At A Glance

I had surgery a bit ago, and can finally say that i am recovering well, the problem was not the pain of anything, what occurred was I came down with Anemia. So my skin and eyes turned yellow. So I had to fight that for some time. The only thing that sticks in cause of the scars on the arm and chest I am not able to go to the beach for some time, well I am to avoid the sun. I feel a bit cheated at this cause I had started to really understand surfing and how to do it, I got a second hand surfboard and everything. The only good thing about the surgery is it gives one time without the burden of pressure to be productive, I can sit here and just read, and write, and draw, think.

I did some good thinking, one of the things I kept coming came back to is loss, and how much lost a person goes through to get to the place where they are now. I have lost plenty, friends, loved ones, ideas, and countless others things that I have yet to realize I have lost. I know that I still have yet to loose, but I think that is fine cause to me how you deal with the loose is the measure of what kind of person you are. Of all the things I lost, I miss my mind the most. I think about the one that got away and how I lost her. I looked for perfection and in your eyes I found better, but I could not hold on to it.

I share the books that I feel need to read by everyone, and had a chance to do so while stuck in bed, some where rereads, others first time here the list.
