What's on your mind now?

[go12_3]

Yeah, I like general landscaping, and my mom and brother are actually quite good at it, having done professional work even, and then my folks have moved a lot and needed to plant yards from scratch almost every time.  So, I have seen what my mom and brother do, which seriously looks like parks, and I just think ... heh  ... about my yards.  What I would love to grow is a vegetable garden, I just *love* to do that, and then I would like to plant berry bushes, fruit trees, pumpkins and stuff around the yard as part of the landscaping.  I suppose half an hour a day of weeding sounds doable, so long as I can find my gloves !

Yeah, I have my gloves  in a metal bucket with all my other gardening hand tools.  Got it out the other day and then I get in the mood.  Yes, a vegatable garden is nice too.  I plan to do the boxed kind which is smaller and higher than ground level.  I plan to grow patio tomatoes and I do have a strawberry patch that is multiplying each year.  Pumpkins and squashes are easy to grow.  I hope you can grow your garden and enjoy!

This is a great day!

Hope your operation goes well, Thal, and have a speedy recovery.

It's not him, it's his banjo, poor thing.

I wonder where musicians fit in here?

The place of the musician would be out of the screen on the right side

Well, I am thinkin' my hands are getting bigger or something ...  :-.  Okay, they just *feel* like they are bigger, but they are getting more flexible ... and can suddenly stretch further.  I can do an 11th with a little help.  I would never play that, but anyway.  Well, in all honesty, I could actually probably do that before.  But, they are seriously feeling different.

Also, I am thinking about my garden, which I have actually started now.  I raked some old brown leaves leftover from the Fall, hubby fixed the sprinklers, I yanked out a dead tree type thingy, trimmed a rose bush, and made some mild progress on weeding one of the beds.  I am thinkin' a garden is actually going to happen this year.  It really just might happen.

I bought myself some new gardening gloves, which are leather.  And, the smell reminds me of my old softball mit and Spring/Summer leagues.  I don't miss that life, but I like the smell and I like the fact that I got to play softball and the other sports that I did.  I like my piano though .

Also, I am wondering if pincher bugs are at all related to scorpions ?  It seems like they should be.

My mind is on "doctor, doctor, help me to relax please!"  my life is so stressful right now, that I can't seem to focus on anything......

You seem to be able to focus on writing your posts quite successfully!

I think I am GOing to GO outside for a breath of fresh air and clear up my mind and perhaps again I may focus once again......*sigh*

I am wondering why humanity values so much a world and life revolving around a substance that could theoretically disappear in the twinkling of an eye.  A kind of combustion that is currently unrealized to mankind, but the whole earth and all that it contains gone in an instant.  I am thinking about how the Universe is evolved and maintained by that which we believe is nearly a complete mystery to us, and yet we muck around each day in our own little worlds, thinking we are happy to be the center of it.

I feel like I am somewhere in some other land, in some other galaxy ... peering somehow at earth.

It's not that I don't think our daily lives and that which we build it around has value, I just wonder what the value truly is ?  What does all that we see around us actually represent ?  What is behind the veil ?

[pianowolfi]

Do we really want to know?

[nanabush]

Why won't iTunes work?  Why do people think switching into music is a bad idea?  I can retire two years later to makeup for lost time anyway...    Need to wake up at 8AM tomorrow, something I haven't done in the past two weeks.  I need to learn to manage my time; I'm going to kickboxing tomorrow night even though I have an exam Tuesday morning... why am I not stressed that I have 4 exams this week?  Why was I stressed after getting accepted into music? 

I like to create what-if scenarios, and they pretty much seem almost too real that I freak out.  I imagined not getting into music, after having spent hours practicing for my audition, and failing three midterms which so HORRIBLY happened to the day before my audition.  If I didn't get accepted, I would've literally wasted my time and f'kd up my marks beyond repair.  Thank god I did... maybe that's why I'm not stressed about exams?  They don't influence how I'm going to do next year.  Fresh start I guess   

...hmm im going to go get some dill pickle chips right about now...

[go12_3]

Right now, I'm just a bit disappointed in some peoples, and I know how hard it is to make a friend at times. ....but it would be nice though...*sigh*  too busy in their lives.

Yup... There he goes...    If only Ice had moved sooner and let Maverick take the shot...

