On Making Mistakes

"The sages do not consider that making no mistakes is a blessing. They believe, rather,
that the great virtue of man lies in his ability to correct his mistakes and continually to make a new man of himself."

I've been in my yoga outfit all day and haven't done any yoga yet. But I did accomplish a lot. Now it's a beautiful evening... Think I'll go walk. I've been surrounded by people wanting my attention and I've given it to them, so my head is exhausted. But its ok because my son came home and brought a cute girl with him. Now they are driving back to college. She's a vegetarian, majoring in Engineering, and going to buy a motorcycle.

You know it's these beautiful summer nights that make me forget myself. Who am I? What year is this? And why am I not allowed to spend the whole night in the grass on top of the hill? Where are all my friends?

zonedin said...

I'm conversing with the neighborhood cats again. And I know you are sleeping, but when I am sleeping, you'll have something to read. Maybe you don't care about that. You've got a bird to take care of.

zonedin said...

If I love to communicate so much, why do I always want to be alone? It worked out good with my travel roommate because I told her the first night that we talked till she fell asleep, I told her I'm going to enjoy being roommates with her but she should know something about me that I like to be alone too and if I don't sit with her on the bus or if I pull away from the group, it has nothing negative to do with her. It's just me and she can mix and mingle as she likes, it won't offend me.

So for the most part she understood that and had no problem, but towards the end she wanted more attention. I think I may have been the only person who never sat next to the same person twice and got my own two seats a couple times. I really like it that way. There was one day that a lady sat with me and her roommate ended up being upset, so much that I saw her crying under her sunglasses as she sat in her bus seat alone. We were just talking a lot, but after that the lady sat next to her roommate every single time we got on the bus.

zonedin said...

I do have favorite people who I wish I could be with all the time, so I get that. I just find observing people and behaviors interesting. But I think maybe I'm not a good friend to have. But I know I can be a good friend. I know that but expectations are different for each individual. I can be a good friend but I must have space to breath and I have to have interactions with other people too, why does that feel to other people like you're cheating the friendship? I don't think that way. This has been a problem for me since I was young.

zonedin said...

If people can accept me as I am, then I am pretty seriously devoted...otherwise, I stop trying.

zonedin said...

Today I weighed myself and I was four pounds lighter than I've been. It felt good and my yoga pants and tank top looked good on me. So now if I lose four more, my back will feel great again. After that it would be six more pounds and I'll feel light as a feather, so much that I could fly:-))

zonedin said...

I know you don't care about me and I know you say weight doesn't matter, but in my case it has mattered because it's meant that I've been sick. My natural weight is not what I have been these last couple years. I've lived forty-nine years so I know when I feel abnormal and sick. Now my face will just have more wrinkles but at least my back shouldn't hurt. Maybe I'll luck out on the wrinkles? Someone just told me that if I lose weight the wrinkles will happen.

zonedin said...

I dont care about the wrinkles. I just want to feel good doing grande jetes and pat-de-chats again. Ok, I'll stop now. You probably don't need to read all this. Have a nice morning:-)

V said...

It's ok. About cats, well, my niece's cat has decide staying in my room is the best option now and to have "siesta" where I take pichiflins for a little break on the balcony ..... I think he is going Sylvester.
Well, I find you are a kinda sick jealous person, so about friendship what can I tell you? you are the same you say those people are ¿?
I find if you lose the weight just with exercise, sweating, wrinkles won't happen like that, also you use good creams and take plenty fruits. But that is how I think about the matter :)

zonedin said...

I don't think you quite understood what I was saying. I'm fine with what other people want to do in relation of clinging to each other and not spending time with other people in the group. They can do whatever they want, I just know right off the bat that I am not good at that. Besides it was too hot to be sitting shoulder to shoulder every time we got on the bus. I've got to have some breathing room. I might have considered putting my stuff so I could have my own two seats the entire time, but I thought I should be more sociable so occasionally I cleared the seat next to me. I don't think that means anything about me being a jealous person. I despise jealousy as an emotion.

zonedin said...

BUt if you want me to confess my jealousy, I can do that. I am human afterall. So the times I feel jealousy are when I find another human being that I am absolutely crazy about. It's not very often that I find someone that I feel this magnitude of "crazy about." In fact, I enjoy many people, but it's really rare for me to find someone I want to know inside and out, upside down and all about. When I find a person like this, then I do feel jealousy if they do not give me the time of day. I use it as an opportunity to work on my feelings, because I think that is the purpose in this coming into my life...to work on my jealousy control. I just think to myself how much better I will be as a person if I can survive this without losing control? Maybe it is just covering it up or building a wall? But I don't think allowing jealousy to rule is necessarily a wise thing. It's a very dangerous emotion.

zonedin said...

