Just keep on

2009-07-12T20:05:00.000-07:00

Some words to live by, "Just keep on". Sometimes, things just seem to be very difficult and I am tempted to throw in the towel, to give up and be the ignominious loser. I felt like that yesterday and it occurred to me that the universe can kill me for all I care. I will not feel small or defeated. They have to take the living life out of me before I will give up the fight.

More words are not necessary. I just need more spirit and I think I have the spirit to continue and fight another day. I need to be consistent and just keep on going even when it is dark outside and everything seems hopeless.

A day in Cagayan de Oro

2008-10-13T06:02:00.000-07:00

For five months I lived in Cagayan de Oro and I tried my best to change my life. I may have succeeded somewhat because certain vistas have been opened for me. I have seen that I could accomplish things that I never thought I could do . I tried things that I never tried before and I changed the way that I looked at things.

I am no longer so concerned with using my mind to change my life. I just live each day without any burden or stress. Sometimes one cannot avoid stress but I try to factor in some easy thoughts. Cagayan might turn out to be something good for me. There might be something great waiting for me there. I don't rightly know if it will happen soon or if it will ever happen at all. There is nothing to indicate that I will ever achieve the things I want.

I planted lakatan in Maasin and that is close to Cagayan de Oro.

Mind Control

2008-04-18T20:55:00.000-07:00

My life sucks and I am going to change it. I mean to accomplish that by making changes to the way that I think and to gain control over my mental processes. I know that this is not an easy task and that the mind is a powerful and tricky thing which will win out in the end if I fail to establish control over my own self. Many times I have tried to establish control and many times I have achieved temporary success only to slide back and fall into familiar patterns which merely connects to my old life which sucked. This time I am going to stop and the method I am going to use is to bring as much of my mental processes into my conscious level to be examined by me in the light of reason. They could explain the reasons why I fail and keep coming back to that failure-oriented track that my life seems to be running on.

Waiting

2007-12-02T23:26:00.000-08:00

It is waiting that gets me. I hate to wait but somehow life makes me wait. I cannot move when I have to wait for something to happen. Like now, I do not know which way to go because I have to wait for somebody to make a decision. Maybe he does not know he has to make a decision because he has not been informed yet. This is the thing that bugs me. I hate to wait. There must be something to this waiting business otherwise it would not take on too much importance in my life. Maybe something is lacking and things cannot move for me correctly. I wait and I wait and I wait. There is no getting around waiting. I should explore this thing called waiting.

There must be something very important n the back of this. When something does not seem right then I stop working and allow things to sort themselves out rather than to use brute force to bring about a conclusion. It's like there is something in the back of my mind which tells me that something is wrong but my mind is too tired to tackle the issue. So, I defer action. I don't do anything. Is this correct? Is this the right way to proceed? To do nothing?

This is the day

I had planned on updating these pages everyday and keep it as a journal of the dark days I was in when I started this blog. Things are not as easy to do as we think and there are always roadblocks that keep us from doing what we plan to do no matter how trivial or innocuous. Things are not as desperate and hopeless as they were. I have my tea plants growing and I cannot even keep up with them. I intend to make the platform like I planned before and this time, I might actually be able to get this done. This platform was intended to put as many plants as I could in a small space which means having some of them on top of some, elevated by a supporting platform. The only strong platform I could think of is one made of steel rebars. This should be enough for my purposes.

I gave some tea cuttings to Rene and he should have no problem propagating them since he has access to some pieces of fine farm land. It will not be at once but I think I should get one structure built and see how it goes from there. I was thinking of having 3 or 4 levels for my purposes but I could see that this might not be practicable. I will be happy to have 2 levels but maybe 3 levels can be built.

