Where's Waldo?

"Pull Over" Okay, I Will
October 2, 2010--Had to get out of the house. Needed to get away. Outside tapping at the keyboards just enjoying this nice autumn night. Can’t really tell in California, though. No demarcation from one season to another. It is just nice weather,  then not so hot, and back to nice again. After living back East, I rather have more helios. For me, I prefer the steadiness and sun

Just Sitting There
So what now? Well, its bucket list time. Found a website where I can start putting my bucket list on the electron internet-verse. Leaving a record of what I would like to accomplish. Having a guidepost of stuff I’d like to see and do. A list in which I can mark off things I have done. A reminder of what my dreams and wishes were before.

Little Things
Been using my journal to document this and I am a true believer in putting pen to paper. The act of putting a promise to yourself and what to do. Trouble is keeping reminders at times creates clutter.  Been reading a book of Feng Shui and learned something. Clutter, in a nutshell, not so good. I have clutter. Think its genetic. My dad had stuff all around, too. The garage is also a bit messy, too. Bedroom is like that. Clutter, time for you to go. You are are effecting my Flow.

Let Go, Let Flow
One principal states that one should remove the clutter. Let the energy flow. Don’t get stagnant. Reminds me of the Buddhist thing about carrying stuff and how it can bog you down. We are given what we need and we should leave what we don’t need.

Something Happen For a Reason

Well, the gist of this is that these last couple of weeks stuff has been swirling around the cranium. Stuff has been stirring in the emotional core. Body’s feeling backed up. Holding all this stuff is not good and a nice house cleaning may be in order.  My laptop crashed and I lost a lot of stuff there. Still, not too terribly torn up about it. Guess I needed to wipe the slate clean with stuff. Go tabula rasa.

Enjoy Where You Are At
Well, sitting out here in the patio of It’s a Grind. Feeling the swirling energies of the cars behind me. Listening to the crickets sing their song. Enjoying a nice hot cocoa. It feels nice to feel the swirl. To let the energy centrifuge the unnnecessaries out. It rained and lightning-ed (I know not a word) a couple days back. It was cleansing.  It is not the same as getting my ions recharged at the beach, but for now it will do.

Clockwork.Few days back it was the hottest recorded temperature for this time of the year. 113 degrees. Thought it would be an ideal to wash the car. You see I have got this gift. Whenever I go to a restaurant, less than 5 or 10 minutes, it gets busy thus slowing down the servers from getting or order in a timely. But that is not my greatest gift. I can solve the water problem in California. You see whenever it rains, the next day or two it showers. Well, like clockwork. Wash car Tuesday, rain on Thursday.  You are welcome.

Sitting There On Side of the Road

Anyways, just want wanted to enjoy the now. It is just nice to smell the rain in the air. Looking at the clouds hang so closely. It is nice to see the contrast of something a little dangerous and calming. For the longest time, I’ve felt calmest during the storm. My old Myspace had that background. (Think its to delete this one) Well, anyways, its almost eight and I think I’d like to just enjoy my hot cocoa.

Yeah, he's in all the pictures. Something told me to stop at that time. I then started clicking away.

Up and Away
Sorry, no moral. No theme. Just a pleasant sharing of thoughts with those out there.  Guess, I wasn’t ready to say, So Long. Getting the vibe to just take a moment of pause. Sitting there on the side of the road taking picture of the San Andreas Fault line on Highway 14. I realized that I wasn't the only one there taking a moment. Looked up and there he was. Guess, he needed something, too. We all need something. Needed to get some perspective. Needed to Elevate and Escape. Needed to know I wasn't the only one that needed to take a moment. At times, life goes by so fast that it would be best to just pullover on the side of the road.You'd be surprised there is much  to discover and appreciate.

Think It's Time

September, Goodbye. I barely knew you

Don’t know what happened that made you go so fast.  Been silent these last couple of weeks. Cocooning wondering what these next three months of 2010 will bring. Tasked out some stuff I would like to see and do. Don’t know if I will write or blog anymore. Not sure. Seems of late that times of silence and times of reflections are coming these winter months.

Many things I have been seen these last 9 months. Many things I've done and still I would like to do. Don’t know if I will be FBing either. Twitting has been silent lately. Think this social network may be running its course.

Don’t know where this is all coming from. Just seems its time to get back to basics. Handwrite  letters. Make phone calls instead of texting and messaging. Time to look people in the face instead of photo album of Facebook.

Met some many nice people Saayidah and the Artists Way group. Writing groups, too. Had fun at the Eyeopener Toastmasters. Had fun at Chess Club. Enjoyed  the roadtrip with Jason to No Cal and back. Connected with long-missed friends. Steven, Tammy, Elaine, Corrines, Lisa, Miriam, April, LeeAnn, Cynthia,  Diane, Michelle, Ramandeep, Ramsin, Marc. Sorry to see some people leave, Heather, Dana, Mary. Sorry never had a chance to really connect Brian and M. Met via FB family members I never knew, Minnie, Aunty Mary,Winnel, Roselyn, Rosette, Mark, Larry, Pia, Barbara and Aunty Pat. Reconnected with cousins and aunts that made think how too much time has passed. However, time seems to be calling for something more. Time to introspect. Time to Inspect. Time Its time for something, different.

A few days my computer crashed and I lost some of my pictures, music, and documents. It was bit disheartening. However, it was time for a mass cleaning anyways. Life has been feeling cluttered. My  computer tech guy will be bringing whatever documents and pics he can. However, it is time to cocoon. Time to Feng Shui. This computer loss was not as bad as I initially thought.

These last nine months I need to expand and fill gaps, but something thinks its time to contract. Maybe it’s the weather. Maybe it’s the time of the year. Maybe it’s a friend sending vibes to come in. Don’t know. Whatever, the need to write and share has been a hitting a wall of late. Think it’s time for a new direction. Time to finish this series. Next few months will be flying by. Halloween, Kevin and Angelo’s Birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. It is time to fill my life with more stories. Time to process.

Started writing because I had something to say. Now not so much. Think its time to listen and enjoy the present now. Don’t think right now what the future holds, but I know that its time to sit and pray and gym it. It is time to Bucket List again.Time to get with the Big Smile on a more one-on-one.

Just want to thank the Big Smile for all that has been given. Thank you for all the family and friends I met. Thank you for the sights seen and experiences had. Thank you letting me share some of the things I have learned and seen. As a person said, “It’s better with company.”

This is not goodbye or anything. It is just time for bucket listing. Then Bucket Doing.

Who knows tomorrow? I might go on a run of posting. At this moment in time, September 30, 2010, it seems to reflect and rejoice.  Whatever tomorrow brings I want to thank the universe for giving me everything I ever needed. For those that commented and emailed me, thank you so much for your kind words.

Think its time to go.
