listening-to-nirvana-radio-music-for-meditation-and-relaxation

http://91.121.72.50:9106

I find this kind of music does relax me. Rock and rap and hiphop grate on my nerves
in my old age. Better to relax and meditate and slow down. Listen to what your mind
tells you. You can hear it if you turn other stuff off. That still, small voice inside us that’s
a piece of the Creator, put there so we can have a direct line to the Boss. No one needs
to be our go-between when it comes to conferring with and listening to that Infinite Mind.
Other people can just steer you wrong. Go to the Source. Don’t let someone else do your
thinking for you. Some people may be able to point you in the right direction but you must
do your own looking and finding.

I’ve tried to do some story writing tonight but am blank so far. No hurry. I guess it’s not
necessary to write one every day but maybe tomorrow never comes. My cousin Pam was
writing her own obituary in the form of a life story but she passed on before she got it completed.
I would like to leave something about myself behind or it would be as if I never lived. My
stories will live on somewhere in an internet archive so maybe I’ll leave something behind
that’s more than zero.

Want to leave your name in a chip on a Mars mission? Your name will be on Mars forever.
Go here while there’s still room for more names:

Beings in the far-off future who come across the vehicle sitting on the Mars surface will be
able to read your name and mine. I think that’s cool. Kind of like saying “I was here!”

nice-and-warm-here

To all my fellow United States citizens East of the Rockies who are
shivering to death, I would just like you to know that here in Oregon where
I live as I write this on Jan 11, 2010, the temperature is 66 degrees F and
the sun is shining thru a partly cloudy sky. Y’all live in the wrong place. It’s
warmer here right now than it is in Florida. The grass is green and there’s
some places where I know I can go down the street where flowers are still
blooming. Eat your hearts out. Don’t give up, though, warmth will return
to your areas someday. If you can just survive the single digit temperatures.
I know, as I used to live in Missouri. It was -3 F there a couple days ago.
Brrrrr! I don’t miss it.

enjoying-my-korg-m50

I picked up my new Korg keyboard at the music store on Tuesday the 5th
so I am now enjoying making music for myself. It is sweet. It makes a
zillion different sounds and combinations, drum tracks, etc., so it’ll keep
the boredom away for some time to come. Plus I get to brush up on my
keyboard skills, which are not good. Maybe I’ll really learn to play this time.

new-year-im-late

Well, here it is several days into the new year and I haven’t been able to come up
with any cute sayings or any great philosophical thoughts so I guess I’ll just say may
we all live for another year. Life can be short, even for you young people, so enjoy
every day while you have it because tomorrow you may be in the afterlife wondering
what happened.
