<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I feel like a butterfly...or rather a caterpillar growing into a butterfly.</p>
<p>I remember in 5th grade, in Ms. O'Neal's class, we watched caterpillars grow into butterflies. We got them in one of those kits that you order and had them in a glass case with branches and everything. I don't remember all of the details of the project but I do remember learning about the way caterpillars grow into butterflies, the way they are wrapped in a cocoon and slowly, over time, grow within that cocoon and when it is spring time, they begin to slowly break out of and unfold out of the cocoon. I remember this and although I didn't like the fact that butterflies were bugs (lol), I do remember how beautiful they looked as they unfolded out of their cocoon.</p>
<p>What I wonder now, remembering those images from the 5th grade, is whether or not the caterpillar felt tight or as if it was hard to breathe just before it begin to break out of its cocoon? I wonder if the butterfly ever felt a heaviness on its chest as it was pushing against the inner walls of the cocoon? I wonder if the butterfly was worried about how it would feel, look, and be on the other side of the cocoon?</p>
<p>I just read something from <strong>Pema Chödrön</strong> (formerly known as <strong>Deirdre Blomfield-Brown</strong>) who is an ordained Buddhist nun who says the goal of her work is the ability to apply Buddhist teachings in everyday life. I read an interview she had with Oprah Winfrey in which she was describing to Oprah that people, when they are presented with pain/uncomfortable feelings, that instead of running from the feelings, instead of just trying to turn to something happier or sunnier, people should <strong>stay</strong> <strong>with the experience</strong>.</p>
<p>Pema says that one should stay with the tightness in the throat, the heaviness on the chest or in the stomach and remind oneself that there are millions of people all over the world with this discomfort, this fear, this feeling of not wanting things to be as they currently are -- or you can just breathe deeply during these feelings and stay with yourself through this experience. She says that if you run from the feelings, you will cut yourself off from compassion and empathy for others and will begin or continue a chain reaction in which you feel isolated and you strike out and hurt others if not just yourself.</p>
<p>I don't know why I happened upon this old article and decided to read it, but I am glad I did. And I think I just answered my previous questions regarding the butterfly. It doesn't matter whether or not the butterfly feels a tightness of the chest, difficulty breathing, or just worry about what is on the other side -- the fact of the matter is that the butterfly understands that it must come out on the other side in order to continue living. It has no choice...</p>
<p>I am gonna be like the butterfly...I am staying with the experience and whatever other experiences come my way...and I no longer hope to come out on the other side in one piece....I know I will.</p>

<p>I am untangling, paring down, resting, consolidating.  Planning, perusing, consoling, carousing.  Reading, and doodling, absorbing, wafting and clearing.</p>
<p>Shaking dust from corners, letting new air flow through.  Shivering slightly and preparing for the new.</p>
<p>New inspiration, new directions, new plans, new thrills.  Next steps.</p>
<p>Nothing to show but another cocoon.  Always uncomfortable, but always worth it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had the opportunity to photograph a very sweet 6 week old baby girl today!  I was so excited to get to try out a few new props.  And Lauren was (for the most part) happy to let me pose her how ever I wanted.  Here is a quick peek at our session.  I also went to a park later in the day and got some great photos of Lauren with her big brother and parents.  I'll try and post a few of those soon!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>I dropped Mom off at the airport today, hugged her goodbye, and went back to sit in my car. Alone. It felt almost surreal to be all alone again, this time halfway across the country.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>It has been a month since I arrived in Eunice, LA, and what 'a long strange trip it's been'. :) Furthermore, for the past two weeks, Mom and I have been vacationing essentially by ourselves - first to New Orleans, and then Texas.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>Without meaning to sound even remotely insulting to my mother, for I had a great time with her, but the past month has definitely thrown me off. Some of my strength and passion dissipated, and I felt myself being drawn back into that shell... away from the light, not only of the world, but the light within myself. However, after enough moping around and introspective thought today, I came to the conclusion that it was probably good for me, since it reminded me of my original goals, and where I had strayed. It hopefully will assist me in getting back on track, and learning how to be strong - as Kara Emily Krantz.  This showed me that there needs to be a balance between the dream of me, and the reality of the world. One can only press oneself so insistently and suddenly upon the world... an imprint needs to be made slowly, and with care.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>I had started to get close to an affirming, authentic sense of unshakable self, but apparently it is still very shakeable, for the past few weeks have been rough on me.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>But other than that...</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>Mom and I went to the San Antonio Zoo, which was fantastic, even though it was unbearably hot (as mostly everywhere is here). It's been really fun to go to all these zoos - as I've mentioned before, the zoo has a special place in my heart. The little 5-year-old in me recalls those last fading moments of innocence, when family was a unit and all that mattered was the Panda Bears. :)</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>We also went to The Alamo (wayyyy lame I don't want to talk about it), Mission San Jose (awesome) where there was a fantastic documentary that simply blew me away. Yesterday... Mom and I went to New Braunfels where the world's number one water park is located, Schlitterbaun... which basically resulted in a day of HELL. But I've never been a big fan of water parks. Haha. Oh man. Quite the day, though.