New Styles, New Thoughts

2007-10-17T07:40:00.000-07:00

I know that one can change one's life. This is obvious. Life is all about adaptability and survival. In order to survive adverse conditions an organism must adapt to survive. I guess this is what I need to do: adapt. The thing about adapting is that it is not easy. Like, when a gun is pointed at your head and you're asked to renounce your religion or country or to betray somebody. That can be easy for some and difficult for others. Ching's World is all about adapting. It is adaptable: Ching's World is. It has already changed so much since it was first conceptualized. Ching's World started out as something and it has been changed several times to make it survive. Before the year is through I am sure that Ching's World will make one more metamorphosis.

It may sound trite but I never tire of offering these sites for your edification: Day by Day, Cagayan de Oro City, Papoy, Bethel Guest House,

Mental alertness and quickness might be a good thing but I believe that it is emotional agility that counts more in life. Street smarts allow a disadvantaged person to take the advantage everytime.

Something Exciting

2007-09-24T17:38:00.000-07:00

I had thought that nothing would ever excite me anymore. I had somehow felt that everything anyone could experience in a lifetime has happened to me already. This is not to say that I am jaded rather, the day that comes seems to be a clone of the one that came before. I do not know why this is so but I suppose this is how life is, after living for a while in this wonderful world, one begins to see patterns.

The exciting thing that has begun to unfold is nothing great or earth-shaking. It is simply the observation that an end to the endless dark, brooding, gloomy days that characterize my existence seems to be at hand. I can see certain signs and events that resonate in my soul that something good and exciting is coming. This in itself is exciting to me. I am talking about Ching's World.

When I first wrote Ching's World, I had the vision of something great, idealistic, wonderful. After going over the humps I had the distinct feeling that the most difficult part is over. Boy, was I wrong. Ching's World, wonderful as it is, proves to be difficult not just to create but also to get off the ground. Ah, how wonderfully exciting is Ching's World.

Something Great?

2007-07-29T04:24:00.001-07:00

Every once in a while something truly great comes along. It does not recessarily become greatly, wildly successful but intrinsically it can be deemed to be great. Take the human experience for instance. It has taken millions of years for nature to come up with something great, a human form with all the capabilities and potentials yet, these are never fulfilled. The human shape and form is supremely superior to other organisms be they animals or plants and yet, the thoughts that percolate in the human brain are mundane, trite, blah.

Forgive me for saying so but the thoughts that run in a human being's brain are replicated in millions of other brains and are only slightly more elevated than that of animal thoughts. All want to replicate and keep their genes alive in the gene pool just like everyday plants and animals. What could be great in that? Everything is mundane until someone comes along and shows people what can be. Or is that really the case? Maybe the struggle to remain in the gene pool is the stuff which is really great after all.

Along comes chings-world.com. Is it one of the greats? Or, is it merely another one of those wannabes that try so hard and fail so miserably? Who knows? It might be great or it may not. We just have to see if for what it has to offer. A Directory? A Membership Site? The Philippine setting?

Finding Stuff, Seeing Stuff

2006-12-20T06:49:00.000-08:00

It is easy to think that the Internet is just an easy way to send mail to someone or even to think that it is a cool way to cheat at trivia games. One can do a Google search while playing a trivia game and if one's connection is fast enough one can always beat the other players who are trying to rack their brains for information which is not there in the first place. One can make some money by becming a publisher and showing ads on your website. Not that one can become wildly successful overnight by doing that on a few pages.

I have discovered that I can place news feed on my website and it presents the latest news from the most interesting parts of the world. I go to one of my websites and read the news feeds and I get all that I need to know everyday. I read that Hamas and Fatah are at odds and Abbas is threatening to call elections in the Palestinian State although there seems to be a ceasefire being observed by both sides. I read that two climbers are still missing and that North Korea and U.S. diplomats are talking about nukes which is good. Talking is good.

It is comforting to know that the world is just as troubled as yesterday and that my own sorrows are not so bad in relation to what others are suffering. This is not to say that I like the comparison. The world could use a respite from all the troubles and problems and I could do with a little bit of success in my own little corner of the world. I have planted a few herbal tea plants and I take a look at them several times a day. Plans take so long to grow and I get impatient. I have however, started to harvest some and I boil the fresh leaves which seems to alleviate my asthma.

