 12/11/02 Ramblings from a tire store lobby
 
 some of these were quotes from the book i am reading;
 some are random thoughts bouncing through the head
 of jill at 3pm on a wednesday afternoon while spending
 hundreds of dollars i don't have on new tires
 
 It's not how many ideas you have;
 it's how many you make happen.
 -advert in mag in tire store lobby
 
 Regret is only energy wasted.
 -jill
 
 Prevention is better than cure.
 -Erasmus, 1509
 
 An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie,
 for an excuse is a lie guarded.
 -Alexander Pope
 
 what i like to do in times of questioning is to
 watch all kinds of movies and read all kinds of books,
 about mind, psychology, meditation, the power of the brain,
 then i receive (or do we always receive) so shall i say i notice
 and acknowledge mass connections and synchronicities
 what some call coincidences, the i ching which have driven
 many a men of the western world mad, this overwhelming
 amount of information, until i can no longer take this state of
 over-awareness and i transform again, into a temporary state
 of  binge drinking which turns off my mind's eye, because i
 think the human brain can only accept so much of this
 information overload without comprehension, i don't think we
 as a human race are physically capable of grasping and
 fully understanding the workings of the universe, the "why"
 we forever seek, i don't think we could truly handle the answer
 if once it ever did present itself to us.
 
 what i have done so far (right or wrong) that i have never
 done before completely by myself
 -car shop tune up
 -purchase full set of tires
 
 what i plan to do
 -financial advisor
 -my taxes
 -invest and save
 -ask for a raise
 -look for a job that pays me what i'm worth
 -go to the dentist
 
 i shouldn't need new tires until at least 2007
 they have a 60,000 guarantee and roadside service
 
 ways to fight cancer:
 chemical in the amazon rain forest
 carrot juice
 broccoli
 foliage
 antioxidants
 melatonin
 co Q10
 
 There is no dress rehearsal;
 this is your life.
 
 surprised by the truth in my words...
 
 Millions of persons long for immortality
 who do not know what to do with
 themselves on a rainy afternoon.
 -susan ertz
 
 You must learn to be still in the midst of activity
 and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
 -Indira Gandhi
 
 Spend the afternoon.
 You can't take it with you.
 -annie dillard
