Do you find me entertaining?

I certainly do.

(btw, if you don't find me entertaining, the unsubscribe link is down there 👇 somewhere)

So, I'll assume you do. It will be easier for me, that way.

The alternative is to assume you don't. That's what I tend to do.

It's probably what you do, too, when you communicate with people. That's my best guess, having observed lots of people communicating. Most of them do not think they are very entertaining, and it shows.

Then, someone like Donald Trump comes along, and people HATE him, because he knows how entertaining he is.

Now, I'm going to segue into talking about meditation, because I want you to buy my meditation course. Why do I want that? Because it's what I'm selling. Why am I selling it? Because some people said they wanted it. Why aren't I selling something other people want? I don't know, maybe I am. But, probably not.

Hope you find this entertaining.

My guess is that you find it only mildly entertaining, rather than COMPLETELY FASCINATING.

That's because you are so incredibly disconnected from your reality.

I'm just writing to a computer screen. I'm in a room by myself.

Is it really any wonder that I sound this way?

If that's not clear, let me know. But, I'm not sure how I can be more explicit.

You don't need to detox from social media.

Social media is here to stay. Get used to it.

Instead, you can find a way to live with it. Enjoy it. Make peace with it.

You know you want to. That's why you're so addicted to it. You want it. Don't pretend otherwise.

Take ownership of your social media posts. You can use it for your own benefit. It doesn't have to be just pictures of nature and food. You can use it to EXPRESS YOURSELF.

But, of course, this is hard. You don't want to put yourself out there like that. You don't want to show the parts of you that other people may not like.

Other people….I hate them.

What would you post if you didn't have to worry about what your friends would think of you? What would that free you up to do?

What gets you excited?

At the end of your life, what will you regret not having said?

Every Sunday morning, I play the organ at a church. Since March, it's been weird.

At first, we were meeting on Zoom. Now, we're meeting in person.

Not sure which I like better. I don't like wearing a mask (Calm down…I've been wearing it around other people. Still don't like it.)

I don't like following strict schedules (I didn't realize how much I hated this until I stopped doing it.)

I don't like wrestling with audio technology when people are depending on it working in real-time, and especially not when there's no way to monitor the sound on my end.

I used to direct the choir, too, but they haven't been meeting yet this fall. I don't know how we're going to handle that. It's a big question mark.

The services are still being broadcast on Zoom. I've been singing while playing the organ, for the benefit of the people at home.

I'm not used to singing at the organ. It's confusing, physically. Trying to balance on the bench while breathing in a way that works for singing. Very odd. (balancing on an organ bench is weird enough to begin with, since you play with your feet as well as your hands…it's quite a workout).

My attitude tends to be “whatever”. After all, I'm a meditator. I should be able to handle whatever bullshit gets thrown at me.

And, honestly, I can.

Doesn't mean I always like it, though.

It has come to my attention that in Canada, they love ketchup even more than in the US.

I want to make it clear that I am not a friend of ketchup. I'll eat it once in a while, under very special circumstances, but that's rare.

I've also learned that Canadians put it on grilled cheese and Kraft macaroni and cheese (which they call “Kraft dinner”). I'll just let that soak in for a second.

Sriracha is a far better condiment. I don't see how this can be up for debate.

It's spicy, it's flavorful, and it's not something you'll find in a pump at McDonald's. This makes it classy.

For breakfast this morning, I had an omelette with sriracha on top. I would never do this with ketchup. I have more self-respect than that.

I don't mean to cause an international incident here.

Just wanted to set the record straight.

By the way: if you haven't bought my meditation course No Problem, I want to know why. This isn't a guilt trip. It's market research. Please reply and let me know. It will save me a lot of guesswork.
