Going Mobile!!!!! Again

We have decided to move again!!! We're going back east. Currently we're looking at North Carolina but we're are leaving ourselves open to just about anything. I can't quite pinpoint what it is, call it "a calling, a yearning, a feeling; All I know is I have this intense feeling to move back east.

Arizona is beautiful and I have discovered a new appreciation for the outdoors and nature. This land of big sky is truly remarkable. But I do miss the change of seasons, the green and the trees. It's amazing when I lived in Pa how I took all of that for granted.

It's funny I feel the excitement of a child opening their first gift. I didn't realize how much I missed it. The only thing I have to do now is be patient (which I have a very hard time doing). I have been to three interviews already and they have been offered to someone else. Although frustrated, I have learbed from all three. I know it will happen when it's suppose to happen, I just have to keep reminging myself. :o)

hoping your well

Miscellaneouse ramblings

in a state of influence from a liquid we created (smirnoff ice) to let go of the ego mind or better yet to release us from it.

My oldest duaghter told me the other day that she was told by some other art students that you are not an artist unless you do drugs. This got me pretty upset, even though I knew what they were trying to say I didn't like the message. I did my fare amount of substances when I was younger. I did some really intense writing during these episodes. When I woudl review my writing I was impressed by the honesty and lack of inhibition. So I would understand why someone would make a statement like "you're not an artist unless you do drugs". But... you don't need to do drugs to be an artists. the beautiful thing about being an artist is that an artists communicates from a different perspective and medium. Some are better when they do drugs but many are without doing drugs. I am not saying that you need to or not need to do drugs, Even though I do not like them I think that is an individual preference. WHat I'm saying is that drugs do not the artist make. The artist is you whether you do drugs or not. The beauty that is us through our expression is what makes us artists. Like anything else, some of us are better than others but that doesn't diminish our own ability to express what we feel. It just means that those who can dothis more easily are called artist. Just like those who can run faster are called athletes. Everyone can run, just some people can run faster and farther.

any who.. those are my miscellaneouse ramblings for the day

Can't Smile without U!!!

I had a terrible day today at work. One of those days where no matter how hard I tried, I could not shake off those bad feelings. My Honey was trying really hard to get my spirits up but nothing was working. Nothing until she asked me to record this song for a friend of hers for a joke. Listening to the lyrics brought a smile and deep sense of gratitude for this beautiful person who cares so much about me. SO this is for you honey.......

Beautiful Music

This is another great piece from Anael and Bradfield. It's called Padmasambhara. I don't know what it means or what the words mean but it is wonderful to listen too. I use it to settle me down and meditate. Wonderful song...

Downed Computer

My Computer is no longer working. In fact I'm writing this from a laptop I barrowed from work. My daughters were in our room with food and drink (which they're not supposed to be) and spilled a whole cup of water on our computer. So today I'm taking it to Best Buy to see if it can be repaired or if I have to try and get a whole new system. In the meantime I found this really cool video, or it found me.

Nipple Gaurds

I've been running again for a little over 5 years. I lesson I learned hard was to always wear nipple guards on long races. When I first started racing I was told about this and warned that if I didn't do it my nipples would bleed from the constant rubbing on the shirt. I scoffed thinking that people were joking with me and pulling my leg. That was until a particular run in December a couple of years back. I ran the race and my nips wear burning but I didn't know why until a woman passed me pointed to my chest and said "Oh I feel for you". I looked down and noticed two read spots where my nips are; Lessoned Learned. When I was getting ready for this years marathon I realized I forgot my nip guards and was pretty distraught. I was staying at a friends house and his wife offered me her pasties ( I think that's what they call them). From what I understand woman wear them when they wear dresses that they really can't wear bras with. I really had no choice so I accepted the offer. Hence the picture below. It's hard wearing flowers over your nips but they worked great.

BAck in AZ

We're back from the east. It was a fun trip! I just looked at the video below on my other post and I look pretty creepy in that opening shot. OOOF!

Anyway the marathon went well, I ran a slow time but I have to say I really enjoyed the run. I ran with an old running buddy and it was great running together and catching up on things during the run.

We also visited some old friends in PA where we got to play in the snow! That's right it had snowed 10 inches the day before we landed so we had a blast. Snow ball fight...Woo Hoo!

It was a very hectic get away. We landed in philly drove to staten island, drove to PA, drove back to NYC, drove back to north east pa and drove to Philly. OOF!

It was nice to go back, I was getting very home sick for the trees and season change and other things. We woke up the first morning and were pretty excited to find frost on the car! I was telling my wife "are we strange or what?" Being there, I feel, grounded me again. I feel much better now and have a greater gratitude for where I live now as well as the northeast USA.

It's funny usually the marathon is the zenith of the trip but I think this year it wasn't and I'm pretty happy about it. It was also my wife's birthday and we had a great time celebrating and just being with the kids and showing them NY. I think the highlight of my trip was when I was on the beach with my kids and I realized just how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful family.

To my wife, Happy Birthday Honeybun, I love you. And to my kids, I cannot put into words just how much I love all of you and how much you all are a part of me.

