Dark side of the moon
Posted by: tiffany83 on: November 14, 2007
There’s still a dark side of me. Well, right now I have an urge to go out and party. Although, I know I instantly will feel awful the next day. I wonder if it would do me some good to go out and get crazy with irresponsible kids my age – perhaps it would remind myself of how much I appreciate my mature friends that are responsible and don’t abuse their body.
I dunno, somedays, I feel like my life is getting swallowed and I’m not living to the fullest. I’m not saying in any way that getting drunk all the time like I used to is living it up, but sometimes, sitting at home every night, going to bed early, to get up early surely doesn’t seem like I’m living it up either.
On a totally random side note, I’ve already thought about gifts I have to start getting friends/family for Christmas. Years ago, I used to feel so overwhelmed at this time, I would worry myself over getting gifts for everyone, even people that I barely knew. This year, I’m finding my list to be a lot smaller, but I’m spending more time thinking over how to make it special. Plus, I actually have money this year.
Speaking of gifts, what do you get your teacher? I don’t really want to do the whole yoga thing because I’m pretty sure he already has every possible gift. Maybe a nice bottle of wine, I suppose that’s pretty standard. Ohhh, how about a nice bottle of vodka???
Eh? Okay, maybe not.

I loooove the holidays…well, as much of a holiday as you can have when it’s 75 degrees outside. What did you get Greg?
That is the universal question — “Am I really living?” Partying is fun but do you really get any more out of it than from going to bed so you can get up the next and go to your job? It’s tough.
There’s a person at our shala that recently returned from 16 months travelling throughout S. America. Some people go to India or to Africa or wherever. It’s all about filling oneself up with diverse experiences. You don’t really have to escape in order to do that though.
Funny, Rachel asked yesterday if we should be thinking about a group gift for Greg and Costanza, I said I didn’t know, I didn’t think we did that at the Sutra. Although I did organize the flowers for Hanne because she was just so ridiculously nice. And not that it wouldn’t be a festive and fun gesture.
I used to have a lot of trouble with the concept of moderation (i.e., I’d have bong hits for breakfast and eat tons of french fries or be a responsible vegan) but I am getting better at it. Most of the time. I probably drink too much wine, I eat red meat, and I don’t get enough sleep because I’m out and about. Hmm, maybe I’m not qualified to comment on the dark side?
Hmmm…of course you’re qualified.
I have a hard time with the concept of moderation too. I have an incredibly addictive personality and I have a tendency to be black/white, all/nothing…
LOL Bong hits for breakfast huh? I never got the munchies after those. I looooove wine though.

Gee we don’t really do that here!!! Well I gave Greg a b-day gift the one year I went to his b-day lunch.
I don’t really acknowledge the holidays much at ALL I guess.
