Websites should be like cheese - the older it gets, the more pungent it is to attract the crawlies to spider all over the place.
But no, not really. This page has been up since FOREVER and no spider crawls happening so far. I don't know. Maybe because I've never spent the time to build any content on this sucker. Mmmm. I guess that could be a problem.
And the fact that I don't have a theme for this damn thing. Oh this is so meta. Could that be pretentious art talk? Perhaps. Your suspicions just indicate the signs of a good gut instinct. So humph. There goes another day of waiting. The cobwebs are in place, but no spiders.

Keep crankin'
Looks like I'm stuck writing perpetually. Non-stop. Maybe I should start a recipe blog. At least that might be useful to somebody and less time consuming than writing full little paragraphs. Although I must say just free writing is pretty fun. I don't have to think too hard about anything. Just write what comes to mind.
I should make a bodhicitta blog. I've been thinking about it for a while. That would be fun to upkeep. But sort of challenging to NOT make it cheesy. There are ways to make it inspiring without the cliche sugary soft barf factor.
"May I be an isle for those who yearn for land..." Wonderful thoughts if you say it and mean it full genuine intention. I have not read through Bodhicaryatara yet. Just the beginning. But truly understanding those beginning chapters can easily take a life time in and of itself.

WOOT for India!
India trip happening really soon. OMG!
This will be the first time going to India. Planning for a trip is always so exciting. The anticipation. The minor paranoid driven anxiety about typhoid and hep A. Yay pills and doctors!
One of the travel nurse really scared me about the possibilities of getting the rabbie vaccine. If I get bitten by a rabid dog in India, I would not only have to go through a series of 5 shots, I would need a blood transfusion...Holy fuck. Blood transfusion? In a third world country? Hell no.
But I guess that beats dying right away from rabies.
So I asked how much were the preventive vaccines.
Well, it turns out I only need to take 3 shots in a row before India. Each around $220. CRAZY. It's like they want you to not have a good time in India.
I asked fellow India travelers, and NONE of them has ever worried about rabies - and they go to India *a lot*.
Leave it to the crazy white Americans to be overly cautious.

Boy oh boy
My energy is just zapped today.
I wanted to work more but for whatever reason, I just don't feel like it. I guess this is what blogs are for. A space for anyone to just rattle their brain excess out. It definitely feels a little better to just loosen those fingers up on the typing board by writing whatever comes to your mind. That's when you can make that next step to work on what you're suppose to do.
I remember the good old days of ze frank, that awsome video blog guy that came up with a brilliant series of videos - made me laugh so hard. I wonder if it's still on.
Let me go check.
Holy ****! It's still on! Well, his new stuff is "That Makes Me Think Of" shot in HD camera instead of his old shabby one....not as funny :(.

Ok time really does fly
Time flies quite fast. Sometimes slow. But when something really boring and long - winded ends, you recollect it only to realize it actually went by pretty fast. You get what I'm saying? Of course not. You're just a computer. Crazy me.
Ho hum, it is a long but fast day. The meeting about how to deal with people who do my job was surprisingly helpful, but I'm mostly there for the pay to be honest. Yep. That is my motivation. It's pure selfishness on survival mode. I guess that makes it more legit than selfishness on greed mode; that is just plain unnecessary.
I hate spelling unnecessary. Such a long winded word. So little time. Such elongations. If that is a word. But I guess Blogger says so as it did not underline that in red to signify "bad spelling". Whatever it says must be the truth.

Well I'm not too sure about deconstructing desconstructists
Derrida should have been a Tibetan Buddhist. He probably would not have written as many philosophical stuff as he has thought.
Most of Western Philosophy cruxes on the notion of the static, inherently existing "self", or the "I". Derridian thoughts, as much as it does a brilliant job playing around with the eternal fluctuation of that static "I" or "presence", that line of thinking also falls heavily on the preconcieved notion of "I".
What's wrong with being too philosophically hung up about "I"? Take a look at how much crap there is about "self-confidence" vs. "low self-esteem", about "identity", and "individuality"....Teenagers up to Tweens and early thirties spend SO much time trying to establish their fragile ego's when it really is a waste of time.
Who cares "who you are"? You're never the same one moment to the next. So don't be so self-conscious and just live with a mindset of doing what makes other people happy.

Derridian Time Machine - what would that mean?
So I was musing about derridian time machines and other random things. If only I had a time machine. I can hop through time and space like a sci-fi beast.
Ok, so what is this really about? Is my intention to write about derridian machines? That would be kinda cool but I don't have the time or the imagination to come up with such things.
SO.
This is probably going to be about cool things on the internet. The internets totally a space machine - there is no first or last. No spatial sequences. Absolutely awsome and full packed of shtuff.
