I’m a Bum

This post is dedicated to Sylvie

As of yesterday, November 14, 2008,
I am officially a bum.

It dawned on me while I was at a party — my pal Danny turned 50. There was a crowd of… oh… I’d say between 100 and 150 people, anyone who was there last night can correct me if I’m wrong. Beautiful people. I knew roughly 20 percent of them.

At about 10:00 pm, while I was talking to my good buddy Sylvie, I had an “Aha! Moment”: after 15 years of financial challenge, I’m now ready to accept the fact that I’m a bum — it’s time to take the leap of faith.

Since this is fairly new and since I’m too tired to draw, I thought I’d illustrate this post with a photo I took in one of the lanes, here in Verdun Beach. Appropriate, I’d say, since bums often hang around in lanes and I’ve always been fond of them — the lanes, not the bums. Not that there’s anything wrong with bums.

And here’s another appropriate bum shot: garbage.

It feels so liberating to finally merge with my bumness.
Thank goodness I don’t have to change my wardrobe.

P.S.: I also have this thing for brick.

Perceptions

On my way back from Outremont, last night, I was waiting at Lionel-Groulx station for the metro to de l’Église when I noticed the WARHOL LIVE poster.

They’re all over the place.

I thought the lighting was cool so I took a picture.

When I turned around, I saw Debbie Harry’s reflection in
the dépanneur’s door.

And I thought: This is how easy it is to feel trapped.
It’s just a perception.

Law of Attraction / Treasure Map – Update (1.5)

Today, I had a great Ah-Ha moment.

I realized why it took me so long to figure out what I want:
it’s because I didn’t TRULY believe, deep down inside,
that I,

a) can have anything I want;
b) deserve everything I want.

This magnificent realization brought on a sweet breeze of fresh air.
Making it possible for me to finally start having FUN with
the whole manifestation process.

This said…

I haven’t quite finished filling my first circle, yet.
But you can see that there’s significant progress.

All is well, my friends.
All is getting better
and better
and better.
