After dealing with a very private issue that was keeping me from enjoying life, I am having problems concentrating on getting back to work. It must be because all the 'romance' is taken out of work. I need to find a balance back to making work into play. Right now, I am stumbling from making overly emotional yet foolish ideas that are never finished and create from emotional ideas but give them rational structure, and to complete them.

I was disappointed today by something that didn't happen. A guy that I've been wanting to see outside of work accepted an invitation to come to StoneMetal Press. Whatever time he showed up, I would introduce him to the setting. Introduce to Kathleen and Anet who run the place and let him ask questions if he'd like. If it was early enough I wanted to have lunch with him. (Splitting the bill of course.) Or if he should up later in the day, we could gone for a drink and maybe some dinner.

Alas, that didn't happen but that's okay. The man in question has more problems than me, anything could have happened.


You know, it wasn't too long ago that this incident would have ruined an entire day. It didn't. So, what? I'll ask in a polite manner what happened the next time I see him. Depending on the exchange, I'll try to set something up with him. Hopefully nothing too bad has happened.

The funny thing is, is that while traveling down to StoneMetal, I think Ahmet tried to call me. I messed up and tried to call him back but my Pocket account does include international calls. I even tried to email him, that didn't work either.

The title of this post is a little on the confusing. Let me explain:
This is comes from a religious Chinese painting that contains Confucius, Buddha, Loazi.

Confucius takes a taste and says that life is sour- he viewed the world as the pollutant

Buddha takes a taste and says that life is bitter- he viewed that the interior needed to be protected by pollutants of the world. The world is not polluted itself.

Loazi takes a taste and says that life is sweet- he viewed that the world should be viewed in its natural state (comedy of life.) To be happy in it in spite of it all.

I did rather well, and as a result, I'm going to be alright.
