3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
The happiness of my character continues to expand! At the Weekend Job, Slime Manager has departed, marking the complete disappearance of everyone there who made life difficult. The Weekend Job consequently has lost all "grief" and I am now happy to go there! 

At home, Son has chosen to spend his birthday at home with me! What greater compliment could there be than for your 19-year-old son to think of you as his best friend?! 

I am truly savouring all this bliss, but nevertheless, I know better then to get "lost" in the character once more, and I maintain by intention of perpetual Universal Consciousness. This character's brain is unfortunately fully capable of self-sabotage by the wandering of attention into dark places. I conclude that I can get the best enjoyment out of the character from the Universal perspective.

8. TRIVIA
Upper Paleolithic art dating back 30,000 years depicts people using dildos to pleasure themselves and others. That means mankind invented sex toys long before the wheel. 


9. ZEN WISDOM
Our hopes, desires and ambitions are powerful forces existing within us for the shaping of the future. They are the generating forces that create the future. To lose hope or give up one’s goals because of the setbacks of the moment is to diminish one’s own life potential. Hopes, dreams, faith and sense of mission enable us to open up our lives.
