Time to be kids again!
What superpower would you like to have?
I'd want the power to time-travel. Past tense, I'd go to Woodstock, march with civil rights protesters in the 60's, see Prince and the Revolution in 1985, check out an old west saloon, go see the Berlin Wall come down, go see Greece 2500 years ago, view Star Wars in a theatre in...

Okay one more little piece of bitterness about Bush and I'll get back to other things soon.
I found this in cyberspace:
Dear President Bush,
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law.
I have learned a great deal from you and try to share that knowledge
with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the
homosexual...

i think maybe you need to be distracted from government, politics, religion, and Bush for a while 
northstar:
hahaha... thast awesome.
What is this, the fucking crusades? God is popping up everywhere lately, and it's being forced on us all. God had a large hand in our recent election, God is playing a big role in the bloodshed right now in the "holy land" that we have stuck our noses into. God truly is all around us.
God is invading our lives, it seems more than...

i agree that god, whatever you perceive him to be, should have nothing to do with politics, foreign policy, etc. god and an individual's perception of god should remain a personal issue, and not a public one. i'm not even going to start on the gay marriage issue. it is bad enough most states don't have domestic partner benefits, let alone gay marriage rights...
anyway, as far as god goes for me, my religious belief happen to be "non-mainstream" and, in large part, can be supported by science. every thing in the universe has its own unique energy.......

Hey, hope everyone is having a frightingly good Halloween. Any holiday involving candy is fine by me. I dressed up as a mormon. It's fun and easy to do. All you need is a short sleeve white button down shirt, black shoes, black slacks, a thin black tie, and the book of Mormon. It also helps if you have a few passages memorized, especially ones...

yes, i love halloween! but, honestly, i love it as much for the spiritual side as for the campier elements. in fact, as i child i eshewed trick or treating because i found it mercenary and vulgar (i was 7, had only been stateside for 2 halloweens, only out for one, and simply would not have it). however, i dressed and made some rituals. my approach to halloween is an un/holy union of catholicism, wicca, and sort of taoist sensibilities ~ at least the animism idea ~ with just a touch of yogic wisdom. anyway ...
as for the music, ummmm, YES. when i moved to dc, i was deeply dissapointed to find the punk scene had utterly dissolved. then i considered that it was during the clinton administration, and things were good, so there was no strife for artists to react against. however, right now, i think musicians and other artists are reacting, but what we recieved is more mediated messages about them talking about their art rather than their art. however, i believe its out there somewhere.
bush must be stopped.

I give you a quote from someone I have been interested in lately, Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesman and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do."
I'm going to make a more concerned effort to try new things each day, even if it's 1 new thing each day....

omg, office space. hilarious!! hope it wasn't too horrid.
as for excercise, each week i lift weights (split training) 3-4 days, at least 2 yoga classes, pilates videos (whole body and specific part), and several dance classes. i used to swim competitively as well, so when i have access to a pool, i do a few miles a week. and some of it is just natural luck. woo.

hey who are ya? you've never posted on my journal, but you are on my friends request list... what made you request?
Ah, my first cold of the season. Thankfully this appears to be a garden variety cold, and not something more significant like bronchitis, or flu. Been playing more sports lately and I am beginning to get restless. I want to be able to play more and more and more. My body is holding up pretty good too, as most of my summer jogging season was...

edwin:
Hope you are feeling well.
I play basketball mostly. I have also played tennis, golf, baseball, bowling, volleyball, football, and hockey on occasion, although I don't really consider golf or bowling a sport. I also jog a bit and try to weight train every so often.
If your many legs are as strong as you say, there must be some method to get them that way. What do you do sporting or athletically?

A lot of people tell me that I am a good listener, or that I am easy to talk to. That may explain why I kinda have more women friends than male friends. I enjoy what I perceive to be the feelings of relief someone gets when they've opened up and let something out that they should not have retained in the first place. Men...

that would be a very telling/interesting project, me thinks ~ you should create it!
and sorry about yr group thing, but it seems clara has provided a handy alternative? ahhhh, well.
anger is such a vital emotion ~ i've a penchant for rage, but i agree, one must vent/control/take responsibility.

Played full court basketball this evening til I couldn't move. Good thing my computer is right next to my bed!
ladymaze:
I think I've finally decided on a costume. It's a secret, though...shhh...I'll tell ya after the big day.
arachnequarius:
woohoo - bball. the acc watching groups have started forming ... and so, another season begins.
Just finished a rare Saturday appearance at work. After working a 6 day work week, all hell will in fact break loose tonight as I'm going to the Bloodfeast with ear plugs and a lot of money.
ladymaze:
I'll buy just about any Sinatra CD, just because I
Frank Sinatra!
arachnequarius:
delightful! hope you had much fun ~ anything called bloodfeast has to be good.
I played basketball tonight. It's amazing the overall effects physical activity can provide. It reduced my stress levels greatly, and also significantly improved my mood and self esteem which have been less than stellar lately. Does physical activity have similar effects on anyone else out there?
ladymaze:
There are many roads...not all of them are outside your apartment.
ladymaze:
Okay dokay. Sleep well!
been trying to find time lately, all I've found so far is work.
arachnequarius:
you will find other things!! and you take care too.
ladymaze:
So evil exists just to make things interesting?
i like that time travel idea though too. its a pretty good one.
