I’ve been at a loss for words all week (and I don’t seem to be alone). It be’s that way sometimes, yes? Essentially, I am having time-management issues. I don’t seem to have enough time although, in reality, I have the same amount of time as everyone else.

“Yes, of course, who has time? Who. Has. Time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?” — the Merovingian

There’s the business of moving Loverboy from Lithonia to Midtown that is going smoothly (so far!) and a copious amount of work drama (I’d write about it but I’ve never been a big fan of work posts). Also, my mind has been dancing around two story ideas and the possibility of writing for a publication. Just dances, mind you. Nothing is touching down or taking root. The choreography visits at night when I dream, quite clearly, the plot, characters and resulting book tour. Having a hard time recapturing the details upon awakening, I’m afraid; but I’m convinced I’m having the same damn dream.

Consuming increasing quantities of dharma-related writings which are helping me to maintain a balance financially and spiritually. I’m contemplating joining a zendo to further train my wandering mind. Still vacillating on that, though. Speaking of which, I still haven’t committed to a plan for improving my physical shell. Would really like to be more buff by San Juan.

Like I said at the beginning of this post…

Time.

Damnit, you must’ve been reading my mind on the whole time issue. And I even spun on that whole Merovingian quote this morning while waking up.

Nonetheless, I’m taking time. Off, that is. But it’s good for me. See you on the flipside.

There is never enough time to do all the things we want to do so we have to use our time wisely. That sounds really good but hell, do we ever get there. I took a little break myself. My juices were not flowing and I needed to get recharged. Hopefully now, I will be able to crank out a lot of good music information by the end of the year. We will see!

You sound like me. I just haven’t been able to write much these days. Not for lack of trying but just nothing wants to come out. I think my mind would just rather play instead. I’ll toast to the move going smooth though. That’s always a good thing.

Well, I’ve already griped about how busy I’ve been over the past six weeks or so. And I’ve been meaning to write stuff all week. I expect to dive back in in the next few days.

I once read something about the results of a survey where participants where asked which they would rather have - more time; or more money…

…and like 85% picked time.

Time? Really? Rich bastards.
