Powerful energies
I have been informed by powers greater than myself that if only I am able to harness the power of my frustration and rage, I will be able to create wonders in wonders.
The 8 of wands from the
Cosmic Tribe Tarot Deck, © Stevee PostmanI have not, however, been provided the means to harness these powerful energies, although the information is an important start.
My frustration is greatest when I cannot think, usually, very early in mornings, not long after I have awakened. The day hasn't kicked in and my internal mechanisms have not yet booted up. I will be trying to get a message through, my mind completely out-of-synch with my body and mouth, and a word will utterly vanish from my vocabulary.
This type of loss generates an immense frustration that I cannot immediately escape. The frustration becomes anger when my schedule is knocked completely out-of-whack by my continued attempts to grasp at language that eludes me. I become dysfunction personified, spouting regretful epitaphs at everyone around, an incensed, unlovable pariah. All for want of a single word.
How do I harness that frustration? How do I even know while I'm in the midst of it? One morning recently offered an opportunity, but I was in too much of a hurry to maintain my schedule that I couldn't even begin to think about it.
Eventually I have my pen and paper in hand, bringing the remembrance of the frustration into a controlled environment, but the frustration has long left me. If those powers greater than myself have more information about what I am to do, it escapes me.

Hi,
I am a friend of your other half (the new Michael) and we have met of course - but I am not sure if you remember me or not. My name is Dave and my partner's name is Scott...you and Michael came up and through Beads off the balcony and then came over to our townhouse for a brief visit. I am interested in possibly starting a blog and was wondering if you would be willing to give me some personal tips and pointers and help in finding the right sight to allow my postings, etc?
Thanks
Dave
PS - please email me personally at dao33305@comcast.net with any information or contact info so that we could chat about it...I would really appreciate it!!!

Hey Dave, thanks for posting!
I got started using Blogger, which is associated with Google. It's really user friendly, but also somewhat customaizable, and has an extensive knowledge base.
You can learn about Blogger at http://www.blogger.com, and get started for free right away.
Since I own my own domain name, and I have a good knowledge of programming, I'm hosting my own blog as well, and I use Movable Type. Really powerful system but it also requires a great deal of knowledge to install. Movable Type is available at
Anyway, I hope this helps. And thanks for reading!
