authentic politics?
is it possible?
i've been away a while i know...got
lost in my little black box and a move and life in
general...but this little video
got me a little choked up (just a little...i'm still hard as nails)
and i wanted to notice that in public...i've had a good feeling about john
edwards for a long time, and now he looks like he's working a bigger
game...shedding the mask a bit...this goes along with my new work, but i think
it's best to keep politics as far away from that as possible. and so...you've
got chasbaudelaire to kick around once
again!
"we're so conditioned. we're conditioned to say the same things, we're conditioned to say what's safe, we're conditioned to be political, and it's hard to shed all that. i can be in the middle of being what feels real and authentic to me and i'll get into a little reel in my head; i can see it happening and i have to pull myself back out."

many happy returns indeed
what else can i say?
so in the past 23 days i've graduated
iin , been accepted into and registered for the
immersion program , signed a lease, weaseled out
of a lease, and smooth talked my way back into said lease...on averton street, point six miles as the crow
flies from where i currently sit, to the southwest yet, which is saying
something i suppose. oh yeah, and i've got a new
book coming my way. and speaking of books...if you ever pop a key off
of your ibook...or if a little creature too cute to ever be mad at does it for
you...look here for good sensible directions on how to put
it back...this link alone ought to pay you back all the time you've spent vainly
perusing these pages.

commitment
and what could be more
chaotic?
okay so i popped the question and ran
said yes and i guess sometime near the end of '07 or the start of '08 she'll be
getting a new last name and we'll be hauling rowan and a babysitter off to
someplace sunny for a
week...
woo hoo!
woo hoo!

fall out
escape is at hand
got news from andrew (number 2 ? or just the landlord?) that our
apartment is up for condo, and so after a week's deliberation we've settled on
getting out of the village for once and for all...hoping it's
not really just "many happy returns"...we'll be singing "dem bones" all the way
to california i'm
sure...
perhaps we should watch all 17 episodes before we have to pack up the vcr...

a new view of the news
what life isn't
lifted this from rob brezsny , who got it from steve salerno
...
In its most elementary sense, after all, newsworthiness is built on a foundation of anomaly -- the classic "man bites dog" paradigm. (A second newsroom aphorism: "Nobody writes about the planes that land.")
Though that sounds common-sensical enough, few of us pause to think about the upshot of such truisms. That is, what you see each day on television, read about in the newspaper or hear during those 22-minute segments in which all-news radio stations promise to deliver "your world" is not, in fact, your world. Rather, it is the negative image of your world. Put another way, the news provides you with a high-resolution snapshot of what life isn't.
...
My advice would be to defer worrying about whatever the TV shows are hyping until you begin seeing unending waves of good news. That's when you'll know that the world is indeed a mess. In the meantime, the worse the news, the better you should feel about life.

attraction
like a magnet
fantastic session with heather
today...she has such a way to get me to look in the mirror and see myself for
what i am...a holistic health counsellor among other
things...and to get me to recognize my hedges for what they are, pretty green
fences...keeping me in or other people out? either way stopping
connection...
so then...i've re-arranged my calendar, creating space for fun in the middle of all the work, and i've arranged for some help arranging my office, trading massage for professional organizing from my friend kristin mallery of simplify , and i've set up my first presentation as a holistic health coach (yeah, that's right, i'm playing around with the nomenclature), a breathing talk that you'll get the skinny on if you subscribe to my newsletter (contact works better than comment, although i love comments!).
and that's that...

the pro pro
i'm so happy with the horoscopes that rob brezsny has
bestowed upon me this week that i'm posting them up so i'll see them more
often.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This isn't always the
case, Scorpio, but right
now you have a certain resemblance to that type of wild iris known as
blue-eyed grass. Its stem isn't hardy enough to hold up more than one
flower blossom at a time; before a new bloom sprouts, therefore, the old
one has to wither. Similarly, you can't and shouldn't try to work on more
than a single labor of love, at least for the next week. Devote all your
concentration and care to it, ignoring the other possibilities. And don't
worry: This narrowing of your focus is a good thing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Good news, Capricorn. Right now your
financial prospects look almost as bright as those of the oil industry,
whose earnings grew 42 percent in the last three months of 2005. There
is a caveat, however. If, like the companies that sell gasoline, you attempt
to capitalize on bad news and profit at the expense of the collective well-
being, your money situation will suffer. To gather all of the good
economic fortune that's available, you've got to redouble your efforts to
maintain high levels of integrity.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Several of my friends have given names to
their cars, and I know many other people who have bestowed appellations
on their homes, their vacuum cleaners, their favorite trees, and their
genitals. In Norse mythology, the god Thor affectionately called his magic
golden hammer by the name Mjollnir. It so happens that this would be a
ripe time for you to experiment with this approach, Aquarius. I think you'll
find that as you name your home and car as well as every plant, toaster,
traffic light, crow, and cloud, that the whole world will become more alive
and friendly and helpful.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "We are what we pretend to be," wrote
author Kurt Vonnegut, "so we must be careful about what we pretend to
be." This is excellent advice to keep at the forefront of your awareness
during the coming weeks, Pisces. Here's how I interpret his statement:
There's not necessarily anything wrong with playing a role if that role is in
alignment with your highest values. In fact, to make believe that you are
the person you want to be is an excellent strategy for actually becoming
the person you want to be.
