Karma
It's wednesday. My article for the week is done and well, the writing side of my job is finished for a couple of days. No more creativity. Relief.
But it's going to be one of those horrendously shitty days today, I just know it. You get a sense for these things.
My best friend lives in Mexico and spent a good part of his professional Buddhist life teaching me about Karma. I'm not talking 'My Name is Earl' Karma, I mean the real stuff. I'm not a full-on convert but there's a little of it floating around, I've seen it too much, and I think I'm in the downswing part of it all. Bad things.
But anyway. It's nothing Marilyn Manson can't shift. Sometimes the only thing that helps is Marilyn and his pseudo forces of hell rattling around the flat. That should do it until the police arrive.

On Karma...all I know is that a lot of good things happen to me, and for me. I feel surrounded my angels, if that doesn't sound to hokey. Is it a coincidence that I try to help others? Or would people call that Karma?
I don't know. But I've recently met someone who is unlucky and is in my life. And I tell him all the time that he should try doing things for other people outside of the people he knows. Volunteering, or something. Just to see if the energy around him would change.
I think it's a worthy experiment. Maybe I'm blessed by nature. Maybe I help others, by nature. I don't know. But I think it's good character as a human to help others, regardless of trying to purposefully reverse your karma.
Anyway, I'm rambling. I hope your day gets better.
Thanks Jen
I like your way of looking at life. Lesson for us all.
I'm not unlucky, I'm actually very lucky in most ways, so I'll quit complaining.
Anyway, my day got better.
