Updaytes

Two of my bet friends just returned from a summer in Europe!

I'm hanging out with a good friend of mine (while at work)!

And some... stuff is going on with my family. But... things will be okay. I'm going home to be with them soon.

Okay- that's 'nuff. Back to work.

postscript

why hasn't that sugar kicked in yet?!?

ha. I'm not losing my mind, I swear.

Yet.

Uhhh

I was in the library yesterday from 9am-9pm.

Today is another such day.

Oh, yeah--so is tomorrow.

And Friday's kind of looking like that, too.

It's a soda-at-breakfast kind of week.

Well, that's what I get for being such a slow researcher, ha.

No longer Bemidji-bound, still somewhat bound, burnt out but upward bound.

Wow. What a weekend. Staggering. My mind has since been a place of great churning. I had so much fun, but its after effects are going to be long-lasting. I'm always caught off guard by the events of my life. Someone shared a quote with me that has offered a great amount of resonance, though:

"Everything I encounter is my life." -Kosho Uchiyama

Is it just me, or is that quote an absolute mindf-ck? A total truth, a revelation.

This weekend was my life. What occured this weekend was my life. The implications of my actions this weekend are my life. This blog entry is my life. Everything I encounter is my life. I can't exactly explain what I mean or why this is so profound for me, but it is.

I'm kind of weary of the pace of the city. I'm already missing the intimate slowness of things.

My head is still spinning. There is something strongly resembling a knot residing in my stomach. It feels almost unshakable. I think I need to further my understanding about some things. Maybe I can learn to undo all the ties that bind by loosening this one.

I'm going on vacation... to Bemidji?!

Roadtrip to Bemidji commences... tomorrow! I can't wait!

I'll be back Sunday, so it isn't especially long, but I'm stoked. I'm going to visit one of my closest friends... 5+ hours in a manual transmission with no cruise control should be a real blast, but it will be entirely worth it.

See you when I get back!

long day

moments until my head hits the pillow. I haven't had a good night's sleep in so long. I can't wait.

wait.

what am I updating this thing for?! goodnight!
