Flight of the Conchords

I'm a posting maniac!
Please watch the lil' ol' clip of the most amazing tv show ever - flight of the conchords. Simply scroll on down and prepare to be highly entertained. Please start watching them so I can have a plethora of people to throw quoates back and forth with. I've always wanted to start a movement.

Epiphany

My friend Mary and I took a trip down the ol' california coast recently. Along the way we realized that all of life's oddities can be explained with four statements.
1.Life is wierd
2.People are crazy
3.It's just physics
4.It must be elvish
Seriously, it works. This is going to relieve your existential stress.
I love the beach. I am imaginging myself as a surfing beach bum.

Predictions and predilections

Dylan and I spent five days and four nights treking through the grand tetons in wyoming. Wow. I never knew what beauty lay beyond vast peaks; what is waiting to be discovered by those willing to cross into the wild. I saw amazing glaciers, glacier lakes, waterfalls. I saw a moose in the distance and encountered a bear that walked within ten feet of me. My back hurt from my pack, my feet ached, the nights were bitterly cold, I got tired of eating granola and nuts - but, oh how it was all worth it! I think this excursion has rejuvinated my spirit. I feel a stirring in the wind - promises of good things to come. I just need to realize that sore feet accompany, and eventually lead to, colored horizons.

On the precipice

Sometimes I have glimpses of sunlight, streaming through the clouds on waves of promise and hope. Sometimes I go for a run and the Spirit seems to be rustling the trees, telling me secrets that I will decipher with time and experience. These keep me going. I love what I'm doing, where I am, who I am, who I have. I think I just choose to open myself wide to the world - the pain, joy, surprise, fear, unexpected - because I like the thought of being stripped clean by all of it, even if it hurts. It somehow feels good in the end because I choose to take the storm in my own way - with arms spread in defiance and acceptance of what is coming. Damn it, I am going to stand on the edge of the precipice and stare into it because I'd rather do that then fear going over. Besides, there is never just one thing at the bottom of them.

Enigma

I have no idea why I am starting a blog. This is not in accordance with my known aversion to anything resembling electronic communication. Now that I psychoanalyze individuals on a daily basis, I will attempt to discover my unconscious agenda. I suppose I am reaching out to the friends who have known me for so long because I feel as if I am an enigma even to myself. Don't we all need some grounding sometime? It is so appropriate that I am a Gemini, because I have so many "faces" which are easily adaptable in various situations, with various types of people. Sometimes I think that I have changed so much from what I used to be that no one would really believe it if they really knew everything about me. And, I'm okay with this. I think I thrive on the discovery, the change. It comes with a bit of a price, though - lonliness and confusion. I think it's okay to feel like you are an enigma to yourself sometimes. Jai yen yen is thai for "cool down baby, take it easy". It reminds me of reggae music, my dad and my philosophy for life.