I have a few resources I want to share with whoever might be interested in vehicles and other stuff.

Easier Said Than Done

2006-11-15T17:52:00.000-08:00

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. One could say that hell is failure, failure to achieve tangible results or failure to follow through a plan or goal. Most of us make New Year's resolutions. We do it because we feel the need to change our lives, to make something work for a change and New Year's Eve seems to be a good time to start. Well, it is just another night like all the nights and there is really nothing special about it. We could start a new life, turn a new leaf any time we want to but, what are the chances that we will succeed? Probably, the same as when we do it on New Year's Eve.

Intentions are good and good intentions are even better. However, having them is not a guarantee that they will result in anything at all. It is probably better not to have some really big, shiny plan but small plans, little intentions and do them as they are made. The martial arts masters say there should be little or no gaps between thought and action. Maybe this could be applied to making changes in one's life: do it at once when the thought arises. That way we find out if the thought works when applied in real time and if it doesn't then we can make changes and see if these will work too.

Each day brings a new morning and new chances to make changes. Amazing things can happen in a day even if these amazing things are nothing more than little things that make a little difference in our lives. Some goodies are prepared where Ching Recommends and it is worth checking out. Jai, Ching's Empire, Ching's First, Online Resources, DB, a.Jose, Directory Resources.

What is life?

2006-09-17T14:26:00.000-07:00

It is a swirl of atoms and molecules, of electrons and protons dancing wildly in the night. It is a surge of emotions and feelings rumbling underneath a veneer of calmness and placidity that cries out, raging against that which seeks to keep it down, curtailiing its need to expand and flow endlessly and unabashedly where it needs to go. It is the march of inquisitiveness that seeks to shed the dark mantle of ignorance only to find a pandora's box of endless riddles and enigmas that beguile and belittle its feeble attempts at understanding and its wanting to gain a little bit more knowledge about its own existence.

Life sucks!

I do not understand it and I like it when it's good to me, and want it to end when I cannot stand the feeling of impotence and powerlessness that I feel oftentimes when it sits on my face and dares me to move forward and express my expansiveness and desire to be happy. Sometimes I just want to be left alone and be my small, little, petty self doing my own thing and having the smallest footprint there could ever be in this world. Sometimes I just want it to move along and pass me by as I sit and watch my own mind wander where it wants to go. But, life never allows you to do that. It cannot tolerate stagnation or lack of movement.

Even a stationary rock is not left alone to its own devices. It is constantly changed and transformed by the heat of the sun and the beating of tiny, relentless drops of rain and the rumblings of the earth as it plays its part in the dance we call life. I would like to sleep a little longer in the morning and not be awakened by some chore or something that I need to do. There is nothing that I need to do more than to lie in bed and sleep a little longer, to watch my mind as it dreams and weaves its patterns of internal life that makes sense to me when I am sleeping but not so much when I am awake.

Life is not easy to understand for someone like me. Visit Ching's Empire.

Websites, search engines and all that Jazz

2006-08-25T00:51:00.000-07:00

The business of putting up a website on the World Wide Web is not really for the faint-hearted. It is very easy to think that there is nothing to it. A naive newbie will always say, there are about 70 million websites in the Internet, surely I can make one just like the ugliest one there is. This, of course comes from a starry-eyed, optimistic, abject beginner who has high hopes of becoming a webmaster. Sure, there are free webhosts that take out the hard work and pain in making a website by giving the user a paint-by-numbers type of website creator. This is actually a good thing because making a website can be a darn pain in the neck especially if one is two of two things: ignorant and bull-headed. Being ignorant one goes ahead and gets ones hands dirty and very soon finds oneself in a lot of trouble. Being bull-headed, one refuses to be defeated and plows on with the work not caring for time or difficulty and pretty soon one has a working website for the world to see.

