Giving.. Not Just Money, But You
Yesterday afternoon i started reading President Bill Clinton’s new book called ‘Giving’. I am only a few chapters into it but i can say that it will be one of my favorite books. There are some parts of it that are sad, but in a good way. The book shows you how people can give so little of themselves (or so much) and help to change the world. He explains that giving is not just about money, but people can do things within themselves to change the world. I am sure that most people wish they could change the world for the better and I guess this book can motivate those who feel unmotivated. This is a GREAT read and I suggest that everyone read it and become aware or how those little tiny things you can give to one person or to many can mean so much to that person or people. Everyone is capable of changing the world whether it be in a massive way or small. I want to do it through my music, someday. That is my dream, what is yours?
“We all have the capacity to do great things,” President Clinton says. “My hope is that the people and stories in this book will lift spirits, touch hearts, and demonstrate that citizen activism and service can be a powerful agent of change in the world.”
Power Of Now
The last weeks have been eventful and uneventful. I have been doing well with the affiliate marketing although I am not doing anything to make MORE money due to lack of motivation. Luckily, i am making enough money to get by and to save up without having to do any work but the fact that i am not doing any work is slowing me down and making me completely unmotivated to do anything other than write in my journal, write new material, think.. and think.. and think. Sometimes i am thinking so much that i feel like i am trapped inside of my head and i do not know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
Somebody gave me this book last week that i have been reading. I know.. i know, I do not like to read off of paper, but the weather has been nice enough that i can sit outside and read (the only place i enjoy reading on paper). The book is called ‘The Power Of Now’. It is pretty amazing and maybe life changing when i am done with it. Its weird to think that a stack of bound paper can change somebody. I like to think that people can change people, and I can change me, but a book? We shall see. I am sick of feeling like an asshole for all of the mistakes I have made and for all of the things that i have done to hurt others whether intentional or non intentional. If you know inside that you are a good person then you should do something to forgive yourself and KNOW that you are good.. even if the other person or people cannot forgive you. Anybody that says people do not change are so very dead wrong. I have changed, Ive seen people change right in front of my eyes.. sometimes good, sometimes bad but people (strong people) with will power can change anything and have anything that they want in life. anything.
A few days ago, I got to step outside of the house for awhile during the week. Usually I do not go running around town during the week other than when i am outside with Legend. I stay inside, i do yoga, i work out, i clean, i read on the computer, i attempt to do work and then I end up sitting and worrying about what will come to me next, who will come to me next. Its not a sadness, more of a contemplation. I am happy but something is missing and i do not know what it is. When I am outside, it all goes away and I think that i will get out more, until it is freezing of course.
My favorite place where i have peace of mind is close to my house. Most of the reading is done near a place called the Temple To Music. It hurts to be there in a way for reasons I care not to discuss right now, but in a way it also gives me peace. I just wish that people were not there. Every time i go, there is always somebody and i just want to be alone and enjoy the absorption. Here are some pix. Happy October!
Practice Makes Perfect
I have been practicing my lessons for weeks. I got some amazing software that teaches you how to play piano. I took lessons years ago, for years and it faded away. But like riding a bike is comes right back to you with practice. I have a few other ones i will be playing for fun later on in the week or next week. My voice is off and the i screw up a few notes so do not be harsh on a newbie 
Nazi swasticka complex at Coronado naval base – $600k Repair
Its funny how horribly people can screw up. I guess they plan on fixing it which will cost $600 thousand US Taxpayer dollars but i thought it was pretty funny. The photo was taken from google earth and the naval base is right outside of San Diego, CA.
Big Bang Or Global Warming?
This morning i was reading an article about a meteorite that smashed into the ground in Peru over the weekend. You can read the story here. It is scary because the actual fragment was small, but it created a hole that was 15 feet deep and 65 feet wide.
Global warming is happening.. but i always wonder, how will the human race expire. From the damage we are causing to the planet, or another big bang that wiped out the dinosaurs. If a big enough piece of matter from space were to hit us, we would be gone. Which will happen first? What do you think.. ?
