Kayak

So I have this crazy idea that I am going to build a Kayak. That I guess is the easy part.
Since I have no tools and no woodworking or sewing skills, I bought a book.

I suppose for the next while I will be buying and borrowing the things I need to complete this project. Since I have nothing it may take quite some time. I will try to update as often as possible but I don't think that will be real frequent.

Hopefully soon it will look like this.

Check out his boats they are amazing!

From the fall (literaly)

I guess I am an idiot... No wisecracks please. So today I was goofing around and walked off a loading dock. Some how I miraculously twisted my head and shoulder out of the way of three large nails poking out next to the two pallets I landed on. Got a little scraped up but all in all ok. Thank God I can laugh at myself.

dream

Ok I really don't remember much about these two dreams but here is the jist of it.

I am in a fairly large house. It feels very spacious because of the lack of walls each room is open to the others. Charlie Sheen comes walking up to me. I don't know how but suddenly I have a pair of kitchen knives and I cut off both his hands.

Weird

In another, I go with friends in the evening to have some coffee at the local shop. lots of people around. I place the order. when the coffee comes out, the friends I was with becomes a woman in a wheel-chair who refuses the coffee and disappears from the room.

even stranger.

John Muir day

“Most people are on the world, not in it - having no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them - undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate”

“Memories may escape the action of the will, may sleep a long time, but when stirred by the right influence, though that influence be light as a shadow, they flash into full stature and life with everything in place”

Having spent a long weekend feeling alienated and alone, coupled with not being able to sleep last night. (a very rare occurance for me but becoming more frequent) After managing to grab an hour or so, for some reason in my groggy stupor, I thought of this verse this morning... "Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart." - Ecclesiastes 7:3 In reality I think I am facinated by this whole passage of scripture. Especially 26. "I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare." How many of these women have I known? Most of them actually. Which I believe speaks much more of me than of them. I am the sinner who wants to be snared trapped and or chained... damn tourists.

I'm Intrigued

Kayak anyone?

Dream

Last night I had a dream that I had long hair. Again or still I dont know, since I used to years ago. Someone unseen was styling/taking care of it. Just hands tying it in a knot then changing it. Eventually it/they just pulled the top half back and put it in a hair tie. The dream was oddly real and even on waking up I thought I still had long hair, until of course I looked in the mirror realized my hair was short and thought "Oh, that was a strange dream". Weird.
