i was sore last night so i ran 3 miles. i feel fine today, but i have been subsisting on about 5 hours of rocky sleep for the past three days. it wears on your mind if you let it.
i took 8 pages of notes today at work as i was instructed in the navigation of our database, Solomon. I ate two hamburgers and some chicken nuggets for lunch and was still hungry by 3:30. i like my job because, at least right now while i'm having protocol and data crammed into my brain, it taxes me both physically and mentally. in my experience taxing only one will lead to weakness in the unused ability. not always weakness ... more like unused energy that builds up negative, distracting pressure and demands attention. not to be crude, but its like taking a dump every 15 minutes and never pissing.
it has occurred recurringly (tongue-twister) to me that without sex and desire and envy, without our violent animal selves, there would be no fire in which to forge our wills. blah blah. i'm tired of writing now. i'll pontificate some other time.