Havinig gone through the tutorials and after having read up on all materials related to website making, the webmaster-to-be starts thinking of webhosts and domain registration. I actually went through all the theoretical part of websites and I really thought, "how hard can it be?" Well, I was in for a big surprise. I had read up on HTML and CSS and I figured the best way was to get ready-made templates from a number of places in the Net which is basically a good plan. The idea was that, knowing the terminology would make it easier to read something made by an expert than to try and build one from scratch. There are countless of absolutely gorgeous templates just waiting to be fleshed out with terrific content. So, on I went with my, "how hard can it be?" approach.

If one has seriouisly explored the Internet one would surely find out about Search Engines and how they make the world wide web go round. There is no rocket science there. Think of the Web as a huge library which is growing continuously every second. How would one go about accessing the information from a huge physical library with rows and racks of books and periodicals? The simplest way is to look at the index cards which categorize and summarize every book in the shelves. Think of search engines as the index cards of a library. One can query a search engine for the contents of its databases based on a number of keywords that would bring one close to that which one is seeking. One could use Names or Authors or Subject Matter or Title in trying to locate a book. In a physical library with a buildiing and books this would be usual thing to do.

Search engines have taken this a step higher by providing a facility that further narrows down a search by indexing websites according to its contents using keywords to accumulate the various topics which a website may cover. A website may deal with a number of related topics and the search engine does its best to get a clear picture of what the website is all about so that it can offer that to the searcher on a silver platter of relevant pages. Whoah, what have we done? We have gone from being stymied by HTML and CSS to being knocked silly by the search engines and their appetite for content. This is a whole new ball game and I don't think I signed up for this type of aggravation.

Well, if one lives in the Net long enough one would surely have one's tidy, neat, well-ordered pre-conceived notions knocked over by a deluge of unstoppable variables that threaten to derail one's desire to have a website on the World Wide Web. What is one to do? Well, never fear for superman or someone who looks like him is near. Enter articles and writers for hire who give you finished articles that you can put on your website to make it worth reading as well as looking at. So ok, content can be addressed properly by writing it oneself or buying it from someone or gettinig it from some source which is willing to part with its stash of valuable articles.

Hard disk gave up

2006-08-13T09:35:00.000-07:00

I had a bit of rest when my hard disk gave up the ghost. I did not really expect it to conk out for another three years but the things I was making it do finally did it in. Traffic exchanges were the primary reason why my hard disk gave up on me. It was not something which is ordinarily asked of a computer. But traffic exchanges were somehow intriguing and beguiling for someone who wants to drive traffic to his sites. Much like speed-dating, joining a traffic exchange gets your site seen by many people while you also see a lot of other sites you would otherwise not see at all all of this happening is a short span of time which increases its seductive appeal.

The natural progression from manual exchanges is automated exchanges for after all, computers were supposed to make our work lighter, right? I figured, I could view more websites without too much effort by joining autosurf exchangess. This was fine in theory at least. The major setback that I had was the wear and tear on my hardware which is kind of old. The other negative factor was that viewing so many sites in a short time causes eyestrain and I needed to rest my eyes for long periods of time.

Clearly, this was not a totally good idea for me. There had to be another way and my hard disk losing its magnetic glow forced me to consider other options. So, it's back to the drawing board, so to speak. I had seen the word SEO bandied about in the many discussions and forums and articles. SEO of course stands for Search Engine Optimization. Like something very esoteric and hidden from the masses, SEO is like the Holy Grail of SEO masters who make it their life's work to outwit or make search engines work for them. In simple terms, when somebody wants to find something from the Internet, he uses the search engines to bring to him a list of websites that deal with his keywords or the words that he wants the search engines to locate for him.

It is therefore imperative to know how the search engines conduct their searches and how they present their result which is aptly named SERP or, search engine result pages. Knowing how the search engines do their job allows technically-savvy individuals to make the search engine algorithm work for them. So, it is not uncommon for one expert to trumpet to the world his feat of landng in the number one spot for his keywords.