I hate it that musicians only talk about technique technique technique and teachers speak of teaching music as if it were citizen army training. Drills drills drills run up and down technique technique technique.

I don't remember the last time I've talked to someone about music.
I don't remember the last time I enjoyed playing.
I want to quit this bunch of lies they call a music course.

Do we really want to know?

I think that ultimately we already do know, it's already within us.  And, actually, I think there is not that which is outside of us and then that which is within.  In some respect, I think that when we look to the stars, for example, and somehow glimpse an otherworldy view from somewhere else than earth, that we are actually seeing a reflection of what is within us.  Our perspective though organizes it in a way that sometimes seems to be spacially outside of our reach.

However, I think that who we are scares us as I believe we are individually infinite and eternal.  We look inside of ourselves and there is no bottom, there is no top, there is just space ... and what seems like darkness.  It seems like an abyss.  And so our protectors come in and create floors and cielings to give us some kind of feeling of stability, so we can walk around and function in our daily lives.  I don't think this is bad, and I don't promote that we dive into ourselves head first without one hand on the sword.  But, I do think that we are forced to break the floors and ceilings, whether we would like to or not.

Today I hear geese and frogs, and I like that.  I have now cleared two raised beds and have "tilled" the soil.  I have pulled some major dandelions that have been cluttering the path ... and it seems a garden is truly going to be happening this year.  I am excited, but I find that now I am having a difficult time deciding what to grow and exactly where.  It's a funny thing, now that I am clearing the raised beds, I want to save them from having plants in them, and think about planting veggies everywhere else around the yard... go figure !  It's similar to a time when I had a clean scrub brush to wash the floors and bathtub with, and didn't want to use it because it would get dirty, so I had a dirty one, too, which I used to actually clean things with.

I agree

However, I think that who we are scares us as I believe we are individually infinite and eternal.  We look inside of ourselves and there is no bottom, there is no top, there is just space ... and what seems like darkness.  It seems like an abyss.

What happens to me is that space also disappears "there"

  And so our protectors come in and create floors and cielings to give us some kind of feeling of stability, so we can walk around and function in our daily lives.  I don't think this is bad, and I don't promote that we dive into ourselves head first without one hand on the sword.

I see, I sometimes tend to forget that sword...it's one of light I guess...

  But, I do think that we are forced to break the floors and ceilings, whether we would like to or not.

Well I don't agree about the being forced thing, but I think I get what you mean.

Yeah what is on my mind now, I sometimes seem to meet you at this "place", so there is actually no more abyss because you are there...Anyway I am not anymore scared of this abyss though, what still scares me sometimes are some of the people on earth...

[go12_3]

Most of the people on this earth  travel on their own path where ever it may lead them.  Yes, I may seem somewhat philosophical now.  People may try to reach out and help, but would their *intentions* be sincere or flawed in some way?  And also, with this being the Internet, what consistutes a *friend* anyhow.  Yes, indeed, that is what is on my mind now......hum...

If I am on my path and it is truly my path it's the best I can do, for myself and for others. Difficulties occur only if I leave my path. There is a profound confidence in me that my path, if it's really and honestly, truly my path, will go well together with other people's paths and we will agree sometime in the same intentions.

[m19834]

Well I don't agree about the being forced thing, but I think I get what you mean.

Well, if nothing else, we are each forced by some means to come to grips with the concept of mortality and finiteness, and conversely then, with the concept of life, eternity, and infinity.  It is perhaps the greatest "math" problem of our time here really, and we must ultimately work it out within our own beings individually, but we are asked to more or less "show our work" as we go along ... hee hee.

My stomach hurts ugh.

Second shift at work tomorrow, 5am start. Can't believe it took 5 months to get a casual job...bloody hell.

I'm mentally exhausted and have no desire to play. I rather go on some bike rides for a while until I feel better in shape and the desire to play returns.

[thalbergmad]

Bloody good idea.

I have always found that physical exhaustion is a good cure for mental exhaustion.

Thal

[pianowolfi]

Yeah you're absolutely right

It is easy for me Wolfi. 50 miles and i am knackered.

I expect you need a fair bit more.

Now not yet, since I have been rather "inwards" for quite a while, but perhaps next weekend I might need more, or the weekend after. And in the summer I will go to ride passes in the Alps
