Quiet now.

Dear Cret,

 Epiphany time? I have been wondering, pondering just why stillness and quietness is so important. Perhaps even the most important thing you can do. Monks and sages and highly spiritual folk are still and quiet – sometimes at all times.

 I have been thinking a lot recently about how I don't really know anything. How nobody really knows anything. It is the sheer vastness of knowing that reduces it to nothing at all. (This makes perfect sense to me though it is hard if not impossible to explain. Tough tooty.) I mean knowing how to design a satellite or repair nerves in a human brain does not make you anywhere near close to 'all knowing'.

 Recently when I think, I am almost constantly in a place of a 'what makes me think I know this' mindset. It's kinda driving me crazy. Nevertheless, it is where I am. This brings me back to stillness and quietness. Perhaps my spirit is telling me to shut the hell up. To be quiet. To be still. To stop presuming to know anything at all.

Another turn towards up.

 Perhaps knowing anything in the outside world does not matter. Perhaps knowing anything does not matter.

 This seems very Zen to me.

 Love,

 Eric

Wow. I've has this app for 12 hours and already I am a junkie. It is
just so freakin cool. All I can think about is how to get through the
next 3 levels with only 6 breaches left so I can unlock the next
tower!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus fuck!!!!!

I must fortify my entry machine guns into rocket launchers and do it
quickly and efficiently.

I'll keep you posted.

Drive fast and fucking take chances.

Roadkill Zoe!

Drive.

This is what I do. I love the feeling of being carried along the surface of the earth at a relatively high rate of speed by a machine.

Ok boy

Me at my best.

1st 10 were fantastic.

I spent the first 10 minutes of 2009 getting my socks knocked off by some kind of super dude. Robbie Maddison’s stunt in Las Vegas.

 

Oh, and then Ne-Yo got me right after with a brilliant performance.

 

Yes.

 

Just fucking great.

2008 highlights.

Some very nice or poignant occurences of the past year:

• Propose to Melissa August 31 (she said yes)
• Stunning 1995 Corvette got got on April 24
• TB Rays to the World Series
• Summer Olympics

There were a lot of negative things, some very negative, that occurred as well. I don't really wish to go into those at this time. Perhaps on another post at another time. I do consider them important to my life and being as I do the positive things. Some are embarrasing - but no one reads my blogs anyway.

Happy 2009.
