Over the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking about how much my mind has being leading me in and around. Matter of fact, how it takes turns on all of us.
And of course, my mind decieves me a lot. As much as I try to think I’m acting in the lines of saneness. I need to think about the Tyranny of my mind.
From this article by Balance in Me, that helps escapes this triaged, see Tyranny of the Mind, put in the concept of myself.
I’m tired of the race of measure my sucess by others yard-sticks. An interesting learned today from James Altucher’s (http://bit.ly/XUcuXz) post: Raymond Chandler, the most successful noir novelist of all time, wrote his first novel at age 52. But he was young compared with Frank McCourt, who won the Pulitzer for his first novel, Angela’s …
And yes, the year is wrapping up and among the many interesting things I’ve gotten to archieve this year (I’m particularly exicted for Geleyi above all), one big improvement has been in my level of happiness. It is true. Being happy is easier if you live in the moment. Unfortunately, we live in a society …

I did some traveling last few weeks (and obviously not a lot of writing) and while eating at a diner in Tennessee I cam across a very interesting poster on the wall that just speaks to the many rouse I’ve been having over living, life and the paradox of it all: The paradox of our times …
Yesterday, I concluded the first book of the bible in the bible-in-a-year challenge and certainly, it has interesting, and often bizarre stories. For any who has never read the bible, it will be more bizarre. It does narrate the beginning of the Jewish race — I strongly doubt if the stories are historically. One particular …
From a few weeks ago, I’m taking on a challenge — read the whole bible. When I was younger I read the whole New Testament, diligently taking notes about my observations, but then I was reading a rather cryptic version (KJV) and I was sufficiently naïve. After all my jabs at religion (see related post …
I’ve written multiple posts about the displacement of religion in today’s world ; in addition to the truism to my past assertions (religion undermining the complexity of humanity and our ability to “seek”). I was recently listening to the TED talk of Alain de Botton titled “Atheism 2.0″ and it touches and expand on the …
A few months ago, I wrote about giving a talk at my alma mata (UMass Boston) and how I felt it was just so right. I loved it, I was doing two things that I loved doing — orating and music — especially talking about music. It was just beautiful. I begin to think, perhaps …
