oh bleh

whoosh! whoa, what was that??

that? that was july, yo.

oh. whoops.

broken record warning-- here it comes--

so i always get these things in my head that i want to get down on paper or here on this blog or somewhere, and somehow they get lost in the netherspace between those moments and when i actually have a minute in front of my computer screen. and then... when i'm finally here, i've already lost them. it's kind of a pity, really.

oh. well.. i'll start with this--

last... friday, was it? i had a fortune cookie with the best fortune ever: "When winter comes heaven will rain success on you." How's that for a fortune?? seriously, it totally made my day.

um.. what else what else...

new york is HOT. omg. it's miserable. hot and sticky and gross... a lot like korea, actually.

so, when i was roasting in various places on the west coast, i had these nice little dreams of the east coast being nice and cool even in the summer, and i realize now that i was sorely mistaken.

it's the kind of weather where you can just sit and not move a muscle, and you're baking from the inside out and your clothes get all damp and stick to your skin and your skin is all sticky and nasty from your sweat. sooooo... compared to phoenix or, say, palm springs, where it really is 120 degrees and like 100 in the shade... somewhere in the low to mid 90s might be a teensy bit cooler, but actually the way it works out is, by the time you're dealing with 120 degrees, it's literally stifling.. and 93 still feels pretty damn toasty. and then, you add the humidity... add a dash of traffic... you get the idea.

i had all these kinda cool things i wanted to say and someday, i will fix my habit of not writing them down and forgetting them and losing them forever

"As you begin Brain Wave Vibration, it is important to do so with very specific, positive intent. Without this, the action is only shaking, which might provide some temporary relaxation and escape, but it will not be permanent. Instead, as you shake, let go of everything and go to a place of oneness, the quiet center at the core of your being. it is from this place that you can begin to re-create yourself and to create the life you really want to live."

오늘은 태어나서 처음으로 반딧불을 보았다.
스승님께서 개송에 넣으신 반딧불.
참으로 예쁘더라.

i was out for a quick jog in the evening, and i saw real live fireflies, i think for the first time in my life. it was so pretty.
it was actually kind of hot out, but there was some wind, too.
how i love the wind.
