I Told You So ...

And didn't have your smartphone or tablet out, didn't have the t.v., radio or some form of computer on? Just spent uninterrupted time with your own thoughts -- excluding work?

I'm too protective of my credit rating and more than a little OCD about managing the household finances, so no.

It just seems people are incapable of being inside their own heads anymore. If they're walking in the woods they have their earbuds in or they're making calls. If they're not actively using their hands the smart phones are out. Most people can't even have a conversation (or drive) without 50% of their attention being on texts or they're looking at something on the internet.

I don't understand how people can think anymore. If I'm reading and the t.v. is on I have to either read or pay attention to the t.v., I simply can't do both. If I listen to the t.v. my eyes see the words but I don't absorb the information, the reverse if I read and try to half listen to the t.v., doesn't work.

I did some of this last week driving through the mountains where's there no cell reception or radio stations.
 
Yesterday when I was doing guided meditations (which I do often).....but I can rarely lift anymore without Metallica in my buds
 
That's one of the songs, but I am SO IN LOVE with this song.....Metallica are in town tonight too! James Hetfield is delish!!


Listen loud


 
Metallica fucking blows

only when im super high. Other than that im not patient enough to just sit around and think about random shit.
 
I "unplug" almost daily. I generally run for about an hour each day on the trails up here. It gives me the opportunity to prioritize, reflect, plan. I work in "hi-tech" and I see the need for us to "step away" from time to time.

i'll translate for your fucking retarded ass...some of us don't have to be super high to get lost in thought...this concludes your elementary read-between-the-lines lesson for today...i wouldn't want you to have to think any harder than you already are.

Does taking a walk count?

As long as you aren't plugged into something, absolutely! My absolute favorite thing is a nice peaceful walk somewhere peaceful ... my least favorite is enjoying my nice walk and listening to the schmuck around me (there's always one, somewhere, in this fucking state I live in) conversing on their cell phone. Gee, thanks asshat, cause I actually drove 30 minutes to get to these woods JUST because I can't fucking stand the sound of the breeze in the leaves and birds singing.

Patience, like any other mental skill, can be cultivated. You shouldn't need to be stoned to be comfortable with being peaceful.

Try going out to the woods or the beach, someplace natural, leave the weed and tech shit at home and just hang out and try just observing.

See, there's more than one way of looking at imparting knowledge. There's the old saw about not being able to fill a cup that's already full and then there's my personal philosophy, which is that when the student is ready the teacher appears.

I used to take that literally, I don't anymore. I think it can also mean that you may be told something very valuable but at the time you're given this information you're not ready for it, you don't get it. Then one day, when you are ready, you'll remember that useful piece of shit, totally out of the blue and it'll be like, oh, yeah, now I get it.

Case in point, raising kids. Ideally we tell our kids tons of useful things from day one, from the mundane like "brush twice a day", to the profound like "Communication and respect are the foundations for a lasting relationship" or "Save 10%. Debt is not pretty."

Kids blow off 90% of this shit as they get older, particularly through the teenaged years, or they yes their parents to death to keep the peace and think "you are so full of shit" but you still have planted seeds, seeds of thought you might say, and like any seed they can lay dormant for a long time, years even, but once given the right conditions you have germination.
 
It's funny how that works, too. I've had many moments recently where I've found myself thinking "now I get it".

Being quiet is really challenging for me. I'm trying to do more meditation but it's a skill I have to learn. We get so used to going a million miles and hour and it's hard to shut my brain off. When I succeed, it's great!

You know, I can see that and I've heard it from other people who are into motorcycles, same actually goes for plain old bicycling.

I make sure to blast my pipes when blowing past those people on the road, almost made some poor bastard wreck one time and it was beautiful. Fuckers think they own the roads in my city. If youre going 25 on a 45mph road just get the fuck on the sidewalk

Loud pipes on any vehicle happens to be a major pet peeve of mine, particularly the ones that think it's cute to sit at the intersection I live on at 5:47 a.m. every weekday morning, gunning their engines just to set off the car alarms. You can see why that would be like nails on a chalkboard? However, hubby and I will be moving so I only have to keep my windows closed 24/7 for a few more years.

I agree with you up to a point about bicyclists, rather, a lack of bike lanes in our country. Everyone bitches about traffic and gas prices and foreign oil reliance but nobody wants to pay for anything to improve the situation. Improve public transit and make alternative means of transportation easier to use. If Portland, OR can manage to do it, so can everyone else.

"Loud pipes save lives"
When youre on two wheels you need everyone to see you and be aware
 
Great post...it's been awhile since I spent more than a few minutes in silent thought. I've been quite stressed lately and in a bit of a down mood...maybe I should force myself to just sit and stare out at the river for a few hours in peace and quiet...see if that helps.

You'll probably say TL;DR but I had too much coffee this morning and my fingers got away from me ...

The only thing that saves your life on a motorcycle is riding it the way boating right of ways are: Smaller ones defer to and stay out of the way of bigger ones. And even that doesn't always help.

Accidents happen all the time. Motorcycles are probably, in the overall scheme of things, involved in proportionately less. The problem isn't that drivers aren't aware of motorcycles, the problem is that a motorcyclist is a fragile human body balanced on two wheels getting squished by over a ton of metal and plastic rolling at whatever speed.

Since I live on an intersection I've been able to observe more than my fair share of accidents without being personally involved in them (seriously, I've seen more than five accidents over the years, and it's not like I hang out in front of my house all that much, I'm talking shit like I literally glance out the window and happen to watch some guy just smash into the phone pole across the street to avoid someone who had the right of way). The last one I saw was two years ago. The N/S road had the red. A man traveling north who was driving to the cemetery to visit the grave of his wife (who had passed less than a month ago) blew the red and T-boned a car headed west, that car did a 90 and T-boned my husband's work van, which was parked in front of our house on the E/W road, pointed east.

The accident occurred in the blink of an eye. I know this because I had to get the chain of events from the cop since I had LITERALLY been blinking my eyes when it happened. I never saw the impact, yet was facing that direction at the time. My point? Had a vehicle been passing in the eastbound lane next to my husband's van, it would have taken the impact instead and been driven into the side of the van. If that someone had been a motorcycle (not impossible, it was June or July), it would not have been survivable. As it was, no one was even slightly injured, despite the fact two out of the three vehicles involved had to be towed from the scene (my husband's van had been hit hard enough to jump up onto the curb, the side was crushed in but the driver's door still opened) and one of the people involved was a senior citizen.

I shit you knot!

It was two years ago, I was sitting on the front steps with a smoke and a drink, it was a Sunday afternoon and I could hear my husband through the open window, putting something (a burrito, it turns out) in the microwave. That's how clear my memory of this was.

BANG and I caught a glimpse of a car's ass end swinging around, hear the tires squealing, it's headed for the van then another BANG, the van shudders. Never saw the initial impact so I had to have been blinking because my view of the intersection was totally unobstructed from the steps.

my brain works like that too...it's just loaded with videotapes (if you will) of events and a lot of them are very vivid...to the point where i can be "watching" one and see something that i didn't notice when i was watching it in real life...a lot of them have other stuff intact too besides just the visual stuff (smells, sounds, etc.) but those elements aren't as vivid as the visual stuff.
