i have successfully procrastinated my day away and now i must take a bath....

1:06pm

i'm listening to animal collective and procrastinating.
so i drank another red bull in hopes that will kick me in the ass.
my back is not hurting me too much right now.

i'm a SO excited because a found a VHS cassette of the 1973 film "lost horizon" that i saw when i was 7.
i have been searching for it for 33 years. i didn't even know the name of it until 2 days ago.
(thank you google!)
so i found a vhs cassette on ebay and my friend pinkpeppercorns is buying it for me in exchange for ana2.
i can't wait to seei it again!
*bounce bounce bounce *

:)


has anyone here ever had their kundalini "awakened" or tried to awaken it?
if so, please tell me your story.

also, what is exactly the point of awakening/activating it?
what are the benefits of having it fully "on"?

also, has anyone here ever been successful in making a merkabah?
and if so, what did you do with it and what were your experiences?

11:47am

snow still on the ground. 22 degrees. brrrrrrrr.

my back is still hurting but it's ok as long as i do not move much.
i hope it gets better soon because i have a lot of heavy boxes to take to the p.o. box next week.

i need to get one of those folding carts.

i don't know what to do with this day. i want to get rid of more things but #1. i don't want to hurt my back further.
i feel in a very physical mood so this is frustrating for me not to be able to be physical. bending and lifting are definitely out.

i need to work on the photo for 12 babes of xmas.
i ahve to paint a bunch of things for it but i am not in the mood to paint.

i would also like to clean like vacuum and scrub my tub, but again, my back prevents this.

i could work on my taxes (arrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh.)
and i know i should. i know i HAVE to.

also i have to go through much paper stuff , like all my magazines and newpapers and clip out the articles about e and then throw away the extra pages. that will free up a lot of room but i wonder of this will hurt my back to hunch over or if there is a way to do it that i a not hunched over.
i suppose i bought the folding card table. perhaps i could do it on there.

also, i need to take all the stuff i am sending to that guy who bought all the last of my musical stuff for $444 and autograph as much of it as possible and get that ready to be sent to him.

so much to do. all involving paper.
btu i ahve to get this done by the end of the year because i MUST. that is my goal.
i'm trying to get in the right mindframe for it.
either that or just suck it up and do it anyway even tho it is painfully boring and like pulling teeth.

so...one of these things or several of these things i will work on today, i hope.

i guess i will autograph stuff as that is the easiest and i need to get this out to that guy so i cam mail it to him on monday.

i also need to reinstall aloecam, the software that grabs and saves my cam images. because the one on my computer is not working anymore.

Horoscope for Aries (November 26 2005)

Put an all-out effort into whatever you have to get done. It's important that you get things out of the way if you want to stop feeling anxious. A money matter can be resolved if you pay or collect an old debt.

and

Tonight you are very sensitive to other people's moods and can judge them quickly. You lend a sympathetic and friendly ear to people's problems, for you have a strong desire to protect and support your friends emotionally. Peace and harmony in your personal world are very important to you at this time, and you are not willing to deal with someone else's harsh feelings, except to try to smooth them over. Your sensitivity to other people also enables you to deal easily with groups. You respond to the group's changes of mood and are able to fit your communication to that mood. Thus this is a good time for any sort of public appearance or situation in which you have to sell something to a group or persuade them of a point of view. You are able to make others feel that you are one of them.

and

Sometimes you Rams forget that compromise doesn't mean failure. All types of relationships work best when you're willing to discuss and adapt. Now, with the Moon in your 7th House of Partners, your willingness to negotiate is seen as a sign of strength. You may feel frustrated, for you know exactly where you want to go, but give-and-take is required. This is a small price to pay in order to make the situation work for everyone involved.

and

Saturday We have a day of exchange. internal and external dialogues. Still with this awareness we can now feel the disorienting influence seeing all sides can bring. Where is the 'I' in this storm anyway? Mercury continues it's backward slide and slips into Scorpio where she'll be until turning direct on the 3rd of December. Secrets are slippery now, watch for those skeletons coming out of the closet on their own power. It's about time for some stark realities about the administration and the critical mass of exposure that's been building will be reached before Mercury turns direct. In our intimate community now is a time for underlying unspoken's to be spoke. With a big breath and a wish to hear or say what has been under the surface. The relief of not having to carry around one of these 'unspokens' often gives the energy needed to emotionally metabolize it.