This was all very strange to me and somehow I did not feel that I should concern myself with their techniques. I belonged to a lower species of Internet denizens and SEO was certainly a concept which was too high above me. Be that as it may, one cannot remain untouched by SEO if one is concerned with bringing traffic to one's website. No man is an island, they say and a website floating in the vast void is lonelier than an island in the Pacific Ocean.

An even longer interval

2006-08-07T08:12:00.000-07:00

I cannot believe it. I had wanted to write something everyday to chronicle each twenty-four hours that passed in my life and maybe give a sense of what a life is all about. Nothing is ever simple or orderly or organized and lined up in a pretty row. Life is also wavelike and moves like a wave. It does not move in a straight line much as we would want it to. Life never stops and just keeps on going even when one phase has stopped and another started.

I guess one could say that there are many stages or phases in a man's life and that this could be termed episodes or chapters of some sort. We don't have to be artists with their periods and phases. We can just have what we have in bunches or groups. It is all the same, I think. Many days bunch together to form a phase even if one day just follows the next in endless succession. We might think that life happens day by day and week after week but there might be a color or a shape to these as in the "blue phase" or the "bent nose phase".

I had been excited and then depressed and I guess this was the reason why I stopped going to this journal to faithfully record each day. Depression does that to you. It makes any sort of activity pointless and you just want to sleep and sleep and sink deep into oblivion. This had been my problem all along and I thought that I had it licked. Life is like that, very treacherous while being very wonderful and I guess part of the thrill and wonder is in not knowing what it will do next. It always does the unexpected. It is as if it wants to keep us on our toes all the time.

After so many days, a new entry

2006-07-01T08:47:00.000-07:00

It has been many days since I last looked into these pages and attempted to glean a semblance of order into my unordered life. It appears to me that my life is as jumbled as my thoughts and this might be a clue as to the nature of the problem. I think maybe I should bring a little order into my thoughts thereby causing order to come into my life also. I have had the grace to sit in meditation these past few days. I had completely forgotten about this life-saving practice and the chaos that is my life has finally become so intolerable that I had to find the time to sit and focus my mind on the one thing that is real. I meditated.

I can still recall in my younger days when life was so simple. I had my life laid out neatly. I was going to meditate and find my liberation or moksha. Simple as that. Well, as it turned out I was not so focused at all. I fell into bad habits and I allowed bad decisions to lead me to bad actions and bad conclusions. Now, as I lay reeling from the blows of a life gone haywire, I remember my simple formula: meditate a lot. As I mentioned, I had the grace to sit in meditation for a few minuttes and this has served to calm my mind somewhat. I feel a little more calm and sure of myself. Not that anything has changed much externally. I am still the same as I was before but inside, I am less hurried and less harried by my demons.

I have learned to define four goals for myself. These are very simple goals and I will not deviate from them. They are good goals, nice goals. Goals that will bring me a measure of satisfaction from just aiming for them. If I know my life right, I will be able to meet these goals in no time at all.

These are my goals:

I will have my web hosting
I will have my domains and websites along with subdomains
I will buy one of the programs for these websites
I will focus on Adsense

I realize that it is very easy to get lost in the affiliate jungle and so, I will concentrate on Google Adsense. I will learn all that I can to succeed in this. I do not care for the black hat techniques that are being hawked all over the Internet. I will research and study and find all the information that I need to get Adsense to work for me. I will buy one of the ready-made websites and study the innards of these websites in an effort to find out how they are constructed and learn the techniques used to make them effective.

Bad day, feeling depressed

2006-06-13T01:56:00.000-07:00

Emotions really can kill you. Too much anger in the air; too much shouting; too many hurtful words. I wonder why this has to be part of my day? Words could be good if used in a good way; I cannot understand why words are used to hurt other people. It makes me feel so heavy and hurt inside. I cannot stop it. I cannot prevent it. Sometimes I wish I were not around to hear the hurtful words, to be far away in some isolated place to be left alone to my thoughts. To wish to die would be too much but maybe it is a fate worse than death to be subjected to such abusive words.

