Merry New Year

Getting tired already so I doubt I’ll last till midnight. The plan is to take a shower and do a little home spa deal before the end of the year. I’m also drinking hot chocolate with a splash of Kaluha (however you spell it).

Happy 2004!

I am the Charismatic

Charisma is a presence that excites us. It comes from an inner quality – self-confidence, sexual energy, sense of purpose, contentment – that most people lack and want.

There’s always the question of was it worth it and would you climb another high hill. I expect I will, in time. I seem to be destined to keep climbing hills no matter how much I wish I’d just stop and stay home where it’s always the same, not happy maybe but comfortable.… Read the rest

Nothing

If you wait long enough it’ll be tomorrow. Just sit still and feel nothing. Eventually it will be tomorrow and then next year and the next year and the next year.

So that’s what I’ll be doing today.… Read the rest
