�2006 Candor Communications


2006-09-06 - 8:51 a.m.

what's going on now


I've been dreaming again... not just of a better world like in John Lennon's Imagine cuz that dream is always playing in the background of my mind... in this case I refer to my on again off again dream of romance, of falling in love again (never thought I would, as Marlene sang), of reawakening and being me again (actualizing instead of merely writing about it from the barely semi-conscious fringe)... I made a bit of mention of it in my most recent RealTime� and myspace entries (can candora be far behind?)...

and it's not those superficial lust fantasies either...

not that they are so wrong



and Wacko Warner just has to slip his two cents (and tongue and cheek) into the mix... if you accept me as part toon, that is, as somehow (at least in personality and philosophy and energy) related to the Yacko, Wacko, and Dot (formally known as the Animaniacs) and a distant cousin of Bug (Bunny) and the Road Runner and Roger Rabbit (just to name drop a few of my ethereal relatives), then you might begin to understand some of my thought processes and humors... for instance, as a younger child, I wrote an essay for school about how I want to be a good dirty old man when I grew up... the teacher was not amused... I was and am a precocious child...

but I joke about the things that are not seriously dear to my heart and the while I still feel the same lusts I felt as a teenager, I also still seek so much more than a pretty face (that is, beauty to my eyes) and much more than a libido fantasy... of course it is much easier to stay superficial in lust here on the internet because we are two dimensional and unless we take the steps to call and talk and meet, we remain not too different than the characters we watch on TV...

as I see it, lust, whether it's for the body or for the personality, is when you want to know someone and can be anything your mind makes of it... while love blooms when you actually come to know someone and trust the reality you create together... and romance is when they are the same person...

but the most important aspect of this entry is the reawakening part... queue the Moody Blues Seventh Sojourn and Blue Jays... and when you wake up and Harry's Star Tripper... I've been gone a relatively long time in this life, sent out by my psyche to wander the stars so I could heal my heart and regain trust in my judgment again... and during this time away I desensitized this body as much as I could with a typical American diet (that of course includes a lot of Italian and Chinese food) and lack of exercise that allowed the numbness of atrophied muscles, especially torso muscles, to become my physical reality...

and in leaving this body and letting it waste away, I lost the constant contact with my conscious self (that I had spent so many years trying to lose through drugs and alcohol and silence {because music only brought me closer to home, so drugs sex and rock and roll were never the mindless escapes they might be for some}... the alcohol just made me stupid... the drugs just gave me a different perspective... the silence was deafening and brought me to the spaces between the stars where I could let go and lose that constant contact with consciousness, or perhaps we shall call it awareness at it's peak, awareness of virtually everything {not that it made me any wiser}, which may be a concept you can grasp but without the experience there is no actualized or real understanding of the moment of being there)...

and then, being there in love...

for you see, dear friends (in case it was not completely obvious by now), reawakening and being me again means being in love (and that is rather challenging to do all by myself, so without a partner the reawakening stalls or takes the shape of whatever lust driven fantasy I create � remembering that lust does not always have to be physical as the mind can orgasm just as easily and wonderfully as the body and sometimes the libido {the body lust} might not get the vision is seeks, but the rest of the mind does)...

if being the inspiration for one of my lust-driven fantasies is in any way not a pleasant experience for you, please let me know because you're not wanting it is enough to deflate the bubble... no worries, we can still be friends if you like... I mention this because I've been told that my fantasies scare some people (I'm just a momentary stalker seeking temporary obsessions to fill the void until the real thing comes along, ya know?) who've had negative experiences or just don't understand me...

and I am a very visual person, so my journeys over at myspace have helped to awaken me because there are so many beautiful images (and people, to my eyes) there... and when I feel personality lust I awaken and take an assessment of me and find how far off from the me I want to be my actual me has wandered and can readjust my perspectives (for instance, the less harmful and more honestly loving lifestyles I am so drawn to remind me that I belong there)... and when I feel physical lust I awaken in this body and feel the sags and atrophy and lethargy and desensitized physical mess I've made of it and that inspires me to put the muscles into action and realign the spine and do what needs to be done to feel the sensitivity and awareness I can know I feel again...

and that leads me to the dreaming of falling in love again in the actual physical world (as opposed to just feeling inspired to write my constant love songs)... if you are not understanding what I mean, then maybe you've never been there, in that moment of being aware... and maybe you've never seen (or been to) the space between the stars...
