Cobra sceptorrrrrr.





I feel like right now is on the verge of explosion.
Everything I have interacted with has been catalystic in one way or another.
Something is definitely about to happen.
I've come to this level of mental clarity,
like I understand where I need to be right now.
The issue now, is preparing.

Nothing's Gonna Change My World

The new year has brought in much more change than expected. I tend not to buy into the whole "Wiping away the past; this year I'm working off my fat ass!" idea but with this new year (more than ever)I have done, and am continuing, some major life rennovations.

Most importantly, I've reached some really striking conclusions. I would go so far as to call them epiphanies! I won't call the other things resolutions although you might. "Resolution" is much too cold and, well ,resolute! Let's call them "Positive Tasks". Oh yeaaaahhh, that sounds good.

1) I have developed an accute sense of understanding a persons character quite quickly. After being around someone for a short period of time, I can generally tell whether they will be a positive influence on my life or non. However, now is the time to put this super power into action. Quite recently my feigned naivete has set me on my heine as I decided to give some people a chance that I knew were not exuding positive energy. This will be no longer. These recent events have also caused me to see beautiful light in alot of people and that is the only kind of energy I will allow in the future.


2) While I have never considered my mind or body completely unhealthy, I feel that I have neglected to treat my (collective) body as the temple that it truly is. This references to point number one, as only allowing positivity in my general vicinity will clean out a majority of the scum in my mental grout! Physically, I will regain the connection between the mind and body that I used to have so strongly. I will listen to my physical self, and only do/eat/drink/smoke/play with/ things that support my well being. If it is not a positive action for my phsyical or mental self, it will not be done. Positive actions include: Long conversations,being outside, physical exercise, mental exercise, earth foods, doing things for mother earth, practicing the art of love.



3)Now we arrive at one word: Superfluous.

I will no longer indulge in things that are such. There will be no superfluous purchases, intoxication, chatter etc. I will still indulge in these things but not to the extent that qualifies this word. I know quite well when this level is reached and my responsibility is to stop (whatever it may be) before it is reached. Included in this idea is definitely reducing my consumption and waste production!


The following points are those tasks we discussed!

Task 1) Get a compost heap started at Western. I have pals with connections and similar interests. I eat far too many bananas for this to remain un-done.

Task 2) Research and campaign for removal of styrofoam containers in Western food service. I can never carry out because I refuse the thousand year death foam! There are a couple really great companies that offer compostable food containers. One such company is http://www.ecoproducts.com/. Must find beneficiary with lots of moolah to spend on good will!
I've had a really good time pulling from my mind's file cabinets and putting these notions into words. I'm incredibly excited about the way things are looking even if it took some shocking and sometimes painful events to get me here. So it goes, eh?
I'm totally convinced this life is beautiful.
