a rather nice hp story and a very interesting collection of barbies

and just in time, i got the religion test from a link on stellar`s blog,

the envelope please:

your religious beliefs have the most in common with Neo-Paganism

In fact, your test results show that you?re  86% compatible with Neo-Pagan religious beliefs.

How do we know this? Your high compatibility with these religions was assessed objectively based on how you answered questions on the test. Your score indicates that you share more core beliefs with this religion than you do with the other 9 world religions assessed in the test.

Here are some important details about the religion that might reveal why: Though different Neo-Pagan groups have different faiths, in general, they are primarily polytheists – they believe in multiple gods and goddesses. Most groups also have a highly personal relationship with nature and its seasons, observing important rituals throughout the year to express their faith. It appears that you are also interested in the natural world and the significance it has in your life. Recent attempts to reconstruct the ancient pagan faith; nearly wiped out after years of persecution; have unearthed spiritual texts and a highly secretive oral tradition. While the history of their religion is important, most Neo-Pagan practitioners worship in solitude, performing rituals of personal significance to express their own highly individual spirituality. Perhaps you too enjoy being alone when you want to reflect about the world.    

The religion that has the greatest affinity with your belief system is:

Your belief system is 71% compatible with Unitarian Universalist religious beliefs.

But did you know that even though Unitarian Universalists have mixed beliefs about the existence of God, they tend to share the belief that there is something to be learned from every world religion- It appears that you are also open to a wide variety of religious and spiritual ideas. By accepting differences between individual spiritual beliefs, Unitarian Universalists come together under a few broad and inclusive moral ideologies. They pass their beliefs from generation to generation through their church`s literature and their teachings, both of which draw on many of the major spiritual texts from a variety of religions. Typically open-minded and intellectual, Unitarian Universalists encourage individual exploration of many different spiritual truths. They also tend to be politically liberal. It seems that you also see the importance of being open-minded and curious.

just got out of the shower. have a very long and refreshing shower – body shop grapefruit & lime body wash is divine. i also washed my hair, funny thing in the middle of the wash, rinse, repeat cycle i realised i’d washed my hair last weekend. well, i want to get it neatened this week anyway.
the personal grooming has begun, vic is 27 days away, i’ve already begun the dietary changes. well not changes per say, just a more careful monitoring of what ingest. less dairy, red meat, more fruit, particularly citrus and water. if you don’t what i’m talking about check here (i know i posted this already, but not everyone follows the links) and here. it’s a regular ritual, one which we’ve both found quite successful.
i’m sitting around in my boxers, with my wet hair on my back watching hackers (i’m a sucker for this movie, i’m not sure what i like more the faux-geek speak, the classic apple computers or the very butch angelina jolie) as soon as it’s done, i’m heading off to be a mac god for someone with a 15” lamp imac, it may be the ticket to get my copy of potter this afternoon.
ok, i’m starting to dry off in this heat, time to complete the ritual, no shower/bath is complete without body butter. today’s flavour is…

so many choices…

i chose…

MANGO.

i’m out, off to work for my hp. adieu.

I HAVE THE POWER

June 21, 2003 — Leave a comment

well, i went to the office and picked up my power adaptor, so now i don’t have to worry about the machine running out of juice in the middle of doing something. this morning i had to take a trek to st. james to get doubles, it’s been a while – doubles truly the breakfast of champions.

the sun is still blisteringly hot, haven’t had much rain so far for the weekend, i’m waiting to see how this becomes my fault in the monday production meeting. the hp is out and i don’t have a copy yet. there are on sale here, but if i shell out the cash to buy one today, i’m going to be destitute again, so i think i’ll wait til i get paid this week.

last night i continued this great book of short stories called the book of ifs and buts (i can’t remember the author at the moment) but the stories are all about immigrants and immigration and well written and captivating. read til i fell asleep.

anyway i’m hot and sticky in more ways than one, so i’m going to grab a shower and wash my hair, be back later.

got this from jadedgrrl:
33 things i hate about the internet

savant for a day

and that’s about as far as i got when i realised i’d left the power adaptor for my laptop in the office and i have 2 hours of charge left. i’m not going back tonight. so this is it for me for the night. i have at least 4 books in the bedside pile, see how well they do in the distraction factor.

adeiu.

today was productive, even with all the distractions of my body. i’m eternally gratefully that it’s just me here today, i don’t think i could have dealt with an office full of women today, it would have been down right embarrassing.

i feel as if my skin aflame. i need to get some ice cream, it’s the only thing i can think of that will subdue my oral fixation. masturbation is like a release valve, but only for one portion of my sexual tension. the ice cream helps, but it lacks a combination of stimuli to even come close.

i’m trying to distract myself and keep working but all my efforts have been unsuccessful. all i can think about it is the sensory overload, hands in my hair, thighs pressed against my ears, eyes closed, the taste, the smell of the goddess overwhelming me.

i need to go home. i’m going to take a very long shower.

it would be sunny

June 20, 2003 — Leave a comment

i just went outside to get lunch. the was bearing down magnificently on me. what you wonder is wrong with this picture?
remember we cancelled the shoot this morning because the met office told me it was going to rain all weekend. well there is nary a cloud in the sky.

it’s a lovely day out. my thinking is if we’d even thought about shooting today the skies would have opened up and pissed on us. this way i get look for pictures that i like and if the client approves the campaign we can reproduce what’s in the layout.

i also just off the phone with the embassy in barbados, still no developments, at least they were pleasant today. so the wait continues. if anyone knows a way to ignite a fire under the collective asses of the ins please do. i miss my wife. is it really too much to be able to fall asleep and wake up next to her on a daily basis?

what i’m proud of is – it’s barely made a dent in my otherwise good mood. i’m entirely focussed on having vic here for 10 days. she gets to meet the fam and for 9 nights, i get to fall asleep with her skin next to mine. 28 days away. in 4 weeks time, i’ll be counting the hours til she gets here.

TGIF

June 20, 2003 — Leave a comment

not that it makes a difference, it’s a holiday here and i’m going into work. but i feel great anyway. the dreams, the dreams. my god.

that glow on the horizon in the northwest portion of trinidad is me smiling. i feel that good, by the time vic gets here in 28 days we may both need to have some kind of protective shielding.

i’m calling the embassy today, i think my general demeanour and good feeling will help me get through the beuracracy. need to get some kind of news.

speaking of which:

apple teases us with the new G5s

some recently issued patent gems

the new times 55 fiction winners (a complete story in 55 words)

pubic hair-dos (part 1 of 3 by near experts em & lo from nerve)

it’s about that time for me to get going. i’ll be back later.

hormone overdrive

June 19, 2003 — Leave a comment

my hormones are in overdrive, not in a bad way.

my skin is tingly, it’s like i can feel every touch with every fibre of my person. everything seems more sensual. it, of course, doesn’t help that my wife is 4 hours by plane and a further 13 hours drive away. but she’ll be here soon. woo hoo!

i just needed to share that before i crawl in to bed.

have a good night all and i hope you all enjoy some form of intimacy with the person you love.
