Well.. at least I wasn't in the obituaries this morning


I am on the down hill side of "flu like symptoms". Two days this week I've had to call in at 7:30 and ask if I can come in at 1:00pm, so I can get some extra sleep. My throat is on fire, my head is splitting, and I have no energy. I'm fortunate to have a good boss in my Air Force career. I also called in at the music store today. I really feel like shit.

In my last post I mentioned that I've been in a funk lately. A lot of my regular visitors offered some great encouragement. I want to thank them all. I know this will be a temporary deal.

I stopped at the drum store where my drum instructor (and mentor) works. I told him about the funk I've experencing and my lack of spiritual enlightenment. He gave me some really sage advice. Today has been the first time in weeks I've had a chance to visit with him. Since I've gotten the job at the music store, I always rush home. I used to stop at his drum store every day after work. It was a way for me to unwind after work every day. I miss that now.

One of the blogs I enjoy is
addict's. In her recent post, she tells about an experience she had visiting a medium. It is a great post, and got me thinking about my quest for higher knowledge of spirituality that I started a few months ago. Lately I've made no strive what so ever to persue my quest. Therefore, I think some of the funk I'm in is the result of my lack of motivation. The picture above is of some artwork on my back. The Egyption symbols weave a story about life. I still need to get my 3 childrens name put on each point of the ankh, and I would like to get a scarab underneath the ahnk to complete the theme.

I hope to pull out of this rut I'm in and get back to my spiritual quest.

Good luck on your spiritual quest Paul, I had a spiritual path, but I am just sitting on the side of the road taking everything in for now. Dont get me wrong I pray plenty, but I stopped attending services on a regular basis about a year ago. Someday I will go back, but not today, today is Wed by the way not Sunday. I love your tats. Oh and the reason you love Addict is because she is so much like ME..lol but really I love that woman...you should have HER do the rest of your tats, if you wanna go clear to bumblefart washington or wherever she lives....You will get defunked here soon I hope, I hope we all do. My funk is on its way out since the boy got a job, except now I have to share my car which I hate doing but oh well whattaya gonna do? ok now I have to run over to Emilys blog and see what your talking about...lol
