Yoga, as it's said, helps with relaxation. If you know how to do it. And that should be a disclaimer. Something like "May cause spastic bursts of laughter. Perform with Caution." That would be nice.

I'm trying this beginner's Yoga (BEGINNER'S) and I can't do a pose without laughing. So I grabbed my Kindle, thinking I'd actually be able to read while doing the Downward Dog (the position or course) and kill two bird with one stone, doubling up on my relaxation. Which is the opposite of relaxation... multitasking.

Yeah. I ended up letting the DVD play while I read on the floor. If anything, the music was relaxing and flowed nicely with Siddartha.

I think all books should have a theme song. And I think all movies should be based on the book by... and then the media world would join together, holding hands and dancing through grassy fields and singing together but someone has to play guitar because it's not gonna work without one.

Just my piece on Literature.

Literature is like jewelry.

Some follow trends and from what I see clear is in. Big and piecey and sure to show its out-datedness by summer. You might even throw your clear jewelry away in the summer and say aloud "Why did I buy this shit in the first place? It looks like plastic. Oh! It IS plastic. Should I recycle it then?"

Literature is like Diamonds. You never throw them away and you never forget the day you got them.
My soul vacation no-no was getting upset over the vampire trend of books. (sighs and inventories the personal diamonds on my bookshelf like Kerouac, Bellow and Wolfe)

I don't mean to brown nose (not that it matters, because I'm on a soul vacation, and I have time to debate whether anything exists).

I love Amazon and used CreateSpace for Tuesday Tells it Slant. For The Nine Lives of Clemenza and Retail Ready (AKA God vs The Bank), I used Lulu. The differences?

$$$.
Buy a premium membership with Amazon for less than forty bucks and buy copies of your own work for half as much as you'd pay with Lulu.

Time.
When a copy of Tuesday sells, I see it almost immediately with CreateSpace. At Lulu, it takes a month.

Community.
Amazon has so many communities, it's re-dick. Lulu has somehow managed to destroy their old forums so that they can only hear themselves "speak."

An Ear.
I emailed Jeff Bezos and got a reply. I email Lulu with "support" issues and get Nada.

Recognition.
Nearly everyone knows that you can buy books on Amazon. When I say Lulu you say WHAT? (Lulu, WHAT?, Lulu, WHAT?, and now I'm an MC).

The problem.
I think I'll lose my reviews when I switch from Lulu to CreateSpace with Clemenza and Retail Ready. But I think it's worth it. Know of a way to avoid that? Email me!

That's the thing with sleep. It comes and goes as it pleases and doesn't give a damn about the time or tomorrow or today for that matter. And I shouldn't care. Because I'm on a soul vacation and my soul is telling me that my eyelids are boring inside. I can fill it with poetry and prose and music and movies and thoughts but still... it never seems to tire anymore. Blinking must be enough for now.
