Sunday, February 28, 2010 ( 2:44 PM ) shut up christine reasoning with unreasonable men to loralei: my dad thinks the reason i'm not catholic anymore is because you and i went to a "retreat" in SD, and saw a chinese person get his back whipped?!?!? i told him he must be confusing me with someone else, because i have no idea what he's talking about. he says i'm so brainwashed that i can't remember. its like a witch trial in here, i think it started because i'm wearing black nail polish right now. save me well i can't claim that he doesn't have faith. he has so much faith, it's blinding. he strongly believes what he believes, even if he has to make-believe all i have to say is do it if it makes you happy # Saturday, February 27, 2010 ( 1:25 PM ) shut up christine  For most of us, the first thing we must do is to work -- to have a roof over our head, bread in our mouth, fire in our chimney -- for ourselves and for those who are dependent on us. Work chosen and loved by a few, accepted and hated by most. Then there is the joy we give to those we love, those who love us. Joy and happiness given unreservedly, graciously, with a smile. Gift of our time, strength, resignation, health, concentration, sleep, money, abnegation, calm -- received with or without gratitude. There is that part of our life which we give to the world -- to show our gratitude of having had the privilege of being in this world -- the part we leave ... to others. It may be a painting, a sonata, a hospital, a vaccine defying death, a law improving justice, writings opening the minds of some, actions and words bringing comfort to others. Then there is the part which we give to ourselves, to develop the potential talents received at birth, or to give us the joy and serenity we need -- for ourselves or to share with others. It may be music, philosophy, ballet dancing or mathematics, and reading, gardening, walking in forest or dreaming on the beaches. But what portion of our time, strength and love must we give to each of these? --Nicole Grasset, at the age of 20 (Nicole passed away at the age of 79, after having led a team of doctors to eradicate smallpox in the world, having started Seva Foundation and served the world in many ways, small and big.) via iJourney # ( 12:50 AM ) shut up christine when i think of my reasons some of them are stupid. but, they are honest i want to learn how to crochet so i can make these. i want to bang out this spreadsheet so that i can file our taxes already. i need to finish my application. i have class. i want to do my workout DVD. there is a stack of great books under my bed waiting to be read. going through them is uber fulfilling. i want to try to get in a run every single day. i hate sacrificing this. i'm going to study and i will put in my earplugs and completely ignore you. don't take it personal. en serio, i don't need physical intimacy, no one can satisfy me better than myself. i want time to sit. service. i have work to do. i need sleep, too. when will i have time for you? # Friday, February 26, 2010 ( 1:07 AM ) shut up christine to sum it up this is how i feel right now this:  ......while tapdancing ............in cowboy boots ...............and eating black licorice translation: like a badass.

Unfortunately, when those fears come to the surface, you often blame the other person for causing them. You don't realize that it was your own inspired choice of partners -- driven by your need to grow beyond your fears -- that brought the material to the surface. If you don't find your way out of this trap, you often pull back from the relationship and recycle the fears in some other relationship. The conscious living (and loving) alternative: when your fears come up in relationships, take responsibility for them. Don't blame others for causing them. Instead, thank them for helping enlighten you, and ask for their support in helping you move through your fears to greater intimacy. from A Year of Living Consciously: 365 Daily Inspirations for Creating a Life of Passion and Purpose read this book if you can spare two minutes each day for a year. 99cents at half.com # Friday, February 19, 2010 ( 6:18 AM ) shut up christine i got you. i asked d about his goals & what he would like to accomplish in the next few years he hesitated before asking why do you want to know? you know why? i want to help you get there. ps how cute is this? sick. # Thursday, February 18, 2010 ( 1:22 AM ) shut up christine  How much more there is now to living! Instead of our drab slogging forth and back to the fishing boats, there’s reason to life! We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can be free! We can learn to fly! The trick, according to Chiang, was for Jonathan to stop seeing himself as trapped inside a limited body that had a forty-two inch wingspan and performance that could be plotted on a chart. The trick was to know that his true nature lived, as perfect as an unwritten number, everywhere at once across space and time. And he knew with practiced ease that he was not bone and feather but a perfect idea of freedom and flight, limited by nothing at all. Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly. from Jonathan Livingston Seagull # Tuesday, February 16, 2010 ( 2:05 PM ) shut up christine so true. we lack an emulsifying agent :( you and i are like oil and water we've been trying, trying, trying to mix it up we've been dancing on a volcano and we've been crying, crying, crying over blackened soles babe, this wouldn’t be the first time it will not be the last time there is no parasol that could shelter this weather i've been smiling with anchors on my shoulders and i’ve been dying, dying, dying to let them go We've been trying to believe everything would get better we've been lying to each other hey! babe! let's just call it, call it, call it what it is! oil and water. # Monday, February 15, 2010 ( 3:30 PM ) shut up christine i struggled with my runs last week, could barely do 3 milers. i hypothesize that running on an empty stomach gives me less energy (ya think?!) today i had a bowl of cereal an hour before, then knocked out 5 mi. drinking enough water probably helps too. duh. slowly learning how to listen to this body please be patient and don't give up on me, feet! this week's playlist: for the last mile (i pretend i'm in a gatorade commercial) yo C, you ready?
