“ECCENTRIC?”

Olga (an extremely uncomfortably amazingly beautiful woman who works here in some management capacity or other) says to me this morning ‘You are eccentric. That is the right word, yes?”

I laughed. “It’s much better than being called weird”. (much laughter.)

But then I thought I would spin it “You know, for a philosopher it is like advertising. it’s not like you can put a sign on the shop that says ‘shoes’, or wear a card on my head that says philosopher. So if you act eccentric it’s just advertising. People know you’re a philosopher that way. ” (more laughter).

I like making the people here laugh. I like making everyone laugh.

But on a more serious note, and in all honesty, I have found that with increased UNDERSTANDING of the world of man, I am more appreciative of my fellow man, and more joyous in interacting with him….

I hate when i accidentally post a diary entry on someone else’s page ’cause all pages look the same… sigh. (sorry)

(Traveling two years ago, lifting luggage from the baggage area when tired, I pulled a muscle in the palm of my left hand and it was bad enough that I got some scarring from it. I can’t figure out which muscle exactly. And thats possibly because I hurt more than one. And, yes, I know that given I had such strong hands, that it’s from lack of physical exercise using my hands. The problem is that the therapist’s way of fixing his problem is to keep breaking up the scarring, and it’s freaking painful and debilitating during the long process of injury and healing. Got a plantar fascia injury on my both feet while running in the park back around 2001 and I learned that ‘good men’s shoes’ are not so good. Nike Free or Sandals are probably the best shoe you can buy: as little shoe as possible. The most spread, the most circulation, and the most exercise your foot can get the better. now there isn’t any equivalent for the hand except working with your hands or working at the gym. But I’ve noticed that gyms are virus and bacteria hostels and so I’m back to having my own equipment and that requires your own domicile. So I need a domicile. smile emoticon )
