early morning bitch out

i was checking my email and got a link to watch the space shuttle make its way. lovely. i'm jealous.

i must say thank God for places like Churchill's (pref. on Monday nights) when you sit back and take a hard look at the night life here in Miami. i guess all i can say... it's wholesome. always a pleasure.
so now every monday there's this college band who plays before the old jazz daddies we know and love, and WOW did they blow me away. each guy up there did a phenomenal job, and im pleased to find out they'll be there often.

i have a court appointment in some hours, so i had to get up early with mom. bright and early: no problem! i'm guessing this genetically engineered dick-cop won't show up. if he does, i'll bring it.

im running out of words

Abandoning malicious speech, he abstains from malicious speech; he does not repeat elsewhere what he has heard here in order to divide (those people) from these, nor does he repeat to these people what he has heard elsewhere in order to divide (these people) from those; thus he is one who reunites those who are divided, a promoter of friendships, who enjoys concord, rejoices in concord, delights in concord, a speaker of words that promote concord.

-Majjhima Nikaya

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies within us while we live.
