Over the top October

I hate the cliche phrase when it rains it pours but I think that it might be an appropriate term for life pounding down on me like when it rains cats and dogs during monsoon season. The $400 gone, the shippers, the Angel Falls trip to happen or not, Amputee pool sharks, Surprises you never saw coming from left field, emergency ascensions in MD-80s (Ugh oh!) and we're halfway there... God help me I hope I am living on more than 1 prayer.

Nonetheless, I am still trying to wear a smile on my face and believe I'm possible, not impossible...

If Karma is real, then, I must have not been a nice person to Venezuelans in a past life, as a few things have happened recently that make me wonder who or what naturistic thing I upset in the cosmic scheme of things back once upon a time... Then again, a friend said last night, the best way to explain this is chaos, but I love my chaos... I think the sooner I take that mentality, the better off I am going to be.

Still or Todavia (great Spanish word), I just read an article that working when we are stressed (provided it's not related to work) which it really isn't can make our work more productive and inventive and ideas might volcano out in huge spontaneous spurts of wisdom, chaos and energy.

Soul searching for what's next but I think once everything calms down, I am just going to want and see those Sri Lankan paintings and Korean lamps in one place for 2-3 years and so Venezuela, watch out, I think I am here to stay. Still, if any higher being was to drop a sign down temporarily that had neon arrows guiding me towards one of the thought bubbles coming out of my head, I would be pretty stoked. That would be pretty magical.

So firey October leading into Neurotic November (sun in Scorpio), I have no idea what you have in store for me, but I'll continue to laugh, talk shit, dive in, embrace and let go and find wonderful stories to tell as long as you let me live...
