042008: Anniversary & and . . .

Finally got my fingers to type. My wife & I are

celebrating our 7th year of marriage, and a total of 10

years together. Playing outtakes from a soundtrack that

peter gabriel did for the movie "Passion: The Last

Temptation Of Christ" as I also have the tv on and the

Pope saying mass at Yankee Stadium. Also watched the

Pope at Ground Zero, and it made me appreciate the

power of faith, as I watched those who came before

him. I hadn't really made up my mind re: Benedict

XVI, but I see him now, as I do the Dali Lama. Seems to

be generous of spirit.

Anyway, my wife's parents made the haul up from

Florida, and are settling back into their New York

groove. (apologies to Ace Frehley of KISS fame.)

I find it funny that I've been hesitating for so long, to

do an entry. I've been trying to keep up with my fellow

bloggers, but haven't felt I had anything worth typing.

I'm grateful for those who stopped by and commented

on my last entry. I may even decide to go back and re-

read some of my earlier entries.

With all the strife and negative vibes going on in the

world at the moment, I'm just grateful for having my

wife & Dino by my side, that, and a roof over our

heads.

I'm back in the employment game, going on phase III,

to obtain an insurance position, will know, hopefully by

Tuesday, if I'll be offered the position, or not.

I'm also dredging my memories, foolishly wishing I

could return to certain moments in time. In instances

like the aforementioned, as I step outside myself, to see

myself, I realize how selfish a process this is.

And after an hour trying to play records on this "all -

in - one component system" and having the needle go

haywire as I try to play some fave vinyl, and I have a

protection plan on the unit, but as a "modern man", I

want it to work for me now! That, and whilst trying to

replace the black ink cartridge in the printer (a very

simple thing, mind you!), and following the printer

spec's, I keep getting an error, and all attempts to

troubleshoot, have just given me more of a headache.

Listening to "Kiss Of Life" (live), on cd, from peter

gabriel, circa 1982, and trying to re-establish some

sanity. Gone are the old days of just wanting to smash

the offending objects, yes, I can/could be that childish,

in moments of non-clarity. How old am I again? And 

will I ever learn. Like being told not to touch the hot 

stove, and touching it anyway, to really see it it is hot. 

Dumb-ass comes to mind, but I think I can move on 

from here at the moment. 

You'd think that within the space that I haven't 

blogged, that I'd come into the new entry with

something profound. Yet, I've got nothin'. 

I should be up to challenges at this point, as I haven't 

been maximizing my time. At least I can appreciate the

music & band as I listen to "Not One Of Us" (live) with

peter surrounded by enthusiastic musicians such as 

David Rhodes on guitar, Tony Levin on bass, Jerry

Marotta on drums, and Larry Fast on keyboards.

What a band! 

And it's 1 of those days where, as usual, I'm

questionning everything, and worried about

punctuation and spelling, as I wonder if this is really 

wasting time, or am I actually contributing? So much

to think about, that I'm thinking in circles and not 

reaching any results, or am I? 

Should simplify things to a basic, love, as I have for my

wife & Dino, and build on that. Yet, as a practicing 

dumb-ass, I'm too busy thinking 'bout everything at 

once, and instead of actually taking steps, I'm sittin' 

here, with sunlight streaming in, typing like a fiend,

and . . .
