Ramblin' Deep Thoughts
Mood:
 a-ok
Now Playing: Ramble On-Led Zeppelin
Topic: Monday Musing
Someone close to me came up with the notion that he was seeking some form of "permanence" here and asked for my take on this situation that he has conjured up for himself. I put it this way- Permanence is a function of time, Time is an illusion of the mind, The mind is infinite, Within infinity lies possibilities, Possibilities are the stuff dreams are made of, Dreamers create their visions, Visions shape reality, Reality is relative to experience, Experience is growth, Growth is change, Change is impermanence, The more things change, The more they stay the same. The sand mandalas that are created by the Tibetan Monks are a lesson in creation. They are lovingly created from crushed gemstone sand, from patterns that are traced back to...They are born, they live, and then they are ceremoniously taken apart and the sand is spread with a prayer of peace into the nearest body of water, to flow into the sea, to share the love with the planet. Think about how lucky you are to have this moment here-and Breathe in the lifeforce of all there is.

No Rest For the Naked
Mood:
 special
Now Playing: Wild Horses-the Stones
Topic: Eve of Sag
The last couple of days have contained SO much activity that I should be exhausted, but I find myself on a very even keel, and with a nice steady flow of energy. Could it be that I am experiencing a balance of sorts? Is it possible for me to sustain it? Yah-sure-what fun would life be without it's ups and downs! I realize that some of you are checking up on the goings on at the "Hot Tamale" and I don't want to dissappoint my loyal subjects, but I had the last two days off, and I didn't really care if the place actually did sink into the floodplain!!! I did find out this morning that it did not, and did a brisk business in Brut (Cham-pag-nay) due to the "Civil War" game at Autzen (where the Ducks DAM-aged the Beavers 56-14). All of the hotels were booked solid and we fed a good portion of the fans from yonder. I can share with you that our resident extrovert was suffering from the (bottle) "flu", our mom-to-be is feeling a bit queasy, one of our long term low-riders will be standing in the unemployment line due to an unfortunate incident with the demon drink, and the quietest mouse of the waffle house came to pick up her check in fishnets, a mini and knee high heeled boots-WHO KNEW!!! (it's always the quiet ones-not that I know anything about that!) Christmas break is going to be uber-challenging to staff (glad I don't have to write schedules!) and I am sure that I will be working more than I expect to...that should make for some interesting rants...stay tuned!!! It's Hippie Monday again tomorrow-too bad we aren't allowed to wear our tye dyes and play some good ol' Grateful Dead...(I'll have to be content with the tape loop in my brain...) Go put in your favorite CD and twirl in your bare feet.

Now Playing: Substitute-the WHO
Been a busy week. Had to do two "shift Ho" shifts this week at the "Picadillo Pork-upine." Made it back into the ceramics classroom this morning to find out that the actual teacher is making HER way back to the classroom, and that the substitute will be looking for work elsewhere. I am interested to see if the same open door policy is extended to ME upon her return. I really get a charge out of the kids. I am going back tomorrow. (should be in bed right now!) Things have been pretty quiet on the western front. We're all thinking about Tofurkey Day, and I am preparing to pack my kiddos up to the city of "big shoulders"-It's My Kind of Town. Yes, a gracious gift from Abuela(?) Nonnie wings them away for a glorious Holiday getaway-and me and Baboo some ALONE TIME TOO!! WOO HOO!!! I've got the next two days free from the restraints of the restaurant and am aiming to finish a mandala that is becoming past due. Have you pampered yourself a little yet today? NOW would be a good time.

