I am now "post-modern"! A little like Family Guy, but less offensive (or more, if you heard my "Cataracts are nature's sunglasses" comment).

You see, I'm no longer an unfunny jackass who puts in random comments everywhere, I am a conceptual humourist, pushing the boundaries of what can be called "funny". I am a humour ARTISTE!

Wow, two in one day. Just had another discovery. I'm BORED. Really, really, really, really bored with my life. Things are going well, bu there's little change. Time to bust that cycle. Gonna take a class, learn something new. Foot massage, or karate or dancing or swimming or SOMETHING.

I'm going through a period of self-exploration right now. Those of you who actually read this blog and have talked to me recently might know that I'm working at a job pushing furniture around. The money's pretty good, but I really dislike the job. I'm frustrated because I feel stuck for some reason.

I've just realized I took the easy route out. Instead of seeking the harder path of purpose and courage, I chose the easy one of trading time for money.

Another thing I'm realizing is that I have a belief that money = personal sacrifice. I have trouble taking money for something I feel comes easily to me (computers nad a/v equip and just technical stuff) even though society values those a lot higher than labour. This belief is partially what got me into this job and I dislike that. I want to let go of this belief and replace it with something more constructive, although I dunno what that is yet. I had been thinking I might replace it with the idea that its what value society places on my output, but I'm starting to rethink that. There may be the question of intrinsic worth or something that might come up. Dunno yet. I trust it will all work out for the best.

I've also been reading 4-Hour Workweek. I really enjoy this book. More info (and a half hour lecture recording) here. Still need to find the courage and to change my beliefs to allow myslef to do this.

There's a few ideas I've been thinking about lately.

• Being more playful. Life's pretty short, compared to, say, the lifetime of a star. And its just not worth it being all tightwad about it. Relax. Play with stuff that you're pretty sure will fail. Play with stuff that might get you ridiculed or you're scared to do because of fears of rejection or failure. It's all just a game.
• Push in to the spin. Push into the confusion. When you feel like things are changing so fast, you're starting to lose your footing, speed up the change even more! Be uncertain. Chopra talks about this in the link below from 7 Spiritual Laws of Success.
  
• Let go and trust. Sometimes ideas that seem obvious arrive at a time when they have a deeper, more special meaning. Sometimes ideas need to be presented in certain ways that it really rings a bell in you. The idea of letting go and trusting resonates with me as something I am going to get better at. I'm even trusting that I'll get better at letting go and trusting. It's a nice loop. :D

Yar! Life is good folks. Oh so very good. :D

I just found out something about myself that is fresh personal development territory. Unfortunately, it'll probably involve delving into old memories which weren't all too pleasant when I was a vulnerable young lad of about 11 or so and relating to them in a different way. Fun times.

Yar.