I do not feel like working at all. I do not feel like doing anything .I just want to curl up and sleep. Maybe tomorrow will be a brighter day. Maybe the birds will be chirping merrily. There is so much to be happy for and yet there is anger in my house. There is unhapppiness. I just want to be left in peace. I just want to be happy. My footprint is very small and yet it is constantly disturbed.

What to do? I remember when I was younger when my own mind would be constsantly in turmoil. Did I cause so much suffering and pain to my parents? Did I disappoint them in any way? I think it is not easy being a human being. There are just too many expectations and there is really no one that you can rely on to mqke you happy. Every one is thinking of his own personal happiness and whatever it is that can make him happy. No one really gives a damn about other people's feelings. I do not know how long I will last living like this. It is so bad and I am not as resilient as I used to be.

This has been a bad, bad day. I hope tomorrow will be better.

More new discoveries

2006-06-10T08:32:00.000-07:00

My mouse is acting up. This little rodent that is such a convenience has chosen to disobey my wishes and goes where it wants to go. It is beginning to really irritate me. If this keeps up I will b forced to get rid of this little baby and buy another one which I hope will be well-behaved for a few months. I don't buy the expensive optical mouse, just the cheap kind that uses a ball but which unfortunately doesn't last very long. I'm a cheapskate mainly because I don't have any money of my own. I miss having money, being gainfully employed and looked up to for the necessities in life. As it is now, I am really quite useless.

I am learning a little more every day and, if this keeps up I might just become an expert in a year's time. This is a wonderful prospect and which I hope will be able to give me a much-needed boost financially. I have stopped doing any programming because I have gotten engrossed in websites and the nitty-gritty of getting a website noticed in the World Wide Web. More and more I am uncovering the little nuances of the Internet and one day it might work to my advantage.

If I had any money I would see for myself if what they are hawking really works. I believe in proving the technique or system through actual practical experience. As it is, with no money I cannot test these products at once so, I must content myself with taking the longer route which is much more scenic and informative. From what I have seen so far, I can see that I am not really wasting any time like these marketers are saying. I am getting real nuggets of information which I can see are based on logic and reason. and less on hype and emotions.

A pleasant surprise

2006-06-05T08:06:00.000-07:00

Not expecting anything from my SoulCast Blog, I opened it half-heartedly. I re-read what I'd written and towards the bottom I espied the words '2 comments'. I jumped up in glee and brought my face closer to the monitor to better read what had been written. Quick to respond to these comments, I dashed off a short note to show my appreciation and elation at having someone read my blog and actually to take the time to make an elaborate comment on it.

Refreshing my browser to see if my comments have been added, I was doubly gratified to see that my second post had 8 comments and that someone had written anothe comment as I was writing my own rejoinder. I had written something quite controversial and true enough, I had stepped on someone else's sensibilities. A free exchange of ideas is one of the great liberties that we have as human beings. I will say my piece and I will listen to everyone elses and that is a great thing. We don't have to agree.

Something new everyday

2006-06-04T10:32:00.000-07:00

The day started out sleepy and tired. She woke me up really early and my eyes were unwilling to open and see a new day. But I had to get up because she wanted me to do something or other. Reluctantly, I got up and had a mug of hot water laced with honey. I was not in the mood for coffee as my stomach needed something less sharp. I more or less sleepwalked through the morning; I really needed sleep but I was already up so, what can I do? Later that afternoon I could not help myself, I laid down and slept. What a wonderful feeling I had when I awoke.

