Hi there! I think we all came from the same place but for those of you who arent familiar with me my name is Mskied, and I came by way of invite from the official SP message board (the one on their website).
I tend to have a lot to say about an awful lot of things, so I thought that I would just make one thread in which to communicate my life, my thoughts, my ideas etc rather than clutter up the board with different subjects. Id love it if you commented on what I talk about but if you just want to read that is fine too! I welcome critical observation and encouragement, but I would like to ask that if you feel like posting in this thread to try and have something to share that is relevant to what is currently being discussed. Ive noticed that threads have a tendency to get jumped or convoluted with things not applicable to the topic at hand. I greatly encourage your reactions, observations, and stories that I might inspire you to tell
To start out with Id like to mention that Toad the Wet Sprocket may be coming to your town, I know for certain they are coming here in November- I am not sure if its a one of or a tour, but if they are coming to you I recommend attending, even if you thought you were just a casual fan. I have been blessed with seeing them once (for free even!) and they were so good youd have thought they were lip synching. I knew I was a big fan, but when I saw them I found myself singing every lyric. Who knows when this opportunity will arise again, so treat yourself to a great show!
Today I wrote out a set of rules for myself. Looking at them now I already broke the first rule hahah. Well its a new system so that is to be expected I guess. See, I know this man who has been an intravenous meth addict for the last 7 years. He is a sex addict also. We only hung out twice, but in that short time I got to know him pretty well, and we have since been texting regularly. My first rule is to honor another person's journey and allow them to be who they need to be. However, today I found myself challenging him to make some changes or I didnt want to be his friend. A lot of that challenge came from my frustration with him and my desire to fill my life with positive influences. I also want him to live a good and healthy life. Now that I have written this I just sent him a text saying so.
Anyway, I found myself setting forth rules for behavior. Along with this I have been writing down some of the things I think are possible. One of those things is that I believe I am capable of entering different states of awareness. This may all be in my head, but I believe I can access a certain state where I "hear" stray thoughts from people giving me a glimpse into their thought process and spiritual development. I acknowledge this might be my imagination and if it is, I am still appreciative of it, because it gives me a source from which to create conversations and to think on new ideas. If its real, then it gives me the chance to know who I am surrounded by. I guess it is a very small yet powerful psychic power that I have. The thing of it is, that it is in the beginning stages and since it is all pretty much impossible to verify, I have been making mistakes handling and reacting to it. I suppose I could develop a net with which to snare someone into revealing what I secretly imagine to be true- Ill have to think on that one.
On a final note I was at a thrift store today- I go there to buy music on the cheap. When I am there I usually look for books for my friend (I stopped reading a number of years ago). As I approached the religion and spirituality section I immediately noticed one that appeared to be the kind he would enjoy, but as I reached for it I realized it was meant for me to read. I just love moments like that!
