Wow, so much to write about in the last week plus since I last wrote, but I will try to keep this short, I don't want to write a blog as long as Jack would normally write. I will start with a recipe that I just discoverd a couple of weeks ago, it is a non Alcaholic Drink coctail kind of thing.. you start by taking one of those little jars of Pineapple juice, you know, the ones they used to give you on airplanes.. am I dating my self? pour that in a glass. then you realize that you want more to drink then that, so you add some lemonaid that is left in the fridge as well.. Then you think hmmm, this neads something, so you pour some juice from the bottle of Maricino cherries that is in the refridgerator door. IT makes this lovely pinkish juice in a glass with ice.. I have to come up with a name for it, but the only name that truely describes the taste would be Pink Grapefruit juice.. believe it or not it tasted exactly like Grapefruit juice, Try it, and let me know if you had the same result. OK, now that I have written that, I saw the movie American History X finally, WOW what an awsome movie.. I thought it was going to be so different then it was.. I really enjoyed it. Ed Norton is a god of actors in my book. Moving on further, This last weekend went to Iowa with Jack and those happy Fiances Jeremy and Meghan We spent a wonderful weekend relaxing at the lake.. although I feel really bad because the weather was so hot I didn't really feel up to doing alot until around midnight and everyone was ready to go to bed, I ended up not getting as much sleep as I would have liked.. I want to figure out a time we can all go back and do some of the things it was just to hot to do like go to the Amusement park and maybe some Mini Golf and go Karts, but it was just to hot for any of that.. so it was a day on the lake and a day in the lake.. swimming yesterday was pretty nice, I generally don't like swimming, but yesterday it felt really good to be in the water. Ok, I have said all the quickies that I feel need to be said, more details later, hopefully I will write more now that summer is rapidely comming to an end.
Food EAten: tonight, too hot to cook.. made veggie burgers and salad, with some melon.
Music Listened to: today, I won't go into all I have listened to since my last blog, only today the Dave Gahan CD, Daniel Ash, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, The Cure.
Moral of the Day: When it is really hot and you hop into your car, remember to turn the fan down before starting the car.
Ok, Michelle and I were talking the other day and she was telling me of this meditation technique where you relax and visualize something.. so I figured, what a great writing exercise to write something for people to meditate to and visualize.. of course it would work better if I made this an audio tape, then you the reader could close your eyes and meditate, and you wouldn't be confused with my spelling. but you can still let your mind wander as you read these words..
focus on your breathing, feel it gently moving in and out of your nose feel the air swirling as it works its way down your throat into your lungs, feel the coolness of the air as it fills your lungs and as you exhale feel the warmth of the air on you nostrals.. feel your mind following the air as it dissapates into the room.. feel yourself floating in the room.. as the air currents move you gently around the room.. now feel yourself sucked through a crack in the windowpane.. now you are outside, floating.. the sun is warming you, the moisture that was in your body is now getting lighter and you are drifting up into the sky.. you start to form wtih a cloud.. feel the cool dampness of the water vapor on your face as you slowly merge with the water.. now feel your body getting heavier and now you are a raindrop falling back to the earth.. gently landing in the water.. now feel yourself floatin in the ocean.. your body merging with the waves.. slowly you sink into the water.. you feel the cold salty water filling your lungs.. choking you.. drowning you.. now you slowly land on the bottom of the ocean.. the fish start eating your skin, bits of your flesh are now hanging off your body, as other fish come and eat the flakes of skin as they slowly work their way off your muscles. Until you are only exposed skeleton, you feel the sting of your bones exposed like a tooth sensitive to cold. now, a hundred years have passed, divers discover your remains, you are taken to the surface, you are back on land.. the rain is falling gently on you filling the spaces beteween your ribs.. joining you back to earth and the rest of your flesh.
ok.. that was my meditation practice for today.. hope you enjoyed it..
Music Listened to: Front 242, Daniel Ash, Moby, Fischerspooner.
food Eaten: Grilled Quesidillas and smores.
