It might be about timing, the moment, the mood and attitude, maybe. I don't like to quit; I'm not into it, even though I state it almost at the exact same times of the year. Can quitting be bigger than the very thing you're quitting? I mean, if it was easy than why try and if it wasn't and you quit anyway, well, how are you going feel, or look, or feel and look? Foolish? Smart? Strong? Weak? None of the above, maybe, or all of the above.

Me personality? I do not have a problem giving direct invitation, ya-know, skip the hear say shit. See who comes along and does not; well at least some times. I don't think I've ever been happy quitting something, except maybe a girl friend or four; though every man has a Venus we wouldn't have choice if weren't from Mars. Loyalty, faithfulness and self-preservation of character are always important to me. To others, it's an opportunity or test. I Rarely value the opinions or criticism from others. I'll value only from those who have been there, a look in the eye can tell me that, tell me that they have been there. It's like a mirror, looking in a mirror; their are also the innocent question's that brings me back to the starting point, reminders I love when that happens. I'm not bitter, or sad, or anything strawberry like that. Time always rewards my instinct, but it's the waiting that's piercing in my looming serenity' most times.

I might take the opportunity this time and saunter tiny steps, steps I have ambled before and see at what point I lose my way, if indeed I have ever lost my way. Then again, loosing your way, I've see with most people is were they find what there looking for.

Fumbling his confidence
And wondring why the world has passed him by
Hoping that hes meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Dreaming about providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe weve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe were bent and broken, broken
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
We want more than this worlds got to offer
We want more than this worlds got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live |

There are like, a thousand of us, I got about two dozen cousins in the lower east alone, and each and every one is a loner; shit we don’t even gather on the holidays.
We bump into each other occasionally, say high, swap stuff, loan money, hugs and kisses and move on.

The distant between us is about a few families in-between, meaning, we are apart but not far from each other; I come from a family of black sheep beacon's.
In the mean time, I hang out in small villages doing my abc's of life and watch the clicks gather together and fall apart to reintegrate again into something new but always the same old song.
"You are a king by your own fireside, as much as any monarch in his throne" ~Miguel de Cervantes
It's like a whirl wind, it's a pass'e, its like "the happening" and cant be explained; red tides, strange ailments or UN-explained phenomena-o-drama.
Family or other Social networks, were all connected now-a days, from with our pockets, purses and belt clips, and so there goes the mysteries that make us who we thought you thought we were or wanted you to believe but really are not at all. |

About last Monday night, switchfoot meant to live....
Sometimes I get the feeling. That no matter how you feel and what you do about it, still, will never really change anything. Not that I am aiming to change anything, but I do like to hold on to the moments for a bit longer than one should.
I think, sometimes, I need to just let it go, but I feel if I let it go, too easy, it might happen again. And it has, and there is not a thing I can do about it-that can change anything about it, but I do make a difference once in awhlie. I wish, I was, like a jade ring on a finger pointing to the faith-fantastic.

By chance there were the signs and the gifts that fall to us in the form of a glass of wine, a shot of whiskey and a cold beer in a rugged bar.
I woke up Monday morning from dreaming of Turtles, old, wise, and tiny. And then later that day, drank it away… at the cost of 200 bucks; LOL…

I feel my patients is being exercised right now, my sense of understanding and simple kindness is being utilized. Maybe, I was ment to wander; I guess.
What am I doing wrong; or right... I'm missing something, dont know what it is-if there is something. Dont know what Im fighting for ether.
I guess I should be greatful. Im happy; my karma should be okay... I try my best.... I've been there done that, I guess I should be grateful. I'm greatful, for sure...
Character is always the best bet in the end. Character and karma, always two peas in-a pod, always two sides of a coin. We live we learn we love... we look foward. |

