hello there! how are you?

i think the newer ipods have better battery life. mine is a 3rd generation & i think they are already up to a 6th generation. if you do buy one, definately buy an extended warraty!

amazing story and ain't it the truth sometimes the tuth lies in the simplest place. i mean seriously for all the millios and expert you can pull in there is usually a simple answer to be found if we're only willing to listen. fortunately i have learned that lesson on less expensive adventures but you got to admit the adventure was worth the experince and taught you things and gave you experiences you would have never had. thanks for sharing that.it is very hummbling to read.

also i could just picture you with a wooden leg eye patch and a corncob pipe as you layed out the story to a bunch of wet behind the ear fisherman. you truly are amazing. the more i learn the more i realize what an interstesting friend i have found in you.

The blue one in the background has the name of Turmoil. She's SO pretty. (I"d love to work on her)

and yes, i wear glasses... I don't see well without them.



and lay your past to rest. You can't change it ya know. (that was spoken with the ignorance of one who has no idea... but we all battle with who we were an what we did, regardless of the situation. Even me.)

What is it in the air that's causing people to do the serious double takes on their lives right now? I've been wandering around for the last week or so under that same little cloud. In some ways, I've never been happier and in other ways I've never been more miserable. Why can't the universe just get it right?!?!?

I envy your ability to re-invent yourself.

And I'm glad to see you're all in one piece!

hey if you eve need to just talk out some shit i'll give you my number off line. i've had plenty of days like that. shit just likes to hit you when you arent't looking i swear. let me now and i'llpm it to you. might do me some good as well. it's ggod to share with others. i've been doing a lot of metta practice lately naming people both those i like and don't like and reading a llot of pema chdrn when things fall aprt and listening to true happiness on cd. i have also been rereading instructions to the cook living a life that mattters by bernie glassman and rick fields (rip)
that book came out in 1996 and i stilll have my hardback copy of it. i will never let it go.

best to you brother!

Hey! Do NOT use words like "suicidal" in your journal and then disappear for days! You scare me! You okay?

sorry....but happy (belated) valentines day!

i would love to do some cycling with you. i think i am going to have to switch to a long board this summer my board i have been riding was a 6' 11" with a thruster tail setup i loved it but it wants to sink on me too fast before i can pop up and i am going to have to relearn that since it's been awhile, but hell it i take care of that we can it it all!

Hey - thanks for the nice notes about my vacation - you actually lived in South Beach? What a freaked out place. The Carribean rocked and I wish I could've stayed.

Don't let this woman get you down.

I know what you mean about worrying about what you are looking like. Looking at the other pictures you have, why not get rid of the goatee? Your smooth skin might make you a bit more approachable? Just an idea.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentines Day

Wow that is all i have to say is wow. That is incredible that you have the ability to do all of that. It always amazes me people who can tell the species, age quality, grain, carve by hand and simply do what you just described. I am always floored and somewhat envious, but we all have our gifts and abiities that we are strongest at. I am quite happy that for the most part I can tell you what species of tree i am looking at from its leaf and bark, but to take that to a block or sheet of wood and that to me is where the majic begins. I can tell the hardwoods from say pine and such, but after that I am incredibly hopeless.

Thanks for sharing such an amazing story and piece of history that I was not aware of!

Hey stranger.

I just wanted to drop by to say hi.

wait a minute......

Did you say TWELVE times a day?

Dude, I hope you ate your wheaties for breakfast!

Ah! Twelve times a day.
You're my dream man...

thanx for the love, esp about my smile i've been outta town/outta the loop for a few days. same mess planned for next work week too!! ugh!! hope ur well. i feel like

Ha! Maybe they should put me in the brochure.

Been away for a bit, v busy, but checking in as usual. Hope life's got better since that day ^

Woo! Good journal. Yes, the UK is great, if cold, give me a shout if you come to London, I should be at Secrets for the next few months. I aim to enjoy it as much as poss, even though it takes me back a few years.

Sounds like Bubba's got dunlop's disease (as in his belly done lop over his pants!) Okay, bad joke, but it's all I could muster with so few brain cells firing right now.

Thanks for your note in my journal! It really was a beautiful day today....well, between raindrops, that is.

interesting..
I"m getting sleepy too...
sleeptime is a good thing.

(brain is ovbiously still disengaged... more interesting conversation later)

i ditched that "lover".....thanx for all of the compliments, i guess i gave u some wood to work with!! no raunchy PUN intended

well thankyou. The thing about having "adversary" written in arabic is that only certain people will be able to read it and understand it. They will then know who I am to them. Adversary means the devil, or satan. pronounced shaytaan in arabic. So if you can read it, it's meant for you, and if you can read it and are offended by it, then there is an s&w .45 1911 that wants to meet your jihadist ass. Do you see where I am going with this?

Ha! no i was at work listening to it.
