updated when i should be doing other things; my escape for dear life
Hello. It’s been a while.
I didn’t come prepared with an idea to express. Nothing in particular to adddress. Today just happens to be the first Saturday morning in a long time wherein I don’t have anywhere to be, anything to do, or anyone to tend to.
Most Saturday mornings this past year were spent catching up from a late night out. But not last night. Last night was a soft night. Peaceful.
And this morning is also a soft morning. It comes with appreciation. Perhaps pensive, but for the most part it’s simplest just to describe it as ‘peaceful’.
I am very much enjoying my home in Austin. My trip to Los Angeles, Bangkok, and Koh Samui was great– but with those places came a different sort of enjoyment. Those were stimulating; vibrant. Home is serene. I can feel my mind and body healing. I’m home.

I liked the photo they took of me for my interview with TheMuse

I made a mix for my work. I find it difficult to play music that is agreeable, but still listenable for myself. I realize it’s all in my head. I can’t get over my self-perception that I’m off in the deep end. As a result, this is me extending the biggest olive branch I could find.
(It’s called Lizzie’s Nook because that’s the name of one of our offices… and this is me in my little nook)

Time flies, man. I’m going to bed tonight counting my blessings and giving thanks. There’s a lot of beauty in the world. A lot of pain and hurt, but a lot of beauty, too.

While in Seoul, I was invited to play on korean pirate radio
December 21, 2016, 4:37am
I’m looking out my window in Seoul and I see a cold frigid, dead, grey sky. Looking at the news feed lately it’s anger, fear, and pain. 2016 has been such a strange year.
But the personal conversations I’ve had lately– time spent with real people– have all been so very warm and bright. When forces out of your control bring dismay, you’d be surprised at what intimacy in those around can protect or heal. Thank you to all those who have been beams of light and certainty in a time of darkness and unknowns.
Here are a few things that have brought me happiness or touched me positively lately: A lovely Thanksgiving with my beautiful family. The news of proposal of Tim and Jinni, committing to nurture their deep and genuine love for each other. The people I’ve met in Korea thus far for such an inviting, accepting welcome. The positive outpour of love and support for the unfortunate loses in San Francisco.
The graduation into winter, the approaching holidays, my current trip to 4 countries around the world… all has me thinking about cycles, seasons, and the continual up and downs. We keep moving but also keep coming back. Enjoy what you have, what’s around you, and look forward for what’s still to come. We’ll be back.

Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person - The New York Times
NYTimes: Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person

“The tenant pondered. “Funny thing how it is. If a man owns a little property, that property is him, it’s part of him, and it’s like him. If he owns property only so he can walk on it and handle it and be sad when it isn’t doing well, and feel fine when the rain falls on it, that property is him, and some way he’s bigger because he owns it. Even if he isn’t successful he’s big with his property. That is so.”
And the tenant pondered more. “But let a man get property he doesn’t see, or can’t take time to get his fingers in, or can’t be there to walk on it—why, then the property is the man. He can’t do what he wants, he can’t think what he wants. The property is the man, stronger than he is. And he is small, not big. Only his possessions are big and he’s the servant of his property. That is so, too.”

“…Therefore, to be truly happy, what we must do is lead an interesting life. The more our life engages us and the more changes we experience, the happier we can be. It helps if you see failure and disappointment as an interesting learning opportunity rather than a crushing defeat.”

Had fun dancing the night away and running amok around Williamsburg with this trouble maker.
Now it’s back to focusing on work, my future, no long term goals. Still, was a damn good time.May 03, 2016, 3:50am
