A lighter note, A Propos for Such an Opus

Well, it turns out that today, 21 September 2008, is the International Day of Peace.

It is a day to celebrate Peace, Love, and world wide care.

I invite any readers to join in a prayer for peace.

May all those who live in peace
Continue to receive God's blessings
May those who are at war
See it come to a swift end
May those who are suffering
Experience a respite from their pain
And may those who are blessed
Continue to bless those around them

May the Lord accept our prayer for Peace, and bring peace and joy to the world through us and through his ministries on earth.

A Neverending Story, Streams of Uncensored Thought

I am simply and quite potently tired of being trapped in this world of indecision.

I make decisions and pursue goals and do all that I can do, but while it may not be obvious to all, my heart is seldom in what I do these days.  It is held in reserve, waiting constantly for what it is already attached to.  How can I disassociate my heart's longing?  I have tried and tried, but to no avail.  Time, they say, will cure all wounds, but I see time causing nothing but a festering rot, an infection that threatens to reach to the very core of my being, unless it is cured.

What is the cure?  To study the root of the wound?  To open the wound up for the public to see?  To apply all new salves, herbs, and creams, hoping that one of them might take away the deepening tendrils of dark rot?  To walk the dusty road of each day until it has become a path solid enough for an elephant to tread, hoping that somewhere, somehow, God will provide release?

I pray for an answer, I pray that my messages be delivered, I pray that this wound can heal.

Perhaps in order for it to heal it must be bled again.

To throw myself into the flames is what I often wish
Allowing their cleansing fire to burn
Burning through the past, the present and the future
Leaving this world and its indecision
To float as ash upon the wind

I am fortunate, and life has been kind.  Things are going well, and all is as it should be.

As I am cleansed and purified in the light of each new day, the darkness comes nearer and nearer to the surface.

A Speedy Venture

So this is just a quick post in between classes to say "Hey, sorry I haven't updated this in soooo long, but school has been whipping my tail recently (in a good way, though, and I apologize for the misplaced metaphor).  Anyway, there is not really a whole lot to talk about at this very moment, so I will take my leave for now.  Enjoy your day!

Namaste.

Coastally Centered, Sleepy Time

Well, I'm about to go to sleeeep, and I just thought I'd give a quick post.

I am on the coast, hanging out, doing things, especially cleaning up after our lovely animals. We're up to four now, which is relatively both a small and a large number of pets.

I'm using Banshee audio player, which I can't recommend if you're not on Linux, but I can recommend Amarok, which is totally awesome. I'm not sure if the Windows/Mac version is as great as the Linux one, but it's worth a shot anyway.

Of course, I also recommend Linux, so who am I to talk?

Goodnight everyone, I hope you've all had a great day. Let's do something before I have to go back to college, okay?

The Best Day Ever!

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all having excellent days, although based upon the laws of balance it seems less likely than usual. Today I went to an audition for teaching yoga and was accepted! I will be an instructor next fall at the USM Payne Center.

Thanks so much for all of your support as I worked my way toward this goal. And if you're ever in the area, feel free to drop in and take a course.

Love and Blessings,
Matthew

An Odd Question

For some reason on this job application they ask for "Hometown newspaper" which is of course The Sun Herald, but why?

Fourth attempt at posting class schedule

Here's (hopefully) my schedule for the fall semester:

Select	Class	Description	Days/Times	Location	Instructor	Units	Status

	AOS 201L-H001 (1469)	Air Force Lead Lab (Laboratory)	Th 3:50PM - 6:35PM	GHB 113	J. Giron	1.00
	BSC 111-H001 (2000)	Prin Of Biol Sci II (Lecture)	TuTh 9:30AM - 10:45AM	TEC 106	D. Beckett	3.00
	BSC 111L-H003 (2004)	Prin Bio Sci II Lab (Laboratory)	Mo 3:30PM - 6:15PM	WSB 109	A. Lee	1.00
	CHE 106-H001 (2315)	Gen Chemistry I (Lecture)	MoWeFr 10:00AM - 10:50AM	WSB 137	D. Booth	3.00
	CHE 106L-H004 (2320)	Gen Chem I Lab (Laboratory)	Tu 2:25PM - 5:05PM	WSB 245	T. Masterson	1.00

	REL 131-H002 (1903)	Comparative Rel (Lecture)	MoWeFr 11:00AM - 11:50AM	LAB 102	Staff	3.00

I know about half of this won't show up, but the important stuff is on the left side of the chart anyway.

19 hours, should be fun. Two of the courses are Air Force courses, and I am really glad I didn't have to drop chemistry or math. I would have had to, but the school added a new class time to trigonometry at the last minute.
