| I get this whole week off!!! | | |
| There's a song a friend of mine got me to like.
Band: Modest Mouse
CD: lonesome crowded west
Song: Cowboy Dan
Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
He's gonna start a war
He hops in his pickup puts the pedal to the floor
And says "I got mine but I want more"
Because, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
He goes to the desert, fires his rifle in the sky
And says, "God if I have to die you will have to die"
Because, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
I didn't move to the city, the city moved to me
And I want out desperately
Can't do it, not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over
Can't do it, not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over
No, no, not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over
Standing in the tall grass
Thinking nothing
You know we need oxygen to breathe, oxygen to breathe
Everytime you think you're walking you're just moving the ground
Everytime you think you're talking you're just moving your mouth
Everytime you think you're looking you're just looking down
Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
He hops in his pickup puts the pedal to the floor
And says "I got mine but I want more"
Cause, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
He goes to the desert, fires his rifle in the sky
And says, "God if I have to die you will have to die"
Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes the the reservation drinks and gets mean
I didn't move to the city, the city moved to me
And I want out desperately
Can't do it, not even if sober
Can't get that engine turned over

| Just a few questions before I turn in for bed, hoping my on-call phone doesn't ring. In your imagination how far have you traveled? Has it gone passed our solar system... Racing through the arms of our Galaxy... Has the field of focus expanded passed our neighboring Galaxies and Star Nebulae and Clusters... Shooting by gigantic red giant stars, quasars, white dwarfs, bi solar systems. By manically dense pulsars and massive galactic black holes keeping a host of 100 trillion star systems or more. Speeding up well pass the speed of light to break past the visible horizon of 14 billion light years reaching into newly formed space were the temperature is vastly approaching absolute zero... Touching the edges of existence where perhaps a bubble singularity is encompassing our membrane cosmos... Separating this cosmic bubble 11+ dimensional existence with a completely new and bizarre universe..the mirror's twin of our own... Spinning through the ether less than the radius of a proton away from our surface but impossible to reach... Racing through bubble by bubble until the measure of a universe is like nothing more than a babies step. Until the difference between the unthinkably huge and the unfathomable small is meaningless... Where space and time and mass and energy are just different hues on a canvass of a creator/creators/creating being/beings/force, or merely the random numbering of outcomes to a equation who's answer was once infinity but now is less than zero... Past chaos or order or alpha and even omega.... Traveling until our own curiosity defines the existence of epochs... Traveling until you realize you've not gone anywhere at all? Or maybe spiraled back round again. Good night | | |
| I was reminded of an interesting concept a few months ago. One I think allot of people tend to forget. I would say most people now-a-days take little or no time out for real "down-time". I myself tend to forget the simple task of meditation in my normal day-to-day life. When I said meditation I mean the act of simply sitting somewhere and emptying your mind of all thoughts. Not sleeping or praying or day-dreaming...but just the act of clearing your mind of all thoughts. We bombard ourselves with tv or the internet or music or conversation, yet it's important to take even a handful of minutes and not worry or think about a problem or maybe even a regret, but "just be". I would even say that there are some people who have NEVER done this let alone do it on a normal basis. I am going to make it a point to clear my mind at some point today.......wish me luck | | |
| The New Job....
I've started working days...This is my 3rd week in and I can tell already it's going to take some getting used to. I am however surrounded by old friends from my old team...(GO TEAM-D). The Acxiom world is a odd one indeed. Work as a whole is what you make of it. If you want it to be a dead-end job then make your peace with it. If however you want something more it's out there for the taking. If lets say your outlook is somewhere in the middle then good luck. I understand that in today's BUSHleagure America your chance of getting laid off is about 1 out of 4. If you increase anyone's survival timeline it will reach zero. My father found that out firsthand. I consider the first day of his prolonged painful death to be the day he and I found out that he was "de-selected". My decision to stay and work for the same company that "shit canned" my own father has been a hard one at times. I do however make it a point to bring him up. He was a great guy, much kinder of heart than I am. Working with some of his co-worker is going to be interesting. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
