Bob's Manuscript

Destiny, take 2

Bob Brown — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 16:04:50 +0000

feels like I've been in this place before... the bell of insanity is ringing... you know what they say...
doing the same stuff over again and expecting different results is well... yeah, probably has "Bob" written next to it..

'cause history keeps repeating itself but it isn't my dream - YET... but I have hope...

Bob's take:
If the dream keeps knocking you in the face, perhaps you should wake up and smack it back.

wow... ouch. that might be kinda harsh...

When the idea can't escape you, it's time to respect YOU...
hmmmmm I like better...

keep thinking.

third times a charm?

listening to Maya today... the words keep floating around in my head...

BOB... BE STILL!

being still isn't the same as doing nothing though... sometimes it's hard to figure out
the difference...

if i knew better, I'd do better... but I don't know what that "better" is right now...

seems there's nothing out there that's concrete enough... no job, no home, no money...

but it will come

- with each day we try a little harder
- we get a little stronger
- love a little longer

holy moly, I think this could be the beginning to a great country song... BUT WAIT.. CONCENTRATE!

manuscript. manuscript. manuscript. manuscript. manuscript. need inspiration.

where is that Caramel Pecan Fudge ice cream I used to love anyhow... ?

Bob's traveling pants

Bob Brown — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:13:51 +0000

this question makes me think: is something relevent if we don't see it?

i mean, everything's dependent on everything else to survive, like the sun and earth,
as far as i can tell...

and if we change how we see "it", does the thing change?

my soul's traveling but i feel no relief... when will it sit still? maybe I need exercise....

yeah, B, this tire's no good if it's not on the car!!!

don't want to have these expectations hanging over my head...

but i know Andre's right... i have to lose sight of the shore...

and man, i can't wait to land near the ocean!!

but for now, it's jello and listening to Alice's nephew play the violen.

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

Oh, Valentine!

Bob Brown — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 20:22:24 +0000

today, I found this online:

"Saint Valentine was eventually imprisoned, beaten, stoned, and beheaded. They don't tell you that on the cards."

seems some are cynical as the day approaches...

I feel a V-day poem traveling through me now...

Oh, Valentine
Where are you?
I haven't seen you in days.
Not even sure you still exist.
I still count down the ways.

The ways I could make you
call out for me...
The ways I could make you say
all the things I'd like to hear
from you every day...

Bob, can I bring you some tea?
Bob, can I run you a hot bath?
Bob, can I love you death?
Bob, can you come to bed?

Oh, Valentine
I still believe.
-B

Zak's Mom

Bob Brown — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:57:32 +0000

uh... trying to figure out what the universe is trying to tell me...

Zak's mom is hitting on me... while I like the attention, she's twice my age, and married... and even if she's getting a divorce
she's still Zak's MOM... help

this is such a distraction from my manuscript

this is bringing forth some poetic feelings...

Sweet Jolene, you're like a song

I don't want to sing.

I'm an all or nothing guy,

a man on a mission.

Not up for distractions,

getting beat up

or fishing.

Sweet Jolene,

Why oh why me?

Can one have a gambling addiction to bingo? :)

Bob Brown — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 16:19:32 +0000

bingo's the new black for me... perhaps I've been hanging with the oldies too much, but I truly love it... Alice gave me two bingo scratch offs for Christmas, and I misplaced them.. found them this week, and I've never had to much fun! Alice rules. you know, life is a lot like playing bingo...

one of the only games where your fate is already determined once you pick your numbers, but it's also the luck of the draw, too... then you're just waiting it out with your numbers... very different from other games, where the winners are all predetermined before you even buy into it... or in the casinos, where they have better odds of winning... wonder what the odds of bingo playing are... or whose favor they're in...

screw it, I don't want to ruin the excitement. B-I-N-G-O, and bingo was his name-O!

Bingo Bob... it has a ring to it, doesn't it, G?

Inspirational thoughts about The Shift

Bob Brown — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 22:46:47 +0000

watched The Shift again last night, the movie Dr. Dyer stars in...

I feel the transformation coming over me... not sure if it's real or wishful thinking...

all these inspirational thoughts flood my brain... yet I feel I'm still "searching" when I should

be in perfect alignment with the universe, and let it arrive when it's time... WOW, what a thought...

my life purpose... my inspirational poetry... where's it taking me?

I feel a small one arising inside of me as I write...

The day begins different
from where it ends
Oh, so does Dyer say
I know he has a way with words
I feel the love
I pray

I practice not to find perfection
although I wouldn't complain
do I love thy self more?
Do I love the pain?
I hesitate

I search
for the imperfect quest
that feeds my soul
will it ever come in full?
will I ever know...

what it means to be free?

Life purpose: Progress, not perfection?

Bob Brown — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 19:16:59 +0000

been hearing this phrase a lot - progress, not perfection... first I hear it on the radio when I wake up... then I read it in a blog online when I'm not even a blog-reader, unless it's Dyer... is this a sign, God? are you trying to tell me something about my life's purpose?

what other inspirational words of wisdom can you share? with all of these holiday blues I need them...

these words are indeed powerful... if I struggle for perfection I may lose the progress... always been an all or nothing kind of person, so it's hard to not strive for the best...

after all, Dyer does say, "Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are."

why can't I be myself?

Cheers to Holiday Blues!

Bob Brown — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 20:54:15 +0000

trying to find inspiration lately, but all I'm finding are holiday blues...

everyone's got their own families... and of course they're treating me WELL, like always...
but it's not the same... I feel a little empty... although I'm fighting that hollow feeling...

i understand that nothing good will come from sulking or "being down," but i also think we should feel whatever we're feeling and not suppress it...

so cheers to the holidays blues... may 2011 be more fruitful and may Bob grow wiser...

it's the only way to finish the manuscript!
