The Grammys are done and now the parties begin. Why am I at work instead of there?

Good day, made a decision today that will seriously change my life in 60 days as far as work goes. Going home in a bit, getting stuff together then going to bed so I can go to the gym before work tomorrow.

I was hoping to get the February Zeitgeist newsletter done so it could go out tomorrow, but it looks like it may be a day or two late. Worst case scenario, I send it out Tuesday night, only 2 days late. Just had a hard time feeling Valentines like... I guess I need some romance in my life.

My latest tweet says it all...

LONG day at work, great workout at the gym, wonderful dinner and all I want is to go to sleep or get laid... LOL

Go guess what happened, I'm going to bed.

It's been a few days and things have been hectic. I have just been a bit negligent and there is no real reason. Just being lazy.

One thing about breaking a resolution, they only stay permanently broke if you want them to. It can always be reinstated and followed through on. So here we go with the second attempt.

Hey, I had to quit smoking three times before it stuck and I still have a craving every once in a while. Occasionally, I will get hit with a craving and see some hot guy smoking and I'm thinking I should french kiss him just to suck the smoke out of his lungs. Kinky and funny, but a touch strange...

Going to bed and getting ready for Grammy weekend...

Well, today has started off as a mixed bag of nuts...

I woke up and made myself an omelette (ham, feta and sauteed tomatoes -- GOOD) and after getting myself together to leave, somewhere I lost 15 minutes and didn't get to stop for coffee on the way... Wah!!!!

Once I got to work, I had a driver that has a reputation for being a bit whiny, we actually keep a pacifier in the desk for him, had some stupid issue and I lost it. As much as I felt terrible about losing it, in a way it was such a relief to get all the crap off my chest.

I'm sure I'm going to apologize for what happened, but I doubt that I will for what was said, it was true, just about as subtle as brick.

The rest of the day was fairly uneventful but long. We have a couple of events going on and tomorrow is going to be nasty. I'm kinda glad that I won't be there...

Two big meetings tomorrow, some Inspire U stuff in the morning and another in WeHo. I also have a training session in the evening at 17:50 so it is going to be a full day. It's also to start raining again, but just for the day.

A beautiful day today but it seems everyone is in a cranky or irritable mood today.

I feeling pretty good, just tired, probably from working late last night, getting to bed as fast as I could feed the kitties then up at 07:00 so I could go to the gym before work. The "bar" in the gym was closed so no protein fix after my workout. Well, I'll be going home soon and can go to bed early.

K wants to get together tomorrow evening and go over some things and we have that meeting in WeHo on Tuesday. Well at least he's driving in the rain Tuesday... he he he

I want to get some writing done tomorrow before work and I'm thinking since I have the time and some Feta, I might make myself an omelette for breakfast, mmm tasty!

5 Personal 12 Week Goals

I'm currently reading Body for Life which asks the following question:

What are the five most important, specific accomplishments you need to make, within the next 12 weeks, for you to be pleased with the progress of your body and life?

My answers in the form of affirmative statements are:

• Within 12 weeks, I will lose 25 pounds.
• Within 12 weeks, I will leave my current job at A*****.
• Within 12 weeks, I will fix Harry Honda.
• Within 12 weeks, I will go on at least six dates.
• Within 12 weeks, I will finish writing "10 Secrets to the Secret".

We finally have some dry weather and it is cold as a witches tit at night, but NO RAIN for a few days then only a day possibly on Tuesday and maybe some more next Saturday.

Thank God, today is supposed to be the last of the rain for a while. I am SO tired of being wet and cold all the time. Last night I had my 1^st in my seminar series and it was awesome, but getting home had it's share of issues... LOL Keep an eye on the Spiritgeek blog for an entry about Mother Nature/The Universe and a playful nature...

Life is constantly getting better and better, little steps or not, get ready for a dry chapter...

Oops, I had no idea it had been so many days since I have been online here and written... Pardon me.

