A second and FINAL failure to post in a timely fashion which doesn't even count cause I got soemthing up last night after I posted about not getting anything up...

I really haven't decided on the rules of this whole thing yet, so I am trying to decide whether I need to get something up before midnight to count as having posted today or merely before going to sleep. For the time being I am posting this in case midnight turns out to be the deadline which seems arbitrary given the fictional nature of our conception of time... Although the non-arbitrary line would need to be linked to either sun up or sun down, and sun down perhaps would make the most sense so in that case I would have already missed it, thought there is much to be said for sun up as the distinction which leaves me almost 7 hours... Ultimately the reason for my failure today might be slightly more acceptable than were my reasons yesterday, not that what I was doing was any more valuable but it was not on my couch which should count for something right. Ok I went to a double feature and I guess if I write about the movies that falls within the guidelines of this nebulous project as it stands at the moment and I cannot write about movies without seeing movies... But I am not going to do that today but perhaps tomorrow when I have nothing on the schedule but reading and posting and drinking coffee. I'm going to try to go back and add to something already here, as well as cover those movies and get some reading done which I have been neglecting in favor of using that time to write, not that I have been writing well but I am trying to get my flow and style back... So with 10 minutes left until the arbitrary cut-off of midnight I solemnly pledge to cover at least one movie reviewish type thing, a response to at least one of the two things I am currently reading, and to work on something already here tomorrow. Oh also I was thinking on the subway tonight about instituting a further program of actions apart from the blog, to include returning to Zen meditation, and active conscious exercise, which as I write it sounds ridiculous, I hesitate to use any words which might imply self-improvement as one of my core mottos is "Self-Improvement is Masturbation" and I recognize the ridiculousness of any motto, but my point being that one should be outwardly oriented toward the world and not become overly inward motivated only concerning one's "self" with the fiction of the "self"which in reality is merely the convergence of biology, physiology, and experience with no essential truth other than that which it brings into being through interaction with the external world. Ok see these rambling meaningless posts serve a purpose as I am going to take that sentence out and expand on it in my attempt to define my ideas surrounding the concept of self. Again however I will be doing that tomorrow...
