this is where I work now. it's good, I get to focus, sales, marketing, flash demo design, training. more on that later...it may not seem that exciting, just to look at this space, but for me it represents a huge jump in the possibilities for work and life for me. Huge amazing possibilities. I like the software I am selling, the company I represent: they are really cool! And our partners. It's all good and a good challenge to help me learn and grow as a salesguy, account manager, and as a person. Landmark has made a huge difference for me to be here now. And many of the other areas I have worked on.

I am tired now, my eyes esp. ready for climbing trip, this weekend, owens river gorge. looking forward to sleep.

shootings, massacres, and history

Today's shooting in Virginia.

A history of Native American Massacres.

Tulsa, 1921

I am posting these links because someone is calling the shooting today "the deadliest in US history" or "modern history". I guess that might be true if you thought US history started a few years ago. I immediately thought of Native Americans slaughtered by Europeans on somewhat larger "shooting rampages". I guess this just points to how violent this country is and has been and how clueless people are about that sometimes. Today's events are horrible and senseless of course as are all these incidents of mass killings. There is a tendency in this country in the media and otherwise to try to see current violence as a new phenomenon, when in fact it is part of a long and obvious trail of blood.

landmark somersaults

Did my 2nd night of assisting as Production Supervisor for the Landmark Forum in Action Seminar tonight in SF. It went very well. Patty, the Seminar Leader and Center Director, was amazing. It is helpful for me to assist and to be there, in the seminar, which is part of what makes assisting great. And the coaching I get around assisting from Patty and Eris is great too. I think most people, if not anyone, can benefit from the Landmark Forum, and should attend an introduction at least to check it out. It has made a huge difference in my life, in particular the level of honesty or authenticity in my relationships and in my life in general, with myself. It's great.

After the seminar I went to the Make Out Room to hear and see Foxtail Somersault, Cat's new band. Great voices, guitars, sounds, drums. Great overall sound. Reminded me of My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth. This picture is from the Stork Club.
