Nature - What a bunch of crap.

So I'm sitting here, really late leaving for work, because of the shittastic severe thunderstorms in the area, thinking about how much I hate driving in a storm, and thinking even more how much I HATE being late for work.

I was already late during my first week because of super dense fog. I'm not sure what's up with this weather. It's trying to thwart me. I don't care for that.

On the plus side . . . yeah, I've got nothing.

At least it's Friday and I can sleep in tomorrow. Always a bonus.

Meditation

So I've been doing yoga every morning for the past few months (except for those days when I was sick, where I decided laying around moaning would be better for me all around) and I'm still not quite down with the whole meditation/relaxation part. I'm getting better, and I do feel better after I do the yoga, but it's hard for me not to start thinking of my to do list while I'm supposed to be clearing my brain.

Years ago, I lived in Santa Fe and was attempting some sort of relaxation/yoga/meditation thing (if at first you don't succeed, you know). One of the things I was supposed to do was focus my inner eye (I know, right?) on a flaming purple rose. I've never hit that point, but I'm still trying. What I usually get is brief flashes of each image, something like this:

Flaming





Purple




Rose




Or sometimes Rose

A Little Bit About Me, 2.

I like doing things for people. However, if I do something for someone and they don't say thanks, that really makes me think less of them. A lot less.

What's up?

Well, I had every intention of publishing almost every day. And then I got sick - a horrific flu-type thing with ear infections (if I'm going out, I'm doing it big) and then I had to catch up on everything since I spent 2 1/2 days laying on the couch watching dvds (Office Space/Clueless/Scrubs/Casablanca) and trying to make out what the people were saying since I couldn't hear anything.

I'm feeling better now, and can hear pretty well, although I'm getting a painful cracking in my left ear. I hope it goes away soon, because I do not want to go to the doctor again. It's too aggravating. I was on hold 20 minutes trying to make an appointment. I'll be honest, I'm surprised more people don't go apeshit in doctor's offices.

So, in keeping with my "WHAT THE FUCK?" kind of world, the other day, I'm walking on a very public city street, in downtown College City, going to work, when I see on the sidewalk: clumps of human hair. Not tumbleweeds, like from a hairbrush. Swatches. Like someone was behind a person who was walking really slow and got impatient and pulled out his or her hair cutting scissors and took off a couple hunks of hair. The color is a reddish brown and the clumps have been there since Monday. Explain, please.

Other than that, I've not got much. We watched Idiocracy and Man on Fire and I'll just say, don't waste your time.