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>We stayed in a beautiful hotel resort, where I am tonight by myself (Mom gave me the last night), and we walked down the Riverwalk (which contrary to Joshua's opinion I found to be beautiful and wonderful), and walked through the shops in La Villita, and had a great steak dinner (and some horrible tex-mex). We met up with Joshua twice, and my mom actually liked him (which is shocking- she's not a fan of the opposite sex, especially if they're talking to ME). She even dreamed about him last night, but I didn't tell him that. He'll have to find that out when he reads this, haha. :P</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003300;"><strong>But now Mom is gone, and I'm here alone. Went through a melancholy, emo stage for a while where I crawled into bed and pouted, but a few friends rallied for me, and I knocked myself out of it. Walked down the Riverwalk by myself, took some pictures, packed up the car, and I'm basically all better. Just trying to get up the energy to keep working on my cocoon, and hopefully, eventually become that butterfly. Like I said, there's been some serious setbacks these past few weeks, but it's all right. God doesn't give us anything that we can't handle, and I'm starting to think that nothing happens that isn't meant to occur at a given time - to assist us or confront us along this winding, often dirt-trodden path.</strong></span></p>

<p>I don't think my life could possibly get any busier even if I wanted it to. I've been working well over full-time hours in last few weeks, on top of that I've been managing my personal side of things, then on top of that organizing party events in my city, managing my basketball league, working second job, trying to find time to enjoy myself, and at the end of the day, I often find myself passing right out at night instead of digging up some time to come online, let alone update the blog. For this I apologize, but don't think I will let it go by without giving you guys a treat and show you that I appreciate your constant support! ;)</p>
<p>Our good friends at <a href="http://www.cocoon.net/" target="_blank">Cocoon Records</a> have released their latest compilation entitled 'H', which is packed with 12 tracks that will absolutely blow you away, no matter the style you're into. It covers everything from deep minimal, to tech house, so whatever your flavor is, I should have you covered! Enjoy my friends, and here's to hoping that I will find a little more of balance in my life, with time-management anyway, so I can come back to the swing of things on here like I used to. Take care and be safe.</p>

I entered this contest for fun, and I would like to see where I could get if all of you voted for me once a day. <a href="http://www.canadasocial.com/windsor/index.php?module=stud&#38;action=browse" target="_blank">Click here to vote!</a> (for those who aren't familiar with my name yet, it's 'Zoran Dakovic') Make sure to check your e-mail after you submit your vote to confirm the ballot.

Salah satunya adalah yang akan dereview sekarang, yaitu O2 Cocoon. Hape pintar O2 kali ini memakai konsep clamshell/flip dengan sudut-sudut membbulat, membuat desain hape ini unik dan lucu. Di luarnya terdaat hidden display dengan teks berwarna biru. Di bodi samping, terdapat music control button yang mempermudah mengontrol musik. Kameranya beresolusi 2 megapiksel dilengkapi autofokus. Yang unik, tombol navigasi/D-pad di O2 Cocoon dapat berfungsi sebagai scroll wheel yang dapat diputar. Sayangnya, ciri khas hape ini sebagai smartphone tidak begitu kelihatan, karena hilangnya Wi-Fi dan terutama hilangnya sistem operasi. Tapi, hape ini mempunyai memori yang sangat lapang. Memori internalnya 36MB dan memiliki built-in harddisk sebesar 2GB. Di luar negeri sudah mulai dipasarkan, tapi kelihatannya tidak akan dipasarkan di Indonesia.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the drive home after a get together with friends, I found myself reflecting on some of our conversation.  It is truly sad the number of bad bosses there are in the world.  I have shared this before but it is sad that I don't know a single person who likes their immediate boss. I mean likes as in they are learning new things from this person, enjoys the working relationship, feels motivated by this person, and is actively being developed and coached by this person.  All I ever hear is how miserable my friends are and how much they can't stand their boss.  It is rarely the company, or the pay, or the benefits.</p>
<p>What I hear repeatedly are things like:  my boss is an idiot, my boss has no vision, my boss couldn't make a decision if it was to save her soul, my boss is a jerk, my boss doesn't know anything about what I do, my boss wouldn't even know where to find me (this boss must never leave her office), my boss doesn't even know enough to be the receptionist, my boss talks a good game but that's all it is- talk and a game, my boss makes big to-do's about things once and then never mentions them again (that's corporate America for you - mission statements and core values discussed once, never to be heard from again).</p>
<p>I find it more and more amazing that Gen X'ers are starting their own businesses.  My belief is we are tired of working for Corporate America when layoffs, pension cuts, insurance increases, little or no pay raises (1-3% pay raises for the past 10 years is a smack in the face), fading bonuses, and increased work demands provide little time for anything else.  What amazes me is the hope, determination, and desire that still exists and is now being shared with the world.  If you would like daily inspiration, I suggest this <a href="http://blog.escapefromcorporate.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>.  I can suggest other sources as you decide to paint your professional canvas!</p>

<p>Avui he descobert aquesta<a href="http://bcohendesign.com/"> joiera </a>i he quedat fascinada per les seves peces. De formes i materials orgànics les formes passen del geometrisme a la ondulació creant formes increïbles. Les seves tres col·leccions són Mesh, Cocoon i Stone, cada una amb les seves peculiaritats i singularitats. A mi m'ha agradat especialment la de Cocoon on treballa amb capolls de cucs de seda.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I originally put this up as a main page, but since most of this is going to change later on anyway, and it's not going to be a priority for a while, it's been demoted to a mere post. Oh well :-)</p>
