Sanity is Relative
Mood:  special
Now Playing: Crazy Train-Ozzy Osbourne
Topic: All in the Family
Market Yesterday. got "my spot" but still no word on whether it is permanent or not. I did okay, but only reached 1/2 of my $ goal. I did have a LOT of people just come and talk about all the "crazy stuff" with me.
One person said he had read a book called "The Quantity of Sanity". The theory is that there is only so much sanity in the universe, and some people get more of it than others. I can see where that could be true. It does however raise a lot of questions in my inquiring little mind! (I realize that is hard to believe and all...)
What if you got more sanity than you needed? Would that drive you crazy? If you were a cup short, could you borrow it from your neighbor? If you die, does it go into a sanity pool to be doled out to a new person? Or do you get to keep it for your next life? Can you choose what you get before you come here? Or do you just get what's available at the time? If you don't need yours anymore can you give it to whomever you choose? Or do you just LOSE IT?!
The good news for all y'all is that I have quite a large family, and I can assure you that there was plenty of sanity left in the pool!!! I just hope that it wasn't contaminated by the swimmers!

Erasing Your Life
Mood:  caffeinated
Now Playing: What If God Was One of Us-Joan Osbourne
Topic: Looking Back
In an infinite universe, there are infinite possibilities. As a body that represents a point where a strand of time crosses a strand of space, we see things from the perspective of our experience. Human beings play out as many conditions as they possibly can, some choosing the path of "success", some atone for past lives. We interact,and learn and teach each other all the way through.
There is no way that one person can come into the world without affecting at least one other person (the mother is changed forever-therefore is the strongest bond). Even if you don't think that what you do matters...I assure you-IT DOES.
Just on an etheric level, when you do not allow yourself, since we are a collective, to use your talents, you slow everybody down!!! Everytime you do something positive, it adds to the collective as well.
In this society, we have learned to become so "self-reliant", that we often don't know that we can actually get help somewhere. We are a nation of survivors. Our forefathers and mothers came here to have the opportunity to rise above. With that kind of entrepeneurial spirit comes some awesome entrepeneurial responsibility!!! (Not that I know anything about that!)
What happens, when you are not up to the task? Depression, anger, frustration, futility. What happens if you are removed from family. what if you remove yourself from friends. Then try to forget that they are there. You stop answering call, strike their names from your personal records. Get rid of the photos. You live alone. You pay bills way ahead of time, you don't have to go out much. You become shrewd and reclusive.
I can tell you, that as hard as you try to erase the memories you shared with the people that had been around you-you shared them!!! And they remember. And they care. And no one can ever be TRULY alone...because you are part of all of it!!!

Running With Wolves
Mood:  lucky
Now Playing: London Callling-the Clash
Topic: Sheep's Clothing
This morning, my son Dylan was the Bailiff in a play about "The Trial of B.B.(Big Bad)Wolf. It was of course about the prosecution of B.B. for the property destruction, and the murder of the two little pigs. I hope this doesn't ruin it for you, but the Wolf get's freed when it comes to light that it is an insurance scam, and that the two little pigs are still ALIVE!!!
This afternooon, Babboo and I were sitting out in the Garden of Fountain, with our "little wolfie" Tyrone, and his best friend Ruby (horse puppy). We were taking care of some legal things which need to be laid to rest.
This evening, I went to a "graduation" for women in transitions, which is a program for women who are overcoming their obstacles, and changing their lives. One of my friends did it, and I am very proud of her. I watched her daughter, who is (coincidently?) named RUBY!!! and She got up and read a passage from the book Women Who Run With Wolves!!! (I didn't know before she got up there that she had chosen that work!)
Then we got back to her house, AND HER LAWYER CALLED!! (again, just some minor legal paperwork to finish up.) Do you see several patterns developing here???
SO, this is where I look to my sources, and find out what these repeated symbols mean.
Let's flash back to "Los Puercos de la Fuentes". Again we are seeing Pigs, and Fountains.
We see Legalities, (JUSTICE), Rubies, and Wolves!!!
Pigs: selfish, untrained.
Wolves: Pack animals, family, community.
Cunning, prey on the weak. Keeps
herds strong.
Justice:(tarot) Whatever is going on will be
dealt with in a fair manner. Watch
your assets. Libra.
Ruby: Healing Jewel for the Blood.
Visualizing the ruby in the heart,
moves one into selflessness.
July/LEO.
Fountain: Cleansing. Balancing. Chakras.

I think I could probably write a chapter on the interpretation of this day, and what has recently led up to this sort of "COINCIDENCE" EXTRAVAGANZA!!! However, to be fair to my faithful readership, pretend that instead of Being John Malkovich, you are being ME!
Here you gooooooooo.........
This tells me that we are moving from a place of selfishness (PIGS), to a place of community (WOLVES). That in order to make tis transition successfully, we need to prepare, and strengthen ourselves legally, and financially. That we need to take care of our hearts, both physically and emotionally, and cleanse our blood. (RUBY) This also says to me that by July we can expect to see results of the wheels that have been set in motion in this cycle. (Babboo is a Leo, and this pertains especially to him.) If all goes well, we will be harvesting from the Garden of Fountain by the end of September!!!
You Heard it Here FIRST!!!

