old names
found out hope has died.
not going to go into this to deeply as i have mixed emotions concerning the person hope was and the way he lived his life.
he left here to head out to las vegas 5 years ago. regardless.
it's a small world.
one of the boys ran into an old "hanging out" friend of hopes' from vegas, in town.
telling me about it led to a discussion of "the family" which led to a discussion about the mayan/toltec calendar and then on to the galactic center.
which than led me to looking at nasa's site - found this gem.

2012 - we shall see if all this "family", toltec/mayan stuff is for real or not.

gut reactions
"Many years ago, it was the fashion to ridicule the idea of " love at first sight " ; but those who think, not less than those who feel deeply, have always advocated its existence. Modern discoveries, indeed, in what may be termed ethical magnetism or magneto-aesthetics, render it probable that the most natural, and, consequently, the truest and most intense of the human affections are those which arise in the heart as if by electric sympathy - in a word, that the brightest and most enduring of the psychal fetters are those which are riveted by a glance."

vanity
hair cut today at the tangerine. jim said he would help me grow it to the length i want. will see how long it takes to get there.
want the knees length and since it's at the middle of my back now, this could take a few more years.
going to be fun!
last time i had this type of haircut service was in japan.
my head is relaxed. my hair is herbalyish smelling and he made my baby fine hair look soooo yummy.

music
new musicians showing up at the house lately.
nice to hear something other than the usual heavy metal.
let's see. jazz, bluegrass, dig the mandolin j.
oldies from the 70's and 80's with their dad.
love sick blues with jeff.
raunchy country with randy.
and it's really nice. really nice.
they are getting ready to play at the muse, so the heavy metal is back - full force.
told jon to play bare-chested and get a fake nipple ring. something about drummers beating the crap out of their drums makes the girls drool. so i was told.
yeah! think that's what's sexy nowadays?

reading to much again lately
this got me.
desire is difficult to push aside - at least for me
this got me.
"What you have made me see," answered the Lady, "is as plain as the sky, but i never saw it before. Yet it has happened every day. One goes into the forest to pick food and already the thought of one fruit rather than another has grown up in one's mind. Then, it may be, one finds a different fruit and not the fruit one thought of. One joy was expected and another is given. But this I had never noticed before - that the very moment of the finding there is in the mind a kind of thrusting back, or setting aside. The picture of the fruit you have not found is still, for a moment, before you. And if you wished - if it were possible to wish - you could keep it there. You could send your soul after the good you had expected, instead of turning it to the good you had got. You could refuse the real good; you could make the real fruit taste insipid by thinking of the other."
