I’m only half-kidding.

Okay, maybe more like three quarters. I do think this is cool, though.

I’m starting to like this guy

Barack Obama talks health care in Iowa City:

I still don’t know enough about him, and the open question with any politician, I think, is “can I really trust him (or her)”? Still, he’s at least making the right noises.

And, forgive me, but when it comes to that visceral “star power” quality, I found myself thinking, as I watched this, “here’s the next Bill Clinton”.

In the moment

Posted in Main on May 24th, 2007 by Markus

It’s all about being in the moment, being very and fully there. It cuts across everything: playing music, reading, writing (the act itself and the mechanics: writing, typing). . . .

There are topics I have which associate to this. There’s a life-long issue with maladroitness, but also remission in particular situations, or under certain circumstances.

That’s nice vagueness, I know, but it’s here to mostly help me remember a certain–awareness, I suppose, or frame of reference.

Some more thoughts to throw out:

Pilates
Alexander technique
Meditation

Sorry. Best title I could come up with at half-past bedtime. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that I first saw this at Balloon Juice.

You can do it, Duffy Moon.
