Anyone want to create a group at Sparkle for 43thingers???

I really “wanted” to go yesterday to the gym (2 minutes by elevator from my floor) but instead I’d a pound of Yuca (A very starchy root) with Chicken Tasajo (Smoked chicken) deluding myself on that I’ll go later and I would prepare dinner first. While I was “preparing” dinner, since I was still hungry I put in the microwave a “5 minute rissoto” after eating all of it finally I finished preparing dinner: 2 pounds of spagetthi with chicken…That spagetthi never got to the 6:00pm dinner time btw…either I’m overeating or it was really good…

No wonder I’m 220 lbs now!! :-(

Still...

It seems I’m able to “Stop” just for a few seconds, wondering if I’m manic. Anyways, at least I got to take the dogs to the vet, still have a pending list of stuff, what would be required to force myself to stop and reevaluate where I am and what I want to do, it’s always easier saying it to yourself than doing it, one rarely follows our own advise or others’s.

Remember that 43things 5 things to be grateful always made me stop and think and I miss that, I’ll add that goal again.

Moments ago found an interesting quote:

“The only obstacle is the distance between your ears”

Prognatus creo...

Well, I finally put in order my desk, bought that Tiffany lamp I wanted and moved out of my room everything that could make me feel constrained.

The new version of java on Vista somehow wrecked my freemind installation and now I can update my ideas mindmap.

Is amazing how little stuff like that can keep you from doing.

I missed this semester registration for the master’s degree, so I’ve to wait, would push forward every day for the next 4 months to complete at least half of my ideas cloud after that, my whole focus would be on the degree.

I need to do this before my next existential crisis hit hehehe.

Damn!

Four days of celebrating my birthday I spent 600 US. Amazing, I could’d travel to Caracas for a weekend with that amount and having a better used time instead of, well, basically, debauchery.

Dispersed...

That feeling of everything going to fast for me to care, I thought I’d overcome it, when I tripped and felt into the maelstrom again, don’t know, but is way clear I’m willing or unwillingly, more willing I think, to put myself again in a path of self-destruction.

Best sign of this: this year five priorities, so important at the beginning of this year, now don’t induce the simplest emotional response.

Is stability deluding me into thinking everything is ok? while my mind blocks itself, the barely capability of rationality that I’m allowed to summon is not enough to make me react, shake, awake.

Is like being trapped in a dream, trying to awake myself but unable to do so, while danger looms closer and closer.

Maybe I’m down and I hadn’t notice, could be, wish I could just go away for a while, alone, to sit and ask freely and without fear of judgment, “Ken, what’s going on now?” and receive an answer.

Update Status

-Debts
Up to date with all payments Zero Credit Cards. There’s a 218 showing up in my mortgage, seems is interest because a skipped payment from the office. Need to check that.

-Personal
Never thought an open relationship would be this taxative, more if I find troublesome just to get laid when I’m emotionally involved with someone else.

-Professional
Anyone can hear the word “stagnation” echoing around? Enjoy the job but is this what I want to be doing when I reach my 40ts?!!

-Alternate careers
Not even had done the required research.

-Family
I told myself I’ll marry before turning 36, that’s in two days!

The Artits's way

Got two useful tools from reading the book, I’m at week 5. The morning pages, is amazing the amount of stuff I’ve zumbing around. There’s more clutter and baggage than I thought!

I’d stabilized work, education and finance are still concerns from what I can read from my unscripted streams of conciusness.

Love the walks with myself, used to do it when I was younger and needed time on my own. Now even I’m alone at my room, I’m not really alone, the clutter is there, both physical and mental, at least in the park under a soft rain it has where to expand and give me some space.

Folding cranes now is almost second nature, tough this task is going to be an exercise in discipline and patience. There’s an interesting history behind the folding of 1000 origami cranes I wasn’t aware of when started this task, an ancient Japanese legend says that if anyone folds a thousand origami cranes is granted a wish, like having a long life or recover from their illness or injury.

Cranes can also be sent to Hiroshima to be added to the children’s monument there.

Get 5 people to sign my pledge

The United Nations have an online volunteer program called the United Nations Online Volunteering Programme

Nabuur is another site that has “villages”, those are actual communities around the world where a specific job needs to be done.

