It's Been A While

I know it's been a while since my last post. This semester has turned out to be busier than I had anticipated. Much busier. For instance. I teach at a local high school from 7:30am to 2:00pm 5 days a week. Then, on Mondays I go to work from 4:30pm until 10:30pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a class at 2:30pm and on Thursdays I have a second class at 5:00pm. I tutor at another local high school on Wednesdays at 2:40pm until 5:30pm! On Fridays I work the same as Mondays. On Saturdays I work then too. Sunday I have to do everything that isn't done for the next week, including all work for my two classes and all work corrected or created for teaching. Fun huh.

Beats the hell out of me when I'm going get to have any fun again. Probably never. At least that's how it looks now. If I even get dinner with friends anymore, that's pushing it. I'm the bad guy because of it too. I'm the bad guy because I have so much to do that I'm being apparently very anti-social and very rushed. I'm the bad guy because I'm focused on helping my students pass instead of getting out early. Clearly I'm the bad guy.

So it's not my idea of a great time or whatever, but it isn't my fault either. I can only do my best. And sometimes, unfortunately, it isn't good enough for some. I know that I have to find a way to smooth out the wrinkles of this semester. It's tricky, but I am trying.

A Thought

Simple people see things in simple ways with simple solutions. Complex people see things in complex ways and with complex solutions. Neither are inherently wrong or right. They just are.

My Own Mind

The human mind is a duality.  That is to say, there are two people inside most people's heads.  It is the interaction of these two entities that determines who you are.   The first is the sum total of all of your experiences, it is a body of knowledge that you reflect on when thinking or meditating.  It is not the consciousness that we traditionally think of as our mind.  It's behind that.  It's the voice that alters your mood, makes irrational fears float to the surface in times of stress, and ultimately has a significant impact on you as a person.   The second is your consciousness.  It is the core of you as a person.  It is the voice you hear in your head when thinking or reading this sentence.  Some do not have that voice, incidentally.  For instance, those that are born deaf often have that "voice" represent as images.  Others simply don't have it.  This voice is the real you.  It's the part that you in...

My Last

 My previous post was found as a blank page in draft form this evening.  I found the existence of it to be rather poetic.  So I published it blank as is over a year later.  Seems fitting to be honest.
