This Blog

My blog could be considered a dangerous thing. I don't think it is. Everything I write is completely honest. Some posts are commentary, some posts are stories, some are boring, some are fun. Most often it's a window into the part of my subconscious that cannot be communicated verbally. It's meant to be the place I spill, organize and store my abstract hidden things. You can really access a lot about me through the blog, and it's partially there for that purpose. To find out the things I cannot say, and don't necessarily need to be said. But its also a tool for me, the process of writing/blogging is therapy in some sense. However, there's a lot missing. To read it, and to think that it is all of me, would be very wrong. That's why it can be misleading. A lot of people read it, and they misinterpret. No one really knows what I actually mean by a lot of the things I say, and that's not my problem. Like I said, its only there partially for the purpose of letting people into that part of me, the rest is there for me, for my subconscious to come out. To take it literally would be a dangerous thing for the reader.

Important Pieces

In that space where infinity above meets immensity below we see the first sign of a new dawn. Dark always gives way to light; for a brief moment nothing is forbidden, everything is possible. But what would we do if the light never came? Maybe we would lie down. Maybe we could go back to sleep. Maybe we could wake up. - Adbusters

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere; they’re in each other all along. - Jelaluddin Rumi (1207-1273)

Adopt the pace of nature: Her secret is patience. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The poet Rilke was afraid that if he got rid of his demons, he would lose his angels as well. Of course the danger of clinging to our demons to save our angels is that our demons may well take over." - Tim Farrington

Amnesia is not knowing who one is and wanting desperately to find out. Euphoria is not knowing who one is and not caring. Ecstasy is knowing exactly who one is-and still not caring.
- Tom Robbins

If it could stay this temperature through out May, it would truly be wonderful!

I thought I heard a Cicada the other day...but it is not our year. I think they'll all be coming out in Virginia.

I start a cleanse tomorrow. I'm only doing it for 3 days instead of the full and traditional 7 days. I'm not thrilled about it but I definitely want to see how my body responds.

I've discovered that a small drop of lavender essential oil on a mosquito bite is instantly calming. It doesn't necessarily zap the venom but soothes the skin and relieves the burning sensation. I'm planning on making my own lotion with my stand mixer. I just need a proper storage container or the essential oils I may cause some disintegration. I'll basically whip some coconut oil and vitamin E oil for a few minutes till it's light and fluffy. It should be easier to spread on skin. I've decided to do a combo of lavender and peppermint essential oil with maybe some eucalyptus. If it turns out I may venture in to the beeswax department and make lip balms and stuff.

My landlord came over last night and he was telling us tales about his backyard beehives. I may be getting some real organic raw honey pretty soon here. I may even get a chance to go over there and suit up. Bees are one of the most fascinating insects. If anyone knows any books about beekeeping that are for the non-scientific reader let me know! I will be sure to take loads of pictures if we get to go over there.
