The night sky.

Tonight's night sky was near perfect. There were traces of soft clouds that were smothered across the sky with a dark twilight backdrop with no visible moon. Not sure where the moon was, but i wasn't looking for it. Instead, there were vivid twinkling stars, one of which was bright orange.

This is the kind of sky that evoke the emotions of the conscious, the dreams of the subconscious, and mysteries of the spirit. There is a momentary timelessness that only comes in small bursts, then quickly fades away. And so it is then, when i'm staring at the starry night sky for no good reason, that I feel mortal and that time is running out.

Ellen, exercise, and the looming vacation.

Good Lord! Ellen Degeneres has THE best show on TV!
Not only is she seemingly smart, but she's whitty, clever, funny, and definitely entertaining to watch. She's always smiling, she the spiffiest dresser, and she can dance like a mad-woman cool-cat like no tomorrow.

Seriously though, she's an awesome dresser and an awesome dancer. Seriously, her personality kinda rubs off on you, and next thing you know, you're smiling and happy to be alive.

I'm lacking exercise. I should start kendo again. I've been slacking.

Vacation to South America (ie. Boliva Crossing is the name of the adventure package)... it is just around the corner. So... uh... I guess i better exercise so i can get in shape, just in case I need to dance somewhere in Argentina, like Buenos Aires. At the very least though, I'll dance in the middle of nowhere, when im 1 1/2 days jeep-ride into Uyuni, the great, world's largest, salt plain desert.
