Decent Society

One of those days today... where the rush of being a real live adult human being with really big responsibilities to my family, myself and my *gasp* clients. I'm not used to having to add in another layer of self-awareness... the interaction of decent society. I debated blogging about it almost entirely... in the end I had to go ask The Husband if a major part of my intended blog subject was morally offensive and, should I go ahead and blog about my thoughts, I may no longer be welcome amongst normal people as a functioning version of a human being.

In the end, I have no confidence that divulging the inner workings of all that facing inward for today wouldn't make the entire blog world gasp and giggle around the water bottle stand (well, in our studio, we don't have a stand... in fact, I'm not even sure we have water bottles since I've never ever used one and really have no idea HOW water is helpful to that pose... it makes me feel more sticky). So I won't.

I had a couple of things wierd happen to me today though. I love when I have the presence of mind to think about what my day was like, how I behaved, how confident am I that I behaved as myself and that I'm being true to what my professed beliefs are. If I'm not, either the belief has to change or I do (this thin tightrope game we all play!). My fuel for the day was 4 hours of restless sleep and a grande mocha with no whip cream.

I had a client meeting. It was wierd. I can't even put my finger on the number of ways it was wierd. After the client meeting I was going through the emails on my phone when I got a notification of a new user at Ashtangi.NET. I don't usually read the names or keep track of who is a member or who isn't but this name jumped out at me. In a wierd twist, it was a parent I used to know from my very early years online and involved with "people" through this machine. It's a wierd thing to do but there are a few people I met and have spent time with "in real life" that are really amazing people. I remember this particular person because her nature is so serene and calm and she's very passionate. She's also the first person who told me that dark chocolate is really vegan. Sorta a small world when you think about it.

I'll skip over the morally questionable bits....

This afternoon when all the work was done, I took the kids to the comic store. We've never been to the comic store before but The Son is totally into these Stikfas and there is apparently one store here in San Diego with them... a comic store. They had a great time and it was nice to spend time with them.

I also ate a dark chocolate candy bar... the Roseberry one. Yum!!!

You're lucky the son hasn't developed a habbit for comic books! After 40 um plus years, it's one of my vices. Every Wednesday I hop down to "Fat Jacks" and roam through the newest editions and then spend more money then I ought to.

This post left me perplexed because I don't even know what you mean by "decent society"?

(I do agree about the water in "that pose" - it took me a little while before I knew what you meant...garba pindasana, right?)

In total we bought 2 Stikfas and 4 comic books... does this mean my son's wife is in for it :)

I meant "decent society" in the way it is commonly used, non insane, criminal element of society would be the reverse :)

Yes, garbha p

I know the feeling.

I've given up trying to fit into normal people's perspectives. its not worth the effort and I never turn out portraying myself in any true sense of the word.
At work, I help out as much as any other member of the team, but I'm sure that others trip out on me. I just don't fit into the "average" demographic.

F'em, I don't care what anyone thinks and I'm sure I'll never fit in.

I'm fine with that. At least my wife thinks me normal enough to stay with me. Or she is really good at lying to keep me around until the insurance policy matures.....
;)

Hi. Very pleasant info on Maqui Berry. I found your good blog while searching bing. For the last few days I’ve been trying to learn more. Specially anything to do with the diet talk. I’ve seen it all and my cousin keeps pushing her recent weight loss fad on me. So I’m happy I encountered you. Bye!