I have been working on the Spiritgeek blog for a few days and I'm also working on the February issue of the Zeitgeist newsletter and that's turning out to be involved. I'm debating on the usual Valentine's Day subject or something better.

Still raining in LA and tomorrow is supposed to be the last day, hope springs eternal.

I start my 10 session seminar series at Landmark tonight and it has stopped raining enough that I might make it there dry. Just got a ride from one of the drivers -- no bus tonight!!!!

Well, I managed to survive day 1 of the rain in Los Angeles, 4 more days to go with Thursday being the worst of the storms. LA gets weather, who would have guessed...

Had a mellow day at work and it was nice... The days after an event are over are when everyone takes a chill pill and all the crap of the last few days blows over. Events, award shows in particular can be REAL stressful; how much is deserved and how much is just the way people do things is another question.

I was up late last night due to the Golden Globes, so I decided not to get up as usual and go to the gym before work and I figured I'm off tomorrow so I went after work. I don't know why, but I'm finding that the free-weights workout stuff is SERIOUSLY making me enjoy going to the gym more. Steve and I had talked about adding them maybe one night a week, but I wanted to do it again.

I feel SO good about myself and it seems to be making headway in my transformations of my body. I physically feel great and, to be honest, it seems to make me AMAZINGLY horny... LOL

As much as I have enjoyed the physical benefits of my diet and exercise regime, it has also been enhancing my meditations and some of my writing. "10 Secrets to the Secret" is going to get major attention tomorrow and I may have the first section ready to go to the editor shortly. Now if I can just handle the corrections... ;-P

Going to feed the kitties and crash, I have my regular breakfast meeting tomorrow morning and I want to get in some meditation in before I go. I wouldn't mind getting in a good hour before I have to go.

Life truly is awesome, the bumps are not so bad when they get put into proper perspective.

I will be so glad when the award show season is over, Los Angeles becomes such a bunch of morons when it comes to thinking things through and the egos EXPLODE!

Went to the gym after work and had an amazing workout. I ran into my friend Steve who once promised to give me some tips and help me add some free-weights to my workout. Today ended up being the day and he showed me some great stuff and I apparently did pretty well as he seemed to be reasonably impressed. cool!

Afterwards, I went to grab something for dinner and immediately after taking the first byte, it turned into a great white having a feeding frenzy, ack! Good thing I made it a high-protein meal...

While I was on the elliptical, I kept hearing the voice of my crack dealer, not the illegal one, but my brittle mistress. I hope all is well.

I've got a couple of errands to do then I'm going to bed, I might feed the cats first... It will keep me from bleeding... ;-)

Good day, went REALLY fast and I did a quick computer job while I was at work. COOL!!!!

Going to run home and crash immediately, I have to be back @ 07:00 tomorrow morning. Good thing that I get off at 19:00 tonight and not 23:30 as I used to.

My new affirmation for the day has been: "Money is attracted to me like a lover, it cannot stay away from me." Cool and has had me in a great mood all day.

I never did get a chance to eat my salad I brought for dinner, oops, guess I'll just have top eat it tomorrow, but I get off work @ 15:30 so I might save it for Sunday instead... We'll see.

Night!

I have been so busy with the latest blog entry, I've written 3 versions and hate all 3. It's crazy personal and if I'm not careful, likely to come back and bite me in the ass. I'm trying to rewrite it again and make it a bit more general, not quite so personal, that will help a bit I think.

They say that the weather is supposed to change Sunday evening and rain anywhere from 6 to 20 inches over the next week, fun biking!!!

Well, off to bed and back to it tomorrow.

It's been a good day, a little rain this morning, some work on catching up the blogs and "10 Secrets to the Secret" along with some Babylon 5 for entertainment.

Yesterday, I went shopping around Santa Monica and stopped by Thunderbolt Spiritual Books, I haven't been in there for a while, I had forgotten how nice it is. While I was there I stumbled across a CD called "Theta Transport" by Tommy Brunjes. It reminds me of Dick Sutphen's "Alpha & Theta Waves" and "Hypnotic OM" disks except the music is better...

