There is nothing to say. I have been back in the states now for a couple months and I have found very little compelling enough to write about. Life is easy in northern California; smooth and bland like the plain, unseasoned tofu that passes for food here. I am weary of the coffee shop dialogues, mine and everyone else’s. The incessant need to take our internal emotional temperatures exhausts me. I want to be out there, living and breathing. I don’t want to sit over chai tea and analyze my or anyone else’s relationships. I don’t want to categorize god, extol the merits of tantric sex, or try to figure out what chakra is blocked. I want to fold into you like a tectonic plate diving into the molten place of another, seeking heat. Jesus, don’t talk to me. Just stop talking. Slam into me if you like, let’s see what falls out in the rubble. But stop talking because nothing we’re saying really matters. Let’s get raw, let’s get crazy, let’s run full out down a jagged street screaming, but let’s stop thinking that what we are saying means anything.
I'm a heat-seeking missle in the middle of an arctic wasteland hoping someone shows up on my doorstep with popcorn, a movie, and a revelation.

dear Alyson. Last Thursday my grandfather passed away after beeing hospitalized for 6 months. During that period of time , blogging invaded my life and one day I found your very itneresting blog.
In my blog http://alloukiallou.blogspot.com I shared my feelings about this loss.
In my blog I feature other blogs and posts I find interesting and tell my readers to click.
My newest post is about your blog. I also pasted a picture of you I found from facebook when you were in Namibia. In case you want me not to show it , please tell me so on the comments.
Unfortunately for you , my blog will be 'all Greek to you' , because it is in Greek.
Take care and thank you for uploading your blog. Every post you write helps me alot these days.

Hi Alyson. I was in contact with Jim R and he told me about your blog. I'm so sorry to hear about Joel, I can't imagine what it must be like. I've signed up and will follow your blog. Thus far, I've read only some but look forward to reading more about your travels and experiences. Take care, lady.

Your lifestyle or taste determines what the focal point of your living area is. If you have a fireplace, you can rearrange your furniture around it. Or if you have a piano, and this is the focal point of your living area, your furniture could be set around it. When rearranging your furniture, also consider traffic in your Living Room Decoration area. It is always good to arrange furniture in off-square angles. This makes the room warmer and more casual. http://living-room-decoration.blogspot.com