There was one thing that bothered me and that was: how to get visitors to my site? I get emails telling me to Blast my ads to 500 million people for a just a few dollars a month; everyone has a method, a technique, a system and I have no idea if they will work for me or not. I had a pleasant surprise today though when my Google Adsense account registered a few cents for the first time since I started. This was really gratifying to know that it is real, I could make some money from the Internet. My problem is how to multiply those few cents to make the money significant?

Getting a routine going

2006-06-03T07:55:00.000-07:00

I woke up early today like I did yesterday and I thought, Great, I will do what I did yesterday and I'm sure this day will go just fine too. Well as they say, 'well-laid plans of mice and men', it is almost predictable the way my life is; I plan on doing something and I am sure to get blocked, side-tracked and forced away from my chosen rut. She tells me to go and fetch the plumber, my commander-in-chief did and if I complained and squirmed and tried to get out this errand, I would never see the end of it. I would have to feel bad too since one can't do a credible job of acting unwilling without some emotional outburst.

Emotions are no good for me. I never did get along with having bursts of adrenalin shock my system on a regular basis. Some people can't go through life without a crisis everyday. I guess I'm not just made out for excitement. There I was this morning, two hours of my time wasted on tying to locate someone who had probably moved to a better neighborhood. Well, not really wasted as I was able to get several bunches of banana. I can't live without banana the way Koreans can't live without kimchi.

Having started my day on my feet, I went with the flow and did some more errands. getting a quotation for a new computer which an incoming tenant needed to buy. It felt good to have my legs stretched and my blood circulating a liitle more quickly. Upon getting back to my trusty old PIII, I did my usual stuff and discovered a cool way to get linked. They have not approved me yet but I applaud what they are doing.

Good day, today.

2006-06-02T05:37:00.000-07:00

Woke up early today. Did not feel any need to rush into anything at all so I did a bit of surfing at BlogExplosion while I sipped my coffee. I was not fully awake yet and the parade blogs before me were like a merry-go-round of different thoughts from different minds. with different colors and shapes and designs. Like a dream, they stream past my sleepy eyes not yet perked up by the coffee I was slowly sipping. This is something I could be doing every morning when I wake up, warming up slowly to the day and languidly letting new ideas into my mind, assimilating their tricks and techniques and letting my mind synthesize new ways of stating what others are saying in their own way.

No rush, just take things slowly. I feel more relaxed and I enjoy doing what I dod more. I am able to close my eyes for a few seconds and bring myself to a quiet place inside my mind where I hear my mantra echoing without effort on my part, constant, without urgency, reminding myself that time can stand still when the mind is still and aloof amid the rush and clamor of endless thoughts stampeding like wild horses going nowhere.

Starting tonight

2006-06-01T09:05:00.000-07:00

It is past midnight and I am still trying to make this day worth something. I really did not do much today; sat in front of my computer for most of the day trying to figure out what to do to make something out of this new project of mine. It was much nicer before when I did not have to confront myself with figures and statistics like, how many people viewed my blogs today? what am I doing wrong? what more could I be doing? should I give in to the hype and go with what some sure-fire how-to product that the email blasts me with all day? I quickly disabuse myself of the notion that buying one of those super-charged system, software, software or idea-in-a-disk was one of my options. I simply don't have the dough for them or I would have plunked my centavo where it would never see the light of day again. Maybe I need to sit back and relax a little bit, take in some fresh air, look out from my balcony and maybe see some butterflies today.

A nagging feeling keeps at me: I should be having fun but I keep it out of the way so as not to derail my train of thought as it speeds its way through the jungles of the Internet getting nowhere fast, but consoled by the thought that I will no longer waste my time on this and that idea; notions and magic potions that don't work at all and lay scattered on the wayside making me much, much wiser but none the richer. I am getting my hands really wet and really dirty and I have still to see the light at the end of the tunnel, a good thing for sure; having some little nugget in my hand would serve to cheer me up, make me pack up and call it a day after taking some time sit and congratulate myself like Little Jack Horner delaying me and keeping me from making my appointment with the mother lode which may just be around the corner.
