I had no idea I could have a BLOG here! Now I can be so uber and technologically savvy (or at least pretend I am....) But jesting aside, I guess a blog is supposed to be a sort of running "dear diary" sort of thing where one comments about just about anything they feel like.

That being said, life is good. It could be absolutely fabulously wonderful, and I definitely have hope for that, but right now it is good. Which, of course, is better than bad. So at least I have my friends and family and cats and job and car, etc. I am blessed, and daily try to encourage the universal energy to keep it coming.

Quote of the day from the New Dimensions Radio perpetual calendar on my desk at work: "As I progress in the spiritual life, God increases as I decrease. It's more than just being detached. It's as if God is absorbing the self" - Bernadette Roberts, author of The Experience of No-Self

Not quite sure what to make of that. I suppose at this time in my life I value my individuality and the fact that I am my own person. I guess I would need to read her book to find out exactly what she means here- to me being selfless is more about caring for others' well-being, supporting others, etc and not so much losing onesself. And my mind stopped working, so I will sign off for now. Perhaps I will come upon some interesting snippett over the net today and repost....wonder how much info this site will save til they make me pay or something.... :P

Last night a few of my internet gaming buddies and I tested Lord Vader at 20 questions (long story- basically I play an online game called Star Wars Galaxies and in the game we have created a guild and we all talk on Ventrilo which is a voice chat thing). He could not guess Giant Panda- he kept thinking it was a big bird (emu, ostrich) or some australian animal (kangaroo, wombat). It's a pretty funny thing- he actually had guessed Peridot and also Quark before. I think it is programmed to learn and remember the questions and answer, cause if he doesn't guess correctly, there's a place to enter in what you were thinking of. Here's the site if anyone is interested- warning it is sponsored by Burger King so an ad coule pop up or something (or the King walks in and whispers in Vader's ear). It's pretty clever.
