September 1st was a great day for me. After spending labor day with my Florida family, I booked a round trip ticket for California. I haven’t been to the golden state since leaving in 2004. I’m going because it’s been so long since I’ve seen my kids, my family and my friends. I have a few people to thank for this. Have to thank Danielle for finding great rates on a round trip ticket. Carrie for the early birthday present. Without you, it would have been just a pipe dream. Susanna for kicking me in the ass and letting me realize that there are no excuses. Not when it comes to one’s family.
So I’m off into the big blue mid October. Should be a wonderful weekend.
In other news, God wants to remind me that I’m still in the hurricane state by throwing not just one hurricane at me but two hurricanes at me, a (for now) tropical storm and a tropical depression. All this in the span of two weeks.
Many times I wish I were elsewhere.
As the song goes, I left my heart in San Francisco.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Nostalgia: (n) a longing for the way things were.
I’ve been listening to some old music lately. I’m not entirely sure why either. Perhaps the music out now just doesn’t compare, or maybe there is a deep underlining feeling of being in the past with some distorted perspective that it was better back in the day.
Actually I think it’s because I haven’t listened to this music in a while.

Someone asked me, “what does loneliness smell like?”
“It smells like rain on a cold wet day,” I replied.

So today is one of those ‘mystical’ days where the numbers are all the same…. At least in the western world that uses the standard Christian calendar. I personally start counting the years from the creation point 4,789,154,652 years ago. So today is really 3-12-53 and it’s Saturday.
Today also marks the begining of the olymipics in china. This will be something I’ll be missing as I don’t have tv and I’m virtually apathetic towards the whole olympic thing to begin with. Or perhaps it’s the whole national pride put into athletic competition that offends me. I think of myself as a global citizen and I dislike cutting up the world and putting up barriers based upon ancient tribal alliances that matter so very little in the year 4,789,154,653.
But then man is so slow to evolve.

If it really is the eighth month, why don’t we call it October?
