Building and Other Things

I've been busy with a home remodel, a transactional closing for one of my clients, travel to SF, learning and growth. All good and all precluding me from musing more muses on my muddled muses blog. So here goes on some things I've been thinking, yet haven't had time to digitally document.


ok here are my musings....

1) brett dennen's music is brilliant. I think he is one of the most passionate, thoughtful and conscious souls writing music today. listen to his tunes carefully. there are hidden messages to those of us who understand the tension daily between the left and right sides of our brain. If you are not yet conscious of how these two hemispheres effect you, watch this video of a brain scientist who actually studied her own brain when she underwent a stroke (okay I have probably 4 recent thoughts in this first item - mea culpa).


2) i have a number of people experiencing loss around me. I think when you get older it certainly is more frequent, yet I've had my share of much of it in life and have come to realize that in loss there is ALWAYS gain; yet you have to be open to it. so, as I have friends who have sick or dying parents, i understand, i sympathize, yet i quickly move to you'll grow from it. I guess its a kin to having lots of money, losing it, living modestly with out it, and having some wealthy soul come and seek sympathy for the loss of wealth when you've been living blissfully without for all of your adult life. Yes, I have sympathy for the loss and the pain involved in the separation and change, yet I move quickly to "but you will find a deeper self and live more purposefully now." I almost get to a place that is "you're better off." Is this insensitive? I'm not sure... But I think its a little insensitive when people want life long sympathy for a dying or deceased grandparent when I didn't know mine and lost my parents at 23; kinda like the rich complaining to the popper about the loss of a twenty dollar bill... but I digress.



3) I'm constructing a new bathroom and master in my humble abode. The process is fascinating as this is my 3 remodel on my cherished little abode. I'm excited for the new space it creates in my house, thinking that it will also modify my process in the morning; how i shower, how i see myself, what i see in myself. i also think its interesting that the process of change in the space has already changed perspectives; like what clothes i wear because i found them recently or because they look differently in the new lighting. more pictures to come.

4) I've been developing a new idea for a project in fremont. i'm pursuing investors and strategies for it. I even taught myself google sketchup and created a youtube model of it below.