Chocolate Martini?
Mood:
 rushed
Now Playing: Brass in Pocket-The Pretenders
Topic: perchance to dream
Woke up with the kids but then decided to catch a couple more zzzzzzzzzzzzz's after I read the paper. I had to be at Ricardo's Shack O'Sangria for the lunch hour, but I had just enough time to have this dream...(here is where you picture the screen doing that dream sequence swirl like on scooby doo or something...) I am at a table talking to this group of three guys. They are cheerful, and we are exchanging "witty banter". One asks me for a chocolate martini, one orders a margarita, they give me their lunch order and I see that my clipboard that I carry my "mandala works in progress" on, is in front of one of the guys. I take it and I thank him for returning it to me (even though his intention had not been to return it...I just acted as if it were) and I go off to behind the bar to put their order in and make their drinks. I get back there and I realize that I can't find where I wrote their order down, and because I was so busy trying to figure out how I was going to make a chocolate martini, I couldn't recall their order from memory either! I start rifling through my mandala paperwork looking for their order, and I realize that the bar is filling up with people and I see a supervisor and a co-worker trying to help me to deal with it. I won't! I am determined to take care of my first table before I try to deal with anyone else! My supervisor is clearly irritated, and starts to take care of the patrons at the bar-meanwhile I am still spreading out mandala paperwork, and trying to concoct that martini (which I decided I could fake using vodka, kahlua and baileys-which I think is actually a mudslide-but WHATEVER!!!) Then as the frustration builds, I realize-HEY!!! This is a dream-stop it-WAKE UP!!! and I do, just in time to get ready for work! These types of dreams aren't unusual in the business. What I am interested in with this one is that it is the first time that MANDALAS were interfering with "Work" and not the other way around!!! Actually-I rarely have dreams involving both things at once-I see this as a distinct change in awareness, priority, and energy-Perhaps the tide is turning my direction...You know I'll keep you posted. P.S. Full Moon on Weds!!!

Now Playing: A Heartbeat is a Love Beat- Tony DeFranco
Topic: Is a Love Beat
Today is the birthdate of my dear old friend Aaron. He was born on Friday the 13th and he came into my life through some crazy twists of fate. He was a sheep in wolf's clothing, but he knew that I knew that he was a Friend of the Devil. We may be goin' to Hell in a bucket, Baby... Our first encounter revolved around a storm that leaves no trace, Marie Antionette, having her cake and eating it too, early morning April 4, and a cast of thousands. He is not the Messiah, he is a very naughty boy. There were U2 connections and I manifested a miracle that got us backstage passes, and VIP treatment from Bono himself. Through our friendship, I learned about unconditional love for my-self, and how important it is in order to be able to give unconditional love to others. I learned tai chi, and yoga, and Reiki. We ate, lived, and breathed energy work. We were taking it all in at light speed. Then came the moment I had to leave. For a while we kept in touch, but sometimes you just get too far apart. I guess I always thought we'd know where the other one was, but we haven't spoken in years. I do know that he still has a huge impact on who I am, and in my eyes he is Ida-the Lunar energy snake, on the heart side of the caudeuceus. I also know that he was instrumental in preparing me for what I am experiencing now...Thank you.

Now Playing: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road-Elton John
Topic: Open Sesame
It is Veteran's Day, and the eve of the birthday of my Grandfather-who happens to be a World War II veteran. He landed on the beach at Normandy-a small tank mechanic. He told me he was not heroic by any means. He said his strategy was "HIDE!!!" It obviously worked. Last month, the 11th revolved around connection with the divine. The master number-a link to God. It involved crossing over and unmistakable patterns. Today is 11-11 and the number that the date adds up to 11(2)+11(2)+2005(7)= 11. I got an email about this being an astrologically important portal which is going to allow more pure love energies into our vibrations and our DNA will align and allow our energies to become more purified! Doesn't it make you wonder who the people are who are able to just sit around and meditate on all of these things NON-STOP? The email identified this as energies from Mary and Gabriel-which are motherly love vibrations. (Remember Gabriel is the Angel that announced to Mary that "she was going to have the child of God.") Whether you believe any, or all of this is irrelevant. The fact that you just read it here makes you face a decision on whether you want to believe it or not. Let's just say you think about the prospect of more peace and love coming into our consciousnesses. Ask yourself, "what would that be like." I wonder how I would know if it were true. Would people all of a sudden start smiling at you at the grocery store? Would you all of a sudden be making more money, or at least paying your bills on time? Would the crew from Oprah come and give you a new house? Would there be things that you wouldn't do anymore? Things that you would do more of? Today I get to lay low and take care of my home, family and art. Ahhh-Bliss. I know that on days like these, I am radiating more love and joy into the community chi. Hope it rubs off. Have a good one!

