yes,yuniesky
i've thought of doing a weekly update but i don't know...plus,i don't know who reads me,really. i'm not very regularly reciprocal nor do i write regularly,so who knows. anyway,i suppose if i did it it would be pretty much for me since i'd only do it because i felt like writing and keeping track of myself for the future. anyway,i'm in a rambling mood,so i thought i'd write right now.
first,i recently got a newer car,a 2001 toyota echo. i like to name my cars,and so i spent a couple of weeks looking at a few baby name books,but i've ended up naming her after a cuban baseball player who currently plays for the seattle mariners named yuniesky betancourt. yuniesky is such a cool name,and my car has grown into it. i've even pondered getting a vanity plate that says 'yuniesky'. i'll put that on the to-do list of my personal secretary.
secondly,a shout-out to my sister sara aka![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarfields who is in costa rica right now on a volunteer vacation,helping out with some cool little kids and speaking a bit of spanish and dancing up a storm too. hope your tummy is feeling better tonight. you rock!
this morning i had a pretty frustrating ocd flare-up. i have a mild-but-annoying skin condition that sets it off into yucky contamination fears,and i wash my hands a lot. it's no fun being disturbed by your own skin,believe me. sometimes i think if i didn't have the skin condition,i wouldn't have the ocd,but the ocd is a function of the brain,so something else might set it off. the thing to do is to figure out some good measures for the brain stuff. i think i'm going to post to the abraham-hicks group on yahoo and see if there's any feedback on an abrahamian approach,since in general it is excellent cognitive work. it's good to have some hope,because sometimes it goes from being just frustrated to feeling really hopeless and despairing for a while,and that's no fun,to put it mildly. anyway,i'm feeling better now,thank goodness.
last night i watched a really fun red sox game where the pitcher,josh beckett,not only pitched a decent game,but also batted in the tying run,then scored the go-ahead run,and later hit a home run!
i'm not a huge fan of interleague play,but this could only have happened without a dh slot,so the pitcher had to hit. it just really tickled my funnybone to see him do it all in one game.
i'm thinking maybe it would be cool to keep track of all the interesting stuff i read every week. my life isn't really all that exciting,but the stuff i learn is. and i love to learn. maybe if i did that i'd find my audience here on lj. who knows. of course,i realize you can't have an 'audience' if you don't write! also,i don't really run with the usual of how a lot of folks seem to approach lj. for instance,i noticed that anytime i delete someone from my friends list because i don't feel i have anything to connect with them on anymore,they delete me a short time later. this seems to indicate to me that i'm only on their flist because they're on mine,and i don't operate that way. folks are on my reading list because what they write about is of interest to me,and if that is true,it doesn't matter whether i'm on THEIR list or not (except if they're friends only,in which case i have sometimes asked people to friend me if they wouldn't mind so i can read their journal.)
well,anyhow,i think i'm going to go watch red sox week and report while my laundry is drying.
buenos noches,amigos,and yes,my spanish is really rusty,though this week at work i learned that the term for 'father-to-be' in spanish is futuro padre or papa,at least according to the customer who requested a book in spanish on the subject.
peace out,dudes.

Guess I have more to say...
I also write for myself. I like the idea of having a record for posterity's sake. It's been helpful a couple of times already. More importantly though is the brain dump + introspection that happens when I do write here.

Have you ever read Schwartz's book Brain Lock or the other one The Mind and the Brain? They both deal with OCD, though the first is the one more focused on treating it. Some of that helped me get mine under more control. He has had a lot of success according to reports, but what works for some may not work for others.
And a lot of people keep LJ as a diary, whether or not anyone reads it. :-)
