Inspiration is good.

pax_industria — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:14:18 GMT

Often at work, I open my copy of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations and jump to a random page, and read a verse or two. I find that at $OLDJOB this brought me back to center and inspired me even when I was frustrated and angry. At $NEWJOB I've been continuing this tradition, we are far to often fed frustation, disappointment and self doubt as part of the ration of our daily lives and I for one would rather feed the better parts of my nature when I can. Especially since I all to often sucumbe to the the former rather then the later. This morning, this is what I read:

The first Rule is, to keep an untroubled spirit; for all things must bow to Nature's law, and soon enough you must perish into nothingness, like Hadrian and Augustus. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are, remembering that it is your duty to be a good man. Do without flinching what man's nature demands; say what seems to you most just - though with courtesy, modesty, and sincerity.

Yeah. What he said. I'm going to do that.

My last day at $JOB was on Friday, and it feels like I've set myself adrift. There was no deluge in my mailbox this morning. No alerts on my phone. No problem to solve... not fire to put out. Weirdly, it feel lonely, and quiet. I feel like I've been at a concert full of crowded fury and noise for the last few years, and suddenly, I woke up in an empty concert hall.

pax_industria — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 05:34:31 GMT

The difference between "uh" and 'huh" is huge.

I wonder ... do you know more about comic books them me (not you heatray... you do)

I wonder about the world sometimes.. .I feel like I know very little about it, and have been lucky enough to skate by on charm and .. well good fortune.

I guess thats enough.

Revolution:

pax_industria — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 08:47:46 GMT

Revolution:

a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving; "the industrial revolution was also a cultural revolution"

That pretty much sums up how I felt about tonight. Happy. Sad. Nostalgic. Filled with anticipation. I sort of feel like all my beginnings and ends mushed together tonight, at one party.

Sometimes I feel like I need to come up for air, but the waters to deep. And on a related note, I was just reminded, by one of the many people that live in my head, that one of my favorite views is that of looking back at the surface of the water while scuba diving... I suppose drowning wouldn't be so bad if you had something peaceful to look at.

Drill to the head??!

pax_industria — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:25:10 GMT

There is a man with a Power drill standing in my office drilling screws into the wall.... Does he not know I was up late watching the election and drinking wine? Good lord man... turn the power tool.... OFF.
