within touching distance and yet so very, very far away!

I've been extremely lucky in my life in some extremely important matters and at other times life has just been so sticky and yucky that I almost believe in a greater power with an extremely sick sense of humour. Like right now I am so close to financial stability/moksha! And yet.... it eludes me, temporarily I hope.

I don't want to get in to any sort of trouble, so I'm not going to go through the sordid details - some of which I shouldn't officially know. Suffice it to say, that my ascension is being impeded by a person wholly unqualified to do so!

Yet, fortunately, I have a perverse enough sense of humour to appreciate the hilarity of my situation! I'd love to give into the dogma of the paranoid and hypothesize that the forces of the universe are colluding against me - but I'm not in grad. school for nothing. I know that shit happens and that a survivor trudges through the sludge of life and a successful person manages to find something positive in his journey through the sludge.

I am utilizing my down time to straighten my apartment and do fun things that I always wanted to do. I watched two movies in the theatre this weekend; when admission is just $5.50 you have to take advantage!! Watched a delightful movie called Once. I think its message is slowly percolating through my system.

I think the lesson to take away this week is - shit happens - try and enjoy what you can.

Au Revoir Harry!

I finished the seventh book this morning. Think I read 700+ pages in 12 hours straight? Pity that I cannot get through my journal papers as quickly. Eh... what to do?
