Trimming the Fat

weeding through my entire blog--there are almost 1400 posts! quality over quantity; getting rid of stuff that seems irrelevent or misplaced or superfluous or otherwise dissatisfactory.

saw a great documentary on the History Channel today about Hitler's family. turns out there are still a few living in the US! they've also had a good series on the SS, but, most importantly, tomorrow night they start the entire "Band of Brothers" series! i never tire of watching it.

literally! i'm 15 pounds lighter with muscle to boot. can't believe it. cutting sugar and flour really works.
started bob tonight, just love it. i'd like to get the soundtrack.
dentist on friday.
i'd like to get my blog to about 1000 posts. quite time consuming. turning in is the answer, not out.
growth, expansion, new life. it's about time. i am so stale, and i can hardly breathe in here. the window hasn't been open for ages, and i cannot feel fresh air on my face or see the out of doors.
it's all right there.

Hi thanks for your comment at my place. Yep blogging or designing your blog is fun. Discriminate posting will make it more alive.
And discriminate viewing (visits) of other blogs, leaving comments will bring return visits.
Hope you are enjoying your Sunday!

PS - Don't forget if you are blogging and posting comments, you are not gossiping, you are designing webspaces, communicating freely, and debating anything and everything depending on your interests.

no fictions on my blog (that i'm aware of!). thank you for your kind words about my family and education, such as it is. i think you take a more philosophical view of suffering than i do. i'm talking about being in the moment, with pain-induced rage and wanting to lash out. more later.
the problem with my blog is that it's probably too much info about me--it hasn't even occurred to me to make anything up. i have not yet struck a balance btwn opacity and transparency!

Well Diana, a lot of the stuff on the blogosphere is fantasy
But there is also a lot of fact and factual reality, but that again you would probably ask whay is 'factual reality' and can we trust the evident. Keep it real, but you haven't answered the Harvard summer camp link, was that real - and what was your field???

Real pain as in I feel the world is going to collapse around me or my heart is going to break?
Real pain, as in I need a dentist or morphin, quick quick physical pain - burning pain???
Though I hear some people can even walk on hot coals...

Balance between opacity & tansparency. I thought we were going to be clear, I'm not a mind reader, but either:
1) I tracked your visit via sitemeter and left a hello
2) you comment at another bp place
3) Diana is not your 'real' name and I know you by some other in blogosphere. penname pseudonym???

I hope you are not going to give me scores out of 10, this early in the game. Try and look for my right side and you'll find my bright side, try and look for my bad side and you'll discover your darkside.

I tread the walkboards and blogosphere 'uncloaked' hoping to attract only the good, however I cannot always guarantee how people will react to what is said or misunderstood.

Hi Diana, now I know who you mean.
She visited me, I returned the message left a comment to say hello, that is where you saw me -
however my comment is gone and she never came back to me with a return hello!

Anyway please feel free to visit and comment at my place, and I'll continue to visit and comment here if I'm welcome.
All the best!

Q--how strange. your comment is on her blog, still; i assumed you were a scientist/friend of hers. i also assumed you reached my blog through hers; how did you find my blog?

I check to see who has been looking in to my place thru sitemeter (which you can fin under my bunny hero and get for free).

Sometimes I visit those who visit me and don't comment, and return their visit, and if I like the ura of their blog, leave a comment - my calling card if you like

If they the return the visit and comment at my place, then this thread or link is established, and we enter into banter & thoughts and beautiful photos or pictures and notes.
And so online relationships grow.

be careful what you through away. yesterday's disasters can be today's learnings. we edit our past to fit today's image of ourselves. Those old posts could serve as a serious reality check someday! Namaste. Richard

We Are Human

it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.

The Clear Light of Day

my mom helped me put a piece of the puzzle into place today. it's all about clarity; and the more clearly i see it for what it really is, the more able i am to let go of it. we had talked about abuse and repeating behavior patterns, etc., and agreed that we were both committed to doing things differently. the abuse began to sneak in, though, and i can see that sh*t coming a mile away and knew exactly what it was when it hit. and, i didn't believe it. in retrospect, that's what it was. a kink in her operating system she wasn't dealing with. automatic danger. it's one thing if folks are prepared to deal with all of their stuff, but if they're in denial about anything, it's just going to get larger and larger until something is done. it was always going to go in just one direction. the signs were there. there really is such a thing as "too good to be true." if that's "too good to be true," then what's the real deal? where...
