Hawk at Spontaneous Arising has tagged me for the Magnificient 7's meme.
If I over-analyse, I'll NEVER post this...so here goes nothing:
Seven Things to Do Before I Die
Love - as much as I can
Live - on the Canadian West Coast
Add Canine to my list of animal companions
Go completely vegan
Recrudesce my practice of Ashtanga Yoga (hopefully LONG before I die)
Visit a peaceful Middle East where I could drive myself anywhere I chose to.
Procrastinate less
Seven Things I Cannot Do
Remain silent in the face of injustice or suffering
Keep quiet at some times when I really should
Consider plastic surgery
Enjoy most music on the radio
Abide willful ignorance
Empathise with Conservatives
Patronise for the sake of ambition
Seven Things That Attract Me to Blogging
I always have an opinion
I learn something new every day (through one blog or another)
I met (and continue to meet) interesting people
It's EASY
I prefer the medium to others for self expression
It's more convenient than a soap-box

"Come for your pilly!"
"Did I see that movie already?"
"It's already Monday tomorrow?"
"Yeah, well..."

"I love you."

Those cat pilling pictures made me laugh. Does that make me a bad person?
That cat looks quite reasonably preocuppied with the long fingernails at the end of rather pudgy fingers. He'd laugh if he saw you getting pilled too, so it's fair play.
aaarrg! I knew I'd think of all the things I'd rather have put down after I posted!
nice site, linking it now.
michael (scotland) expendable here - going to have to join in with the sevens at my site..
Hi & and thanks for stopping in, Michael. I'll be looking for your 7's list soon
Good Morrow, Empress of the NUtI (New Utopian Impreium) and Consort:
"Recrudesce my practice of Ashtanga Yoga (hopefully LONG before I die)"
Ah, how wonderful to see "recrudesce" recrudescing all over the place!
I like the sevens game...did it with Punkin, the Once and Future Crown Prince, and thus demonstrated why a 23-year gap in ages doe make a difference. Seems to me it was somewhere in the Cool Observer, too, a while back...not sure.
Sincerest respectful regards,
Mudge
Emperor of the NUtI and Consort
Mudge! Thanks for stopping by. Recrudescing my practice of yoga will help with my seasonally aquired steatopygious back end! (now that one's hard to remember!)
No worries, NUtI Empress, I'm quite sure you're callipygian!
Hello A.
As soon as I discover an appropriately obscure, multi-syllabic term for "thanks," I'll post it here to express my gratitude for listing my book.
Love your answers...
MZ
Mudge - thank gawd that there are online dictionaries so I can enjoy almost instant comprehension! I'd ask for a word of the day but I'm not certain I could keep up.
This one will come in handy if I ever make it to another greek beach!
MZ - my pleasure! And an even greater enjoyment to chat with you and all the Expendables at your board.
I love your list, A -- and am a big Rumi fan myself. Have you read anything by or about Ibn al-Arabi? There's a great book called The Sufi Path of Knowledge; Ibn al-Arabi's Metaphysics of Imagination, by William Chittick, that pretty much set me in a different direction in life.
When I first discovered Rumi, it was as a result of odd synchronicity and in it's own way contributed to a change in my path too. Thanks for this, Michael, I've not heard of al-Arabi before. I'll have to check it out.
Happy 2006 to Amelopsis and her blogging crew.
Interesting goals and assets.I just wish you all the best in the year 2006.Having an open mind to learn new things will always see you flying above.
Many many thanks for the good wishes, I wish you all a Happier 2006
