The Zone and how to get there

[bruin70]

Hi this is Fast, I use head phones and my mp3 player for my downloads mostly when the music in the room bothers me or I dont like it. I use my music to cover or drown out theirs. It's a self ,,,,
In my studio at home, I mostly listen to the Buddhist monks of the maitri vikar monsastery and their bells, or somewhere in time, and nature sounds. I have downloaded over 1000 songs along these lines so I can play in total peace and serenity for weeks and never hear the same song twice. ,,,,

FL,,,so you like the serene stuff. have you tried japanese shakuhachi(bamboo flute), or native american "wind" music(i believe). sounds just like the japanese music. very quiet,very contemplative.

I like native american but like the drumming better. I actually have two drums that I play a little. The first one i got has a picture of a bluewolf on it. It is part of my story about where I got my bluewolf name from.

ahh... tonight, I played a 9 ball ring game, race to 5, against two friends in my local pool hall here in the Philippines.

And, tonight, for that 1st set... and part of the next set, I was in the zone.

I hardly missed any balls, I was making and seeing combinations and caroms, really thin cuts were ridiculously easy...and I was playing fast and aggressive.

I felt like I was floating around the table.

That must have been the zone... and I want to get back in it again!

I won that first set, 5 - 0 - 0.

I hate voodoo. It is not funny. I know all about those weird stories from countries that practice this. This is real wicked stuff. I cant believe you guys are laughing about this!!!! This voodoo is real, it is weird, and it is scary!!!!

Laura, Like all religions, Voodoo has some very beautiful elements and some darker elements, as well. If all you know about Voodoo is what you've seen in the movies you don't really know anything about it at all. It's not at all about killing chickens. Ever occur to you that a voodoo doll could be used for healing? The movies do a really good job of creating a bad wrap for Voodoo.

How about Christians handling poisinous snakes? That's real weird and real scary. What about the Bris? Let's not even go there!

Meditation is a big part of Voodoo, Christianity, Judaism, Buddaism, Hinduism, and every other religion I've ever heard of - and a big part of plaing pool. Whether or not you realize it, you are using visualization on every shot - which is nothing but a form of meditation. Prayer is a form of meditation, too. Don't knock it if you ain't tried it.

Actually some of us were teasing about voodoo. I wasnt the one who started the tease, though, I was just being a tad more theatrical. Yes I am sure a voodoo doll could be used for healing. Never was one for dolls, anyway, though. Always like football and climbing trees and stuff better.

although San Francisco is a melting pot of diversity, that doesn't mean there aren't good people there

Hello:
Do you mean that most places that are melting pots of diversity don't have good people there?

 

[Rickw]

No. I was responding to a post saying that SF was melting pot full of blankety blanks. I was merely trying to say that SF has some good people there. Most places do if you look hard enough don't you think?

"Nice back pedal from what U said originally. It sounds like U stuck UR foot in UR mouth again."

YW, you keeping score or something?

Fast, your back! What happened! Are you on probation or did the will of the people hand you a reprieve? (or did you just re-register! ;-)