<div class="entry">
<div class="snap_preview">
<p>Although published the following would be fiction, or a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonfiction_novel" target="_blank">nonfiction novel</a> at best, the following book is in fact an autobiographical account of the more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysticism" target="_blank">mystical</a> (for lack of a better word) side of myself. Due to its fundamental nature and premise, this book is written more metaphorically than anything else.</p>
<p>Although I cannot confirm this anymore than the main character, I have the same conviction as that character that these things are indeed the truth. I strongly believe that the each letter of which the Bible is composed, the writings of Joanne Greenberg, as well as others throughout history, have shared similar experiences as myself, albeit some of which the source of these varies, and even conflicts with.</p>
<p>Although I cannot possibly expect anyone to believe any the above, I’m confident that science-fiction and fantasy lovers alike should full appreciate the Essence of the Soul, and its sequels (which there most definitely will be)</p>
<p>*Note there will be a quite a bit  of editing (once I get around to it), particularly in the first half- so “stay tuned”*</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Essence Of The Soul</span><br />
<span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
<span style="font-size:85%;"> <span style="font-size:x-small;">by Justin Benjamin</span></span></span></p>
<p>By which method can one determine reality? We have guides all around us, things like the senses, logic, and the perceptions of those around us, but does it not vary from person to person, even if only the slightest? In addition, with all honesty we can only accept that this reality we are bound by is wholly attributed to the past. What if reality was something to be discovered, is something to be explored? Most choose to leave those questions unanswered, and accept the reality created by the past. Some indulge in determining their own fate, but “in reality” are still bound by the same legacy; many of these would not realize this even if they were told, because the vast majority of the rules bestowed upon us are painfully unsaid. It would seem that this would sum up all those that are governed by this antiquity in one way or another, But let us not forget the select few that make the choice to abandon these limitations and create their own reality- although some do not yet know they have made the choice.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:100%;"> Chapter 1- The mysterious piano</span></p>
<p>In the the elevator of Congress Library’s Madison Building, all inside were backed against the walls, most of which seemed to be holding their breath…except one. Was this person dangerous? No. Did he have a deadly illness that was highly contagious. Most definitely not. But Jason Thomas did have a quality that seemed a novelty in this day and age- His life was not influenced by society in any way, shape or form. In fact, he actually influenced society. Not only that- his disconnection from the rules of society even extends to his ideas about life. To put it bluntly, he believes what he want to believe, and his logic is highly original. It should be noted that having a logic as unique as this prohibits believing in something that anyone but him came up with, which of course means he does not believe in Big Foot, aliens, and other supernatural phenomena that have echoes through the centuries.</p>
<p>However, this does not explain why all but himself are against the wall, barely drawing breath. Well, the answer to this is comparably simple- He had simply casually mentioned that he had a deadly and contagious disease, and went on to explain the details, endlessly (to those around him) building upon the fearful visual. Within the first 30 seconds, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that he indeed had the disease, and furthermore, was mentally unstable. Jason is actually one of the most honest people you’d ever meet, and probably is the most candid. That being said, how could he lie so convincingly? The answer would shock most, so try to keep an open mind- He can because he is so honest. Now before you get worked up about this paradox, Let me explain: Jason’s honesty allowed him to realize that reality cannot be defined, or if it can that definition is not static. Thus, because at least one version of reality involves him having a deadly and highly contagious disease, He could easily believe it and cause others to as well. In truth, however, for him to get sick was so rare a thing that some may call it an omen. He could count the times he’d been sick in his life on his fingers.</p>
<p>Jason loved playing mind-games, although sometimes he loathed this about himself- people don’t like others to mess with their heads, and so at times this hobby of his resulted in social isolation. The habit was so hard to break (since it’s so damn fun), so he gave up trying to break it, although he still thinks about it on occasion. He also didn’t care much for what people think about his actions. Not that he didn’t take other’s thoughts into consideration, but usually he found that his original thoughts were best. That’s the kind of person he is. You could say that most of the time he just took in others’ perspectives as a courtesy. Understandably, sometimes he wondered why he even bothered.</p>
<p>Now they had reached the first floor, and as the doors opened, all those inside scrambled out like bats out a cave. Jason gave himself a moment to take in the pleasantly comic scene, and then proceeded to head home. Pulling of acts like this are actually a daily occurrence for him, so you might wonder at what kind of person he is, having that much time on his hands. The truth may surprise you- the reason he has that much time on his hands is because pulling off acts like this is his job! Now as convenient as this may sound, most of the work isn’t that easy. Sure he got to indulge in his favorite hobby, but that was only for ten minutes of each work day. The rest of the time, he wrote notes, analyzed data, researched statistics. These were all the things that he was good at, so I guess you could say it was the perfect job for him. The results of his work have a significant impact on the future of society, and he knows it- but the goals that he has in mind far exceed even that. Well, that being said, even Jason is not yet fully aware of the extent of his goals; much of this is still buried in his subconscious, waiting to be discovered.</p>
