OK!!

As you might have noticed, I had about 3 or 4 entries in Hindi. I'm not sure exactly how that occurred, but perhaps there are some Hindus out there that are really interested in Burning Man. You never know.

Today I looked up MRE's (Meals-Ready-To-Eat). I got a lot of experience with them during my time in the Marine Corps. I loved them to be honest. Just surprising that they are so expensive in the civilian world. They gave it to use in the service and yet, out here in the real world. They are $80-$100 bucks for a box of 12!

I have often missed the Marines. I went through a bad divorce at the end and even when given the opportunity to stay, I left. My reason for being there was gone. Odd how life creeps up on you like that. I have to miss it, or I wouldn't dream about being back in so often. Perhaps it was the simplicity of it all. I didn't have to make any decisions. They were all made for me. All I did was funnel the decisions downward. Anyhoo!!! I digress from Burning Man.

The discussion on the table now is what will our theme be? The overall theme is "Metropolis". So I put out the idea of the 1st metropolis, Rome. My friend said, "no, it was in Greece. Athens. Or even Sparta." My Love went even further back. She said, "Babylon". Hard to argue with that. Now to stir the pot and see what floats to the top.

This is going to be what we make of it. I can have to much expectation because I have to much expectation of what we will get out of it, but I will only get out of it what I expect and put into it. I am determined to make this the 1st thing since the Marines that I have seen all the way through. I think I let my failed marriage colour my life in that regard. If I couldn't keep that together, how can I keep anything together? I hope to work through those themes and expose them for what they are on this journey. We'll see. Mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter. Till tomorrow and a more eloquent mind frames, laters!
