Treat Me Like Your Mother
Don’t act like you can’t act
Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
Treat me like your mother
Come on look me in the eye
You wanna try to tell a lie
I’ll bet you can’t and you know why?
I’m just like your mother

Are You Awake?
“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”

In Transition
This year I plan to roadtrip as much as possible via CraigsList Ride Shares. All the pleasure of a roadtrip with none of the footprint guilt – that vehicle was going anyway, with my butt in it or not. Plus Id get to meet new people along the way and get hooked up with randomly awesome, unforseen scenarios that make a trip unforgettable. So when I found this guys site I was enthralled! He’s taking it the max. Well, max in that its a non-stop roadtrip. This is so easily doable, and so I am rubbing where my beardy beard would be and thinking about it…

One mans mission to live in 3 cities for 3 months, using only craigslist.

“I am very much in a transitional stage. But then, my whole life is in limbo. Aside from living out of a suitcase and sleeping in three towns in four days, I have racked up 730-miles, stopping for bathrooms, of sort, food, coffee and sleep. Life is very much on the road.”

Catching My Tailspin
What’s up with that? Where do I get this INSANE sense of URGENCY from? I feel like I only have 2 years left or something. Oh these plans for the next two years keep going around and around in circles in my head, I freak out about when I’m going to get it all done, how I haven’t been back to Cape Town in 10 years, how I’m going to save up enough to do the Appalachian Trail next year, get access to a chiropractor to fix my back… Late last night I was online chatting to my best friend Joseph, going on and on about this and that, trying to figure out where I’m going to settle for a few months to grow my garden, how I’m going to schedule and plan my garden’s seasons around all my travel plans just for this year, knowing the garden needs to be more of a priority as it will pay for all this travel. And its my first garden so I need to focus on it but if it goes too long it could tie me down… blah blah… fret, worry blah. Brain fart.
He just listened for ages. Nothing seems to rush him into a fluster, not even when I’m freaking out. more…

Demi Moore Before and After Photoshop
Ugh! She looks so much hotter without being covered in a layer of luminous plastic. This is the kind of crap so many guys and women buy into, a look no-one can achieve. Finding volumes of this sort of stuff online used to make me laugh at the unbelievable gall but these days I’m really just tired of it. We are all so lied to and all buy into it without even realising how insidiously it has crept in and reprogrammed even the best of us. The media is relentless and keeps us in a state of perpetual unhappiness with our bodies and everything we have. Its so twisted.

RIP little Large
I wish I could have been there to say goodbye to you :(
At least Small and Meeds got to. I miss your fat little baby seal bod. I miss how you always fell asleep in the food bowl, smiling, with unchewed food still in your mouth. I miss your sweet, cheerful, always hopeful nature. I miss your scaredy cat crab-walk and big baldy eyes. I miss holding you upside down. I will never forget you, my baby. more…

South African Police Pursuit
Ohhhkay… so this is why I NEVER left the house or even moved a muscle when armed response were patrolling my property. Half of me wanted the intruder caught so he’d never come back, the other half was really scared for him and hoped he’d get away…
Thanks Ken!

Do what you love. Do what you love. Do what you LOVE!
2010 began like every year of my life will from here onwards – living in complete harmony with my values of life. Not doing anything to undermine them or living by someone else’s values again. When that happens it can only end in sadness or take you down a long road of complete life-wasting. This is why it is so important to me to remain single and free, and have friends until I am sure I have found the person who shares my same values in life, so that we can grow boundlessly together. I know that with the right person I would be taken further than I would imagine on my own, be challenged and motivated every day. But I am far FAR happier on my own than with the wrong person. I’m happy all the time!
I made a very difficult decision a few days ago, to let go of a four year dream of mine to thru-hike the 2,175 mile Appalachian Trail starting in March, to postpone it until 2011. more…

Falling in love…
“… you remain a child; rising in love you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love – now you are love.”

Sleep Talkin’ Man
Oh this is SOLID GOLD! Like FAIL blog and Post Secret, this is a site I’ll be visiting all the time:

“My mild-mannered English husband Adam lives quite a colourful existence in his dreams. Having benefited from hours of delight at his dead-of-night musings, I thought it only fair to share them with the world.”
Here’s a favourite:
“Can you hold… can you hold my starfish? It doesn’t like it when I’m getting excited. Oh look, it likes you! Its legs are all cree-py cree-py.”

Male Chromosome Is Still Evolving
Listen on NPR
“Scientists have confirmed that men are still evolving — or at least the male chromosome is. Y chromosome is what makes men men. A few years ago, scientists began wondering whether it was in trouble. When they compared it to the X chromosome, which is carried by both men and women, the Y chromosome didn’t seem to measure up.”

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs…
“…ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
