So, after a few days of nothing written here it now seems that I have a lot<\/p>\n

to say. I can’t really manage to squish it all into this entry, so it looks like<\/p>\n

you’ll be getting it in stages.<\/p>\n

It’s been a fairly weird couple of days, obviously as you know some of my<\/p>\n

views have been altering… not really changing as much as coming into focus and<\/p>\n

broadening out. As I transition from one self image to another it seems like I<\/p>\n

am finding new interests. This is really freaking me out – because some of them<\/p>\n

are things that it seemed to make perfect sense accepting that I would probably<\/p>\n

never do.<\/p>\n

\n

For gods sake people, some of them make me feel like I am seriously<\/p>\n

losing my ‘outsider’ status \ud83d\ude42<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It all started a while back I think when I had to make a business<\/p>\n

presentation to a venture capital group and I wound up<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

buying a suit<\/a>. That might have marked the crack in the wall of "do what you<\/p>\n

have to do dammit and stop complaining". Clearly, lately there has a been a huge<\/p>\n

upsurge in my thinking along these lines.<\/p>\n

\n

What I didn’t expect was the urge to know how to dance.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You heard me. Dance. Tatsumi was at a wedding over the weekend and she called<\/p>\n

me from the reception. I had this bizarre desire to be there with her, dancing.<\/p>\n

In my defense it wasn’t an overwhelming desire to partake in the "chicken dance"<\/p>\n

or listen to a bad DJ call out the names of random relatives. No, this was more<\/p>\n

about dancing in general. <\/p>\n

\n

Perspective change: I didn’t have to worry about how bad I would look<\/p>\n

dancing… because I had the ability to learn to be good at it.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Get it? The geek in my heart was sure I would look silly – because the geek<\/p>\n

can’t dance. But Soulhuntre<\/b><\/i> can dance… or at least learn how to<\/p>\n

do so. Now I had always intended to learn for a number of reasons… but it was<\/p>\n

something slated for "after"… after<\/p>\n

The Estate<\/a><\/p>\n

was secure, after the company was running, after I was worth a few million. It<\/p>\n

is clear to me now that a lot of what I had slated for "after" those things<\/p>\n

happened is exactly the type of thing that can help make it happen.<\/p>\n

In other words, I don’t need to wait till <\/b>after<\/i> I build the big<\/p>\n

laser to be a cool bond villain \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Ah well, one more thing to understand, sometimes the best thing to do with<\/p>\n

this sort of thing is do what you can do while your working on the rest.<\/p>\n

Granted, I don’t have the time right now for ballroom dancing classes…b ut<\/p>\n

that isn’t the point. The point is that I realized that I want to. That some of<\/p>\n

the things I thought would happen "after" as a natural consequence are things I<\/p>\n

want now – and that I don’t have to hold them hostage.<\/p>\n

Tyr can dance if he wants to \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

P.S. Here is a my horoscope for today…<\/p>\n

\n

"LIBRA (Sep 23\u2013Oct 22): For you Librans, it s not about what you are doing<\/p>\n

today; rather it s now about long term planning. What do you need to do in<\/p>\n

order to make your dreams real? What parts of your own being need to change as<\/p>\n

part of your drive toward success? Think these big ideas through today and set<\/p>\n

yourself onto a path with a new direction."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
