Like the music page, I’ve killed the poetry page. It really should be something more blog like.

So I’ve finally come to the conclusion that networking through the web isn’t a cup of tea for me. Matter of
fact it isn’t even a cup of anything for me. I’m not in it. For me it’s too forced and not natural enough. I
did go to one of the meet-ups but didn’t really get into it. I’m sure there are other meet-ups that are
great, but right now in my life, not for me. So…the links are gone.

With the podcast bandwagon, I figure heck, I’ll jump on that! So, here is my first podcast. enjoy!

2018-02-25: Link TBD. This is missing in the history of archives. I’m going to have to hunt it down.

Some 600 or so pages, some laughing and crying, I’m done the newest installment of Harry Potter. I’m starting
to think that there is some sort of addiction there. I actually used up some bank time at work, so I could go
home early to finish it…is that a problem? I guess the problem would be if I didn’t even call into work and
just stayed home.

Part of the homework from The Chrysalis is that we are to come up with 10 things that resonate
and encourage our creativity and then do 3. The timing for the new book was almost kismet because 1 down and
2 to go. Sure, I’m haven’t quite figured out what they are…I’ve still got 9 things besides reading to come
up with…but, when I do, I’ll do 2 of them and homework done. i’ve only got, what, 3 days left to do them?

Yes, I’m one of the billions hooked on Harry Potter. And unlike those pretentious people who buy the “adult”
cover books, I’m not afraid to admit it. When I first saw the photographic like covers on the shelves I was
slightly disturbed. Isn’t there a phrase…hmm…let me think. It’s something about judging…and covers. I think
this is very appropriate because it also has something to do with books. Now what was that phrase? Oh anyway,
I’m once again delving my attention into J.K. Rowlings’ world.

It’s funny really. I seem to have a very select handful of topics that I can actually read through without
falling asleep: quantum physics, leadership and harry potter. Yeah…it baffles me too.

“These sudden inspirations… never happen except after some day of voluntary effort which has appeared
absolutely fruitless and whence nothing good seems to have come, where the way taken seems totally astray.
These efforts then have not been as sterile as one thinks; they have set agoing the unconcious machine and
without them it would not have moved and would have produced nothing.”

The warthogs? No. I started a small group class about tapping into our creativity and about creative writing.
It’s held by a wonderful woman ( of which I probably will be referencing her as time goes by ) named Dari.
With each class she has them come up with a name for themselves. With a little work and thought, we are
The Chrysalis. Considering the definition I would say it’s
a very fitting name.

wikipedia has pretty much the same definition, but
I thought I would connect to it…it’s looking a little barren. Know something? Share

So I’m drinking my starbucks and I read on the back of their cup

Chances are you are scared of fictions. Chances are you are only fleetingly happy. Chances are you know
much less than you think you do. Chances are you feel a little guilty. Chances are you want people to lie
to you. Perhaps the answer lies on the side of a coffee cup. You are lost. – David Cross, Comedian

This is from a comedian…so…is this supposed to be funny?
