I didn't listen to any of the squawking going on around the internet yesterday. I have decided to trade in politics for something productive- reading Infinite Jest
. My thought is that it will take at least two years and every brain cell left in my head just to have a chance at finishing at all. That's just the project I need.
My time spent on the yoga mat has been enlightening, just as people have been saying for 5,000 years- imagine that. I am so focused on my left foot's off-the-mat-ness in relation to my right foot's on-the-mat-ness that I don't have time to project days or years down the road, which is my previous state of being. In yoga I have learned breathing is something I can do, not just something that happens. Yes, I am all about my breathing-ness, my focus-ed-ness.
It has only been one month and already gravity is losing her grip on me as I bob upward like a soap bubble in the Juanchosphere*.

My goal for the next 3 months is to slowly get to your new peace; maybe in 2, but at most, 3. Right now though I can't unplug and move to Zion*.

I need to find another yoga class. I need to do a lot of things, but that is one of them.
Where and when?
Get that Infinite Jest in your head. Then read it again, you'll see what you missed. I think that book will be good for you.
Are you saying you have read and comprehended it? My hat is off to you sir. I aspire to join your esteemed company.
DFW is a joke playing MFer in my opinion. The whole footnote thing is just a big joke on you (the reader) on one hand and also there're jokes in the footnotes that are revealed as you read them.
Fundamentally it's a book about obsession, specifically obsession with entertainment and it is so convoluted it forces you into a certain amount of obsession to get through it. There's a lot packed in there.
Plus it's well written. and funny.
I am officially not smart enough for this blog. I bet others have known this for a while. Sorry I'm late to the party.
And I go to Journey's Yoga. Sonia is my yoga boss.
