you know you are heavily tied to the outdoors when you simply go outside in the rain for five minutes then come back in, throw all the doors and windows open for a few hours, hook up your ipod to your record player and organize the bathroom/finish unpacking your camp trunk and do three loads of laundry while listening to jazz/swing music.
mmm, rain...
always feels wonderful, and the green everywhere makes up for the parched land and hat weather that has been endured...
speaking of, i'm not really certain why i had that word put on my custom converse...
i suppose it's my 'glorious underrated mantra' or however the quite goes.
hmm.
if ever there was a 'mantra' in my life i think that would be it...
i haven't any real defining phrase however...
then again, to find a definition for me would be quite ridiculous.
yesterday i was talking to someone on facebook, it came up that 'oh, so you're random?'
i suppose, but really it's hard to say...
''oh, so you're different each day?'
umm...
and i need to sift through this blog and organize the real posts and the 'this is what i'm feeling today' talking to myself posts. (EDIT-hey, that's what i'm doing now!)
ha, and now Alabama comes up on itunes...
...now Jack Johnson...
i think it's remarkable how sounds emulate feelings, mellowness, excitement, anger... it's sound.
sound, feelings.
vibrations being picked up by our ears.
and affecting how we feel.
feelings.
feelings are...
a theory in all reality.
then brain controls it and i find it fascinating how biological it all is.
and yet at the same time it's not!
then again, vibrations affecting the brain makes a biological arguement seem flawless.
quite remarkable and mind boggling to think of a balance.
fully psychological or fully biological wouldn't be as hard to comprehend...
what is it about balance that's so difficult?
it's difficult whether you're balancing a two-by-four on a triangle, balancing your checkbook, or compromising and trying to find a balance of ideas while writing a bill in congress.
odd how one phrase seems to span so much...
and i had written the title to this post before i went on an odd sound/feeling/mind/balance tangent.
...oddly enough i visualize things without really meaning to.
this visualization was checkbooks, bills, psychology, and a triangle were all parallel lines somehow...
then a big dusty plank drops on one end and tips over, therefore making the plank reading 'balance' a perpendicular bisector of the lines...
...yes, i visualize things like this often...
not always with a large dusty plank, yet you get the picture.
other random thought i had a few weeks ago:
if grass had tubers in the roots, like an asparagus fern, then the grass would last longer because it would retain the water!
on the other hand, many an asparagus fern that i have grown turned yellow and died from the ground being too moist...
then again, those were poorly irrigated pots so the excessive rain did not help...
yet it would help immensely if grass had them;
that being said grass shoots are small...
i wonder if it's possible to engineer small tuber on grass...
if they can make purple potatoes why not tuber-ridden grass?
then again, what would that do for the ground...
if the grass absorbs more water...
hmm...
i'm not a scientist, so i suppose i should leave such thoughts alone.
...never!
-----
what today feels like...
i've heard it be described as 'depressing'
...not sure why...
i just settle in and 'i can see the stars from way down here...'
always moving, always improving...
endure.