Last Saturday morning I woke up from dreaming about elephants.
“An elephant is a mouse with an operating system”
I woke up sober and with out a headache even though I had nearly a full bottle of Jameson in my belly. |
Tiny crystal blue Elephants, marching and whaling in song.
One elephant’s trunk was broken in two so he couldn’t sing. I new I had to fix its trunk or get it a new one. So I journeyed out to find something to fix the elephant trunk.
I was on a road made of brick and butter, flower petals and paper clips, and the horizon was vertical with a vanilla sky on one side and a green ocean of mint jelly on the other.
At the end of the road I found a house, huge, tall, like a hollowed out 20 story building, with no windows and one door to enter.
Inside were grassy noels and spiral staircases like roller coaster tracks reaching all the way up to The ceiling.
People were falling down the stair and exploding into dead fish and were floating in the air everywhere. Olga was in my dream with an ex girlfriend giving me direction to where I needed to be; I couldn’t make out anything they were saying.
I kept thinking about the crystal blue elephants. I can here them singing even though I was far away.
I walked up the steps but they were twisting and turning in full circles so I kept falling and trying again.
I left the house and went back to the elephants. One was stolen and replaced with a plastic one. I was distressed but remained calm.
I turned into an elephant and marched, and sang, and moved along the road of brick and butter, petals and paperclips to the vertical horizon made of vanilla skycream. |
ELEPHANT This is the great power of the unconscious processes of life, not just in your body, but around you. Your relationship with the elephant shows how you are dealing with this enormous force.
Symbolic elephant meaning deals primarily with strength, honor, stability and patience, among other attributes.
| To the Hindu way of thought, the elephant is found in the form of Ganesha who is the god of luck, fortune, protection and is a blessing upon all new projects. Ganesha in all his magnificently vibrant elephant glory, is intent on bulldozing obstacles on your behalf (isn't that funny - male elephants are termed "bulls"). |
|
To see an elephant in your dream, indicates that you need to be more patient or more understanding of others. Or perhaps there is a memory that you are holding on to for too long. You need to let go of the past. The elephant is also a symbol of power, strength, faithfulness and intellect. Alternatively, the elephant's introverted personality may be a reflection of your own personality.
So much information about dreaming Elephants and its meaning on google I didnt know what to believe...
To dream that you are riding an elephant, indicates that you are in control of your unconscious and aspects that you once were afraid of. |

“I speak two languages, Body and English” ~Mae West
"Body language is essential for an actress, even if you don't use your body in an athletic way. Just to be free, to use it like your voice. A body can be small and have incredible violence. A body talks" ~ Anne Parillaud
“Get in touch with the way the other person feels. Feelings are 55% body language, 38% tone and 7% words”
"Language is surely too small a vessel to contain these emotions of mind and body that have somehow awakened a response in the spirit.” joyosity" ~Radclyffe Hall
“The universal principle of etymology in all languages: words are carried over from bodies and from the properties of bodies to express the things of the mind and spirit. The order of ideas must follow the order of things” ~Giambattista Vico

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"~Mary Oliver
"When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be -- I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free."~Wendell Berry
"An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind" ~Buddha

Im the Cheese to my Mac
|
The older it gets the further it gets, at least with me. It's always my doing; really. I forget, gotta-move-slow, not sell-my-self or spread myself too thin. I wanna hit it, I fool me sometimes. It's comfortable to be easy, and it's to easy to be comfortable. I remember the patterns and they are always easy. I always do this to myself, cause I want to. I am always in control and I appreciate that; thankful. I like me, but sometimes I get lost with me, and so does everybody else I think, I know. I get sad, then happy, then positive and then arrogant. I step back, everything is fine, arms reach. I think any closer than that might be a hot thing, or, maybe a bad thing, but I always hope its a good thing. Excited, frustrated, relieved and then, omg here we go again. MmMmM- so yummy, I hate it. I hate me sometimes but on the way was soOOo good. Stay away from me, get away from me, I am coming to you. I hate the chase, I don't be hate'n I be full of love. LOooOoong. |

Ones enthusiasm to play can impinge on the quality of there game. Attitude can upshot form and a combination of both enthusiasm and attitude along with who there opponent is can make a difference in the result at anytime during the match. Yes I know this, and yes, my opponent might knows this as well but that still doesn’t water down the fact that, the cooler you are the better the results will be for everyone. |
You practice to get good, and when you do you practice even more to stay that way

Qatar Open Champion!!!!
Dear all,
I played a terrific tournament with a bit of a scare in the first round of 32. I have to admit that my dreams of of winning were almost made empty by Mariusz Skoneczny of Poland. In the round of last 32 he was in the lead 10-8 but I managed to hang in by the skin of my teeth. I ran three consecutive racks (he had a dry break at 10-9) to advance to the final 16. Phew!
In the last 16 and all the way through to the finals I played better and was able to win games with a pretty clear margin. 11-4 against Israel Rota of Philippines, 11-5 with Niels Feijen and 11-3 VS Antonio Cabica. I beat Pin Yi Ko 13-9 in the finals. It was all in all a wonderfully organized event. The conditions were so good. Tables Brunswick Glod Crown 5, Aramith Super Pro balls etc. It still has not quite sunken in yet that I won. Maybe I am tired of all the travelling I have done the last 3 weeks. It really is time now to go to the Finnish countryside lake, kick back and have a nice frosty beer while watching the sun set in the horizon.

| Every coin has two sides. Making a relationship means you can un-make a relationship. You cannot unmake something that you've never made in the first place. I like to think that a relation is already there and what's its made of is up to you. And how you are in that relationship is up to you, and what you do with it is still up to you. |
