calf sweat

July 30, 2008

they do sweat. i find it inexplicable that the front of my calves can sweat. but they can. and they did. a lot. along with every single other pore in my entire body.

yesterday was my first moksha yoga experience. 38 degrees celcius. 100% humidity. it’s like doing yoga in the middle of august in downtown toronto. it’s hot. and it’s hard. harder than any yoga i’ve ever done. harder than a full ashtanga series with all those goddamn vinyasas. it’s hard.

but i am going to keep going. i’m going to go again today in fact. the new sensation of heart racing and pores pouring and body heat exploding left me feeling well rested and rejuvenated this morning. i was BRUTALIZED by tired last night but this morning i felt pretty good.

and besides, i look at the people that do hot yoga a lot and they are SKINNY. i am going to go there and just sweat all the fat off my body. it’ll be fucking great!

maybe it’s that time.

i feel like i’d like to be blogging again. i know no one really reads this but maybe i need to do it for me. 

maybe. 

i’ve changed the look of the good ol’ inter-office dance party. it needed less darkness. 

things are super here in edmitten. the sun is out, keeping me warm and well-fed with vitamin D. i have experienced things in the last few months that have reminded me why being an artist is so essential to my well being the best path i could be on. sure, it’s still appealing from time to time to take a step towards something else. towards being able to afford things. towards a life where my day-job was my job. towards… whatever. but those “towards” statements just take me away from somewhere i love and from people i love and from the kind of experiences i’ve had and will continue to have. 

so yeah… it’s late and i’m tired but i’m pleased to still have this bad boy up and kicking and i think i am going to use it for me…creative pursuits from time to time. observations. short fictions. poems (if i don’t barf at my own pretention) as well as the occassional update on actual things related to life. nick also says i should be some sort of pop-culture essayist so maybe there’ll be some of that on here as well. 

ha ha! 

michelle. 

in other news, i only listen to country music again so if you’ve got some good stuff kicking around hit me up!
