Ah ah ah ah ah
Big Note: I WANT TO GO TO THE CURIOSA FESTIVAL IN AUGUST: The Cure, The Rapture, Muse, and others that I really can't think of without having the cutout in front of me.. I WANNA GO... but I think I'm the only one.....
I went to Barnes and Noble on a quest to find things about juice fasting more to do research since I couldn't find shit on the internet. I've been looking up natural detox and stuff because I feel so sluggish.
Well... I wandered in and found the Sale Shelves. I got the book 28 Day Plan and I really am looking forward to trying things. Inside it are sections on Detox, Energize, Cellulite Buster, Get Fit for the Beach, Flat Stomach, and Buns and Abs. Each has explanations and exercise/eating tips, guidelines, and ways to maintain after 28 days have passed. I read about half the book while I was at barnes and noble and so far I really like it. It's natural and not a diet.. just a way to maintain a healthy body.
I also got pilates exercise cards and a book called Something More. It's a book by a woman for women. It grabbed me. I like. It will probably take me a while to read cuz I don't set aside much time to do so. But, yes, I am excited. It's basically saying that this is your life, relax, enjoy it. There's no need to hurry to go through school, compete to find a job, work and work to get more and more money to buy things to satisfy your need for MORE. Sit back and just enjoy life, no need to be constantly unhappy trying to get something more that you really don't NEED. If it is so, relationships will happen, family will happen. It went with this short story I found the other day called the Mexican and the American. The kjist of it was that what the American is striving for (retirement and life with no worries) the mexican already has. Granted, the American grows wealthy through his life to get to where the mexican is.. and the Mexican is humble and poor but always happy. He has time to do what he wants and he makes what is needed.. spends time with those he loves every day.. and loves life. The american is hards and cold and hungry for something he things is unattainable unless money and whatnot is involved. You can find it here: http://www.noogenesis.com/pineapple/fisherman.html
There were so many interesting books on the sale rack. I would've like to have spent the whole day there. I snooped mainly around the health and religion sections since they're side-by-side and the religion section really caught my interest. It had a lot of Zen-related books.. and I picked a book up about the world's religions. It only focused on the variations of christianity and then on eastern religions like buddhism. Needless to say, it let me down. I have this strange facination with finding out about different cultures and religions that are more off the beaten track. It's interesting to me.
I like believing in things that are tangible, I guess... and I suppose I could be thought of as a pagan.. my dad always jokes that the two of us are, but I dunno. I want to have a simple life, life in constant awe of nature and its beauty, and strength, and always at it's mercy. I mean, nature is so huge and great.. I don't think it should be overlooked and I feel that, with Christianity, it is. That just.. bothers me. It's like something isn't right, it can't be.
Not to say I don't believe in god.. I do.. I believe there is something greater than myself and the human race out there.. but I do not believe that this something is human or should be referred to as being human or a being in general.
If I have time this week, I am gonna head back over there and spend hours just enlightening myself..
I'm done with my random tangent. :)
