Hard Headed Woman

In continuing my habit of not writing and just posting videos, I wanted to share some Cat Stevens. Cat Stevens was a big influence on my early life. His music seemed pervasive, and was often my music of choice when I was under 12. This particular song always seemed like useful advice to me, and I realized it at an early age. Not that I followed the advice. At least, not until now.

Jacaranda Petals and White Picket Fence

Jacaranda Petals and White Picket Fence Originally uploaded by kevin.haroun My neighbors house is quiet lovely. It has a white picket fence and a jacaranda tree that just finished blooming. It's always interesting to me the ways people make the compound in to home. My own yard has banana trees and corn growing in it. Maybe not "home" to me, but my gardener is happy with it. Not sure if the idea of xeriscaping will ever catch on here. A pity. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the falling petals.

Kabalarian Philosophy

A name website a friend pointed me to, my interest in astrology and related arts is only for the use as tools in Jungian analysis, or self-analysis. Still, interesting stuff: The name of Kevin creates an overly-sensitive nature which causes you to sense and feel far more than you can understand or put into words.

Writing is a more natural mode of expression for your deeper thoughts and feelings than the spoken word. You have an ability to concentrate and work intently on anything which holds your interest. However, you prefer to avoid routine, monotony, and mental tasks. Kabalarian Philosophy

Spending a lot of time on your own gives you time to reflect. On yourself, on life, on what you are doing. It also gives you time to indulge things you might not otherwise, fearing the reaction of family and friends. For a long time now, I've been wondering what I would look like bald. The hair at the back of my head has been thinning out in an annoying fashion. I recall it starting that way on my older brother when I was in my twenties. I told myself if my hair went the same way, I would shave my head. The result, well, you can see and decide for yourself. Surprisingly, I'm pretty happy with the look. If my beard wasn't coming in with so much grey already, I'd consider getting it shaved every week. As it is, I'm letting it grow back out. Just won't have to worry about getting it trimmed for a while.
