I missed all of January.  I know.  Moving and getting settled has been insane.  I'm still not really settled like I want to be.  I still need to find a second job, but I'm doing much better.  It's gorgeous out here.  The scenic mountain views as you drive into the city and the snow and the cold.  The oh so very cold.  Last week it got down to around -18 degrees. NEGATIVE! and my heat went out at one point, and the hot water.  It was awful.

But I got a puppy.  Peak gave her to me.  She is a little Yorkie and her name is Rose den Stygge Ulven II. It's Norwegian! :) means: Rose the Bad Wolf II lol.  I'm going to get her a collar that's TARDIS blue with yellow stitching.

Recently, my best friend asked me what I tend to contemplate the most. When I am just sitting and toking and letting my mind wander.  At first I had no idea what to say and then promptly forgot all about it.  Well just now I was laying here and thinking and I remembered that he had asked me that question. I tend to think about people.  Not just in general or about really any personal relationships.  Those things are not important things to contemplate when one is contemplating.  But about great societal tendencies and the way that our created world inhibits and perpetuates and enables us to act and learn and change and grow. I also tend to think about if there is or isn't any greater connection between us.  Or just the connections themselves unfolding before me in a full visible spectrum of light and color.  I think that's a good way to envision it.  Everyone has a particular shade, tint, tone, color that is all their own.  Not every color is visible to our human eye, but we also don't see everyone's story.  Just the stories closest to ours.  And some people live invisible lives on purpose, like spies or criminals or someone really paranoid. I like to think about the downfalls of our humanity, as well.  There's something motivating about realizing you still haven't accomplished what you want.  As a humanity, as a whole, we are not a very good one.  What will people look back on this time and say?  The beauty about it is that we can always make this moment better.  I hope and know that one day we will have peace, but for now I'm glad to be in the struggle.  I'm sure we always will be in the struggle.  That's what really separates us from the rest of the animals.  We strive to attain.  We are unsatisfied creatures.  We need to be chasing after something, working towards something.  It can be work or sports or a hobby or religion or exploration or love, anything, but the heart always wants.  These are the types of things that I tend to contemplate.  There are other things as well, but these are the main ones.

My posts are probably going to be shorter these days.  As I grow, my blog grows with me.  And I find I want to talk about myself less and talk more about these things that I supposedly so often think about. We shall see, I suppose.

Resoundingly,
Mav

How long has it been since I did a song of the day?  Feels like a very very long time.  I have a good one for you though.  Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra's "Kiss The Sky"  This song has a real funky beat going on.  It's great to just groove too.  So turn it up, take a hit, and chill.  Tell them Maverick sent you ;)
