Becoming A Better Doer

      I almost passed again today. There’s an interesting documentary on about UFOs that I was watching, but I figure, I have such a busy weekend that I might as well knock it out, just in case. I decided to turn the TV off. It seemed to work well last week, and there’s no way I could stay focused while they’re talking about what they’re talking about. I do watch, and read, quite a bit about the UFO phenomenon. Now they’re even calling it Unknown Aerial Phenomenon. Like maybe if they use a different word, or letters, we’ll stop considering them to be little green men. Although I’m not even sure if we’re allowed to assume their gender. I would not call myself a believer. I’m definitely open minded about the whole thing. There are a lot of videos coming out that make it seem like something is happening. Being science minded, I have to believe that it would take such a monumentous effort for any beings to traverse the Universe, that it doesn’t seem possible that “they” keep coming here. However, if it is found to be true, I wouldn’t be completely blindsided. I do have absolutely no problem saying that I feel there has to be other life out there. The Universe is larger than our imagination, and to think that we are the only place where this miracle has occurred seems ludicrous. I only question whether or not they can get here, and then come and go as they please. At this point, I’m still in the: “I don’t think so” phase. Like many other intelligent people, I’m willing to change my mindset when given new data, and right now, it still seems questionable. Although, I will say, in sticking with full disclosure, it does feel like we might be on the verge of knowing. It seems like something’s about to happen. It also feels that a lot of people might see it the same way as I do: Finding out that there are aliens making the long trip would not make me hysterical.

     See what I mean? A whole paragraph, and that was with the TV off! Minimizing my distractions is good. Especially since I seem to have so much going on these days. I’m really having to keep myself focused on my time. Recently I have so many things to get to, that it’s becoming almost like a job to keep my creativity moving. It’s becoming abundantly clear that if you want to spend an hour on several different things, it’s going to take several hours to complete. I’ve got to pick and choose. And today, for this hour, I choose this. And I’m glad I did. We’re halfway through the year, and I haven’t missed a week yet! That makes me happy. Plus, yesterday being the Solstice has me thinking about things. We do personal updates on the Solstices, so I’ve been reflecting, and trying to manifest over the past couple of days. Hence, it only seems appropriate to reflect while I’m here. I used to write an hour a day. Now I write an hour a week. Not really trending in the right direction. Although, when I was writing an hour a day, I didn’t have a lot of other things going on at the time, so that was my time. I got a lot of work done then. I’m getting a lot of work done now too, it’s just not as space consuming. I like it though. It seems as though the path is becoming clearer. I can almost see the way. And hopefully by the time I see the way, I will have gotten myself significantly entrenched in the act of doing, and thus be able to step right up and step right in. At least that’s the way it seems. I have a difficult time telling people what I do. It seems to be a regular question: “What do you do?” I always wonder whether they’re just asking how, or if, I make money, or if they really do just want to get to know me. I’m never sure how to answer.

     I usually say: “It depends what day it is.” Which is true. Two weeks ago, I told you about going to shoot the TV show. I still can’t wait to see it! The day after that, the Calvins played an afternoon gig at a local brewery called Bolt in La Mesa. It was awesome! The event started at 2, we went on 3^rd, at 4. It was packed! I could not believe how many people were there. The bands were good, and the people seemed to really enjoy themselves. However, it did seem like the brewery was not ready for what was happening. They only had 1 bartender, and it was taking half an hour to get a beer. Semi-sober punks don’t appreciate having to wait that long. Tonight my wife and I are going with my dad to the La Mesa car show. It’s kind of cool, lots of old cars, obviously. But we’re also going to try to spread the word that the Eruption is playing tomorrow night at Helix Brewing. We’re excited about the show. We go on at 6, which is perfect, no one can complain about it starting too late. It’s also good because on Saturday, the Calvins are playing an all-day festival in Oceanside! On Saturday, the bands start at 1. We don’t go on until 7, so I’m going to have to do my best to stay functional. But, since the Eruption show is early, it means I probably won’t be out late, so I can wake up early, since it takes about an hour to get to Oceanside. So here it is Thursday afternoon, and it feels like next thing I know it’ll be Sunday. I’m glad I had a weekend in-between. Last weekend all I did was have dinner with my parents, and sister. I like being busy, but sometimes, I wonder why I say yes to everything. Well, I’m trying to be a better doer, I’ve already told you that. And I won’t say yes to something unless I really want to, and think I can, do.