I currently dedicate 4 hours a week to volunteer tasks. I’ll give another hour a week if I can get at least 5 43thinglings to pledge to help doing volunteer work trough any of the mentioned sites!

It’s been a lot rewarding, and the comunnity of people helping there is very alike the 43things community.

The tasks go from the very basic to the specialized but because of the remoteness and sometimes lack of computer and information resources (internet) in those places is that our help is required: helping to create a marketing brochure, design a log, search google for farming techniques or water resources handling, looking for donors, putting up a website, translating from one language to another, tasks we all can do in our lunch break or idle time and that can hep to change lives around the world!

Kickstart Hegemon...

Now that I’ve the tools I always find something that is missing and I’m using it as an excuse to not start. After investing almost 3K on this I cannot believe I’d allow so many months pass by without doing something about it.

Maybe taking a challenge that would require the tools I need would kickstart me again, instead of not accepting work because I think that “maybe” something would be amiss.

Poverty...

The other day I readed an article on a local newspaper. There’s a lot of panamenians living on less than two dollars a day.

Guess I’ll start to be more open to help homeless people when they ask for help.

1.46!! Wonder if I can last long enough living on that daily budget, I spent ten times that daily between transport, snacks and food.

Knowing how weak and the headaches I feel if I skip meals one day, no wonder the only energy left to them is to pursuit food by beggin or get drunk for the narcotic and caloric effect, besides is actually cheaper than bread right now, nobody can think of work in such a weakened state, I remember when I was studying at the university and had to use my short money to buy stuff had to decide between eating or buying supplies, those were hard times…

I’ll try to live for a week under that budget, whatever I save, I’ll use to buy supplies for a local charity.

Week 1 almost done...

It’s been hard. I stopped a couple of months ago most of my addictions intending to see if I’d lost anything to them, when I started the morning pages, it was painful, very emotionally intense, the things that would thwarted those negative emotions from my system weren’t there, and they down on me with the full strenght of a truck, so much that I felt tempted to go back to them.

But I understood the purpouse of the whole exercise, was not to focus on the evil but to be aware that those things were there…

I’m looking forward my next week!!

Found a nice exerpt about this topic...

“How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one’s culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.”

By Barry Lopez.

Some personal thoughts:

I Face that every day, as the quote says, how to be compassionate, when it seems the whole world conspires to make you be otherwise.

My advice:
Live out. Don’t try to answer the question. Live on. If you find yourself failing, be bold, lean on the light, put distance between you and whatever tries to pull you back into the never-ending cycle of wrongdoing others…Live with a compassionate heart, surround yourself by likewise people!

Grateful to be able to feel ungrateful

I’d been dreaming with water all the weekend, everywhere within my dreams, running water, clear pristine water, oceans of water. My favourite environment seemed to be the motiff on whatever my mind has been trying to tell me all weekend. So I wake up this morning with a positive outlook to the small drizzle of rain, after all, I love rainy season.

Then I turned on the TV and the first glimpes of the Burma tragedy kicked in, there was the beautiful water that flowed so benign within my dream world wracking havoc half the world across.

I’m Grateful for my country being spared of such natural disasters.

I’m Grateful for water that gives life, and that may take it.

I’m Grateful for the wrath I felt, the rage against a absent landlord sometimes I wish would be looking our way more often.

I’m Grateful to be ungrateful.

I’m Grateful for water in the form of tears.

2. D’s impromptu visit. Traveling from Mexico to Panama just to say hello, guess I cannot beat that.

3. Losing my cellphone. Feeling the same peace I found when I got rid of my wristwatch decades ago. But now everyone is like crazy because they can get to me. I even was amonested by my boss because he couldn’t find me on saturday, which is plain ridiculous since is my personal cellphone and I don’t work on saturdays.

4. Doing it. Finally feeling my vegetative spell is going away, on friday I actually went to the gym, programmed a lot and finished two more books.

5. My go frugal goal. I need more space, my room feels crowded with all that computers and monitors, plus the dogs that now live “permanentley” inside my room since is the cooler one. I may get rid of the bed and install one of those sofas that you can make a bed so I can actually have an office to do work.