Late Nite at Planet Nacho
Mood:  spacey
Now Playing: Masterpiece-Bob Dylan
Topic: Dish Bitch
For the people out there wondering why it gets harder and harder to get good service at their local restaurant: In the world of cost cutting, the bottom line depends on making sure that you can't squeeze another ounce of sweat out of the help. If the night is slower than expected, you are supposed to start letting servers go home early. In the summer, when it is light late, you often get a rush later. Usually about the time the server you let go early is pulling out of the parking lot!
The big cost cutting idea for this week is to try to run without a second bartender. So, knowing that I can kick some pretty serious ass behind the bar if neccessary, I went with ONE. Naturally, it got busy,because it was really sunny for the first day in weeks, and I got the joy of about three hours of solid dishwashing, making drinks, and kissing customer booty. "YES, I am aware that the salsa bar is empty, Salsa and chips are a priveledge NOT A RIGHT...GET OVER IT!" (I'm not bitter?)

Stranger Than Fiction
Mood:  incredulous
Now Playing: Uncle John's Band
Topic: Grateful Dead
The story of how the Greatful Dead changed their name from the Warlock has to do with the dictionary, and a set of folk tales. Apparently they were all kicking around and they opened the dictionary to "Greatful Dead". The stories have to do with a man who comes along a corpse that has been ignored, or mistreated. He takes over, and gives the man a decent burial. Soon he comes upon a man who befriends him, helps him acquire a fortune, and become very successful. When the identity of this friend is revealed, it is the ghost of the man whose remains he had taken care of.
Eventually, as the story unfolds, I will be able to share with you how this is happening right now in the strange and wonderful lives of me and my sweet baboo! Right now the details are still so in motion that it is not really possible to pick the right vantage point to tell it from, and what the outcome will be. Just know that it is the latest chapter in a long strange book!

When life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door...
I have tried unsuccessfully for about an hour to write about what is going on in this thick head of mine, but it's just too much.
What a day. I'll get back to you.

The Search for Intellegence
Mood:  spacey
Now Playing: Message in a Bottle-The Police
Topic: H2O
In the film "What the Bleep Do We Know?" they talk about an experiment that was done on water. They took distilled water, put it into test tubes, labeled each one with a different word, and left them overnight. They took photos of the water molecules in each tube the next day. The ones that were labeled with words like love, beauty, and hope...formed beautiful snowflake type crystals. The ones that were labeled with words like hate, anger, and sadness, were muddled and snotty looking. This was a demonstration of the power of suggestion. Remember, we are composed of more than 3/4 water. What happens to it, happens to US!
Water in it's liquid form happens within such a limited temperature range that it's a MIRACLE that it is around us so much that we can afford to take it for granted. We feel so solid, it is hard to believe that we are like giant sponges. At the beginning of our lives we are somewhere around 90% water, at our peak, we are in the 70% range-as we get older we get closer and closer to the 50% mark!!! The fact of the matter is-we are more like prunes than we like to admit! One of the things that ages us the fastest is DEHYDRATION! SO< get yourself a nice glass of water, tell it that you love it, and suck it up!!!

Mood:  incredulous
Now Playing: Suite Judy Blue Eyes-CS&N-LIVE
Topic: Who Knew
Hey Kid's
What's New?
I'll tell you,
Baboo's New Do!!!

For many years
He's grown his hair
Without a care
But now he's bare!!!

I didn't think,
I'd see the day,
Baboo would say,
It's going away!!!

But hair was here,
And now it's gone,
We carry on,
And I ramble on, and on, and on...

He gave it up,
They took his hair,
For kids to wear,
That have lost theirs!!!

A shiny crown,
For a noble deed,
To kids in need,
Indeed.

Stay tuned to this station for more updates, and photos...TBA.

Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: Time-Pink Floyd
It was just as I thought. One hour-late night, to tell us that we aren't going to have sonora beans, mud pie, or fajitas burritos. That there are changes to the fiesta platter, that we can still modify almost everything to be like it was before. Like I said earlier-I'd have been happy with just a memo, but then I wouldn't have had the excitement of getting to see all of my co-workers in their street clothes! OOH!

Uneventful=boring blog. Routine day-set up my official IDA account-6 mos. to triple my investment!!! The overlords of the little bull have decided to have a night time meeting tonite about the "new menu changes" That usually means we got rid of something people really like, and raised prices. We can't just read the memo? I'm sure I will have some bitterness to spew after having to interupt my creative hours to listen to a bunch of people bitch about how no one else does any work around there. Tune in later for my Aferhours entry.