<p>After Jason got home, he received a call on his cell immediately after stepping out of the call. He heard the familiar trance tone he selected, and immediately knew that it was someone he did not know. The reason why he chose trance for these cases were that both trance music and the idea of getting calls from random people were both very exciting to him. Perhaps his anticipation was correct in this case…</p>
<p>But in this case it was someone he did know- it was his good friend Tony.</p>
<p>“Bet you were wondering who was calling, huh?” he remarked.</p>
<p>“Well actually, my cell just died, so I had to use the pay phone. I knew I should’ve replaced it by now, and speak of the devil!” Jason grinned.</p>
<p>“Well anyways, listen- there’s these rumors going around about this mysterious piano. But these aren’t the everyday rumors- no one has any actual information on it, and we all know if it was made up, someone would be a better job. I thought you’d want to check it out. Me personally, well you know me- I’m not the one interested in that stuff. Why don’t you check it out?”</p>
<p>“You read my mind- hey Tony, did I ever tell you I have something of a hobby for playing piano?”</p>
<p>“No, you haven’t. That being the case, what kept you from telling me until now?” Tony asked.</p>
<p>“Don’t be silly- I just said it’s <em>something</em> of a hobby. You know well that my other hobbies are a whole lot more that something. The truth is, I just never got around to telling you, or even thought about it. I was too preoccupied with those other hobbies, as I’m sure you understand.”</p>
<p>“Ok you got me, I give!” They both laugh. “Okay, I won’t give away any spoilers, I know you wouldn’t like that. The address is at 828 PROSPECT PL, 53703- so yeah, it’s pretty near here. So I’ll leave things at that- I’ll catch you later then.”</p>
<p>Tony was more than a friend, he was a brother to Jason. Actually, he didn’t follow the philosophy of ‘blood’s thicker than water.’ Sure there is an undeniably convincing amount of history behind family bonds, But that was about the only thing that could support that type of thinking in his mind. Plus Jason never really spent much time with his family, so he didn’t know any of them at all. One exception was his cousin Joy. But the ironic thing about it was that neither he nor any of his immediate family knew of her existence until after he had reached the age of majority. To this day, he still didn’t know much about her, but he kind of liked it that way- so Jason didn’t press her about her past.</p>
<p>So Jason got in the car, and headed down to the address he and Tony discussed, but halfway down there, something changed. he didn’t know what it was, but was sure that it was important. It was a bit surprising, because there is the inevitable question “How could I know that something changed if I don’t even have the slightest idea of what it might be?” But instead of worrying about this question, he marveled at it- and kept his mind occupied with what it might be. Not for long though- because soon he found such an engrossing thing was too dangerous while driving.</p>
<p>Upon reaching the place, Jason suddenly became aware of the location of the piano, as well as the things surrounding it…all while not knowing why. This is getting to be very interesting! he thought, but if he had been able to see into the future, I doubt he would have said that. Not that is wouldn’t be very interesting, but that just those words wouldn’t cover it. But not only was he aware of the piano, but he felt drawn to it- no just from interest, but almost magnetically. As he approached the piano, a song ran through his head- a beautiful song, no only that he’d never heard, but in a language he was sure was not from this earth. But at the same time the voice in the song did maintain an air of humanity. He felt a growing sense of calm at first, but just as a color spectrum blends together tones that normally clash, The feeling shifted to a a growing passion, melancholy, and ecstasy, as well as others. Awed by the utter splendor of the song, and the undeniable power it possessed, Jason was speechless. He had always be the inquisitive type- but never until now had the questions been so numerous, or so profound. He wanted answers, and knew there was probably only one way to find them.</p>
<p>So he sat at the bench, and began playing the song running through his head. This was not a problem, since Jason was an expert at improvisation. As he began to play, the voice began to changed to blend in harmony with the original song. Upon realizing this, Jason decided to take the challenge and concentrate on improvising the original part. The resulting piece was, quite frankly, out of this world; pity it wasn’t recorded. As he continued to play, Jason began to see a shadow taking form beside him. This must be the owner of the voice, he thought. He was determined to learn more about this person, the secret behind the beauty of her voice, and how she was related to the mysterious piano, and the supernatural aura surrounding it. With that motivation, Jason continued playing with passion worthy of recognition. The shadow grew in clarity, and eventually took the form of what seemed to be female- but the bright and warm glow made it clear that she was not human. But at that point, the song drew to an end. At that moment, she began to fade. But before she had completely disappeared, he distinctly heard her say a few parting words.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>“For the past few centuries, I have been trapped within this…piano. Well, at least that’s what it is now…I don’t have time to explain. I have been very lonely here, and you not only freed me from this prison, but helped me to remember the joy of the simple things in live. In thanks, I will bestow upon you some of the mysteries of the world.”</em></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />
<span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
With those words, she vanished completely, and to his great surprise, the piano along with her. At this point, Jason had a whole lot of questions and no answers, and he thought that quite ironic, especially since she had said that she would bestow upon him mysteries of the world. At least from th surface, it was quite the opposite- she had bestowed him the first mystery he had not solved…Well, of those that he had actually tried to- there are more mysteries than the whole world could even hope to solve in their lives. This being the case, it was clear to him that her words extended beyond human knowledge, and the truth would probably come with time.</span></span></p>
<p>So with that thought in mind, Jason decided to let the truth find him, and began to make his way back home. But even that being said, he was so absorbed in thought, he neglected to call Tony back, and when he decided to call Jason to see what was up- from the outside one could assume he was ignoring it. Finally, Jason heard it- and the shock could have driven him out of his skin if it were loosely attached (which fortunately it was not).</p>
<p>“Hey Jason, what’s up? I was getting worried about you man- with you not calling and then all this time I’ve been calling you- I’ve been worried sick about you.”<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">That was an exaggeration, but it was true that Tony was worried. After all, there isn’t a decent friend out there who wouldn’t be/</span></span></p>
<p>“Yeah, sorry about that- I’ve been really deep in thought. Like you said, it really wasn’t an ordinary mystery. Hey listen, sorry to do this to you, but can we wait till tomorrow to talk about it?”</p>
<p>“No problem- don’t worry about it. That’s my job. Well, guess I’ll be looking forward to the details in anticipation. Hey listen- take care of yourself, okay?”</p>
<p>“I’ll do that- thanks for your concern.” The truth is, Jason didn’t know why he felt the need to put off the talk. It’s true that he was confused, but there was more to it than that. Something told him that he would be best off doing it that way. Perhaps the beginning of the revelations of which the unknown woman (”it”?) was referring. Well, it could have been just wishful thinking, but in this case Jason might not have been relatively close to the truth- or, perhaps the absence of it.</p>
<p>As he lay in bed, Jason was overwhelmed with what seemed to be a trance. Well, not that he would know, not having even been in one- but it was at least exactly what he imagined one to be. But as he “smoldered” in a daze, he became engrossed in the dancing of lights in the shadows of him apartment. He felt a mix of peace, ecstasy, and…Suddenly Jason realized that these all these feelings and the way they blended was exactly the same at it had just hours before while he was listening to the voice, and playing the piano in harmony with it. With that realization, he broke out of the trance instantaneously, and in the same moment realized that under normal circumstances, lights would not dance in the shadows at night.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">Moments after that, he heard a voice speaking out to him. At first the words sounded like gibberish, and had a more chaotic tone, but intuitively he took the initiative and forcefully calmed himself. Then, he reasoned that since this voice was in his head, in order to communicate he had to speak on its terms, which in this case was telepathic.</span> <span><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span><br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span><em>Who are you? I somehow feel that you are close to me, but at the same time far away. Please help me to understand what is going on. </em></span></span><span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">In all honesty, Jason was not even aware of that much until that instant. It was as if at the very moment that he established communication, a small glimpse of the truth had been revealed to him all at once. That, and he was also able to respond under those pretexts at the same time. Well, perhaps it was a bit different, but there are only so many explanations available, considering that the time frame is limited to milliseconds. </span><br />
<span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
<span><em>I am very surprised that we are even able to communicate- this has never happened before. Not in the trillions of years that we have existed. I know everything about you- but, as it is to be expected, you know nothing about me. Normally universal law states that we are not to enlighten humans of the true nature of things, or about their connection to ourselves. But it seems that another of our kind has already done so- and, as is the nature of these things, there is no going back. I don’t know if this is for better or worse, but if you don’t mind I plan to take full advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.</em></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">At these words, Jason became exhausted, and once again fell into a trance. When he finally came to, he was in a world unlike any other. Next to him was a man, glowing with the same radiance of that of the woman that night, and also taking a similar form. Rather than questioning his surrounding (he knew better) Jason took the initiative and began the introductions. “Since you know everything about me, it’s only fair that I know a bit about you. let’s start with your name.”</span></span></p>
<p>“Good question- and the answer is not so simple. Souls- if that is what you would call us, do not have names. The reason for this is that we could not bear to taken on such superficial traditions. Instead, we prefer to familiarize ourselves with each other’s auras-the signature or dna of each individual soul. This is especially appropriate since we only communicate telepathically.”</p>
<p>“On that note, I noticed that right now we are not using that method, but instead as “humans” do. Explain to me how this works.”</p>
<p>“Ah, yes, of course! See, I’ve enveloped us in an illusion for your convenience- seeing as how it can be a bit awkward, if not disconcerting for one such as yourself to communicate in the “normal” manner.</p>
<p>“One more thing…-” he was cut off. “Perhaps it would be better if I read your mind and give you all the answers in an instant.”</p>
