To Dare
Often the hardest thing for me to do is put my nose to the grind stone and get things done. Recently I've been working on breaking that habbit. I did manage to finish a video for the 6/6/6 ritual at Sekhet-Maat Lodge. But do to the already mentioned problem it wasn't as good as I had envisioned it and I had to drive from Seattle to Portland and ( Read more... ) -
Duhhharana
I just had a total slap the forehead duhhh moment. For some reason I had assumed that the initial objects of concentration in Dharana had to be immagined and held there. Liber E says no such thing. While I'm sure there would be nothing wrong with holding ones attention on the immagination of these things, it's certainly adding unneccesary ( Read more... ) -
ages since an update
My last day of work as a canvasser was yesterday. Knocking on doors and talking to lots of people had its ups and downs. Obviously there were a few rude people. Probably the most disturbing thing was the wide ranging appathy I encountered. The majority of people realized the problem with health care and agreed a non-profit alternative would be ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
When you picture a peacful society do you see children playing together on a mountain of rubbel that is the bombed remains of their old home? Is a peacful country carved into three sections along ethnic lines and patrolled by batalions of "police" death squads? Should the flag of peace be unfolded spelling the word in english letters with a ( Read more... ) -
Moving
One of the bennefits of my new job is that I get paid for it (I know this is painfully obvious to some of you). So that means S and I can afford to move out of the studio breadbox we've been living in and into a bigger and better place. That's happening this weekend ( Read more... ) -
huh...?
I looked outside a minute ago to take a look at the sun, and lo and behold there was snow all over the ground. I guess it was hailing a bit last night while I was working. But I wasn't expecting to see a layer of white powder on everything when I woke up.
Brrrrrr, where's the coffee.... -
globalization...
With so many economists and politicians shouting the praises of globalization you'd think it was money that made the world go-round. But, it's not. The real earth mover is gravity, or more generally the laws of nature. But most economists and politicians are so blinded by individual, short term gain that they have completely lost track with ( Read more... ) -
President Who? (compassionate conservatives?)
This weekend I was down in Longview visiting my friend Scott, from Canada. I hadn't seen him for over a year since we went camping up in B.C. two summers ago. Also visiting him were my friends Barry and Sean. I used to play Dungeons and Dragons and Magic with these guys when I was in middle school and high school. It was fun to do that again ( Read more... ) -
Job!
Well it's not video work. But, my new job is a hell of a lot more stable. And to top it off it's doing something I can definately get behind, trying to get affordable healthcare for everyone in Washington. My new job is as a canvasser for Washington Citizen ActionApparently I've just conducted the quickest job search for Seattle out of anyone I ( Read more... )
