Exactly one year ago today I was sent into exile. After going through hell for most of the year, the last few months have been a period of relative calm for me. It began when I asked myself this question: How do I get back to the mindset I had before I met Katherine? Trying to ignore the last 11 years of my life is no simple task, let me assure you. I finally realized that over time, little by little, Katherine was trying to change me. Whether that it was a conscious effort on her part or that she thought I would come around to her way of thinking eventually, in the end, it never worked. We were never compatible; a complete mistake from the start. I don't really blame her. She is who she is and my fear of loneliness allowed me to put up with it, but eventually it broke me and I lost myself. So during this past year I started to catalog all the negative feelings that have built up within me, I analyzed each one, determined the root of the problem, and... I stopped caring about them. It was as simple as that. I know who I am again, and I'm ok with it, but letting go was just the start...Archonoclasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14510572073128691921noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18454509.post-60055789884628991152008-07-17T03:19:00.002-04:002008-07-17T03:25:09.873-04:00Keep Going"The meaning of life is simple, you live it.

I'm a 4 with three equal wings of 2, 6, & 7. I guess it's normal to have wings that are numerically adjacent, but none of mine are. It figures. I'm abnormal (but we all knew that anyway). I actually tested badly with 1's, 3's & 5's. That's pretty funny because I'd view my ex-wife as a 1 with wings of 3 & 5. That's a definite hit too as we never could see eye to eye on anything. Here's some nifty <a href="http://www.lightshifter.com/pieinfo.htm">piecharts </a>of my results:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPUmWA_t37CyBMXL5sJm_1cmeqqJa-YLxFfFcJKBGp-RyHl1DogUbEgy2fIw9cpRCIGYtjfx9ij1Hc8kQrXfWcjxcYy3evkSWMX_1MlozYeqYp4eyWk58KlegCInwJWy616Ojq/s1600-h/phPie.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPUmWA_t37CyBMXL5sJm_1cmeqqJa-YLxFfFcJKBGp-RyHl1DogUbEgy2fIw9cpRCIGYtjfx9ij1Hc8kQrXfWcjxcYy3evkSWMX_1MlozYeqYp4eyWk58KlegCInwJWy616Ojq/s320/phPie.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178239486769839186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3YlKO4y-VWwO3_AYo2br5E-3orWIobeX9i0aLjgo8KwYycn98rXgpISC9oJzdzg3Q0vwE-LaKogxJTBCgKj_bEXP3rVF6ecSqBa7v7vEhh0-4oojNKoC53Qw_7vE7BXi1-qIh/s1600-h/hvPie.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3YlKO4y-VWwO3_AYo2br5E-3orWIobeX9i0aLjgo8KwYycn98rXgpISC9oJzdzg3Q0vwE-LaKogxJTBCgKj_bEXP3rVF6ecSqBa7v7vEhh0-4oojNKoC53Qw_7vE7BXi1-qIh/s320/hvPie.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178239486769839202" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs4r3vg7V1E9RLhS_IP6BYR-Rv6MXoagmsOO9Phc1srTEfLR9i3BWNUYxUyvNggNsE0CgrkN_vdseB-0ka9mfQ5Q5_uBrxjSeZc6G74VpsUSd889hpO1JETSvW0HODZbb3BTi8/s1600-h/emPie.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs4r3vg7V1E9RLhS_IP6BYR-Rv6MXoagmsOO9Phc1srTEfLR9i3BWNUYxUyvNggNsE0CgrkN_vdseB-0ka9mfQ5Q5_uBrxjSeZc6G74VpsUSd889hpO1JETSvW0HODZbb3BTi8/s320/emPie.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178239491064806514" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJFyS_WGxKj25LDoVmjpbKzSfk6RCMKou424hYdpQki019O13DEFkpytYiPyY3-YuSGt_ExkquiGC6wkCzBt_Umayl6GRaH-SFqtat0LVfOJG7SPNosHBZDajwotFvObrpu0Jj/s1600-h/pmPie.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJFyS_WGxKj25LDoVmjpbKzSfk6RCMKou424hYdpQki019O13DEFkpytYiPyY3-YuSGt_ExkquiGC6wkCzBt_Umayl6GRaH-SFqtat0LVfOJG7SPNosHBZDajwotFvObrpu0Jj/s320/pmPie.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178239491064806530" border="0" /></a>Archonoclasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14510572073128691921noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18454509.post-12208500295194256712008-01-28T12:45:00.000-05:002008-01-28T12:58:37.798-05:00Pre-School PhilosopherMy 5 year old daughter had a question yesterday. In a serious tone she asked, "Daddy, if everyone in world stopped believing in the world, would the world still exist?" Taken by surprise of the deepness of the question, I thought about it and replied, "I like your way of thinking, what do you think?" She simply stated, "I think the world wouldn't exist anymore." With a proud smile on my face I responded, "I think you're right."Archonoclasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14510572073128691921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18454509.post-9536945909749965692007-12-18T02:52:00.000-05:002007-12-18T02:55:42.981-05:00Simple TeachingsIf you wish others to know about your good deeds,<br /> they are not truly good deeds.<br /> If you fear others will find out about your bad deeds,<br /> those are truly bad deeds.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Master Hsuan Hua</span></span></span>Archonoclasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14510572073128691921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18454509.post-76522789802067853982007-10-30T04:30:00.000-04:002007-10-30T04:43:32.774-04:00Self-Inflicted"Knowledge is a double edged sword, and I've impaled myself with it."<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><em style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:85%;">Thus Spoke Archonoclast</span></em></span>Archonoclasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14510572073128691921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18454509.post-1144727605982780492006-04-10T23:53:00.000-04:002007-10-30T04:44:34.895-04:00Memories...<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">“In the grand scheme of things, it’s not so much what you’ve done that’s important, but rather in who it is that remembers you doing it.”</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" ></span><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><em style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 85%;">Thus Spoke Archonoclast</span></em></span>Archonoclasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14510572073128691921noreply@blogger.com1