<p>“That would be quite convenient…ok go right ahead.”</p>
<p>In that moment Jason learned of this place, of the connection between souls, and several things were cleared up with the answers he was given. To be safe, the soul only informed him of the bare essentials, partly because the development of the human brain was a group effort- and as such no single person had an completely accurate understanding of it. Another reason was because communicating with humans directly, although has happened, only happens about once every 100 years, and only in special circumstance. Thus, the nature of such communication is fundamentally experimental.</p>
<p>The place in which they were currently “conversing” was a middle-ground between dimensions, the realities of souls and of humans. This soul, which prior to these events had been assigned to him, was able to take Jason here using dreams as a catalyst. The reason why it could be done in this way is because this area was the closest to the human psyche- and as such could be reached by an ordinary human while dreaming. At some some point in their life, most humans actually have crossed over to the dimension of souls- but because it is a dream, few if any have ever been able to realize understand, or believe this knowledge- simply because “it was only a dream.” This place is conveniently also the best place for humans to exchange thoughts on a subconscious level, which of course is the best way to exchange thoughts- because there is no better way to ensure applying knowledge effectively.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Even a stranger with an untrained eye would see this place as a utopia, and Jason, a well-prepared and open-minded individual, could fully appreciate the magnificence of it all. He scanned the area, demonstrating uninhibited admiration. But before he had more than a glimpse, He collapsed exhausted in the radiant depths.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<hr />
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">What seemed an eternity later (which is clearly disconcerting, considering that he had been in a dream-state for the previous encounter) he heard a faint voice in the darkness, whispering with a voice comforting, but also stern and serious…</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><em>You must understand- the others are not aware of these circumstances, so we must act with caution, to avoid a conflict. If such a dilemma were to arise, I may not be able to save you…</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Jason thought he recognized the voice-it sounded vaguely familiar. But his mind was in chaos and struggled to retrieve the most minor of details. He wanted to speak, to ask the voice if he knew it (or him), but the words would not come out. He was helpless.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><em>The others have already discovered your presence- A moment more and you would have been completely assimilated. Humans like yourself would not survive such a process, it’s fortunate that I sensed the trouble in time.</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Jason recounted his thoughts. The last thing he remembered was Tony recommending a mysterious piano worth investigating…Jason went over there, but what happened next? He could not remember, and his head was throbbing…</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><em>You seem to have experienced side effects of the partial assimilation. Well, this is to be expected…</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">At that moment, Jason felt a jolt so violent that he thought that his body would go into shock. He was then thrust into a dimension that defied any concept of understanding. He was completely lost in confusion as he drifted weightlessly, surrounded by translucent bubbles composed of matter shifting and fluctuating at such a rate that any single form did not reveal itself long enough to be properly assessed by even the keenest of minds. If his head had felt ready to split prior to this, that pain had somehow grown exponentially, exceeding any and all concepts of “unbearable”. Still unable to speak, Jason desperately called out to anyone, anything that might ease his pain, give him peace. At this point he was sure that he had gone mad, or that his life was about to come to an end.</p>
<p>Then with the same abrupt nature as the first wave, a second wave permeated Jason. This one was of the same overwhelming intensity, but the suffering was replaced with the ecstasy, and the pain with pleasure. The torture that he had previously experienced, which possessed the mysterious quality of seeming both an eternity and a moment, was replaced with this antithesis that only paralleled in terms of magnitude and brilliance. What’s more, earlier half of this phenomenon had begun to slip from his mind. It first began with his mind becoming clouded, and those once vivid details losing their clarification. Then he began to doubt that these feelings had ever actually existed- possessing quality more akin to wisps of smoke than reliable tangibility. Finally he became aware of these shifts of judgments, and desired for these feelings to recover, that he may understand in full the significance of them. There was a great sorrowful aura present amid that of great joy, and such a combination presented itself as being of the utmost importance.</p>
<p>As he relentlessly struggled towards finding the reason and underlying meaning of all this, a third wave pulled Jason away from it, and the ensuing exchange of willpower threatened to consume his body, if it were not ravaged to dust first. Then a miracle occurred…</p>
