world moves fast, I move slow.

I am writing this in the beautiful heat of the 5th of July. The majority of observations that scroll through my mind during any given day while I am earning my modest paycheck, will not make it to the blog. I fantasize that these thoughts are so insightful that they will somehow inspire others who aren't as lazy as I (me?) or more eloquent than me (I?) to change stuff.

There's plenty to talk about, and plenty to be pissed about, like the pardon of a convicted criminal and how it can just drain your hope that justice exists in the legal system. AND what we are being sold as news. I think the majority of people just watch the news thats put in front of them and just assume that that's the news and that it is being delivered honestly, accurately and in order of importance. That is very sad and should be on the news.

There's so much to rant about, but tonight I'm thankful that it's hot- I LOVE very hot weather especially at night, I'm thankful that I did not have to work yesterday and got to meet and hang out with new and wonderful people and eat really delicious food. I'm thankful that I also spent time with old and dear friends to end last night. I am thankful that I can and in fact am, kick back tonight flopping around in cool cotton shorts, with a nice roof over my head, with redwood trees outside my window,

It's cliche', but one should count one's blessings from time to time in order to keep ones head from pounding and swelling larger and redder and hotter until one or both eyes are on the verge of popping out of their sockets which will create quite a mess rendering your suicide notes illegible.

Sometimes you have to take vacations within your thoughts. For me this is key. I lay on my soft, soft cool leather couch with a Heath Bar Crunch Klondike Bar and just let all this good stuff in and let it swirl around. Waves of love and community and good-hearted people have been flooding my world and now are gently stumbling around in my mind all this makes for a good vacation Hi.

I am a lucky man, hope you are lucky too. If you haven't, add up the good stuff.

I'm glad "The man" can't take this away...even though he's probably working on a plan now down in my crawl space.

Don't forget Love, Luther Monday
