Tech, geek and all things neat.

So I’ve fallen off the wagon, a little bit. I try to do yoga everyday, stay positive and relaxed, but lately I’ve been nothing of the sort. The stress of everyday life is just getting to me. With my unemployed status that seems to be lasting a decade. Everything in my life seems to be slowly getting sucked into that same negative vibe. Like how a child gets sucked into daytime television, I’ve been sucked into depression. I also think that I’m starting to pull all my friends and family into it as well. I find that even they who are still employed and happy are starting to get the down feeling more frequently. I don’t know if its me that’s causing my friends and families depression but if it is that’s just more of an incentive for me to bust out of this funk.
So I’ve started to reread “the way of the peaceful warrior” which is just one of those books that really make you think and want to be better. Unlike allot of books on Buddhism which I find myself trying to just suck the knowledge out of instead of enjoying the book. The Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a book that I can relax on a Sunday afternoon and just absorb into. There’s a reason why it has lasted for so long and is still being published to this day.
Besides that, I smile for as long and as often as I can. Believe it or not but smiling makes you want to smile. It also makes other people want to smile which in return make you smile more! A beautiful scenario it is.
I stared to pay a little more attention to my diet. Eating junk food makes me sluggish and lazy. Being lazy makes me have more negative thoughts, and negative thoughts cause depression and more laziness.
So I believe, that with my few alterations in my diet and mental attitude I will become my healthy, joyous, energertic self one gain. Also with a little bit of help and positive thinking everything that I mean to achieve with be accomplished. Just can’t give up.

So I was going to write about the flying spaghetti monster, but I am afraid that is going to have to wait till tomorrow. I have much more important information to tell.
As allot of people think that they are searching for enlightenment, really all that they are searching for is happiness. To be happy doing whatever it is that you are doing that that moment would be everybody’s dream come true. Whether it be working or relaxing or making supper would being everything.
Dr.Steel is a podcast, musician, community, webpage and more that is dedicated to fun, happiness and unity and world domination. Dr.Steel is a mad scientist figure that wants to change the world. Eliminate hate, war, famine, with his ever growing fan base of toy soldiers (boys) and scouts and nurses(girls) and robots.
Its a fun exciting concept that definitely needs more promotion. And if it getting large enough I can see it getting more serious and becoming a change that would be.. interesting.. If anything.

I’m a huge fan of Funny fiction. Christopher Moore, Douglas Adams, Douglas Coupland, are just a few authors I read quite steadily. They just make me laugh all the time and I believe that people need to laugh more often. I believe that enlightenment needs laughter. To have a steadily quiet mind you need to have happiness, which derives from laughter.
Christopher Moores Lamb is one of the funniest books I have ever read. With hidden lessons and witty characters you really can’t ask for much more. As you follow the path of Jesus’ childhood you learn a completely new view point to Christianity helping the none believer not be so dismissive on the topic of religion. But instead learn how to see past the base layer and really learn the meaning behind the teachings of certain parable. Not to mention the hilarious antics of his best friend Biff, a child that even his own mother can’t understand.
This is a must read in my books. I don’t remember the last time I got so many odd looks, as I literally laughed out loud while on the bus or in public. Great read but bad for trying to keep a sane profile in public.
