Flying at night...

...is always an adventure for me. The stars are so clear, and the city lights below are fascinating. Flying home from California last night, we were approaching SeaTac airport, coming around the circle on our way in for the landing. The fog was thick below us, with the lights of the Seattle area glowing under the cloud bank in various patches. We made the last turn, ready to make the final approach and the waning moon appeared low over the clouds, very large and very orange.

As we entered the clouds and headed toward the ground, we had almost reached the runway, when the pilot realized that he wasn't properly aligned and so up we went again. Though some people on the plane were a little freaked out by this, I was happy for another look at that moon. I wanted to stay up there, perhaps three or four more turns...

I decided that I should start my own reality show.

Getting lost in LA, and this is the result. (Oh, by the way, this is not really where Ive been hiding out. This was just a foray out for food and supplies)

Hairline Poll:

1. How many of my readers have a widow's peak? Don't be embarrassed to say, as I have one, and have had one all my life. (perhaps for any balding readers, I should ask, who has had one since childhood?)

2. Who has a Cowlick? (I also have one of these, and its quite annoying.)


I might add that as a child I used to get two words mixed up. (Crotch and Cowlick) Now that's embarrassing.

Have you ever had a conversation on instant messenger that is actually worth saving?
I just did.

T.S. Eliot "Rhapsody on a Windy Night"

Synonomous

We share the same moon but, we argue
whether the man on the moon
watches us down here on earth
or if she is a great lady
up in the night sky.
I find the moon smiles at me
from mud puddles and reflects
off skyscrapers in daylight
while you hold coins in the air
to make her disappear with your hand.
I am always looking for him
to rise, large and round.
You wait patiently for her
to appear on the next clear night.

Can I just vent a little? I mean this is my blog. I can write whatever I want, can't I? Sometimes I just think my roomate is the greatest person. I mean, she is really great.

but you know sometimes she is just so frustrating. It seems like every weekend when its time to do laundry, her clothes are in the wash. I come to the little laundry corner, with my large overflowing basket and what do I find? The washer and dryer are filled every time! EVERY SINGLE TIME. So you know what? I thought, ok, I'm an adult, she's an adult, we can work this out, right? So I sit her down this past weekend to talk, discuss, you know, come to SOME kind of resolution. Anything. I'd be happy. So she sits there nodding, going "uh-huh" "uh-huh" "yah" ....so on and so forth....so I think, great! it's all worked out. We've got a schedule, a plan.

WELL....this evening I come home and what do i find? my roomate, trying to make up for all the earlier headaches, well....she does my laundry!!! And she knows that I love bleaching stuff, so what does she do? She BLEACHES my DARKS! HELLO!

Oh I'm so angry right now.

oh, and by the way, don't tell her i told you all this....

A.P. hoping to see the light...

some people think this is a trip. no, i wasnt on a trip.

It can happen in a second. It is a matter of a switch of perspective. Pulling a string on a lamp, click, click. Light off, Light on. Just like that. It doesn't have to be a big ordeal. There does not need to be courtroom debate. Its a simple thing. Simple. And why doesn't it happen? That's the complicated part. Reason, experience, geography and so on...

Trust is simple.

Here's a site for all you movie go-ers:
Brian Godawa is Christian Screenplay writer who analyzes movies from their philosophies and worldviews. He is not doing what Ted Baeher does and other sites like that, analyzing how much sex and violence is in a movie. I think that his site (alongside others) would give a better picture of what a movie is about. Caution--he does spoil the movies for you, if you like to not know the story...

I get a little report on my blog each week that tells me the amount of page loads. I noticed that on this past Sunday, I had 57 page loads, but only 13 unique visitors. These page loads do not include my views as I have a little "cookie" stored on my computer that tells the counter not to count me. It seems that someone was coming back to my blog to look at something over and over. Very interesting.
