surround yourself in your own reality

hi all

i have a few other blogs to post later when i can get my computer on wi-fi, but, for the time being, i want to pop in and give a little update. i left for sea-tac (the seattle airport) at 6:15 this morning and am now (after a short stop in st. louis) waiting for a plane to LIMA!! which boards in about two hours. once i arrive and get through customs, i hop a plane to cusco. so as of 9:00 am EST tomorrow (sep 5) i will be in peru and starting the trip! which probably means sleeping a lot to adjust to the altitude.

speaking of sleeping all day...
ARIES (March 21-April 19): "Like an ox-cart driver in monsoon season or the skipper of a grounded ship, one must sometimes go forward by going back," wrote novelist John Barth in The Friday Book. Consider using that approach, Aries. Retreat may be the strongest move you can make right now; surrender could turn out to be a masterstroke. But in order to get the most out of this strategy, you've got to keep your ego from injecting its agendas into situations. Don't act out of shame or pride; don't humble yourself excessively or be burning for revenge. Be objective, neutral, poised.
i love rob brezsny's weekly horoscopes. especially his random references.

more to come later...
