    Hi-ho and hello.

    Since I’m coming with a Jungian philosophy and I love me a good quote here and there I figured let’s bring in some focus.

    To start; a quote from the great philosopher:

    “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” –Carl Jung

    I personally, I feel that we do both. There is a grasp to the awakening for the cognizant aspect of what life is, but I also share a likened dreaming that I think our minds are designed to create. Maybe it’s to be a stoking fire, something raging and igniting a wanting to the things that are just out of reach.

    But that’s the thing life is perplexing. And it’s not just black and white, it’s a kaleidoscope whirled dreaming of bliss and wondrous color, isn’t it?

    Let us look inside though, I’ve been intending on dropping a post earlier in the day, however I had some painting today for a Wonka day coming up and that’s outside of my scope for what is here.

    Some things are meant to be private, right?

    It’s maddening chaos at times, the piles of things build and build with the time being an incessant groaning tuck always tick-tock, tick-tock.

    It leaves a desire for a self  meditation/soothing which calls to deep sit downs with music. As much music as I can plug into. I love the nuances of the lyrics, the inflections of desire, vile disgust, pandering love spurting from the seams, these things rule my bones with a desire to understand humanity. To listen to the voices around and soak in their thoughts, but the time…the f****** time, hmmm, never seems to be enough…or I hold myself to a standard of question and undecided direction that has me spinning, spinning, and spinning til I’m sick of it.

    This is why the music is shared. I call to you to take on the task of reading what I write and tying it to the music shared, how it connects like a the knot that’s in my head. It is like this…or this is an example. I think of painting, brings thoughts of canvas, thoughts of Basquait, makes me think of Goeth, makes me think of Cummings, makes me think of Vonnegut, makes me think of Jung’s Pillars, makes me think of aliens in Vegas, makes me think of Dizzee Rascal, makes me think of a thumping, a rumbling makes me think I need water.

    If it explains the times, the rhetoric, the flow, I hope it does.

    Enjoi!!!

    Good night and good morning, good morning and good night you beautiful souls. I truly do thank you for the support. I hope I can bring an encouraging for one another, supporting one another, thank you very much everyone.

    Hi-ho and hello.

    Trying to be positive through life calls for a large amount of energy doesn’t it? At least this is something that I find through the days that creates a lamenting for the time, for this unforeseen loss of something forgotten but it’s due to a dedication in maintaining being a pillar for those we raise, for the ones we love, and want to bring happiness to.

    I feel Aurelius grasps a sensational idea of the emotions we hold to burden our hearts and minds daily and how we process the anguish, the frustration, and how much we let it become a fastidious adversity to our wholes.

    I talk from experience, as I let so many worries and anxieties become an object and variable to the completions of the days. In just being a partner to my wife, guiding my son toward being somewhat independent, at least enough to ask for help for himself, and making sure the night ends on a good note, it calls for a methodical plan to being positive, refraining from the negative realities, even if they’re just from myself or an idea of us, it’s something that, yes can be thought of, but not given power to, given fuel for, in feeding the worries, in extrapolating to what it is that festers, you let it grow, and it becomes a manifestation that is harder to tame.

    The worst part about letting it build and gain momentum with the negativity is it does affect our souls, it curates the behaviours and the way we create to the whole continuing on due to the fears you let take hold.

    So if you find yourself gaining the firing red frustrations or liquid worries that flow from side to side within the head, take a rest, take a breath, and before you react take a nap.

    Going to try to close each post with a song or playlist. Hope you enjoy.

    Hello and hi-ho readers and friends.

    I’ve been trying to juggle a few things together and hopefully, within the month, the site will be better curated for its purpose, but regardless I wanted to share a touch of self with power of purpose and spirit.

    Made using Canva

    I feel it pairs well with the phrase ‘keep it simple stupid’, the egregious it readily and very concisely addresses to simply keep it simple and yes redundant simply simple. Why not, am I right? Even thinking about the 80/20 that I’ve been talking about the last couple days, do I make it a big deal do I Fester on it, do I let it stew, or do I simply embrace the bit of time that I get to have with my wife as a married couple and be elated that I get to share my days with her outside of that 80/20, within that 80/20, and around that 80/20.

