a few zen / taoist ideas i've been coming back to again and again... trying to use them as mantras.

-- in being noncompetitive you have in all the world no competitor.

-- not looking at the desirable keeps the mind quiet.

-- i am exactly as i should be at this very moment.

-- i create my own world.

-- true leaders are hardly known to their followers.

ratzez!

went into ye olde recording studio, scraped away cobwebs from star-trek tricorder shaped microphone, and strung blue strands of audio cable hither and fro, only to dismay at an unexpected distortion in the line. i think i haven't recorded with aforementioned mic in so long that the battery has gone lifeless. so it's juicing from the preamp on phantom power at this moment. of course, it could just be a bad cord. or maybe i missed something overloading?

so upon giving up on recording for tonight, i find it's too late to begin a cigar. :{
and live journal is molasses again. maybe i shouldn't have voted for them in the webby awards, since the press on their win seems to have garnered them so many new viewers that their servers are psuber boggied down.
so i settle for tear garden and some gin in a jelly jar.
