Rainy Days

It's been raining a lot these days; quite a sudden change from those weeks of blazing hot weather and high humidity that seemed to have dragged on and on and on. I have always like the rain and welcomed it: I don't really mind if I get caught in a shower and soaked in a rainstorm; as long as I don't have anything on me that will not survive (i.e., mp4 player, cellphone, fancy clothes, etc.).

Oh, and yesterday, for some forgotten reason, I got around tot telling my friends about a netizen I have met years ago and who I remember (despite my notoriously lo-fi memory) quite well. He is actually one of the most..uh...curious people I've met to date. His interests are varied (and some people might have trouble coming to terms with this) and, as I understand it, there might be a lot of people who will find this simply incomprehensible.

Ok, let me quote a few lines from his MySpace account:

"My name now is Tydyn Rain St. Clair, a name I quite like, but that does not hint at the multidimensional complexity of my being, invisible to the objective eye.......
....I live my life by new paradigms in all areas of life. I've always felt different from just about everyone I've ever met, and compounding that I've also always questioned and challenged the assumptions, beliefs, conditioning, patterns, and programming of the society in which I matured (and those globally). In doing so, I've come to hold a radically different perspective on just about everything. In the past, this caused me to alienate myself from everyone around me, which, of course, left me feeling intensely unfulfilled, frustrated, and isolated. Now, however, I revel in my eccentricity and difference, and wear it like a badge of honor."
I've been training in the immensely multifaceted and multidimensional Afro-Brazilian martial art of capoeira (Grupo Axé Capoeira) since April of 2005. It challenges me and pushes me to my limits like nothing else...I want to express excellence in all aspects of capoeira and become an amazing capoeirista.
I want to travel and live worldwide restoring tropical forests, working with my beloved bamboos, and learning languages through cultural assimilation.

I heal, liberate, and empower women, especially in the domains of relationship dynamics, body-freedom, and sexuality, through my role as a Healing Transformational Catalyst. Practices which I have been drawn to combine and utilize for this purpose are polyamory, naturism/nudism, sacred sexuality/tantra/erotic spirituality, ethical sluthood/sacred (or deep) swinging, integral transformative practice/integral life practice, conscious reality creation, global nomadism/citizenship, and capoeira."

My friend Tydyn also calls himself EROS REBORN in honor of his lifelong mission. So, feel welcome to check his Myspace out.


Allright, that's all for now, kids. Hope to read your journals soon.

Revival!

Hola!!

I'm back to blogging over blogger.com once again and reviving one of the old blogs I keep for academic purposes. I can't remember how many blogs I have out here in the "wawawa" (WWW), but I do hope to compile a list soon enough just to go over what I had been preoccupied with back in my more carefree (?) years. Reading my past journal entries (onlie and off) has always brought me much entertainment. Have you ever felt, at any point in your life, that you have evolved into a significantly different (if not better) person over such a short span of time for reasons you have yet to decipher? It happens to me quite often.

So, yes, this blog revival of sorts is for a couple of classes I am handling this term. Namely, my English One class and my English Basic classes. I am still deciding whether to use this for my Litform class...

So far, only Happy has submitted/shared her designated English One blog with me, owning the first spot on the blog list to your right. Check out "Written and Not Spoken"...yeah, yeah \m/. That's the spirit.

Ok, I'll make this short and sweet and I'll write more in the days to come. I do hope to write more often and get back into this blogging thing outside some of the sites I am more active in. And before I go, I'll share a video of this musician that I just admire so much not just for the skill/talent he obviously has but because of ...well, this sort of intrinsic vibe and HEART for jazz/groove/soul/funk and just the kind of music I am totally crazy about.

You guys enjoy, drop me a line, and have a nice day :)
