I think my inner child needs a spanking.
What a strange week.
Thursday - kids with coke high smiles mixed tentatively with us inverts to see the rope tricks performed with such ease. But in the end they're attention spans can't focus on the precision. They're energy and experience not understanding the sublties of restraint pleasures Rather than making me sad like they usually do. I was amused by their energy and fun....

In this here silence
I feel the intimacy
of delicate tides
I used to like that. I don't anymore. Strange.
I could say so much, but I am exhausted. I went through a Vinyasa yoga DVD tonigt. If I was going to start being healthy, what possessed me to begin with Vinyasa? It is infinitely more dificult than it was just 2 years ago. At...

I should be in bed. I should be prepared for a meeting with someone that can greatly effect my income and my sense of financial security for at least the next 6 months.
But, I'm ready. I know where I've been and what I can get out of her.
Opportunity feels good.

Financial opportunity? I wished I had one of those this year. My bills are stacking up..... the life of the student, what else?!
Going back to our little game, which I must say that I am supremely enjoying: Nietzsche vs Plato.
On marriage was just an example and you can find the passage that I indicated in 'Thus spoke Zarathustra', third part, 'On old and new tablets' (24) and also in the first part 'On child and marriage'. As for Plato you can look up his idea of procreation in 'The laws', Book 8. The idea is that immortality exists because of the possibility of continuing ones existence in ones children. Therefore the act of procreation is an act of great love for oneself. One creates oneself but into the future and more enriching for the human race.
As for references that Nietzsche makes about Plato's theories they are often in opposition of course. He uses Platonic arguments in reverse so that he can deconstruct them and thus build his own foundations upon the ruins. Symbolisms, such as the cave, are extremely interesting and are often intertwined platonism and christian dogma. Thus the sun can stand for 'being conscience of truth', as well as, a stellar body without any powers but revered as a deity (to point out the naivite of human beings). Anyhow, for Nietzsche and symbolism I recommend any book by Laurence Lampert and for Plato I recommend a translation by Pangle. Enjoy.
Finally, let me solve the ambiguity of mixing Plato with Nietzsche and its product. It's about balance and harmony. It is asking dyonisus to dance for some moments hand in hand with apollo and then witnessing moments where dyonisus is the leader and others where apollo marks the tempo of the dance. This is me. I like being extreme (both dyonisian and apollonian) but balanced. Plus plato would never allow me to misinterpret Nietzsche like so many others do. To think that one can be 'Nietzschean' or that a nihilistic attitude is what makes you love this great philosopher is absolute absurdity. Nietzsche's philosophy is one where life gets affirmed, it is about yes! saying and having the courage to say: was this life? well then once more! Plato gives you this strenght, this self love and courage as well.
As for now,
Shiva

Cassavettes' Opening Night
The description of this film talks about the protecive beliefs and deceits we tell ourselves to make ourselves comfortable with our lives. It talks of shells of realities and the resulting "spiritual" growth that happens when those shells fall apart.
Actually, watching the movie, these themes are somewhat buried. You're not sure what counts as a shell and what doesn't. Which shell...

The film sounds wonderful. I'll have to put that one on my 'must see' list.
Usually I'm well-behaved when I go out. This just happened to not be one of those times.

It's 7pm I'm starving and it's raining in January in Chicago. Did the Tsunami change the weather around the world? I think may have. Must go play tonight... bi-bi!

Okay, so I won't go play tonight. A supposed cock-block, but he just doesn't understand I wasn't going to go there in the first place -- and she isn't going to go for him...

I make predictions for people sometimes. Really they are intuitions about things people are inclined to experience. Some of them seem too specific and too far off in time for it to just be a general intuition. They puzzle me a little.
So far, of the predictions I made for others this year, 3 are true, 1 is 1/2 true, 1 is pending and unknown...

Life is calling. As always, I answer. Someday, I think I may just not pick up or at least get my number changed.

My karma with Insurance companies and medical places is amazing. How many times do they delay and then strike for my pocket book? How many times have I chased them back into their own corner, spun them around to chase...

I'm getting sick. It's 4am and I'm sneezing too much to sleep. .
Well, I had about an hour of time to myself yesterday. It's either that or the on-coming sickness that is making me feel so completely out of sorts. I wrote exactly nothing whe I finally got home. I reead exactly nothing. I had 0 interesting thoughts worth writing down and I am...

yeah...the more i look at those weird little toys, the more i like them. i heart my crazy mom 
In the end, nothing made me feel better yesterday, but I did wake up clear, open and strong-willed this morning. And to make up for last night, I saw my favorite niece who didn't recognize me with my beard (she's 2 1/2), but I made her fall in love with me all over again. And I was surprised that my 5 month old nephew not...
