How does your mind relate to your body?

I consider it more as a body-mind than two separate things.

What would you put in your own personal time capsule?

Space dust, a rusty nail, five aglets, and a hand-written note that simply says, "Welcome to the future :)"

Friday Five of Superstition

Posted on Mar 13th, 2009 by ~Matthew : Youthful Maturity ~Matthew
It's the second "Friday the Thirteenth" in a row, today.  This can ONLY happen when first Friday the thirteenth of the year falls in February on a non-leap year.  I wonder how rare it is.  In any event, here is my Friday Five:

1) Do you have a lucky charm? (socks, coins, small rubber chickens?)
I don't believe in lucky charms.  But someone close to me got me a pink crystal that's supposed to help attract my True Love to me.  I mentioned then that I don't believe in such things.  Still, every now and then I'll hold the crystal in my hand and indulge the magical vMeme that is inside of me... inside of all of us.

2) Have you ever found a four-leaf clover?
(and what happened?)
I don't think so.  I might have found a mutated three-leaf clover once, though, that looked kind of like a four leaf clover.

3) Do you throw coins into fountains for wishes?
Yes, sometimes.  Although, I give more meaning to it as being an act of non-attachment.

4) Do you have any quirky or unique superstitions?

No.  Sorry for such a boring answer.  But I don't.  I suppose I could make one up though.  How about this?  Drinking green beer on St. Patrick's Day cures what ales ya.  (Get it?  "ales" ya, instead of "ails" ya.  It's beer.  Ale.  Get it?)

5) Have you ever seen a shooting star?
(did you make a wish?)
Yes, I love shooting stars.  In the summer time.

Friday Five of Food

Posted on Mar 20th, 2009 by ~Matthew : Youthful Maturity ~Matthew
1) What did you have for breakfast?
Scrambled egg whites with tofu, onions, green peppers, carrots, and tomato.  Two pieces of Spelt toast with Earth Balance.  And a banana.   Plus a giant glass of water.

2) Have you grown your own food?
Yes, last year I had a garden and we grew all sorts of veggies.

3) What is your favorite beverage?
Water!!!

4) Do you like to cook?
Yes, but I don't like coming up with what to cook.

5) What is your favorite vegetable(s)?
Hmmmm... it depends on how it is prepared.  Ethiopian food is delicious, and I just love the way they make their beats at Ras Kassa's.
