Saturday indulged the lazy

of course resting was wise after the vigorous workout, excitement, and sleep deprivation of Friday, so I indulged the lazies on Saturday... waking late and watching sports on TV, NBA playoffs, while visiting my fantasy baseball teams for only the second time since I drafted them (so naturally, I'm not doing too well and shocked to be in 3rd place in one league) and once again, roaming around myspace...

there was one excursion out when PRecious asked for a ride to the mall... while there I checked my PO Box and splurged on Urban Flats, bringing enough home for Rasputin to eat too... I also browsed through Sports Authority for exercise machines and was disappointed to find machines costing $1000 that seemed flimsy and inadequate to me... they might serve someone who seeks a light workout or someone who is 100 pounds, but not me...

as the night crossed into Sunday I revisted myspace again finally taking a brake from my manic semi-random wandering and sending of the holy friend requests in order to catch up on responding to messages left for me there... what came out of that is yet another mini-introduction-type writing that will one day appear wherever it appears, btc and/or intros or both and/or elsewhere... since I neglected you here for days, here's the gist of the general part after specifically addressing why I sent the Add request and whatever odd thought the specific person inspired (naturally I start with a disclaimer):

I've never met a sense of humor I couldn't challenge and find that the only true friend is the friend who has to (and does) get past the possibility that everything I say might be true, or wrong, and even I might not ever know which is which (but the fun it trusting enough to join me in trying to figure me out)...

I intend no harm, honest, it's my only belief and promise and faith and truth and way I strive to always remain true to... I accept my imperfections, grudgingly, milking them for as much humor and education as I can get out of them... and I introduce myself spontaneously to strangers for no apparent reason, though we can always make up a reason if we want one...

I love words... and music... so I write a lot... and much of it rhymes... I feel like I am communicating best when I am in touch with the four year old in me (and writing so a four year old can understand what I am saying), though I enjoy playing with words (and therein, with reader's minds)... I love statements that leave us wondering if the writer was really serious, or statements that leave us in awe of the potential of the possibilities in the thought, or statements that just make us say DOH!... secretly, I want to enlighten and save the world by writing the perfect song that opens hearts and minds and replaces all fears with honest love before anybody can realize what's happening and come up with a rational or collective defence mechanism...

I'm still working on that last dream in my spare time :)

as my profile says, I like to wave hello to people on and offline cuz I never know when smiling at a stranger and wishing them well might bring a new friend into my world or simply bring a smile to someone else's world (I won't give up my idealism and hope for our human kind no matter what anyone might say :)

so Hi :)

and I hope you are finding a smile in your world today/tonight :)

and if you ever find your way to Orlando and want to share a coffee/tea/shake/water or walk through a park and a friendly conversation, welcome to my world :)

whatever you decide, may you find more smiles than frowns along your way :)

for more about me

PS... yes, I'm for real, not retarded, have all my senses, teeth, faculties, and can be serious upon request... honesty is my way, but it scares people and sometimes I like having people around, so I don't mind being viewed as innocuous, enigmatic, obscure, or even ridiculous if that helps put people at ease... friends see through the babbling and irreverence and find a friend... my blogs are spread out all over the net and can give you some idea of who I am (and what my life, imagination, heart, and mind are like) if you are into reading and don't want to just ask me questions directly (or want to verify my veracity :)

peace, love, and enjoy it all :)

of course I've received no responses so far because I probably scared everyone off, as usual, but I'm happy being me and expressing myself... the night rolled into Sunday morning and I found myself writing yet another sermon (posted in the myspace blog) which is my own perculiar take on politics, religion, and, believe it or not, mother's day... at least that's what I'd label it at this particular time...

still no gym and if anything else happened Saturday, I forgot :)
