I have observed that we all have our special talent - that trick or singular craft unique to each individual - the performance of which always leaves those who appreciate it in awe and wanting more. I read the Alchemist a while ago, and I've found some truth in the idea that these talents are closely related to ones personal destiny...

so, despite my behavior of late I'm realizing that I identify and define myself by my supposed laid-back-ness... or at least that's one of my identifying qualities...
so the question is: is that an unrealistic self-image, or have I simply found myself in rather tense, high-strung situations of late?

Okay, so moods have stabilized a bit...
but self-image is still an issue.
further introspection required....

So, I've come to observe that any day I'm 5min late for work, I feel like a complete and utter failure for up to 3 days afterward.
That is not an appropriate emotional response.

Apparently, I'm something of a celebrity at work...
When did this happen?
oh yeah - they put me in the company paper as "The Service Desk Guy"...
But who reads those things...?

So I saw Star Trek, also known as Star Trek Wing (alternate timeline, bishi versions of the characters,more explosions) the other night with
dinnerbum, AND LOVED IT! After the mistake which was Enterprise, I can't believe they made me like the Rodenberryverse again.
They actually killed off all the Tolkien-elves-in-space and now the galaxy is a much more sinister and dangerous (not-to-mention more interesting) place.

In older, "less civilized" cultures,
a person might discuss his troubling dreams
with the wise men or elders
medicine men and prophets
someone you respect, and trust
with whom you feel comfortable.
In our modern society, we've grown so distant from one another
(I should know - I'm perhaps more guilty of this than most.)
Now we pay professionals for that kind of relationship
or at least a shadow and a feeling of intimacy.
In our local communities, we've lost that web of trust,
of intimacy
of respect
of comfort.

I was reminded of something I learned long ago about compassion: don't forget that your surrogate family can disappoint you as well. Try not to be any harder on them for it.

I've just been awakened by the sound of a stranger retching into around my toilet.
Thankfully (for him) I recognised the inebriated intruder as the downstairs neighbour's out-of-town guest.

I was making my way back to the hotel in Chicago at 4am, chased by neon demons and the sweat/ash/blood/sex smell of the night's activities. My ever-dutiful legal advisor picked this opportunity to remind me that our flight to Seattle would be leaving from O'Hare at 8:30 am. "8:30?!" I asked. "That's an ungodly hour for a man to be up," especially when we're running low on mescaline and amphetamines...
