It's been awhile. I was horrible today. I missed you. Turns out you're part of my rhythm and I need you to function to my maximum potential. This. Sketching down reflections I've absorbed, pondered, refined and finally render to a blog no one reads. But it doesn't matter. If I don't spit it out, I get intellectually constipated and I think that's how I got here. Blocked by fright and stress yet again.

It's common knowledge that sometimes when society sees something it doesn't understand, they give it a hard time. Bullies bully the odd ball wearing floods for his lunch money and when they get older, bullies take money from our paychecks to pay for the many lunches they'll have in Tahiti. And it's not just bullies. It's society as a whole. It never fails. If you want to follow your own inner being, and your inner being doesn't match the rest of society, expect friction. Expect raised eyebrows, hurt feelings, misunderstandings, name-calling and criticism.

There is something agonizing about being passionate. People would tell me they loved watching me play drums because they could tell I loved what I was doing. But they were only half right. I loved playing, but I also hated it. It wasn't as simple as love, it was too complicated a feeling to be described as such. I had drive and would practice hours a day. If I had practiced out of love, I would've gotten a lot better. Instead I played out of longing to be better. I only loved it when I achieved this. Otherwise, I hated it. This kind of passion is no way to fuel any discipline.

Typically when I think about people's schedules and time, I relate it to rhythm. That is actually the whole mission of the blog. To compare your schedules and structure against the situational schedules that happen day to day. To examine what it means for your rhythm to be 'in-sync' with the world's rhythm around you.

Skip the ABCs/123s, if I were teaching kindergarden I'd start with the kids themselves. After all, self-awareness is a rare and beautiful quality very few can truly say they possess. Besides, if you really are starting from scratch in the world, how do you even know what is possible if you don't know what you have to work with? So you have to give yourself a test and it needs to be something you can pass. That way you can put that mark above your head and you're all measured up against the wall of possibilities.

After two days of surfing with a concert in between and a salsa social to top things off, I am brain dead. But I don't think it has as much to do with the over-exertion as it does with noise. In fact, I believe, if I were really doing things correctly, I wouldn't be brain dead at all. Rather, I believe I should be as sharp as ever complete with heightened senses. After all, surfing, dancing and music exist to free your mind, no? Well come on. They at least have the potential to.

Let's start by stripping "needs" out. You've won the lottery or inherited crazy cash and let's say you and your family (if you have one to support) are taken care of. Let's say hypothetically you get bored and actually WANT to get back to work. What would you do?
