1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 59: Methods For Getting Stoned.

I grew up with joints, my favorite way to blaze for a long time. It was great, taking my time to grind the bud, to roll the joint, and finally to find a comfortable spot to chill and blaze it at. It was so relaxing, the way the high from a joint slowly starts to … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 59: Methods For Getting Stoned. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 58: Culture Contrast, The Music Business.

I was born in the third world, right by the equator, in a country so hot and so violent you might think you're in hell if you came to visit. If you looked a bit closer though, you might find that it is also a place of peaceful villages, a place of family harmony, a … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 58: Culture Contrast, The Music Business. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 56: Watch What You Say.

I hear people talk about so many useless and random things. I don't criticize them on the spot, or behind their back to anyone, since I remember the days when I also used to speak just for the sake of speaking, just to be seen, just to be heard and acknowledged. I always had to … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 56: Watch What You Say. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 55: The Lessons You’ve Taught Me.

You make me see that things are not always as they seem, you make me appreciate the power of love, something I never believe in before. You taught me compassion, communion, you helped me to see that so much of my confusion was only a choice. You made me realize that I had a choice, … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 55: The Lessons You’ve Taught Me. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 54: Remaining Present While Understanding We Are Beyond Life.

Sometimes it's hard to let go of our ego. We talk about it, we say we believe in the Self beyond the ego, yet as soon as temptation comes we fall in its trap, as soon as anger and frustration hit, we are quick to let our wrath unfold upon everything in its path. We … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 54: Remaining Present While Understanding We Are Beyond Life. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 53: From Tired to Inspired.

Today was another day. I'm tired, but I have enough energy to learn, to read, to write. I'm faded, I ate some pizza so I feel a bit heavy, but I'm comfortable. Today I was thinking back on my fam, the ways in which they may have changed while I've been gone away, the way … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 53: From Tired to Inspired. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 52: Spontaneous Writing, A New Life.

So many things on my mind that I want to write down, but when I sit down to write it's like I don't know what or how. It reminds me of how I started my very first post of this daily thousand-word series. Although some days I feel more clarity than others, most times I … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 52: Spontaneous Writing, A New Life. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 51: Working Back Home and Abroad.

I'm at work at the moment. Normally we don't have internet connection here to access sites not related to the job itself, but I just randomly tried to get on WordPress today and it worked, and there's a lot of free time in between calls, so it's a perfect moment for me to get started … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 51: Working Back Home and Abroad. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 50: 50 Days Writing! Goals Review.

Half a hundred days of writing and posting a thousand words. I've failed at some other goals during this time, and I've restarted them right back for another attempt, but I'm especially happy that I've been able to stay on track with this particular goal. I was just letting my wife know about it. It's … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 50: 50 Days Writing! Goals Review. →
