Planning and Music

I am sitting here waiting for something, I am not yet sure of what. I know the feeling and have had this feeling before.

There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is a willingness to comtemplate what is happening. -- Marshall McLuhan (1911 - 1980)

George Michael - "Precious Boy" (Shapeshifter Remix) playing in my headphones. A saltry move over to Free - from his "Older" album

By not being able to avoid this something, I feel it will not pass me by.

What is meant for you will not pass -- Anonymous 2009

Compliance of this, indeed (princeton.edu), cheerful in persuasion I can cogitate and reflect on the happenings.

"temnein" (greek) mania (greek) - or latin origin to cut or divide and mania being madness.

Happenings: life and what are current front of mind thoughts are.

Marshall McLuhan, Thank you.

Fitness Mantra

  • Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
  • Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.
  • Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

Tuesday

I repeat!

Is repetitive action virtuous action? If behavior and conduct are merely repetitive processes then all human relationships actually cease. If I behave mechanically every day, - repeating a certain code of conduct which I have learnt, which I find profitable, or which is pleasant, repeating that over and over again, - my relationship with you ceases, completely - I have become a machine. - J. Krishnamurti
