I can’t tell the difference between whether I am the boss or the builder. Or maybe I’m just the bitchy homeowner who can’t stop redecorating even while the process of building is underway. Okay, it’s an opportunity to make money and at this level of wealth, what’s a few extra $100,000 either way. It’s a big money game and if you want to play lady, we got all you need. You need some builder, I got a builder for you.

But it seems that Lefty has decided to show up and play ball. Gosh darn it all to heck, he can play good and it’s been a long time since he’s been gone. Do we trust him? No. But the current belief is that if we can remove the opportunities for heroism, hopefully he’ll be just fine.

But with it is a brand new life. Suddenly I am an animate again. Oh how long has it been since I was last and animate. I have been a plant for way too long.

Believe it or not, this article is about feng shui. I’m just talking about what this feels like. Like Tai Lung breaking out of prison after 20 years of immobility because of the epic failures of corrupt bureaucrats to keep their promises.

Yes. It seems Thai Lung is free. Fly back and tell them that the real dragon warrior is coming home.

So what this is all about is that with freedom of movement comes the opportunity to do things. And when you live in a pretty dusty house, your first urge is to start cleaning up. Okay, okay, okay don’t get started on how much cleaning needed to be done. Everybody has read the fucking blog. Everybody knows the story. A year and a half. They made me suffer for a year and a half and I’m never even allowed to know if I can trust my own left leg. And you don’t think that fucks with you?

Being subjected constantly to known carcinogens is not good for my mood or my garden.

I guess the thing is I was given as a gift from my father an appreciation of Asian culture. My father got it first hand in Korea and it stayed with him for the rest of his life. That and a love for cowboy boots.

Do I eat with chopsticks? What a stupid question. What do you use, a fork? I mean seriously, do you want to talk about the things you knowingly put in your mouth?

Once you start cleaning however there is the question of what clean actually means. There is this miserable dust that I am currently attacking with an unused paintbrush. This works very well and it also gives me an interesting sound when I drum on my desk for rhythm. Light, light, light jazz.

So what are we talking about? The coolest room in the world? We’re not talking about competition, we’re talking about talking to each other. The question here is whether I can do this. I’m talking about the picture that’s somewhere in this particular post. The answer is yes I can and in fact it’s not even close to being hard to do.

But when you become an animate, and you agree that in all your brutish form, you are going to start moving yourself through your world, it seems there are quite a few responsibilities that appear in so far as properly stewarding your habitat is concerned. How do you make things just so?

The answer is feng shui. Make the effort to copy these two words put them on the Internet and ask them what’s going on when you’re satisfied come back and we will continue the conversation. Okay, are we together?

Watch some of this guy’s videos and explain to me where he is wrong?

So there are some very pleasing things about my life and most of the pleasing things have everything to do with a very reasonable sense of feng shui that went in to placing them. My habitat is not so bad at all. Ventilates well in the summer and I can remain warm at a reasonable expense in the winter. The windows offer some views that I have quite become accustomed to and find forever pleasing each time I look.

But I’m modifier and an improviser. A truly nefarious friend of mine once told me that the two keys to mechanics are to modify and improvise. If I’m going to walk into a space and start cleaning, what the word cleaning actually means suddenly comes into question. What would be the cleanest possible look?

And let’s just pause and listen to some epic Led Zeppelin Zoso, which I have been reminded to mention plays exceedingly well as a backdrop for the June 14th Mets Yankees game highlight replay. Let’s all think about buying our stairway to heaven. We’re not talking about money. We’re just talking about cleaning up.

By the way, the highlights only cover the first two songs. You can just sit and listen to the next two and wait for the solo.

What I’m saying is, I guess I was bold enough to push against the status quo that was the mess of my kitchen and I put things in order. I’m not only made the place look cleaner, I’ve made it the most spacious workspace and I was thinking to put some twinkle lights under the top deck I have in the window box just to make Shabbos that much more special.

I think that’s the point of view we animates are supposed to have. We are supposed to want things just so. My only thought, and I believe it is a very feng shui idea, I think we are supposed to do it by hand and by yourself. I think editing is best done by hand. Don’t trust what needs to be bought. They will fail you.
