Oh yeah, I have a blog…

Wow so I haven’t writen anything here in forevers… My car is on the fritz right now otherwise I’d be at school.  I’ve basically given up trying to get to South Seattle by 5 pm since thats right……. NOW! 

Guess I should see about signing up for another class so that I can make up… Hmmm… I should at least watch Heroes tonight since I’ll be at home.  But I should make sure my car will start also so I’ll know I’ll be going to work tomorrow…  I should take my car in to have it fixed Wednsday after I get payed…  golfbagpoop.

Birthdays

So, my birthday came around again.  Its funny, I realized that I’m becoming one of those guys who doesn’t tell anyone that its their birthday but at the same time is secretly happy when people remember.  Hmmm… I suppose it just feels like another year has gone by and not a whole lot has changed.  Oh well, time for bed now…

I’m a loner Dottie, a rebel…

w00t, I’m going home to visit the family this weekend.  I haven’t been home in about 4 months?  pwsome.

I need to see if I can download my old “driving home” song before I leave…

Our Fears

   Acknowledging fear is not a cause of depression or discouragement.  Because we possess such fear, we also are potentially entitled to experience fearlessness.  True fearlessness is not the reduction of fear; but going beyond fear.  – Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chogyam Trungpa

   I like this idea of fearlessness being only something as simple as acknowledging and dealing with our fears rather than being able to have NO fears.  I don’t think there is a person in existence who has no fears.  We all fear things in life, it would be unnatural for us not to.  Dealing with it in the right ways and keeping a cool head is how we can be truly fearless.

   I think my skills at over-analyzing actually come to good use here because when you sit and think things through, and realize how trivial they are.  You can really begin to see what good we can bring ourselves and other people if we can make ourselves overcome them.

   On a different note, the book that I read this from is one awesome piece of writing.  I’ve been studying it for the past 2 or 3 months although I haven’t yet finished it.  Its not really even that long, I just end up going back and reading things over again because they really jumped out at me that much.

   I’m also going to make an effort to write in this blog more, hopefully daily.  And I want to try and quit going to myspace so much.. heheh.
