striking a half-chord with me

Last post of 2009 until another section grows on the right-hand side of this screen that says 2010. It will be a cool day when it's 2-22-2222, but if I were alive I'd be 236, so that wouldn't be cool. It's a cold snowglobe here in Illinois, but tonight I will be in Kentucky. I've never been to Kentucky, even though tonight barely counts as I won't see much, as I will be in a cabin. We will celebrate a transition of time from one year to the next.

Just two days ago I was in Florida, and some days before that I was in this land called Puerto Rico and some islands named after some Saints. I was with my entire family and we met this nice other family at our dinner table. It was complementary. 5+5=10. 1E+1E=>3E, 1G+1G= 2.5G (1 remainder). It's all a matter of steps and relativity. A half-person, indeed! I mean nothing by my average calculations of familiar mathematical matters, and there is no harm in venturing theories if my gist doesn't transfer past your firewall in a clear manner.

Last night was interesting involving a barcrawl starting around 4:30 pm (but that part was for work) and lasting until 8, you know, talking about taking over the world again somewhat involving chambers of commerce and state leaders and changes, then: a free food pickup from campustown connections and half-movie MIB break where someone alien and unwelcome rang my doorbell, came in for 3 awkward minutes, and then left with no wanted human touch contact. Since when do clowns drop in town like this? And ring doorbells uninvited. Wanting plans! Go away silly clown, onto your own adventures! Don't bring me back into your ring of fire, for I'd rather play with the monkeys and trees and move on rather than go bananas with you again

oh then we (you know, me and my girl) went out for funnies again til 2. I'm calmed and amused at my desk and desktop now.

I'm moving next week! Downstairs. It will be more baller. And outfitted with new memories to be made!

Accidentally Ate my Fate

Giving Quantic a trippy test as I am in the midst of transition

When are we not in transition? But this one is quite large and important, Mara, and it so falls on the blue moon stage

Obama, Faulkner, and the Uses of Tragedy by Jon Meacham


"It is this last insight that informs Obama's thinking: tragedy as the acceptance of the fact that the world will never fully conform to our wishes, and that even the noblest human efforts will fall short of our highest aspirations."

Trip-trip-trip trippy, life is a trip and no I -- am not high (...right now). I am at "work," in my oversized modern office donated by the developing company who has helped paved my fate! Fate indeed, we have a lot on our plate. Last year I didn't overeat but I was a little above target weight. Next year, we cook and deliver the packaged product meal fresh to the tables above the Mahomet Aquifer. We will sprinkle sugar creams of our dreams on the flat feet of the Illinois state, making potions with our sweet lady fingers, and what a delicious concoction it will be. Trust me, stick here with me, mate, and your buns won't regret the good tidings that will sweep your way, see?

dub and sounds from the ground

happy 4:20

I stopped home at noon from a morning info session on investors and found him reading on my couch...

Want to go here in Feb: http://www.ripponfestival.co.nz/index.htm flights r $1500. :( the concert is sold out (no worries!). Know some people going to NZ soon. Much about NZ calls to me. In fact, I talked to her on the phone yesterday. Girl friend of my friend with a cute accent - we met each on the iphone long-distance and had a great convo where you can tell you'll get along in person. Georgette lives there and has a friend who dated someone in Fat Freddy's! NO WAY

CCNet.

Life is so good!

(Even After All - Finley Quaye. Also some Salmonella Dub and Thievery showed up on the Fat Freddy's pandora station :)

It's amazing how much fulfillment I get from my work, that job I created. Here I started doing what I enjoyed as an undergrad community organizing, and now I'm still here doing a more important version of it with state and nationwide implications... a chance to revolutionize not only my community -- Champaign-Urbana, IL -- but the business community and green businesses nationwide... 

There is so much potential for increased connectivity here on sustainability issues. So much potential for cross-pollination of ideas. So much potential for innovation, entrepreneurship, research... So much potential to make this a true micro-urban community, and paint it green.

wow that is some good free brownie. the cheesecake and beer was last night, indubitably