I noticed you named the little birdie Pichiflins, cute. How is he doing? You have to be careful with the cat being there so much. My cats would easily eat a bird of that size. So far they have not tried to kill the chicken that I am taking care of for my friend. I worried that they might team up on it. BUt then I had hoped if I show my cats that this bird is a friend and they see me taking care of it, they will know it is part of the family. I don't know if it works that way, but so far they leave the chicken alone. They might be afraid to be hen pecked?

V said...

well, for moments I thought the cat wanted me to take care of him as I do with the birdy or maybe be friends with the birdy, but ... just in case and considering its small size can't take the risk, pichifling is as long as my finger ....

V said...

I will try to upload a video of pichiflins :D

zonedin said...

Oh Cool!

V said...

:D http://youtu.be/_SqX9xlsYeE

zonedin said...

Ahhh! he's so cute! What fun to be able to help this little birdie.

zonedin said...

Maybe I can do a chicken video? I might try.

zonedin said...

Did you see it? I have to post as a new posting. It's not that interesting, the chicken just wanted to eat. Maybe I can get a funnier one later? She's a funny bird and wants to come into the house, but she has no discretion where she drops her poop.

V said...

yeah, I know that, they don't use toiletts.

V said...

haha so why is it you have a chicken? I was more impressed about the cat actually, it's very big!! :D

zonedin said...

He's my Snickerdoodle kitty. He lost his mother and I bottle fed him, so he loves to be cradled in my arms. He's part Mainecoon kitty.
The chicken is my friends and I'm taking care of it while she's on vacation.

V said...

ok

zonedin said...

Good night.

zonedin said...

Have a nice weekend!

zonedin said...

Is every thing ok? Are you sick of me now?

V said...

It's ok

zonedin said...

I heard there is some violence and civil unrest in Spain.. There's a black-out in the media... So no way for anyone to know if it's true. Is it?

zonedin said...

One thing is happy... The Chili Peppers are there now:-)

V said...

I didn't heard about it ¿? as long as I know no problem. People make strikes and all that but .... maybe in Cataluña, Barcelona, when they express themselfs, they beat them down in a horrible way which is no legal.

zonedin said...

My friend says its gone on 44 days and a mini civil war between politicians, greed, power and corruption. It's being kept silent and covered with the soccer stuff in media. Sounds terrible.
So you are fortunate that it is not happening in your area.
Peace and love to you.

V said...

nothing is happening in Spain, are you inventing that?
oh! the price of the light is more expensive now :/

V said...

I have people all around, in the west, north, people in north-east, it's fine. There is a lot of pressure, that is for sure, but you know .... like in all the world mainly

zonedin said...

Maybe you can tell me if this is real or made up, because I don't know how to read Spanish>

zonedin said...

I don't invent things. Only when I am playing by myself. Nobody has to play with me...and if they play, they will know that I am inventing things.

V said...

yes, that is for the credit crunch and the police instead of helping they, beat them up for asking for their rights, but they did that many times, in Barcelona as I told you .... when police is against citizens is like a white corpuscle cancer .... I wouldn't like to be a police man right now really :/ it's so ridiculous and pathetic what they do ....
But that is not war. We had that in the north of Spain for years and years when I was a little girl ..... Spain is like that I think :)

V said...

this country is full of bullshit, that is for sure. If you go to live to the streets, there you stay .... no one will really give you a roof, a place like this that way ... it's the biggest shame ever that to happen in any country ... in any country. Shame on them!!!! -_-

zonedin said...

So that sounds terrible. Yea, they weren't saying an actual war, just a mini civil war like conditions I think they were saying, but the worst is if this is all hidden by the media...that is what gets me. How the media is supposed to show all sides and be neutral, but it really isn't.

V said...

you think they are covering that? there are many strikes, some are agressive, some don't .... I don't believe in strikes.

zonedin said...

We don't see it in the world news. It's like Spain is all peaceful happy, wonderful and we're the one all screwed up. Of course we do have our problems, but I have not seen any police violenc or civil unrest in California for a very long time. We had this "Occupy" business...seemed very passive and unemotional/// except a couple tear gas moments.

V said...

Spain is peaceful and happy actually, but as everyone else and this pre-order controlling thing in the planet, the pressure is just way too much ..... I do like Spain it is just that most people have squared minds and that is so not me ... when people don't work too much have many time to talk about others and judge, that is very spanish, I don't like it, and then this thing about family as gypsies, can't stand it really :/ I don't think we are such hard workers, I do believe we have the passion towards certain matters sometimes .... people say we are known for procastination, sure!!

zonedin said...

I remember the whole country took a long three hour nap every day when I was there but we stayed up late at night and everyone was really friendly and helpful. A girl named Andy was crazy about my dad and helped us a lot:-)

V said...

we don't take a three hour nap lol

zonedin said...

Well everything shut down, closed up shutters and doors. We could do nothing but go take a nap in the middle of the day. It was the seventies, maybe not the same anymore. What's everybody doing if not sleeping???

V said...

working? maybe taking a rest? my brother does sleep after lunch .....

V said...

I'm going to sleep now. Good night :D

zonedin said...

Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite:-)
