Going Back in Time

I was talking with my work fellows last night how I would like to go back in time to when I was 17 and graduated from high school. How I would have done things so much differently than I had. Someone responded, "Yeah, I would have taken life more seriously" - and my response was, "Well, I would have taken it far more not seriously."

Maybe I would have actually headed to LA to live on the streets and coffee shops. I would have explored the world, been more adventurous. I would have avoided girlfriends, I would have forgotten about trying to find love, I would have not cared about being a father and a family, and I would have shrugged off responsibility.

Sounds sad, I know. But, I'd be happier I think. But, who knows...the grass is always greener, right?

Cheers.

Hoopla and Fizzniggits

Quick book update. I have finally finished the gruelling chapter of five. Goodness me, that was a rough spot to get through. But, now that I have done it, I feel the surge of creative juices beginning to flow again. Every time I write, Chapter 5 is always one of the most difficult chapters. It's like the turning point of the story or something for me, and it always tries to distract me from the book's main plot. Gotcha this time, punk.

In other news, I bought cable this weekend...That is right. For the first time in six and a half years, I am watching television again. Hardly even know what to say, but if that is not weird enough - get this. I watched the superbowl too! This will be the 2nd super bowl I have ever seen in my life. Really, I did not find it that exciting...it did pass the time however.

I found these audio tapes from the Monroe Institute that I have been listening to as well to help me fall deeper into this Paranormal stuff. I have not had any sort of sleep interruption since I started them, however. So, I am questioning their validity. Nevertheless, I do find myself awfully relaxed after listening to them which generally places me in a very positive mood. I have easily accomplished the Focus 10. The Focus 12 does not really detail what it is suppose to be, but I think that I am there as well. I know this does not make any sense if you have not done the tapes yourself, but apparently there is a large following. It essentially trains you to train your mind to experience different levels of consciousness and thus different realities. It is like being hypnotized or doing visualization exercises for relaxation.

Besides that, life is just going on. Two of my kids are in school every day. My youngest son is currently passed out next to me on the sofa, and is looking as adorable as ever. And, I am going to get rolling on Chapter 6 because all of my homework is complete.

Cheers.

Short Post

It is nice and brisk outside. I like it.

Today is my 3-year-old son's first day at preschool, which is actually at the regular school. This means he gets to ride the big bus all the way there, and then ride the short bus back home around 11:30 AM. Yeah, it's half days.

Nevertheless, I am excited for him and his new spiderman backpack - which he is overjoyed about. Pretty darn cute if you ask me. I hope his 6-year-old sister is a good role model for him on the bus.

But, that means that I get a few hours every morning with just my 2-year-old son. Hopefully, that means extra time to work on the book. But...we'll see.

Cheers.
