Immersion in the Experience and Moment

I hear people say "Life is Full of Moments."

and I agree.

I use to live in my mind and not be in the moment, experiencing it.

My thoughts would dwell somewhere else on what I have to do, a written exam, a test, a job, etc.

For example, it could be something so simple as a night where it's raining. I'll use raining cause it's actually more interesting than sun, because where I live it's always sunny, except lately.

So....

It's raining, you're standing outside, underneath the roof so you're not getting to wet. What's going on here? Are you in you're mind thinking about something like a test, or a task that you have to do? Do you think about the laundry you have to do, the book report you have to do, what time you have to get up in the morning.

or...

Do you immerse yourself in the environment. Is the sound of the rain pleasing to your ears? It's a dark night, so when you look across to your neighbors house and you see their front light, you notice how illuminating it is, how since it so dark outside your eyes naturally open up a little bit more when you see a light. Ever breathe the air, how crisp it is at night, and since it's raining, it's a little cold as well. There's also the different sound that rain makes when it falls on the road then when it falls on the lawn. When it falls on the road it's more loud than on the lawn.

They say "Life is Full of Moments"

and it is.

They're great to experience, especially when you experience them by being in it, not disrupting thoughts of whatsoever... you're immersed in the moment.

Let Go and Having

I got one of those personality awards on a dating site and I'm quite happy, I got an award for being More Independent... but anyways.

It stated that the best way to have me, is to let me go, and see if I'll come back. Well in their words.

"Independent users, like the little bird over there, don't want to be caged. They need their space, their freedom, their time to do their own things without interruption. Set them free, and if they come back, you'll have them forever!"

That really connected with me. :)

A desire to seek real connections, dynamic ones.

Got To Be Real by Cheryl Lynn HAHAHAHAHA :)

Nocturnal Thoughts

Being Nocturnal again. I don't mind, just fascinated with what's my deal with the night. Somehow is linked to me loving to write and this is the time when it's most quiet that I can hear myself sleep. Are other people who love words and meaning and stories, such and such the same way too?

2nite was night that wasn't for me. Funny how I like to write stories but most of the time I don't like revealing stuff about myself to be honest. A conflict if I ever would feel compelled to write a story about myself or write about my experiences. But a couple of blog post later shows that I can tell stories about myself but still keep some for me. Sounds like a Power issue.

but back 2 2night. Wont say what I did, but my purpose this evening was for friend. Of course I had fun but it was mainly so my friend. I'm sure he appreciates it.

The act of giving, I will to pat myself on the back for that, but I hope its not bragging.

I really don't want to sleep though the body does, and even though they say most meloncolly people, yes I misspelled that, i'll edit soon, are actually up at 3 am in the morning. No worries I considered myself happy. The night however is what I'm in Love with. Sounds funny? or maybe it's quite simple, I have a lot in my mind... but then again with my inner most thoughts I tend to keep them hidden until I find a creative way to express them in not so blunt manner but one that's subtle. I like to make people work for it I guess ;)

So i thought Muay Thai would be my Passion but then again, things come and go but the one that always stays is Art. The way I view the world, the connection of words, the meaning of sentence or paragraph elegantly put together to tell you a message. New things come and go but there are things that remain the same as well.

My head hurts, maybe from lack of sleep, I'm going to lay my head down and keep dreaming.

Time to go to Sleep

When you read these dating posts on topic conversations they say "weather" is a boring topic, but how can you say that when you live in Southern California where we're pretty much spoiled by sun.

When I wake up about 11 am because I didn't sleep early last night followed by calling in sick at work so I can get more sleep I can open my door and see see how bright it is and I can feel the cool wind swooshing by me.

You know when it's really bright outside and your eyes are wide open you feel the form of all that you see, a mirror image reflected by your eyes, it's like what you see becomes a part of you eyes.

how about when you breathe in, opening you mouth wide to breathed in the swooshing air, ever think that you're breathing in life, you're taking something and putting inside of you. The same as smell.

Taste, isn't that a great sense. To know many different flavors.

To be able to hear, oh what a great feeling. They say when you talk on the phone it's like the person is whispering to you. So you have to use and adequate amount of volume so they can hear you and so they wont think you're too loud.

Touch brings you closer to people.

Senses.

Yeah so the weather is nice. If I could I would bring everyone to California right now. Send the Air Planes for those who want the faster route, the train for those who want to see mountains and valleys and smell the fresh air in the morning when you step out while feeling the wind gust at you. I'll send the boats, for those of you who like the stillness of the water along with cool night. For those who like a long journey I'll send one of those wagons that goes cattle trail and give you a notebook so you can write all your adventures in.

I say "enjoy" things.

Because there is so many things to enjoy.

Goodnight.

Pre Test Vent

I've been studying a grip today, because I felt that I have procastinated on my study for tommorrows test. I actually have been studying but I still felt that I could have studied more. Wish I had.

Although I tried to hit the book one more time before I go to sleep I couldn't grasp anything, I feel that I've hit an overload. Should I just rest right now or continued. I just don't want my brain to be friend tommorrow. Lets see I'm going to read some more right now.

You know what, My brain is on overload, I'd rather rest it... well. I feel that I should be good based on the decisions I make instead of how much more studying I can put in.

I've decided to rest my brain for tommorrow and start fresh.

decided to that the plan is to do the "easy" ones, I should say "easier" questions first then go to the ones that are hardest.

decided, to at the time of the test to Perform with the intent of passing the test

decided to think more healthy and there are other oppurtunities to take the test, even if it takes another couple or more months to wait to retake.

I should be good, but one things certain, i'm better than before.
