What you enjoyed today

I had a very good talk about Saturday evenings disasterous chain of events with my bf. I said things that I had kept deep down inside for a long time, things that were painful to bring up but I feel much better. He does as well, to a degree, but still feels like a complete douchebag. As he should. I stood up for myself (which I don't often do) and explained many things and also explained that there is a breaking point to everything and I can no longer keep my mouth closed about any longer.

I enjoyed reading a very interesting interpretation of Samma-Sati:

Even brief practice with mindfulness makes it abundantly clear that the mind is heavily controlled by automatic reactions, catapulting us from one upset to the next. We spend much of our time living in brain-made stories and relatively little in the simple embodied experience of the present moment. Examining our lives with deepening levels of mindfulness, we can begin to develop a framework for relating to this reactive mind in a way that is less identified with what we think and feel. This makes it possible for us to let experience pass through and around us with less resistance and with more equanimity.As we do this practice, it also becomes more and more apparenthow our minds automatically and continually tend to interpret everything that happens in terms of Me. Mindfulness practice highlights in a very immediate, non-conceptual way that the “Me-story” (Packer, 2002) is the thematic focus of everything that makes me happy and unhappy: I feel good when the Me-story is enhanced and bad when it is punctured or deflated.

In the open, spacious awareness of meditation, we begin to develop a new sense of our connection to a wholeness of life that is not based in the separation between Self and Other. As the mind quiets, we get glimpses of the truth that personal consciousness is like waves forming on a large ocean of awareness. Just as waves are not separate from the ocean itself, “I” am not separate from the world. Such “non-dual awareness”, as it is called, engages the possibility of Being without quite so much attachment to Me and the representations of Me that I am identified with.

I had a good game on the court today, I was draining most of my shots. I love being 6'6", there's not a damn thing a defender can do when I have a fade away jumper.

Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin, grits with Gouda cheese melted into it, BBQ pit baked beans and two massive mugs of Snakebite.

I'm going to sleep well.

Good job, it can be hard to do, but its always better to bring things like this to light. Its not something you just "get past."

I don't know how old you are, but you are gorgeous, whatever age you are.

So we banged yesterday, probably around 7 o'clock, so there was plenty of day light left.

Then I fell asleep, in fact, I think I got a solid 10 hours of sleep last night.

It was fantastic.

I should do that more often.

[Charlie Boy II]

Yeah, the daylight screw and sleep is a pretty sweet deal.

[Junket]

Well, the screw was nice, but the sleep was really nice.

I feel you on that on so many levels. Sexy time is always available to me, good sleep--not so much.

Against all odds, I fixed the touch screen on my phone today, that makes me awesome for a week

I was on my way to whole foods driving on a side street when I came across a bunch of hollywood trucks.

Obviously they're filming something.

Anyway, as I was slowly driving through, I almost clipped one of the trucks because this california blonde was walking her little poodles with an tight open v-neck type blouse or something, I don't know, but her two, perfectly tanned, B cups were kissing and jiggling like there was no tomorrow.

My god I wanted to die.

I really enjoyed my last two work shifts. Such lovely patients I had.... also, the son of one of them was a walking miracle. He had broken his neck at a young age while surfing, was paralyzed for a few months, and made a full recovery. Then he had to have three separate open heart surgeries, and feels fine now. Modern medicine is simply amazing.

I enjoyed playing Settlers of Catan with my parents tonight.

Those are always bittersweet stories to my family. My mom, I know takes it hard working in the ER and all. Her own brother (20 years old) broke his neck in a car accident some 35 years ago but passed away due to his injuries. You always gotta wonder if it happened today would the outcome have been the same. I'm happy for your patient though. Him and my grandma kick it now though. I love that thought.

I'm high as hell off Lunesta too so this typing is slow mo and probably grammar kill.
