SoC # 29
October 29th, 2009
- That Yankee game was a bummer in both senses that they lost and it wasn’t so enjoyable to watch
- wanted to go for a run but no breaks in the rain
- still its great to have the local team in the big show this year
- have to make time to try that vietnamese sandwich (bahn mi?) soon
- flipping thru a lifetime fitness book and it seemed to offer nothing new on first glance but
- further reading has chanced upon a couple new ways to look at things
- it seems to be geared towards fitness professionals and I’m thinking if that profession
- could have a sea change like say meterologists have had in the last decade
- what a momentous turn society could take in this next generation
- but the stats are agin’ us with over 60% fat or obese
- yet if many people chose to balance out their lives with some stress busting exercise
- say over the next 2-3 years
- which I believe will be quite taxing on our nerves
- as the economy see saws a bit
- and we won’t know to be optimistic at just the wrong times and
- hopes will be dashed as things seem to be recovering and its safe to wade out into the deep areas of the economic waters again
- experimenting with dawn simulation and white and blue lights on a timer
- its supposed to ward off SAD but sitting in front of lights seems like such a bore if you can’t fit in some other activity
- so with dawn simulation I’ve got a timer and some LEDs fashioned together to light up the bed area about 30 minutes before my alarm goes off
- it does seem to work, I awake better and sometimes I don’t need the alarm
- but I have it aimed up and reflected back down on me off the ceiling so that its not so intense, but after another week or so
- I might turn it around and see how shining directly feels
- funny how its something from a 1960’s spy movie that I found so cool as a kid
- and now I get to play with it
- the jet setting, woman in each port, world saving lifestyle could be cool to live for a few months too
- but that’s hollywood
- NYC is a pretty good approximation of the world, but without airport delays
- and we get most of the climates
- I gave a girl a christmas present today as
- I am notorious for present giving without temporal relevance
- or in other words time and dates are such an inconvenience when you discover a great present
- and in the other cases you get inundated with presents anyhow on your birthday, holidays, etc anyway
- and the lack of a present then is nothing compared to the addition of a random present on say any given Wednesday in October
- and its the type of present that lets her create presents for others
- so some advance timing before christmas works out too
- hmm is that Euro turning down or is it gonna break upwards?
- that’s what makes it so interesting – it takes on a personality for a while
- then morphs into something else for a while
- or sometimes runs along in one direction for months
- missed a great move this week as work intrudes on my focus
- but there’s always another train leaving the station
- just that that train produced 150% in the span of a lunchtime
- liked Peaceful Warrior, both the book and the movie
- what was it again? Mystery, humor, and change…
- reading a couple books I bought a while ago but neglected when life got busy
- one on kaizen, and another on mindfulness
- and realizing I really need to write down things more…
- as I had one of those moments when seemingly disparate things came together in
- a true moment of clarity
- well here’s to new trade setups, meeting some new and interesting people, letting go of the need to control the future, and maybe some natural sunlight tomorrow
- but the blue dawn comes up right on schedule over my bed now.
