I would like to know how to make all the different kinds of smiley faces too please. I like your cute lil owl in the hand too MIsswho. You’re nice.

That stuff about the sad clown made me really stop and think Scatty. I think I was in denial about the ritalin messing with my funny side a lil more than I wanted it to. There’s something to that “clowning around to entertain folks but feeling sad later” behavior. It reminds me of Tony Soprano talked to his therapist about when he was getting therapy and pretending he was “the prince of tides”. And me too. Feeling sad for no reason really sux. I’m glad it’s not bad like when I was depressed. It doesn’t happen all that often. But I should give it some attention. Just part of taking good care of ourselves, huh?

I think it’s something about loneliness. With me I think. I don’t know what its like for you. I think part of the missing puzzle pieces on this particular thing might be found when I meditate. Also, I just need to accept that life can’t always be a super action adventure comedy slapstick variety show every single minute. But I want life to be like that. I don’t even think that’s unreasonable. I guess I’m talking about what the Rolling Stones were singing about when they said “I can’t get no satisfaction”. It’s the low dopamine leaving us less satisfied probly. Most of humanity feels satisfied with a certain amount of fun. But maybe we just keep wanting more n more.

That’s why I sometimes talk about having the “disease called more”. cuz I can’t get no…

No

No

No

Hey

Hey

Hey

That’s what I say…

Devo did an excellent cover of that song. It’s great stuff. I found it but I’ve got some kind of virus or bug, or maybe my computer has finally been turned into a dang zombie (zombie networks) (that’s a hacker thing that slows your computers download speed to an unbearably horribly painful climb the walls with insanity kind of waiting for a song you want to hear to just load after a dang 30 second commercial feels like it took fifty thousand million hours. Grrrrr.) (it’s horrible) (especially if you like to listen to music endlessly on youtube.) here’s the link anywayz, hope it works for you guys. About 77% of the video’s on youtube don’t load at all on my computer the last 5 or 6 days. It’s melting my brain and making my heart scream bloody murder. I could maybe even cry…

OH COOL IT FINALY WORKED! ***grin*** check it out ukay?

“Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby” (I like this part of the song, it’s fun)

I think I’ll need to work more on this. I did a bunch of writing today about it in my journal. I’ve got to find something positive about it. I’m stuck with this wandering mind and the sometimes feeling sad stuff too.

You’ve got lucky students Scattybird. Sorry you feel sad sometimes though. You sure are not alone gal. I bet you already have compassion for your self. But maybe just try to have a lil bit more. N just care the same way you would care about one of your students. Only it’s about your self. And not self pity. Self compassion. I sometimes rub n massage the back of my neck to comfort myself. Try that, seriously. Exactly the same way you would comfort a sad friend. I’m glad I thought of this, now I’ll remember to do that to myself. It really helps. ****rub rub*** **massage rub rub*** Now I feel better!. Having some compassion for ourself is a cool spiritual thing.

You guys say funny stuff that makes me smile. like <<“it depends on whether your wanderings are all sunshine and lolipops, or dark and twisty “>> and <<“a wandering mind is ‘wanderful’! “>>

Yes indeed, it’s good to have “Oracle” type folks hanging around here.

Thanks gang.
