Welcome To My Life

Welcome to my Life – where anything is possible and nothing is as it seems. I’m the Rev. Matt, coming at you from within the depths of Geistopia. Welcome to my life is a project, an experiment in Life and ART. A living storyboard, if you will. It’s premise is that life is experiential and that you can and do experience the life you choose. It is based on the use of The Wheel of Life and the ARTS for the New Millennium as life building tools. Welcome to my Life is an I TV Studios/Geist…House Production. JustUs Production , the parent company, would like to give a “Shout-Out” to the following for their ongoing, and oft times unknowing, inspiration and support: Princess Cuddlebug Princess Sunshine Craze & Co.

  July 28, 2011; 2113 It seems it was another day of processing. I mean, that’s not all I did but there was certainly a lot of it. Of course, most of that came from watching the video. There is almost 13 hours of video. 13 hours that I must cut down to 3 47 minute episodes. Oy-vay! The video is good though. There’s lots of fun and interesting things on it. It’s been interesting reviewing the trip this way. I like seeing how it all happened and came together. I like seeing how it unfolded – how, when and where. I can tell already that there was a lot more to this trip than I have realized. I can still feel the energies. I swear it’s worse than jet lag. I am anxious to really lay it all out and see just what happened. I am about half way through the video footage. I’m anxious to put it together. I think this all happens sort of in reverse. Not the trip itself, but the review of it all. I think I am going to lay it all out and go from there. So, we will review first – see just wha...

  July 28, 2011; 1013 It is day 2 since I returned home and I feel like I am just now getting back into the groove. Yesterday was very much a blur. It seemed to come and go so quickly. I still have things to unpack and put away. I still have lots of notes to go through. I have to get ready for tomorrow. I need to get ready for the girls to come. It’s all very weird because I have no clue about anything. Before I left one of my jobs was up in the air and, though they wanted to talk before I left, they did not contact me. So, I’m not sure if I even have any work next week. I have a few dollars left to my name. A paycheck comes tomorrow, but it is a very small one. There is chance of making money tomorrow night. There’s actually chance to make a good bit of money tomorrow night. Only time will tell. I have been listening/watching the videos from the trip and I have been coming across some very interesting things. It will be fun to see how it all turns out. There is no doubt tha...

  July 27, 2011; 2011 Music for the Moment: WDST 100.1 FM Woodstock (discovered along the way) Well…I left. I survived. I returned. Right from the start it was a successful journey. I can honestly say it was nothing like I had envisioned in my mind. Case in point – I left here Sunday at Noon and arrived in Mystic, CT on Tuesday at 3:30 PM. There was quite a bit of sidetracking involved. One in particular. A big one. Bigger than I can realize at the moment. (Well…at least I realize that .) It still boggles my mind. It was nowhere near where I wanted to go, and yet…it was exactly the place I needed to be. {And I’m still not 100% clear on why.} (Many reasons.) {Obviously.} I’m fascinated by the trip as a whole. I’m still trying to process it all. Put everything into perspective. This will take me a while. I have note to rifle through and video to watch before I can really put it all together. I know it was a success though. I can tell. I can feel it. I feel different. ...

July 24, 2011; 0042 Well, time to depart is encroaching nearer and nearer. I am both excited and a little nervous. It is going to be quite the journey. A few odds and ends to settle up…then some sleep…the washing the van and loading it.

  July 20, 2011 I am sitting and waiting to go meet the girls and take them to Dorney Park today. I think everyone is pretty excited. We haven’t been able to get back there since vacation. This will be our second time this year. And, now, the passes are paid for. We have gotten the money’s worth out of them. Every visit after today is a bonus. It’s a shame we got the passes so late in the year really. We’ll go again in August while we’re on vacation. And perhaps some Sat/Sun in Sept and Oct. I was bad yesterday. I was very bad. I ditched some work that was due yesterday. I shouldn’t have and I tried not to, but when push came to shove I just couldn’t leave. I don’t know what was going on or why, but I just couldn’t get out the door and eventually I just gave up trying. I spent a good part of the day on the couch. In fact, I passed out for a few hours. In between (and after) I got a video project finished and ready for delivery. I got almost completely caught up on my financials...

  July 17, 2011 Hey Gang! Welcome to my life – where anything is possible and nothing is as it seems. I’m the Rev. Matt and I’ll be your host. Coming at you from within the depths of Geistopia. It is Sunday, July 17, 2011. Time… ‘calming.’ (or is it ‘demanding’?)   UPDATE:   Mission: Kennebunkport has become Operation: Mystic . It’s interesting how things happen, the little twists and turns God will throw at us in his desire to divert and distract us back on track. So, as I had written previously, there was a new bump in the road in Mission: Kennebunkport . I had just come to terms with the transportation debacle when Siggy told me there was now a complication with the church and the insurance. He was going to look into it all and get back to me with the resolution. In between, the fight happened. It was the morning after (The fight) and, if you recall, I had been informed that the police had been called, the papers were being in filed and in 30 days the police wi...

  cont’d from the previous post: ‘Order Out of Chaos’ July 13, 2011 (Time…’demanding’.) Music of the moment is once again Boston College Radio WZBC 90.3 {They’re always good for a trip.} Ok, continuing on this little quest of introspection and possible self deception. (Actually, I wanted to put “self-discovery",” but deception just sounded so fun.) {But who knows the discovery may be self deception….or, perhaps the deception is in the discovery…} So the fight continues on…. I still don’t completely understand how it got started in the first place. I understand the second, and worst, part came later when I jumped him about the bringing up the money thing. That much I get. For that much I will take responsibility. And, though approaching him on it is something I could never apologize for, I do find remorse in how I did it. I can not excuse it..but I can at least explain it. I was livid. I was livid because he threw the money thing out there the way he had – not only by do...

  July 12, 2011 How interesting. It’s a 5 day. Order out of chaos. This is the core philosophy among all creation myths, or stories. In the orient there is a story about some dragon or another. For the Norse it happened when all fires and ices erupted simultaneously and violently. The Big Bang Theory. BAM! …and then everything finds it’s place. Even in Hinduism where Brahman is said to have dreamed reality into existence. Dreams are very chaotic, in as much as they free-formed and uncontrolled. There is no thought or logic behind them. There is no rationalization behind dreams. Dreams are the playgrounds of our minds. They are the release and the reception. They are the escape and the foundation. Dreams are very chaotic. Even in JudeoChristianIslamism, where God, or Allah, created the “Heavens and the Earth.” The act of creation itself is mere chaos in action. Things are whirling and twirling and shaping and shifting and twisting and turning and starting and stopping and it ...
