So I had my first ever yoga class today up in Aspen and let me tell you  just how freakin' joygasmic it was...

It was about twenty of us in this small room, with heaters going (yes, we sweat), music, the lights low, candles and inscense burning and an hour and half of breathing, moving and living...

I can't believe I did the class because it was one ( Read more... )

The green of summer continually amazes me ( Read more... )

Because it's necessary... and oh, so good!

You’ve been watching over me
Saying you’re keeping me company
I should be grateful, I suppose
And compare you to a summer’s rose

You’ve been talking sweet to me
About peace and loving harmony
But I know what you say about me
So now I tell you cause I gotta break ( Read more... )

Ever taken a whole handleful of jelly beans and shoved them in your mouth at the same time?  I can say it's nothing short of orgasmic.  Although...that was just a hint of black licorice and that's not acceptable...  :-)

Well I'm done with my first two weeks of summer work at the office.  It's good to be back.  Last weekend was graduation at the high ( Read more... )

I put on my favorite radio station, 100.1 KSPN.  The sliding door is open to invite in the fresh 65 degree Colorado air.  My mountains still stand steadfast with their blankets of melting snow just across the valley.  My dog is curled at my feet.  The green is bursting from the hillsides and I've already been in contact with old friends.  Hiking, ( Read more... )

You and me baby, just another drive down the 101.  The gibbous moon's plump outline stalling low and drunk above the highest tower of the downtown streets.  We could go, you know.  Just you and I.  Take a running start, use the building for one last push and fly.  Fly right on up and land on the dark side of that lost, lonely world.  Let's go ( Read more... )

If there's one thing that I've learned from astronomy, it's the utter massiveness of the universe.  So massive, its calcuability is beyond our mere human comprehension.  We are incalcuably insignificant.  Pessimistic if you want it to be, but it just shows why we put so much meaning into our lives.  Our society is only reacting to its own ignorance ( Read more... )

I can feel it coming on...  one of those moods where I just don't know where to stand, what cue to take, who I am or where I'm going.  How predictable my person has become.  I am so easily read by myself that it begs the question, "By now, why am I not able to alter these moods when I feel them coming on?"

Summer's here.  It's already flowing ( Read more... )

Gah!  It's that time of the year and I'm about to explode...  Between final projects, paper revisions, midterms two weeks before finals, STUPID roommate, jobs for next year, jobs for this year, juggle, juggle, juggle, I'm going crazy.  And it's funny because we have been discussing what it means to be crazy in my Exploring Culture Through Film ( Read more... )