<hr />A familiar voice called out without words, beckoning Jason to yield, and with such sincerity that he could not refuse. Jason obliged, and was subsequently swept away in the torrent of ceaseless chaos, until finally he experienced what would be the final wave. As he braced himself in foreboding of the eminent intensity, he was taken off guard by an incredible passivity, devoid of all passion. As he zoned in further though, seeking any underlying details in hopes of reaching a better understanding, the wave balanced out, and weaved in and out of itself with a likeness reminiscent of a strand of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the building block and blueprint of life itself. After having realized this, a melody reached his ears; resounding notes blended together in harmony, reaching out from the depths of oblivion. Or rather than blended, they seemed to be independently joined, but how could this be? After speculating on this, Jason became aware that these notes were in fact parts of one being, although he himself could never understand why, despite having no conscious reason for coming this conclusion, this seemed to be an indisputable truth, devoid of all doubt. At this point Jason had finally become relaxed, and completely alert, and attended to his instinctual desire to better understand his surroundings- namely the melody. But it soon became obvious that this was not necessary, as the melody, and entity thereof, was prepared to divulge all that he needed- or rather, wanted to know regarding the nature of these things, and- more importantly, the Essence Of The Soul.<em>I’ve finally reached you…</em></p>
<p>Jason’s surroundings began to contort, that is, if contortion of such substance was possible. He felt himself being pulled…carried by something like wind. Reality itself had redefined itself, so it was futile to be sure of anything. Somehow, that gave him a feeling of peace, and even more of satisfaction. Where did these feelings come from, they were ones that Jason was sure he had never felt in response to such circumstances. Normally he would have been confused, anxious, upset, and others of a similar negative nature. In such chaotic circumstances, that would be only natural. But he was not questioning these irregularities out of concern, but out of curiosity. Like never before, he longed to understand all that he could of this being, feeling a bond so strong that it seemed inseparable, to such a point that even time possessed not the power to break it. And yet he also knew not why he could have such confidence in these things, having no actual knowledge of any of these surroundings, much less the entity enveloping  him. As Jason pondered these things pensively, he finally took a moment to once again reexamine his surroundings, and was taken off guard: The entity had wrapped him in something like a cocoon, which he now floated weightlessly in comfortably.</p>
<p><em>There are many things to explain; the excitement of it all, of our meeting is a blessing- I have long anticipated this, and finally…</em></p>
<p>He now became aware that, although he understood these thoughts as if they were words, and of his language…In truth he was hearing the words in two different ways- the way that this being best understood, and that which he best understood. The more that Jason listened, the more that he sensed the blending of their understanding. At first they were two different languages, embedded in one stream, but as their thoughts flowed freely, they came together as one. Their thoughts had begun to merge…</p>
<p><span><em>I see that you have realized it-</em></span><em> the</em><span><em> nexus </em></span><span><em>that has brought us together…kept us together…allowed us to harmonize so beautifully!<br />
</em></span><br />
Without a doubt, this was indeed the case; Jason was sure this must be the case- it was without doubt in his mind, after contemplating on the underlying harmony and consonance weaved into their communication. But at the same moment he realized this, he felt an incredible, mysterious attraction to this being. Was this passion? No. Was it instinct? Most definitely not. Although he knew it would be exceedingly difficult to grasp the meaning of it all, it was clear that becoming one with this entity was a necessity, with the reason why seeming minuscule in comparison with the need, which commanded such an urgency that could not be ignored or disregarded.</p>
<p>All of this time, Jason had been remarkably silent, something he knew was out of character for him. He had become content with merely observing, and why? The answer came to him instantaneously- it was because he was dumbstruck by the breathtaking and surreal nature of his surroundings, which clearly defied any concept of reality to which he had ever adhered to or even heard of before. At first, he concluded that he had discovered the answer to he question by means of deductive reason or logic, but the entity cut off his thoughts…<br />
<em><br />
No, the answer you have received was not, as it may seem, the product of your own reasoning- although this itself also was a gift to your kind, and it may have assisted in the dilemma we now face. I have bestowed to you the gift of kn</em><span><em>owing the answer to any inquiry regarding the underlying reason of anything- That is, any time you ask “Why?” you shall know. Now you will forget all of these happenings, and those things that played a role in our meeting shall remain forgotten. This is a necessity, that which is meant to be, and so it shall be. In time, however, you shall recover your memory of these things; when the time is right you will know. Your journey will be long and filled with troubles, but without a doubt you will find the Essence of the Soul. When you finally find it, all that was hidden will be revealed- though there is much in the world that is hidden but not known; the reason that life is worth living is indeed because we will never know all the answers</em><em><em>.</em></em></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some strange and wonderful things have cropped up on the Arsenal Center land in Watertown: twine-like cocoons and colorful pea pods. The honeycomb-like cocoons are subtle and caught my eye when they were drifting in the wind—giant interpretations of caterpillar retreats. That's my take on them, anyway. Birds, listen up: this is a prime nesting opportunity.</p>
<p><a href="http://musingsatapicnic.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/tree-cocoons.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-195" src="http://musingsatapicnic.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/tree-cocoons.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><a title="Mother Pod artist" href="http://lauramorrisonart.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Mother Pod</a> is colorful, fanciful, and hard to miss: a larger-than-life pod connected, umbilical cord-like, to a baby pod, both in deep shades of red and purple. The soft material (felt and wool sweaters) makes you yearn to curl up and take a nap in the warmth of the pod.</p>
