So, I got an offer to build a website for an organization as a side job. The thing is, it pays $50/hr. Which is like, a lot of money. In just five hours I’d have a round trip ticket to California. That’s pretty hot.
But, I’m not sure that it is what I want. [...]

Is it possible to attract only positive experiences in your life?
The answer isn’t a simple yes or no. The bigger–and better–question is, are there really any negative experiences in life? Even the most negative experiences are lessons. We always learn something from the “bad.” So, really, there is no such thing as [...]

i love you

So, for a few minutes, I was a little homesick. I saw the most beautiful picture of the rising sun in Narragansett Bay this morning on the Surf Shop’s webcam. For a few minutes, I really wanted to be there. I was flooded with all kinds of memories–all good, from my amazing summer and all [...]

This weekend was great.
It started out a little rocky with a work party that I hosted Friday night–it was fun, but not really my thing. Once I got back into the groove of things, it was great.
I can’t really remember what I did yesterday, but I bet it wasn’t much. Just lots [...]

crazy beautiful

I’ve noticed that a lot of people think it’s funny when I talk about how beautiful the world is–or, they do not understand how I can be so happy living a very simple life. I mean, I don’t go out late, I don’t drink, I don’t do drugs… I’m a very simple person. I like [...]

Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. – Buddha

five rules

September 18, 2006 | 3 Comments

I was scrounging through a little nick-nack store yesterday and I saw a little pewter square engraved with a list of things that create happiness. It was a great little list–and very beautiful in its simplicity. Today, my mom emailed me. She said she found a great little list of things that bring happiness. Needless [...]

run from the americans

September 16, 2006 | 2 Comments

I’m scared of americans.
Most Americans walk around with tight little faces, sharp eyes, and angry gestures. They look like they want something. I don’t know what they want, and it frightens me. (Though not really, of course, because I don’t live in fear).
I feel like they want something that they will [...]

If there were no illusion, there would be no enlightenment.
It is through you that truth is known. You are here to enable the purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!

So I was watching clips from Bush’s address to the nation marking the fifth anniversary of September 11th. He did a great job drumming up fear and making people uneasy. He spoke a lot about the war on terror, and how winning in Iraq is essential to that war.
I think Bush has it [...]
