Cool Logic 1

Slow news day. Blogging from Bistro Cafe on 51st between Madison and Park. About to head down to the PIT for my level 3 improv intensive. Team auditions in January. I'll be there.

Study More. Stop Wasting Time.

This post is a little bit about everything.  I'm reading writing and studying.  Trying to throw as much shit up against the wall as possible (as always) and see what sticks.  I recently signed up to take the CSCS which is supposedly the highest rated personal trainer certification in the country.  I have 120 days to prepare.  At the same time I'm trying to find a good acting/improv/writing class to take.  I like the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater but their class availability is limited.  I'm also looking at the PIT and may sign up for a class there just so I can keep up with my skills and training.

In other news I'm writing a web series with my director friend Brandon Herman of the Digital Movie Company.  We are creating a dystopian cyber-punk universe in which our characters will live and interact.  I'm hoping to highlight current social, environmental and political situations that could damage our collective future in cool thought provoking episodes.  That's a bit of a generic explanation but I don't want to give too much away at this stage of things.

My goal for today is to (of course) live my life fully.  I have to acknowledge that this is the only day and moment that I have.  Also, knowing that distractions and other needs continually arise I must act decisively.  I need to study something with regards to health and fitness.  No wait, I actually and factually must go onto the National Strength and Conditioning Association's website and download the practice tests for the CSCS exam.  The questions in those tests will tell me what I need to study.

I'd love to talk more about life and love and spiritual things but this is all the time and energy I have for blogging today.  Until next time please know I have you in my thoughts.  I hope that through my work we are able to get closer and to have a greater understanding of our collective experience on this planet in this lifetime.

Push Button Endocrine System

I sit here encapsulated in the shell of my universe.  Nothing moves fast enough for me on the outside world.  Everywhere technology mimics what I can already do naturally, internally.  When I make up my mind to do something, it happens.  Something happens, whether I make a call, push a button, hire a helper, do it manually or even just have a though.  I push buttons.  My body even responds in a push button sort of way similar to the way in which a machine operator can control the arm of a crane with technically accurate mechanical dexterity.  My emotions control the buttons and the buttons are my endocrine systems.  A little adenine and I'm pushing my mental and limits, anger give me flashes of dangerous unbridled power.  Grief allows me to let go of what I have lost and when I'm calm and at peace I am able to function at a supremely higher level of efficiency.  It's as if in those moments I am connected to all things and am the conductor of the orchestra that I see is my life.  Others readily come to my aid.  Closed doors open more easily - both literally and figuratively!  How big am I actually?  I mean, how far beyond this body can I possibly reach?  With the touch of a few buttons I can manipulate events around the globe, what about the other side of the universe... Ha.  I can see and understand one thing for sure: No matter how far I travel and how powerful I may think I have become, I will never be truly free until I return to the source and share what I have learned with others who are starting down the same path.