K & R came over last night and we had a little party, a little Brandy and too much गांजा. K & R meant it as a joke but they hit a raw nerve and one of my greatest fears. I'm going to write a blog entry about it shortly, but in some ways, I have NEVER been so scared, not in what they did but in what I sometimes see and fear for the future. Sounds stupid, but it's something I have been seeing in dreams since I was a kid and I don't want it to happen, I want to find a way to avoid it.

Well, I need to pack my gym stuff for tomorrow as well as make a sandwich for lunch, the cats would like their box cleaned and then I'm going to bed. I will be able to read before I turn the lights out, that will be nice.

Gorgeous day today, mid-70's and lightly cloudy and just absolutely fabulous!!!

I'm having a great day and it is my Friday so in a few short hours, four if I stay till the end, I'm out of here for two days. (I'm finishing this entry later) I left early and had a lovely dinner.

The day did get a little odder as it went on. One of the guys I worked with intorduced me to some YouTube videos where they take Music Videos and dub them with new lyrics talking about the video, here's one for example; Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield". One of the ones I stumbled across was Billy Idol doing "Dancing With Myself" and when I went home, I picked an episode of "Glee" from the DVR to watch and it had the same song being performed. There were several little incidences of coincidence that happened through the day.

I went to the gym this morning and I think I may have overdone things a bit as I've been sore all day, but it's good

It's a beautiful day in SoCal, mid 70's and didn't even need my jacket on the ride to work this morning. A pretty mellow day at work and having a good time overall.

I have been doing some self-medication that has involved large quantities of food, particularly late at night after I get home from work. That usually means I'm either smoking the गांजा too much or I am depressed. I have been kind of avoiding the गांजा for two reasons; 1) most of the stuff out there now days is WAY to strong for my taste (read: 1 hit and I'm a zombie for the evening) and 2) I'm having enough allergy issues with my throat without trashing it out more with smoking.

I've been in a bit of a funk lately, but I don't think of it as depression. Just glad the holidays are over and a new year of possibilities is upon us and I'm hoping for a better year than last.

I knew it was going to be slow today, so I was planning on working on the "10 Secrets to the Secret" but wouldn't you know, I left the drive sitting next to the laptop in the living room. Let's hope the cats don't find it and turn it into a toy to be lost for eternity.

As soon as I finish this entry, I think I'll try to either get a head-start on the February Zeitgeist Newsletter or I'll work on a regular blog entry.

Ran across this today and HAD to add it so I can find it again. I've loved "Adagio for Strings" since I first heard it in "Platoon" and DJ Tiesto does an excellent version.

One of those days at work. Like most jobs, dispatching usually breaks down into one of two types of days, busy or dead. Today ended up being pretty kick back for the most part and just had one thing after another all day until the crescendo that is going to get a driver bar-b-qued!

I'm not planning on doing anything particularly drastic, something simple, honey-tomato glaze and some mild seasoning to taste. The guest of honor (read main course) is a little scrawny so place your orders early.

Did a computer job last night and went back to finish it this morning, everything went well, I swear I could make a very good living following the client's grandson and fixing the viruses that he gets every time he visits...

Note to self, when you go to the gym on Saturday, you cannot go early since the gym doesn't open until 8 AM. Had a "blast" sitting in front for 30 minutes this morning, but I did get to do some reading.

I'm tired and getting ready for bed, after I do the cat box, they will be happy...

Yesterday was a complete blast at work, the BCS game made work a lot of fun. And before you ask, I don't care who played or won.

Kinda draggy all day and I have to stop by a driver's house and fix his wife's computer. I really wish they would keep the grandson off, I get to do a virus hunt after nearly every visit. Grampa is going to kill him sooner or later...

My allergies are finally taking a chill, I didn't take anything today and my nose is nearly back to normal.

Tried to get some writing done today, no luck, but tomorrow has promise... Going to the gym before work then if it is slow enough I can try to write during work, tough but can be done.