    Side note it was 80% leave me alone and stay out of my hair 20% be available when I want you.

    But again do we dig into the reasons why life is, and though this is a interesting circumstance and definitely a philosophical path, how much are we going to let it upset us? How much are we going to let it affect our choices and the steps we make? I’m still very much married, I still go to bed with my wife, keeping it simple is not struggling to get more when in all reality there is a malleable contentment, I am happy, and I like, no, I love the life I have. So why not keep it simple and with that does the simplicity bring us sophistication? It does, because it becomes something familiar and it becomes something nonchalant, organic, introspective, and enigmatic that flows through us like breathing, like wiping how’s your going to the restroom, it’s not that it’s mundane but practiced bringing that familiarity that knowledge and comfort. So that’s where my thoughts are maybe I had a Segway or two to which I digress. But I will share with you this a piece that will be popping up is something sincere and organic or something more personal. I hope you enjoy.

    Hi-ho and hello.

    Quote:

    “Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.”

    –Seneca

    I take stock of my life, I take stock of what is to come, and hesitantly breathe through the day by day. Difficulties certainly can strengthen, given I’m not Seneca, and personally though I agree with a quote, doesn’t mean it strengthens the mind every circumstance. Life is difficult, and yeah life throws us as many lemon, saw blade, trampoline, dybbuk box, what have you. Life throws us many a variety of circumstances and it is definitely a strengthening when facing these adversities, sometimes though the mind and body tire. Monday my least favorite of the days, I’m faced with challenges, difficulties, and what I choose to do is doodle, and play with my son, play video games together, you sweets together and relax. I’ll put to the planning and the organization to Tuesday I’ll share my passion planner plans and a week’s set of ideal steps forward I guess. As for today I’m going to sign out.

    C’est la vie

    Good night and good morning, good morning and good night wonderful readers. May You Have a Beautiful Day.

  • Day Seventy -Two, March 12, 2024

    Hi-ho and hello.

    To everyone that has taken the time to read anything that I post, I do have intentions of dropping a short story that I’m excited for, I have been editing a little bit more than I usually do on these kind of opportunities I take when I write. A lot of time I have it as a s***** rough draft that way, later down the road something pops up it will very much show the edits intended and this one will definitely make it to my anthology that I have planned for the end of the year.

    But on another note since it’s Tuesday I figured we’ll do a quote. Wednesday I’ll do poetry and I’m hoping to get some art up by tomorrow afternoon, we’ll see. I’ve been lazy and dealing with some other circumstances as recently posted so… Yeah we’ll see. *sigh*

    Quote

    “Life is never incomplete if it is an honorable one. At whatever point you leave life, if you leave it in the right way, it is whole.“

    -Seneca

    I hope my life can eventually be deemed honorable. After getting diagnosed years back I became ambivalent to what it meant, what life is and how the steps were to be made for life?

    I think it very much starts with deciding and seeing positivity in life. Yes, there’s going to be negativity, yes things are not always going to go the way we want to it to. In the words of The Rolling Stones “You Can’t always get What You want”.

    No life will not just flow the way we want, there will be adverse reactions, we will be faced with the myriad of adversities that come with living. And with it comes a question every day that we, ourselves, have to ask. ‘What is my purpose, why am I here and where am I going?’ and on top of that you have that question of are you going to decide to be positive today, or are you going to decide to be negative and see everything as an object against specifically and only you?

    Don’t forget though, there are going to be bad days, they’re going to be days that regardless of how much you may want to be positive, there may be some unknown cause or reason that has you hanging on to the opposition, hanging on to the things that drive you wild, holding on to the things that irritate you too much that you can’t just enjoy being. And then, I have to ask though if that is the case, is it worth the energy for you?

    These are daily thoughts for me, not just daily thoughts, but balancing stones that I use through my day or weeks, months, f***, hours sometimes that are used anyway to help keep me focused and I hope through using these questions, the philosophy, and the idea to maintain a positive outlook with a conscientious behavior or behaviors we can make life better. Maybe it’s wanting to change and learn, to be better, is what is honorable, it’s what deems the whole to being.