Topic: NO-ADS
Well Kids, I have been floating along, utilizing the free tripod server, and having my cake and eating it too. I have been posting my musings, and random thoughts without regard to someone having to make a living off of people like me. Sure-they give you some disk space and make it easy to post your pics and things, then you get to the point that I am at, and you have to kick down $5 a month to get some more memory. Somehow it all seems so calculated. Oh-maybe because it is-it's called BUSINESS and it is not wrong to ask for what you are worth!!! People who want your service WILL PAY FOR IT!!! I'd rather live in the reality where so many people will visit my site, they will be paying me to keep it here...Tell all of your friends!!! RIGHT NOW!

Now Playing: Ripple-The Grateful Dead
Topic: Mayan Fun
I am having a lot of fun lately, and finding out that it is really beginning to have a ripple effect...I am becoming aware that I am having a positive effect on the world around me more often than not, and it makes me feel like creating more artwork!! I realize that everything is not perfect, that even though I do not have to worry about whether I will encounter a roadside bomb, or that I do not have to reconstruct my reality after a major natural disaster, I can make it easier for those who do by bringing positive energy to the things that I do each day. Today is "Hippie Monday" at the Kinky Cucina. Just me and two other food getters, one smiling people greeter, a food maker and a guy who spends an awful lot of Monday on the phone trying to keep the building from sinking into what was once FLOODPLAIN!!! Even though my "PERFECT" day does not really include having to make sure that people get their salad before their quesadilla, while I try not to forget the side of sour cream and extra chips and salsa for an entire cantina full of people, I will go there and perform my duty so that I can fill my pocket with cash and keep a roof over my head and food in the bellies of my boys...Whatever you are doing to get by-make the best of it! :) For those of you who have a minute to play-go to www.starroot.com and type in your birthdate to find out what your Mayan Birthpath number is (and totem). Thank you Mr and Mrs Random-(you can link to Mrs-Random at the bottom of my blogpage-SCROLLLLLLLL...). Have Fun!

Topic: Since DIRT
Today is my bestest friend on the whole planet(perhaps in the GALAXY!)'s BIRTHDAY!!! I didn't even have a moment where I had a chance to call her, or send her an e-card or nothin' due to my duties at the Mystic Mariachi. Boo Hoo. I suck. My birthday wish for her is that we find a rockin good reason to hang out together soon. I can always count on fun when we go camping together-right sister?! (teehee) Yes, we have grown older-and hopefully along the way, wiser. I can tell you that in the past we have gathered some legendary camping with boys stories. I have also heard "that girl is trouble " more than once. Camping with boys is what kept us from running away with the Dead when we were thirteen, and what made us follow them later on!!! I'm pretty happy with the boy that I've got right now, so maybe we should try something else that is less dangerous-like skydiving? Happy Birthday, Soul Sister ~G I LOVE YA. On a bit of a tangent from the birthday wishes, but along the lines of legendary camping with boys...It has come to my attention that this space is being monitored by an alumni of Del Taco de los Muertos as a way of keeping abreast of developments as the Taco Turns. This fellow co-worker helped make my first camping with Baboo trip a most enjoyable excursion. We went to Curious George, Washington-to play Dead, and lived it up. He and our chauffer had to endure an ungodly amount of giggling, and some pretty cramped accomodations, but navigated the way with a smile. Hey Now-Old Friend~you know who you are. HI ;)

The Story Unfolds
Mood:
 amorous
Now Playing: UofO-vs-CAL- Go DUCKS!!!
Topic: Blustery Day
Son Jr. is at his first DUCK game with his girlfriend's family. Son No. 1 is at his friend Cracker's. Baboo is Nappin' and Tyrone is content with his bone. Kitchen is at bay, email is read, laundry is in motion, living room is vacuumed. This is my version of Heaven. Seems like quite a few things are coming to a head all over the place. I have been fielding questions from friends and aquaintances about what the next move might be. It is occuring all over the place and in a lot of different areas of life. My own personal feeling is that of unfolding layers. I get the feeling of those little folded paper games that we played on the playground. I pick a color-Purple-"P-U-R-P-L-E". Then another-"G-R-E-E-N"-then a number-3-"1-2-3"-"You will marry a monkey." This game will unfold-as each of the steps are followed, and the answer will come at the end. How you answer each question determines the outcome. Give it your best-and don't be afraid-the universe has a great sense of humor so that you can learn to laugh at yourself. See if you can beat it to the Punch-line. (What have they spiked it with this time?) Love Potion #9.
