\"Halloween
At 7:00am., as sunlight beamed through the window, I rose from my bed. And then, I began to smile.<\/p>\n

Why?
– Because whether through accidents, illness, poison, freaky pneumonias, old age, or just bad luck \u2013 eventually, we will all cease to exist. Every living thing will pass on & new beans will sprout. Yet today (fortunately), I entered my 45th<\/sup> year of existence on this earth (yes, another birthday<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"Savasana\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And being partial to Tibetan Buddhism, I contemplate my death daily. By doing so, I am more apt to see roses where there are roses & thorns where there are thorns. I focus on the community & family. I walk away from the trivia & gossip. I do what is important. I pay attention to my actions, thoughts, and words. I remember that my existence is limited. And most importantly, I walk with humor & remember to have fun.<\/p>\n

Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” – In San Francisco’s Dolores Park, I witnessed an attempt to document (for the Guinness Book of World records) the largest amount of individuals simultaneously dancing to the choreography from the Michael Jackson’s \u201cThriller Video\u201d<\/a> . “How hot is that?<\/p>\n

Rumor has it, they will be back next year. Therefore, I have one year to bust a move and join the troupe (don’t laugh – I’m gonna do this before I die – ynot?).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wishing the best of all possible worlds,
