<p>Boundless pain<br />
Boundless joy<br />
Boundless monotony<br />
Boundless novelty</p>
<p>Firmly planted<br />
Observing everything at once<br />
Each passerby&#8217;s situation both familiar and unknowable<br />
Hopes of the future<br />
Dreams crushed</p>
<p>God is in his heaven and all is right in the world<br />
The conditions aligned just right<br />
But tomorrow, or next month, completely unpredictable<br />
Certainly sorrow or depression can not be too far away<br />
Still, the joy of now worth the chance of tomorrow&#8217;s low<br />
Indeed; only possible in contrast</p>
<p>And yet, the smug self awareness of this is-ness<br />
Keeps me just this side of oblivion<br />
The ego still holding out<br />
Keeping this secret joy to itself<br />
Instead of releasing it into the void</p>

<p>Garbled video,  &#8221;You need to restart your computer&#8221;, what does this mean?<br />
I tried many searches but no appropriate result could be seen.</p>
<p>Good thing I had backed up <em>almost</em> all my data;<br />
To a recently purchased external SATA. </p>
<p>After a day of rebooting, it finally logs in; <br />
RSync the documents folder, for the win!</p>
<p>Now off to the Genius Bar for diagnostics and repair;<br />
Though, my warranty expired, I had some despair. </p>
<p>After some tests, a known problem, the same; <br />
Twas Nvidia and <em>not</em> Apple who was to blame!</p>
<p>So, no Mac during Christmas&#8211;which is a bit dreary;<br />
But at least the repairs will be complimentary!</p>

<p>To blog is to flex your ego.</p>
<p>Screaming out, not just to the people in your vicinity, but to the entire potential web browsing populace: “I exist!”</p>
<p>Zen is about breaking free of the meme machine of mistaken narrative and self replicating ideas. Blogs propagate memes.</p>
<p>Can you propogate the anti-meme without creating a meme? I’m inclined to say: &#8220;not intentionally.&#8221;</p>

<!-- wp-jquery-lightbox, a WordPress plugin by ulfben --> 
<p><strong>11-22-2003</strong><br />
Coffee and Zazen<br />
An excellent laxative<br />
Consciously pooping</p>
<p><strong>09-08-2003 &#8211; my friend Ed</strong><br />
Everywhere I go<br />
Ed Luna&#8217;s name preceeds him<br />
Music man, dancer.</p>
<p><strong>08-25-2003 &#8211; my friend Tomo</strong><br />
World domination<br />
Robot spiders spinning webs<br />
Where does your mind start?</p>
<p><strong>08-20-2003 &#8211; my sisterin-law Ayumi</strong><br />
A smile and care<br />
My new sister gives to all<br />
A flower blooming.</p>
<p><strong>08-16-2003- my friend Bocci</strong><br />
Making Media<br />
Is the game that Bocci plays<br />
Water falling down.</p>
<p><strong>08-09-2003 &#8211; my friend Gill</strong><br />
Gill is on a beach<br />
This sight makes me feel happy.<br />
Don&#8217;t cross this Lotek!</p>
<p><strong>08-03-2003 &#8211; my friend Disco</strong><br />
He drives a fast car<br />
He knows about computers<br />
I call him disco.</p>
<p><strong>08-03-2003 &#8211; my friend Sassafras</strong><br />
I like to hang out<br />
With this friend who knows a lot<br />
About cars and stuff.</p>
<p><strong>07-31-2003 &#8211; my friend Monad</strong><br />
Monad writes music<br />
He is also programming<br />
Audio software.</p>
<p><strong>07-30-2003 &#8211; my friend Colin</strong><br />
In a kung fu fight<br />
Who would be victorious?<br />
Fun for all who watch.</p>
<p><strong>07-30-2003 &#8211; my friend Dehuman</strong><br />
Dehuman travels<br />
Between the fifth dimension<br />
And &#8220;reality&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>07-05-2003 &#8211; my wife Yuki</strong><br />
Yuki is my love<br />
She is like the summer sky<br />
Filling me with joy.</p>
<p><strong>07-05-2003 &#8211; my friend Janet</strong><br />
Piano or other<br />
She is a great performer<br />
Where will she be next?</p>
<p><strong>06-24-2003 &#8211; my friend Jeff</strong><br />
Jeff has a sweet ass<br />
No really, it is da bomb<br />
Touch it if you can.</p>
<p><strong>06-13-2003 &#8211; my friend Eric</strong><br />
A man who sees through<br />
Altered eyes and perception<br />
Where does his mind rest?</p>
<p><strong>06-13-2003 &#8211; my friend Justin</strong><br />
My good friend Justin<br />
He climbs rocks for a living<br />
Now his arms are huge</p>
<p><strong>06-13-2003 &#8211; my friend AShinn</strong><br />
One man sits in front<br />
Of his computer making<br />
Design for the world.</p>

<p>I can not sleep<br />
though it is night;<br />
my brain is to active<br />
my mind sees light.</p>
<p>Apparently I drank<br />
too much coffee today;<br />
two black, two irish<br />
too much for one day?</p>
<p>My heart pumps strong<br />
each definite beat;<br />
reminds me, soundly<br />
that I can not sleep!</p>
<p>My head on my pillow<br />
my body in bed;<br />
how can I sleep<br />
with this light in my head?</p>

<p>On the horizon<br />
I see in high contrast<br />
ideal aesthetics<br />
a closer look<br />
a second pass.</p>
<p>Creating concrete from dream<br />
blurring the lines<br />
escaping reality<br />
movement<br />
shutter speed, kaleidoscope.</p>
<p>Dark long spiky hair<br />
climb the summit<br />
close my eyes<br />
release my ego<br />
souring consciousness.</p>

<p>Looking<br />
through space<br />
through time<br />
A tunnel that breaks the surface</p>
<p>Break through lightning<br />
my heart pounds faster<br />
hair wisps by like feather drops<br />
The wind leaves me here on<br />
a concrete island.</p>
<p>Look for transit, a way through the tunnel<br />
a faster train<br />
a ship off this island.</p>
<p>My life spreads out<br />
flowing cape of angel wings<br />
take flight,<br />
rip space,<br />
transcend,</p>
<p>Does love wait?</p>