<p><a href="http://musingsatapicnic.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/peapod.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-196" src="http://musingsatapicnic.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/peapod.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The installments are part of the Arsenal Center for the Arts' "Nature and Balance" exhibit that runs through the fall. I love serendipitous discoveries like this; I suspect the animals in the park will too.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, let me say that I heard some AMAZING music this weekend. More of it came from Dennis Ferrer than his understudies, but the kids still impressed the hell out of me with their skills. Funny how things work... I never would have made it to Nikki Beach to hear Dennis if it wasn't for Spain's dramatic victory over Italy in the Eurocup Quarter-Finals. But I was so ecstatic from their victory that I decided to go celebrate... and I'm SO HAPPY I did!</p>
<p>Now shifting focus to this weekend's highlight... <a href="http://www.myspace.com/justmymy">My My </a>(<a href="http://www.ongaku.de/news.php">playhouse</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/cocoonrecordings">cocoon</a>. berlin) will be performing live at Laundry Bar this Saturday night, June 28th. These guys are absolutely not to be missed! <a href="http://www.littlewhiteearbuds.com/little-white-earbuds-interviews-mymy/">Little White Earbuds </a>recently wrote about My My and said:<br />
<em>"My My approach house and techno with artisians’ flair, crafting aural mosaics from hundreds of little sounds glued atop engaging melodies. You can listen closely and admire all the details slipped into every crevice or step back into the crowd to enjoy their work from the dance floor... And now they’re ready to shift their sound in new, more floor-oriented directions."</em></p>
<p>Here's a small taste of what to expect...<br />
<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Rth5Gf7WI7o'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Rth5Gf7WI7o&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>It gives me great pleasure to be part of the reason these guys will be playing their first ever show in Miami! The other 2 parts to the equation are <a href="http://www.theevanhood.com">Theevanhood </a>and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/laundrybar">Laundry Bar</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dopo la quarta autovettura che guidava ad andatura ridotta a cavallo delle due corsie della belluno-mestre con a bordo numerosi over 60 ho cominciato a dimostrare perplessità.</p>
<p>I dubbi sono aumentati quando, recatomi all'autogrill per assumere la caffeina necessari a proseguire il viaggio ho trovato la sezione geriatrica del Fatebenefratelli che faceva ressa al bancone.</p>
<p>Non riesco a spiegarmelo.</p>
<p>Forse c'è un casting del seguito di <a href="http://it.movies.yahoo.com/c/cocoon44-lenergia-delluniverso/index-127193.html">Cocoon</a>. Sarebbe la soluzione più plausibile.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Argy</span>, ou <span style="color:#3366ff;">Argyris Theofilis</span> de son vrai nom, est né en Grèce. Encore jeune aujourd'hui (23 ans), il débute réellement dans la production en 2005 sous des labels tels que<span style="color:#3366ff;"> Love Dose</span>, <span style="color:#3366ff;">Poker Flat</span>, <span style="color:#3366ff;">Raum Musik</span>, <span style="color:#3366ff;">Cocoon</span>, <span style="color:#3366ff;">Deeply Rooted House</span> ou <span style="color:#3366ff;">Cargo Edition</span>.<br />
Dès 2007, l'actualité du jeune homme devient incroyablement chargée. C'est l'année de sortie de l'un de ses succès : <em>Unreliable Virgin'</em> sur le label de <span style="color:#3366ff;">Mr. Väth</span>, Cocoon Recordings.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Après 2007, l'année club, 2008 est l'année studio. <em>Concentrez-vous sur Argy</em>, ce n'est pas un ordre mais bel et bien le nom de son premier album <span style="color:#3366ff;">"Focus On : Argy"</span>, qu'il a sorti il y a quelques jours.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">En collaboration avec <span style="color:#3366ff;">Solomun</span>,<span style="color:#3366ff;"> DJ Gregory</span>, <span style="color:#3366ff;">Jerome Sydenham </span>et <span style="color:#3366ff;">The Mole</span>, l'oeuvre de très bonne qualité est un subtil mélange entre la techno et la house.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">"Focus On : Argy" est composé de 13 tracks qu'Argy a composé ou simplement remixé et qui pour la plupart étaient déjà sortis en maxis précédemment. Pour voir le côté noir de la chose, on peut dire que l'album est une simple compilation des meilleurs compositions de son auteur, mais il mérite vraiment que l'on s'y intéresse, alors foncez !</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:6.7pt;"><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it had and it could go no further.</span></span></strong></p>
<div><strong></strong></div>

<div><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. </span></span></strong></span></strong></div>

<div><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. </span></span></strong></span></strong></div>
<div><strong></strong></div>

<div><strong></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. </span></span></strong></span></strong></div>

<p>Wie wärs mit ein bißchen Graffiti für die Seele?<br />
Heute gehts um eine schicke Wand, die ein paar Freunde von mir gemalt haben. Es ist gleichzeitig der Beginn der Graffitisektion in diesem Blog. Da kommt also noch öfter was in naher Zukunft.</p>
<p><!--more-->Ich hab ja selbst eine Affinität (*hüstel*) zu diesem Thema, von daher ist es naheliegend, das ich hier auch mal ein paar Geschichten vom Stapel lasse. Vergiss also nicht deinen RSS Feeder anzuschalten, alta.<br />
Ich werde definitiv ein paar exklusive Dinger raushauen.<br />
Fange wir an mit der ANGELS of DEATH Wand.</p>
<p>Diese Perle ist gestern in Bad Vilbel, in der Nähe Frankfurts entstanden. Liegt genau an der Line (für alle Nicht-Sprüher: An der Zugstrecke), also schön die Augen aufmachen, falls ihr mal vorbeifahrt. (Edit 11/7: Die Wand ist längst übermalt, also lasst ruhig die Augen zu). Für alle, die nicht in der Nähe wohnen oder sowieso nie Zugfahren, bittesehr, hier ein paar Fotos.</p>
<p>Auf der Wand steht:</p>
