(self diagnosed)
I cannot concentrate for too long. So if my blogpost slips and fails, you know that it's my braincells that turned the lights off temporarily. You see my lifelist is only at 9 or 10 and I am totally stuck. I'm the type who has to pluck out thoughts from the ethers, or those unbelievable brainwaves as and when they swish for a nanosecond back into thoughtview. I can't for the life of me organize, plan, write down, and keep it at that. I'd like to see how long this blog lasts.

Books I am very curious about reading
Strange thing how synchronicity works. Sometimes data gets a browbeat by being mentioned more than once, like they're drilled in front of you and you gotta notice it no matter what. There are some books that are just that, and I feel like a metaphorical carrot has been dangled in front of me. Yet as we all know, reading takes a huge amount of time and concentration, and where the hell do I find that time? Saturn has already passed my mercury. Trust, that conjunct period was when I read books like a hungry wolf. I just ate and ate and ate.
Ok, now I'll mention some of those books I've been meaning to read. First, Cloud Atlas. It's been drilled in front of me 3 times by key people. Why the F234k do I need to read that? Just something urgent tells me it's a book I need to have on my "read list".
Then, Animal farm, 1984, the works.
And... Women who run with wolves? Ugh.. yeah, it's been reserved since forever.
(break and cont'd)
This might sound silly and foolish, but I have never read a book by Jung nor Freud. And there I go spouting theories people classify as "Jungian psychology". I have never read Jung, why? Because buying his books never crossed my mind nor stayed there long enough to act on it. I only borrow from the library. So, I did manage to grab hold of Freud's "Interpretation of Dreams", but I only managed to read one or two casestudies while eating fishporridge at the musky stall.
And to think Jung is more popular than Freud because there aren't any of them left whenever I visit the library. And I rely so much on synchronicity I don't bother to reserve them.
So, I never read them. I never read Adler either, nor any of those other books I pretend I was going to read.
So, enough of psychology. I read plenty others, though. One, it's the last lecture, by Randy Pausch. But that deserves another blog post, entitled (books I have read).
Oka,y, there's another book I really want, and that is Liz Greene's "Saturn - A new look at an old devil". There's something about keeping the best for last, because that's the best in my opinion and I've not read a page, except on google excerpts. And Border's fire sale gave me a new astrology book for only 5 bugs.
Ok, nothing else for now.

Life List
So while I was waiting for my head to be massaged, plumed, marinated in ginger and white-washed with rough hands, I picked up a crumpled magazine and flipped to this page that inspired this blogpost.
John Goddard's Lifelist. I felt at the ripe old age of near thirty, I needed one. Goddard had 127, a significant number, considering it's also the number of 127 hours, the man who adventured till he was trapped.
1. Get a PhD
2. Get to at least grade 3 in Piano
3. Scuba Dive
4. Make my own jewellery line
5. Teach a university course
6. Invest in gold
7. Master Fengshui
8. Master SPSS
9. Write an original, useful book
10. (5/10) Access as much metaphysics as possible in this life
11. Read Biographies of as many greatest people of our times
12. Music appreciation (Classical)
