I'm feeling a little agro, maybe just dull or numb, not sure. It's been a good few days though otherwise. But I think the lack of physical activity is catching up to me, plus I haven't meditated either. I'll make sure to tonight.
8in/20cm of snow so far. Leaving Golden was supposed to mean that I wouldn't be snoed in any more. I hate being confined to a limited territory, even though I haven't expanded said territory much lately. But I think I know this neighbourhood pretty good now. Nice size, definately not a cookie-cutter suburb, lots of uniqe weird houses. and ocean views. Some nice trails to. My dog, Duke, can run for like 4km straight, when I'm riding my bike. There's a river really close, but it smells like fish really bad. Maybe I'll shovel driveways tomorrow and make some cash. or maybe I'll just volunteer. I think I'll do it for free for some older folks. I really wish i had volunteer experience. actually, what I really want is to be able to volunteer and do something, ANYTHING for the tsunami-affected areas. I wouldn't even mind being right at ground zero. i know that sounds naive. maybe it is. but i really wanna help. fuck apathy. I think it would be an incredible experience, even though it would probably scar me. but at least I'd be helping. It's not like I'm going to fight in Vietnam. I'd like to see if I could see past the suffering and see the hope and be filled with a sense of purpose. like a sucide bomber. did i just say that? hmm, i think i'll leave that. I was watching CBC one day (like the only TV I watched last year, mind you) and there was a program about the Ethiopian famine back in the day. What really got me stoked was that some communities up north, like in the Yukon, raised more money per capita than any other city or town,e ven though they're some of the poorest places in the country. Something like 50 bucks per person. fuck that's awesome. poor in some respects, rich in others. I full expect that when I go to Cambodia, one of the poorest places around, I'll find richness unparalleled in our rich little country. They have nothing, but they could show you us a thing or two about how to smile.... and mean it....
i feel better now. thanks compassion...

whats up Dan? i just have a couple things to say the first is that i think this web site is a great idea and that listening to more radical ideas such as the topics posted on your site, will hopefully free some minds and open many more.
i also have a question to ask...a question of love.
Is it possable to love someone so much that even when they hurt you, you find it impossable to hate them back?
peace,love unity. your fiend and bro, Clayton
