Thoughts I Thunk

Stop labeling yourself.  When something happens, let it, let it pass, let go of it.  When everything changes it is your opportunity to reinvent your world better.

I delight in wondering.
I delight in wandering.
I delight in curiosity.

Wanted dead or alive:  Adventure, a life lived to the fullest on my edge.  My edge is a moving target.  It recedes each time I step over it.  

Let it be strange.  Let it be wonderful.  Let it be epic.

 Odds and Ends

Think like a freak - is an inspiring book title...at least for me.  hahahaha

I saw this on a shirt:  "Unfuck the world"

A week late, but here it is, the latest edition of Shiny Rocks.

Quotes

Peace in the brain. It is a very good thing. ~ Joanna DeVoe The KICKASS WITCH : Putting The "K" In Magick
The greenest building is the one that is already built. ~ Adaptive Reuse

 Web sites

For $5 a month E-junkie will help you sell your stuff.  
Do you have expertise to sell?  Clarify will help you do that.
Web We Want is a global movement to defend, claim and change the future of the Web.  Connect, share and take action with others to build the Web we want.

Thoughts I thunk

Escape the cult of average.

Change the lens and change reality.
 
The magic sword of truth.
The odd thing is we all seem to have our own truth.

People have made a lot of rules.  Rules aren't bad.  They help in a lot of cases.  But life isn't about rules.  Learn and teach critical thinking and what is right in a situation becomes easier to find.

Relax, take a deep breath.  Get ready.  It's going to change.

Interesting idea

Positive Psychology  Positive psychologists seek "to find and nurture genius and talent" and "to make normal life more fulfilling", rather than merely treating mental illness. Positive psychology is primarily concerned with using the psychological theory, research and intervention techniques to understand the positive, adaptive, creative and emotionally fulfilling aspects of human behavior.

Blog Notes

Posted on 7:41 PM by jr cline | 0 comments

It's hard to find time to blog these days.  The river of life is flowing fast and there is so much going on.  Many changes every day. 
People are looking at my house.  Someone will buy it soon.  Then I'll be homeless. Where will I stay?  Yikes!!!
  
There is still too much stuff in the house and shop building.    There is so much to do to make the house more appealing to buyers! Painting! Weeding! Mowing! Hauling things away!   I have hired some help. Can't hire help much though.  It's costly.   YIKES!

I've rented a storage space for my son's stuff and for the few things I'm taking with me in the RV. I'll be moving some things to storage this weekend.  I have things that belong to other people.  I need to get those where they belong. Yikes!!!!!
 
Speaking of RVs, I need to purchase one.  Yikes!!!! 

I've turned in all the necessary paper work to retire.  One month left and I'll be unemployed.   My office at work still needs more cleaning out.  The last semester at work is coming to an end.   Lots of testing and grading and reporting to do.  Yikes!!!!!!
   
More to do:
Get electronic billing and paying set up and working.
Pay off as many things as I can.
Pack
Deal with Einstein
Go to the doctor and figure out my meds
Call the insurance company and figure out my meds and coverage
Have things turned off and canceled
Forward mail to where?
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All these Yikes!!!!! require some relief so I'm going to NOLA with Christy and Jesse in May.  I need a break.
 
This is a very busy, exciting, and scary time in my life.  w00t! w00t! It is filled with mixed feelings, beginnings and endings, and goodbyes with no hellos.  Going on adventure and saying goodbye to places and people for what may very well be the last time is a bitter yet sweet experience.

Entertainment

I've watched more TV than I usually do.  I found a few shows I could recommend.
Life has a Zen feel to it.
Touch I can't explain, you just have to watch this.  I give it five stars.
Mr. Nobody is an interesting look at time and multiverses.  I don't believe in time but I do believe in multiverses.

Websites

Lonely Blogs is a site where you can promote your blog if you're into that.  From their site: "We made this website in order to support bloggers from all over the world and the blogger community. It works by reading RSS or Atom feeds that users provide and then links to the newest posts on user's blogs."
 
StoreDot works with biological self-assembling, non-toxic, organic-based materials.The website is definitely worth a visit.
   
Goodpeoplebrewing.com is located in Birmingham, Alabama. That is about an hour from where I stay.  BeerAdvocate, a leading voice in the beer community, says the four highest-rated beers in the South are Good People Brewing beers.

Want the best price when traveling? Tingo.com says, "If you book a Price Drop room and the rate drops, we'll refund the difference to your credit card, automatically."

Song Freedom is a site where you can license 'good' music for your videos (if you need it).  

Things I Thought

Sometimes I want to tell people to "Walk away while you can."

You have the power to imagine and create a better world.
 
We imprison ourselves.
 
Are we weak enough and strong enough to love and be loved? 

There are infinite ways to communicate yet many still struggle to communicate basic things:  I want.  I need.  I love.

The Shiny Song

The tiger and the monkey and the elephant all asked  for you

 

NOLA

We are heading to New Orleans in May and I maybe going again in June or July.  It's hard to tell about the second trip.  My life is in flux. Anyway, I thought I'd post a few New Orleans pictures to get us in the mood.

 Jesse loves New Orleans
    

Street photography is my favorite and New Orleans is a great place to practice.

Now
Things
Events
A man with a broken heart passed through this now grasping and clinging to things that no longer existed.
The Spawn of Satan came by to chat.  She is a very pleasant woman.  It's no surprise she is his mistress as well.

Now
Energy
Change.
Actions 
Meetings
Signing
Banks
Businesses
Documents
People
Forms
Choices
Changes
The now of beginnings and endings and beginnings and endings and beginnings and......
Each nanosecond, different from the last.
Grow
Adapt
Change
Move on
Next
Every time I blink my eyes the world shifts beneath my feet.
Walking in faith
NOW
It's the only way to fly.
318
WOW
A coffee shop
and more
NOW
The pace of change quickens.
It's all I get.
We collide

Little birds told me

Shiny Rocks V.4

Posted on 6:49 PM by jr cline | 0 comments



One of my favorite books is Be Here Now by Baba Ram Dass.  Yogi Pondurengedas gave me a copy when I visited him in Berkeley a long time ago.  This is one of the gems that will go with me on the road.

Things I thought

The Universe is a masterpiece of love, help, and karma.  It does not strain to do what it does.  We are part of the universe.  Why do we strain?
I choose to live in possibility.
I choose to live in joy.
I choose to live in love.
I choose to live in peace.
I'm not fighting against anything. 
I refuse to focus on what I do not want.

Do you have a complex relationship with your past? I can if I allow myself to over think it.  My  mind is a powerful tool when used correctly. When it is left to run wild it can be a powerful enemy.

Thoughts on Chaos Theory
I can (and should) willingly leave my comfort zone or I can wait for chaos to push me out. Either way, I won't be allowed to stay there.

Quotes

"Declare your superpowers!" ~ Danielle LaPorte
 
Some losers "...seek to evade reality by hiding behind a crusade seeking to reinstate "moral values", "noble ideas", and "social justice"." ~ Dr. W. M. Shelton
