I find myself again on tribe for certain reasons...

So Hi! is anyone around here at all from the old gang?
I am doing really well these days. My life changed a lot from joining tribe.net some 8 years ago or so.
It really improved my social life and increased my social circles, some of whom i am super close with now.
I even was coerced into going to BM and then spent a few years working hard out there.
I am NOT going this year and am okay with that.
Instead I am taking my bf Skip to the Madonna Inn for his birthday and going with Steve & Amy!
Very excited about that.

What are you up to? YOU? Who still are on here.

OMG! My first motorcycle lesson ever on a Trail 90!

On the playa! It was so cute driving around on that honda. I highly recommend it for all trips to the desert.
pEEf did most of the driving but I got to tool around on it a little too, which felt like a certain freedom.
I felt like I was in france, or greece, or cape cod, or mars. The way to do juplaya! I swear!

Now cutest kittehs.

nothing, just a blog post with gratuitous cuteness,
procrastinating leaving for work
i suddenly remembered to sign into tribe.

The Hans, He has died.

November 20, about 8:45 in the year 2009.

So wrong.

I wanted to let you know how Hans died since we now have something definitive to grasp onto. Hans had reconstructive knee surgery back in Sept & apparently a blood clot traveled to his lungs - a pulmonary embolism was the cause... he was only 35 years old. It is so tragic & considering the fact that Hans put off having that surgery for so long, even more so. Sad. send out love & support.

Not that anyone does tribe anymore.

But if you want to add pix of Hans, send it here: www.flickr.com/groups/1320331@N22/

and there is a service for him on this Friday and then you can visit Haven in Pacifica.

on 12/12/09 we are having a viking funeral for him at Headless Point. a true viking sendoff.

sad....

Hi Tribe!

Hi hi hi hi! It has been a very very very long time. I am sorry that I have forgotten you or gotten distracted by other things and sites.
So I am well, I am still learning and growing. I am mostly pretty happy.
I was so happy with tribe and so appreciative of meeting such cool people in the bay area, some whom I am so close with, some whom have sloughed off. but all is as it is meant to be, really.
I just really wanted to say hi and post a pic.

The Fine Line....

between a rather colorful life and a work world. Currently, I am starting a Facebook account for my agency. I like doing it, funny that i like it more than starting my own account. I am organized and have started albums and it is all good.
But... What happens when my information arises on the account? I am a colorful person and have a candid way of expressing myself. For instance, the dress that I am wearing in my current profile pic is really revealing, and that is what I currently have as the main pic for my Facebook account. Do I take my profile down to a G-rating?

Oh and here is a funny related story. I went to BM this year. There were only a few other people from my agency that also went, one being the CEO who I work very closely with. he is a really cool guy. But this is the conversation that ensued at a recent holiday party at his house. Somehow the conversation turned to us seeing each other (the first person I saw that i knew in the will call line) at BM. Then the conversation turned to nudity and I was saying how I am "anti nudist" and then I qualified as being anti nudist for "Myself only". Bob chimed in with how he didn't get naked this year for fear of seeing me and being naked. Actually he also qualified his statement with the fact that he was with his kids and their friends. Regardless, this is the kind of relationship that I have with the CEO of the agency.

Still, how do i make a separation, firm up that thin line between work and home especially when they meet so close on line.

I would also like to say that I never got so crazy on Facebook as I did on tribe.net.

Check out what some crazy people did over in Sausalito...

onlineadventure.com/videos/S...Burn-Boat

This is an incredible video of the Sausalito Yacht Parade. Every year for the past 20 years the people of Sausalito put light their boats and parade them in front of the Yacht club. The club hands out prizes to the best boats. This year was a bit different. The White Holly took expression to the next level. Suffice it to say that an entire new category is now in the works.

Hell's yeah, the White Holly was above and beyond, Crazeee burners! And I was happy as hell top be riding on and helping with that boat.
Almost the highlight of my weekend, i cannot really divulge the hightlight (sorry).

Oh and just 40 seconds ago, there was thunder here in SF.!

Thank God that Hjorst posted a picture!

I was prepared to beg someone to post a picture b/c I had three days of watching an animated gif of a woman with a cow head on and her boobs were suctioned off with some kind of bdsm toy and were bouncing up and downs, thanks to Good Michael >spank<.

Now I see something innocuous and electric looking. Hell it could be a torture device but I am relieved that it has replaced the main picture which was disturbing me on too many levels to mention. But I was being polite and letting good michael have his fun annoying me.

Sweating is beautiful!

Although i have to admit... I am a sweat-er. So when i decide to join the kult of Bikram, I sweat even more. Big fat globules of sweat. The woman doing yoga next to me barely broke a sweat. I HATE her! although, I have to admit she was really nice and quite sociable. Still what right does she have to stand there with her perfect body, striking perfect poses, not sweating!!!???

Anyway, this post is not about her! it is about ME! I am doing this bikram yoga thing and I HaTe it! i hate the heat! I think I will never last the 90 minutes! I hate how inflexible I feel when I compare myself to others.

but I also love it. I love that I feel almost no stiffness or pain the next day. I love that there are people I know and love running the studio (Mission Yoga Yo) I love that a bunch of my friends go. I love that I am kind of loving the sweat. I love that I perceive myself to be more flexible and healthy in the coming year.

Thanks Juicy and Steve and Cat and Julia for forcing me to join this kult of Yoga!

Me thinks Tribe is new and exciting today.

I dunno, I just have a feeling. Or perhaps a little bird told me so.

Regardless, watch it!

PS. I joined a kult. The cult of Bikram yoga. Watch it!
