Henry Miller is the revelator
If now and then we encounter pages that explode, pages that wound and sear, that wring groans and tears and curses, know that they come from a man with his back up, a man whose only defenses left are his words and his words are always stronger than the lying, crushing weight of the world, stronger than all the racks and wheels which the cowardly ( Read more... ) -
Mark Osborne's More, again
Here is my favorite short film: More by Mark Osborne.
I posted it before, but only as a link to a low-quality version that couldn't be scaled larger. This is a higher quality version, and can be watched in fullscreen.
Early this morning I ran 6 km. Mostly at an easy pace (45%), with occasional spurts ( Read more... )

My head is empty; my heart is full.
4.25 km. Pace 40% to 80%.
The weird thing about running at 4:00 in the morning is encountering other people who are awake. Rare.
I should have ran more this week. But the rest of my week was very satisfying.
I'm naked in bed. The birds are chirping outside. My head is empty; my heart is full.

The spring thaw 2010, pt. 3
Short, intense run, with variations in pace (roughly 60% to 80%). Ran 1.6 km.
Must run more.
1.6 km is actually 1 mile. I have thought about training myself to run a 4-minute mile.

The spring thaw 2010, pt. 2: Fuck it!
I decided to run tonight. Why? Because, "Fuck it!", that's why.
Actually, there was no need to wait until Friday. I wasn't sore from last night.
Ran 4.3 km.
Spring is good.

Rebuilding my music library
I lost my digital music library last month, which was over 26,000 songs. I've been rebuilding since the new year. So far, I've regained about 3,800 of my old songs and 700 new ones. Just another 22,000 to go. At my current pace, almost all of it will be replaced in 7-8 weeks. But it will probably take longer ( Read more... ) -
Gamble everything for love
Gamble everything for love,
if you're a true human being.
If not, leave
this gathering.
Half-heartedness doesn't reach
into majesty. You set out
to find God, but then you keep
stopping for long periods
at mean-spirited roadhouses.

Apparently I am transfixed by light.
Good things about winter:
- climbing under 20 lbs. of blankets on a cold night
- digging out clothes I haven't worn for a while
- the first snow
- going out while wearing layers and layers of clothing and not feeling a chill
- the crunch of snow under my feet