Hope you enjoy the pics...

Dancing in the Car

We were on our way down to New york from PA. I was still pretty punch drink from lack of sleep and I guess we were bored so here it is. Me and the girls doing our thang!!!! in the car!!

Going home for a visit

Tomorrow night we fly out back east. We have a red eye leaving at 11:55 PM. The NYC Marathon is this Sunday and I'll be running it. I really don't know how many more if these I will be able to do so I try to make each one special.


I say going home because go back east still feels like home to me and I think to my family also. Even tough we enjoy being in AZ and we've done well I still get very home sick for PA, NJ and NY.

I heard it snowed 8 inches were we used to live so everyone is very excited to go back to some snow. It's been in the 90's here and we really haven't seen any snow for about 2 years now.

I'm hoping when I get back I'll have plenty to write about. Lately I think I've been going through bloggers block. Life seems like it's been too busy. Maybe that's a sign that I need to slow down again, take a deep breath and look around.

Nice Quote

Found this quote below on a fellow lightworkers site. Thank you starkid.


"Don't worry, Mistakes lead you towards perfection"

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." Albert Einstein

The Ecstasy of Gold

I don't know if you've ever watched the old Clint Eastwood Movies, like the Good the Bad and the Ugly. I used to and I loved them back in the day. I also really liked the music. I just discovered that it's Ennio Morricone who wrote the music. So I went and downloaded all the tunes. This one is one of my favorites, I just heard it in a commercial also. Hope you enjoy

Andy Goldsworthy

My daughter Nicole is studying Andy in School and she turned me on to him. I consider his work fascinating and wanted to share it on the blog. I watched his video and thought him a little eccentric but I don't know anyone who's not. Below is a piece about him from one a website.

Andy Goldsworthy is a brilliant British artist who collaborates with nature to make his creations. Besides England and Scotland, his work has been created at the North Pole, in Japan, the Australian Outback, and in the U.S.

Goldsworthy regards all his creations as transient, or ephemeral. He photographs each piece once right after he makes it. His goal is to understand nature by directly participating in nature as intimately as he can. He generally works with whatever comes to hand: twigs, leaves, stones, snow and ice, reeds and thorns.

Good Morning Starshine

Every once in awhile I like to change what I'm doing. It could be anything from clothes, shaving my mustache, taking a different way home, etc.... Today I felt like listening to ,what I call, 60's flower songs. I listen to some mommas and poppas, etc..
But the song that really got me was Good Morning Starshine, OOOF!! I had to sing this when I was in chorus in junior high and ever since then it really appealed to me. My daughter listened to this with me and said I was gay...... So I'm gay big deal. :o) I really like the song. I put two versions on. Even though I like the new one, I still prefer the old one. I guess that's what happens when you're older.

Global Coherence Project

I just discovered this new site and new initiative. This resonates deeply within me and I want to make as many people aware of this project. the web site is

http://www.globalcoherenceproject.org/

I discovered it while looking up Greg Braden's web site. One of the reasons his site and this project appeal to me is because being the technician that I am I sometimes need a scientific explanation to better understand some things. Although I have become more intuitive that tech side to me is very strong. From what I gather these folks are mostly researchers and scientist and it's very interesting and gratifying to see that they're discovering things that certain people have felt and taught for centuries but weren't part of main stream culture. They do sound a bit dweebish but I'm a person who prefers more emotion so take that with a grain of salt. :o)

Please take a look and see for yourself

Strange Dream Sept 6 2008

Really quick. I had a strange dream that I just remembered parts of. Forgive the lack of details. I was with a Chinese Group and there was a Chinese Lady who was an elder or a teacher. She was talking to me going over a list she had in her hand. This list was things or traits I was supposed to achieve. According to her I was just about 1/2 way there but had some to go. these were a varity of things, like patience and certain psychic skills. I know she said intuition was to be a focus as of late. She made a Hmf sound like I better get going. There was more to the dream but I cannot remember. This part I remember the most clearly

The Latest

Well my birthday just past and now I'm 43 years old. I continue to be fascinated by the fact that I'm in my 40's. I truly feel like a 25 year old. Though my body reminds me from time to time (more on that later). My daughters made me a beautiful cake that I truly appreciate and love. I haven't had a piece yet but I will before the night is over.



I ran a half marathon on my birthday and didn't do too bad. I took 14 minutes off my last half which is really good. For you runners I did it in 2 hours and 11 minutes; that's roughly 10 minutes a mile. I'm hoping to break 2 hours on my next half in 2 weeks. Anyway, I hit the wall with 2 miles to go. I pushed myself a little harder than i should of and my body reminded me that I'm in my 40's (told ya).All of this is in preparation for the NYC Marathon Nov 2. Which I am deathly afraid of in terms of doing poorly in the race. I think this is going to be my last NYC Marathon and my last with my family. Josh graduates this year and he wants to break out when he does. Hence we want to make this event special. I want to do a personal best. My best NYC is 3 hours 59 minutes.. Wish me luck..
