A mental stir necessitates
that your resounding fear just irrates
the rationale` of those who communicate
like fork and knife upon the plate,
carving through the meat of hate
in preparation for those who's mate
is not for us to stipulate
but who it is you shall just wait...

Sense the greatness

Some days you feel like you've really gotten somewhere.

I've had a whole week of those days.

It's alot to do with achieving goals, and I'm not really talking about the "hectic life-consuming variety" ie, that 15 year old Aussie girl thats solo-sailing around the world? I haven't heard about her on the news in weeks, I'm wondering if she hasn't given it all up?! See, striving for too much in one piece. Thats what it is. No the way to go about your goals is a little more formulised (is that a word?). It's just too tough reaching out for the highest attainable desire -regardless of how bad you want it right now: You want to lock in on goals not quite so grand as "man the first recreational flight in space", but certainly a whole lot more impacting then, "wake up, eat, feed dog and wash clothes" (which in fairness is still on my to-do list for tomorrow).

I've got some activity happening tomorrow with a little window cleaning work that I'm looking forward too and I'll be getting a new window screen for my treasured Barina (Opel) - there is a rather impressive crack creeping across from the passangers side to my driving side and I'm not at liberty to allow it to run free any longer! I expect to achieve these goals tomorrow so already I'm instore for some 'goal-getting goodness'. Plus Dr Pepper may be involved at some point too...

The key to developing some success with goals is creating the momentum: start with some real basic achievable goals (chew your mouthfuls of food at least 14 times), move onto one or two later that require just that little more effort (pass the ball a few more times instead of taking every shot you ball hog?!) and before you know it you will be ready to really get cracking into some big time goals (okay sailor girl, lets see you get around the world.... in a bath tub!?).

Keeping this process in mind will help you attain that standard of success and of greatness.

My first momentum infusing goal (and step to greatness no doubt) for now, is to end this post.

Success!
Greatness!

Today is a new day. The dawn of prosperity and wisdom. I am the latest member of a timeless band of workers and travelling minstrals alike. Inducted into a class of lowly yet respectable foot soldiers of the glass.

I am a window washer.

How to reinvent a wheel

29 and we've already hit a cross road. On closer inspection it's not even a new crossroads. I've been at this junction before, me thinks. It's been many weeks since I was last 'employed'. At first I found it refreshing and new. I was going to devote many hours to my aspiring novel, start a vegetable garden, excercise more. I sound like a retiree at this rate. Now I would settle in for a cup of coffee at 7.00 am and a hectic (I.T.) job, but part time hours please...

I applied for a job as a meteorologist last week, apparently though I needed a 'science degree', or something. In any event, now it's all on my shoulders. Do I start up that small "work from home" optical business I've always threatened of doing? Perhaps canvas every store within a 5 kilometre radius (I don't know what that is in miles, I do apologise) on bended knee, emphatically begging for a job, any job (bar fast food service)! It's an entirely quaint notion and it offers a sense of determination and a measure of self worth certainly! But whilst I can rise at any hour presently, pay little to no rent and watch 3 NBA games a week let's not rush and get too carried away shall we? After all, I am a budding novelist!

What is art? Firstly, what kind of question is that (other than being a 'view point')? If one ever concerns themselves with the notion that humanity has travelled many leagues, then one only needs to review the various answers to this query (or indulge the latest news report) and see we have not merely stumbled around the bedarkened and closed off privy, looking for a light or doorway, but that as civiliation but we have masterfully sat ourselves, fully clothed inside the cistern of our own stupidity and abhorrances.
What will art become in this system of things? Neither You nor I should want to know.
