thanks! but no, upstairs was closed...Lumin just announced today that he wasn't there at all last night....hopefully I'll get a chance to hear the real Lumin soon...lol

Gracias gentlemen
yeah...I have missed the CP crew...have been on hiatus while trying to figure out my next career move...but things are looking a little better now. -
Have to make the correction, since I just found out it wasn't Lumin there last night. But whoever was there was good.

Headed back down to the SoBe scene tonight...and found it rather quiet. It was as if eight other people and I had booked Amika for our own private engagement. (Not quite, I wish!)
DJ Lumin had already ascended his post by the time I arrived, along with a group of about 5 people all communicating in sign language. How handy that must be - easy chatting no matter how loud the music gets.
Lumin's continuous set explored the different percussive nuances of house...it was quite lively, lush and energetic, the sort of vibe that definitely could have satisfied a large crowd if one had been present. We were ushered into solid deep house rhythms, with pleasing Middle Eastern and African flairs.
Three note themes recurred, one of which reminded me of the tune from Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey" (from an artist fluent with world music). I liked the way downbeats were often contrasted.
Among the tracks were a house version of Queen's "Living On My Own," and a brief snatch of Corona's "The Rhythm of the Night." There was also a good deal of tribal chanting, as well as a song "I love to love you all the time...it's good..." (unidentified)
As empty as Amika was, I had a great time just enjoying the vibe and watching the sign language continue as tirelessly as the music. I do look forward to attending another CP congregation, however, wherever that may be next

Sorry to hear that
It sounds like your dog was a great friend. -

I didn't know you liked italian sausages...I'm half italian
Davvero? yeah, I like 'dem boys every now and then...with plenty of onions and peppers. Actually had my first one at a fair also...
-
was it worth it ?
Yes!

Made it out to the fair a few nights ago...my 3rd BCF all in all. All the things you usually love about fairs are there. All the junk food - the Italian sausages, the funnel cakes, ice cream, corn dogs, pizza, popcorn...the great American tradition of fair food. Those looking for ride thrills should get some satisfaction - it's no Busch Gardens or Universal but there is a pretty high vertical towel drop, a train car that revolves every which way upside down and all around...walking around the rides I heard plenty of screams.
There was the guy in the dunk booth with his studiously annoying laugh and heckles....this year the guy's laugh sounded like a drunk duck quacking. My husband stepped up to the plate to pit his old baseball arm against the guy...and he got pretty close, but no cigar. Since my hub is pretty short and small, the heckler kept remarking "hey skinny" and "maybe when you're bigger! ha ha." My hub was a pretty good sport about it though.
We caught a lumberjack show which featured two guys playing around with chainsaws, hewing out a rabbit (about which one guy said, "that don't look like any rabbit I've ever seen" to which the other replied, "oh yeah? check 1-95") and doing a log race ontop of a log floating in a big plastic swimming pool, which was concluded by the fat guy in overalls toppling into the water with a big splash.
We took a round in the high ferris wheel, walked by a boy getting thrown from a mechanical bull, past an impossible rope ladder challenge which no one seemed to be able to master...
I always love seeing the animal and horticulture tents. The huge cows with their soft glossy red coats and little calves, the little black prickly pigs, the goats, the rows of cages of picture-perfect hens, bunnies and roosters...then there was the landscaping and skillful exhibits done by childrens' groups.
I think the fair's going on until the 28th, so you still have time if you want to go. It's a great time....a good old fashioned fair. And the nights are so nice now...

Let me not get started on how they treat you @ JFK!
i guess we have to look at it as going into a mandatory S&M club...they prob do...:/

There has to be a better way to carry out security measures than this...I think the airport personnel are probably getting a kick out of doing these searches. Probably the most power they've ever had or will have in their lives. -
i used to go to twilo, webster hall, pyramid (on ave A)...people still liked to show off up there but i grant you, people are a bit more down to earth up there (that sounds like a paradox...lol)
i agree...there is a lot more showing off of bodies down here...hence the "post your tits" bit

Spread some love this way please Eric!

Childhood reading was great for me...my favorites - Chronicles of Narnia, Trumpet of the Swan, Stuart Little, Charlotte's Web, Beatrix Potter books, Return to Teribithia...and the list goes on and on.

"Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known"

coming into november
still no train of livelihood
the sun shines outside
the weather crisps
the oppressive heat relents
yet no promise
the carousing continues
the bands play on
the records spin
the feet stomp
only without me
from oceans away
words come to me
what meaning do they have
just shadows of a prospect
twenty-nine years
find me here
just floating
nothing to cling to
nothing to hold
my life infected with lies
dying of dreams
inspiration lost in darkness

Seems like typical cause for depression. You have got to take the step and try to take care of this yourself. In the long run, you will appreciate this.
Start by getting back to your routine. DO NOT expect motivation to get you here. Set your alarm or what ever. Just make sure you do what your are suppose to do as far as your training is concerned. This may even help with the rest of your life. It will do you no good to sit and feel sorry about your being out of a job. One thing at a time. Start with what made you happy at one time: running. Then you can start taking care of the rest of your life.
Good luck

Thanks nautica - I appreciate it...actually did 6 miles tonight so hopefully I will be back in the groove soon.
