a revised and detailed list of your goals, and an assessment of how you think your skills and strengths will allow you to achieve them, and what else you need, before you can do so.

hmmm. well i've got a toe in the water over a farming cooperative with Steve O. I think this might be a nice idea, since it would mean self-sustainability, a job, and free-time with which to home-school children. i could teach part time somewhere as well (heck, woodhouse did it). i could fit writing and researching in there as well, without feeling like i was pressured to make that my livelihood. plus, y'know, if shit ever hit the fan, i'd be set. this would be a good goal for me since i'm detail oriented, an independent worker, and i can do manual labor and enjoy it.

ryam has been talking about pursuing acting with more focus. which means it might not be as important to him to continue on past his undergraduate work. i dont really see this goal interfering with my own ambitions (vis. farmsteading) but i do see it interfering with doctoral work (vis. moving). personally, i dont expect to see him making mega-money on this, very few actors do, and as such my mind's eye sees the cooperative idea as a good place from which to draw income and shelter.

what would i need for the cooperative idea? well, unless you have the overhead, you cant just all-at-once make the jump from on the grid rental house 9-5 - you have to do it in stages. first there would be the forming of a limited partnership between myself and about 30 other people willing to buy land in a location (have to chose a location). the money from the land being on-hand more or less, then i'd have to come up with money for building both housing and farming structures (building on a green scale, with a eye towards living off grid entirely). and from there, the first awkward foray into a crop, sell the crop, make cash, fold the cash back into the venture... and so on. farms fail all the time, the idea is to yield enough to live on really, and sell the surplus as extra. but at least the first 5-10 years or so would be really hard without income from some other venture - between the start-up costs, overheads, losses, and taxes there's a lot to account for there.

Bad timing. Can't deal with life right now. I'll get back to you later.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Sure.

[n3m3sis42.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but Red Bull and vodka are currently preventing me from doing this. If I fail to remember later, and you feel like reminding me, please do. :D

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Will Do.

a lot of water ran way form the time I cement it my first time
my goals are much concert and well defined
there is philosophical problem with time direction in physics. physicist
argued by means of a thought experiment involving measurements of spin observables that the quantum mechanical quantity is conceptually equivalent to thermodynamic entropy.i want to show that arguments are fails and quantum physics likewise classical doesn't solve memory problem. why do we remember our past and not the future? what is the meaning of this asymmetry and why theories (like GRW for instance)that explain nicely this asymmetry was rejected for sake classical QM. cannot really see how can I be useful for you, though would love to

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I could find a use, I'm sure.

Processing...
I still haven't asked you my question, either.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

I need a revised and detailed list of your goals, and an assesment of how you think your skills and strengths will allow you to achieve them, and what else you need, before you can do so.

Z) Physical fitness.
-Currently on-route to achieving. Just a few seconds away from my "parking-to-bed" goal. No additional need there, just continuing my current route.
-Need to stop automatic and stress eating.

Y) Lift the veil.
-I haven't the slightest, other than my current work; prayers, tapping, angels, visualization. I'm either not getting feedback or not paying attention, so I'm not sure what's most likely to work.
... hm. That gives me a very strong impression in regards my "walking blind" metaphor a few minutes ago. I'm going to have to start playing "Marco Polo", both for this and...

X) Speak the Truth.
-So far, so good. There's a vague interest in mass media, but I don't have a specific message yet, so there's no need at the moment.

W) Find a partner.
-I really need to shake out what that means to me. Otherwise I'll be standing at the counter all day. And it might be that the flavor I really want isn't even at this store. Again, "Marco Polo" to try to get close to my idea. Other divining methods might help, if you know any who are good at such a thing, or catalysts for pushing my own realization.
-When that happens, or possibly to make that happen, I need a complete transformation to successfully be "person-with-partner". Otherwise, I'm not sure the relationship will survive.

V) Refine another game.
-All I need for this one is people to play it, an as-of-yet undetermined time to fix any problems, and a boot in the rear (thank you, amazingmrparker).
-Writers write, game designers design games; I really just need to keep designing games. The only outside help I need on this one is people willing to play such. And support.

U) Become fabulously wealthy and humble.
-Doable. Several pieces in place working at this one. All very slow-working. The easiest way, of course, would be for people with money to give it to me, but that's neither sustainable nor acceptable.

T) Heal.
-Not sure how much chiropractic is helping. Want some kind of diagnostic. Might start sleeping on the floor. Wearing arm braces (putting them on right now... d'oh!) while working. Continued tapping and the aforementioned Marco Polo.

S) Improve dancing.
-Still going to classes. No outside help needed unless people are interested in dance, in which case I'd love to talk to them.

R) Gentleness.
-Hard to do. With the exception of metaphorically sending a dragon in the direction of the Senate for threatening our constitutional rights, I would like people to push me whenever I seem 'snippy', let alone harsh.

Q) Donate blood.
-Still going. Or at least going in for such; turned away a few times.

P) Tidy home.
-Really, momentai is going to be the best vector for this one. But if anyone would be willing to just stop by and act as moral support and occasional suggester, that'd pretty much peg it. Of course, ideally I could be my own moral support.

O) Debt-free.
-Again with the money. But beyond that, less frivolous spending. No clue about how people can help.

N) Improve decision.
-... I have no idea how. Back to Marco Polo, perhaps, until I get better at hearing them walking around.

Please email me what I said before. My vacation started 3 hours ago, so right now I am pleased to say I have no goals that are not directly related to rum, palm trees, and bikinis. But I can have something for you next week.

[lilsayermonster.livejournal.com]

Email em back to me please.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Will do.
