t all those people who had

HYPERACTIVE NOMADS!!!!Everyone loves to complain about the accelerated pace of modern life. Remember the good old days, they say, when life was leisurely, commerce was more genteel, and everyone watched the same television and read the same newspaper?Lest we get too nostalgic, keep in mind the upside of a sped-up world:President Bush put steel tariffs in place in March 2002. Less than two years

(This is why Diddy is my new hero)"So if the music industry's getting cannibalized by the Internet, I figure out how to work with it, I figure out how to survive. You throw me in the jungle butt-naked, I come out with a lion's head, some bearskins, and a bunch of food. I may be driving a Maybach." —Diddy on his ability to survive the tough times [AP via Yahoo]