Getting out of here in less than 10 minutes so I'll make this short. L8r

Good day today, slept in a bit and ran a few errands. Finally made it to get the face cleanser I've been using, the other tube must have been a sample of something,as the other container is SO more than double the size.

Been kinda draggy, my sinuses are drying slowly but the throat is still a bit off. Fortunately I still have my voice or I would have a problem. Going to bed and going to do the gym tomorrow.

I feel like something is about to happen, I don't know what, but something seems a bit out of sorts. I'm curious to see what it is.

Need to finish the first 4 chapters of "10 Secrets to the Secret" so I can mail them off to be proofed. It's pretty tough to write a book. I've also had some ideas for "The Executioner's Confession" that should work well. I find my humor comes across with Rebecca more than the Secrets book. Working on that, but the people who have read the early stages seem to like it, maybe I'm just being to tough on myself.

Well yesterday ended with a bang. A friend called me at work and needed some one-on-one time and I was happy to help out...

Once again I got to have a face-to-face meeting with just how much we can persecute ourselves when there is no fault of our own. I also received a great lesson in what Landmark would call "Strong Suits" and "rackets".

I wanted to get some writing done so after my friend left this morning, I went for coffee and work on the laptop. I just finished part 2 of what was supposed to be a blurb, guess that plan is moot...

The blog entry (part 1) and (part 2)

The sinuses have mellowed for the most part, but still an issue and my voice sounds like Froggy from the Our Gang films.

Going to grab some dinner then either try to get some work on the book done or go to bed early to make up for last night. Of course I REALLY need to get laundry done tomorrow as well as get a haircut.

Good day overall!

Got home from work yesterday and was unconscious before I knew what hit me. I fell asleep before the 2^nd story made it on TMZ, that's tired.

It has been a beautiful day today, the temps have been in the 70's and there has been a light breeze blowing and you would never know that it was January, not even in LA. The only problem with it is that a mild Santa Ana condition is carrying dust or pollen and my sinuses have been running a marathon all day, well at least I know they are working.

I'm a huge fan of neti-pots and mine has been working double shifts in an attempt to cut the sneezing down, doing better but if I don't dry out soon you might want to invest in Kleenex stock.

I am looking forward to going to the gym in the morning, I may be a bit sore ofter, but over all I feel better for having gone and I am loving the improvements in the body. Not only have I lost 40 lbs but I am reshaping the body and for the first time in my life, I'm actually REALLY liking what I see when I look in a mirror.

Sue gave me a Rune reading after work and she didn't really tell me anything that I didn't already know. I had one flip on it's own while I was shuffling and she said it meant that I had been kind of stagnant, not regressing, but not moving forward either. Then she actually started a New Years reading...

When I pulled the actual 5 for my reading, basically she said (1) I am needing to prepare my weapons for my journey. (2) There are some programming, cultural and such that I need to become aware of and determine which to keep or to drop. (3) I have some old family (biological or not) issues that I need to deal with and get beyond, I am conflicted regarding this relationship. (4) I also need to either deal with some side projects/distractions, shit or get off the pot. (5) The continuation of my path will require some patience as the fruiting will take about a year. Not bad, we'll see what comes in the new year.

Happy New Year...

I finished and sent out the newsletter, awesome!  Good newsletter and on time!

Decided to treat myself to breakfast over at Pepy's Galley and had the Greek Omelet.  Not sure what it is about that thing that I'm addicted to, but I suspect it's the feta cheese...

Getting ready to go to work and still have absolutely no idea where I'm going to get some coffee.  Every place that I've called has been closed, so it looks like I might be destined for Starbucks today, not great, but it will do.

Birdie and Bella and seem to be getting more comfortable at home.  Birdie likes it when I meditate and Bella likes it when I practice Reiki and other energy manipulations, how funny...  I'm beginning to see why cats have been called "familiars" for so long.

I'm not real big on making New Years Resolutions, but if I were to make one, it would be to pursue my spiritual side as the top priority.  It's in my practice and teaching that I truly find my joy and peace.
