Popular thoughts on my mind... and in my public journal:

My current philosophy is that life is a series of experiences... good or bad... and we are either riding a wave way bigger than us pushing us and pulling us, as if we were floating in the ocean - in myriad directions - or we're swimming through the ocean with direction, and purpose for a given experience.

Both are good ways of approaching the ocean depending on what we seek to achieve from a given experience. For some, floating in the ocean, and living to tell about it, without drowning is enough.
And I completely respect that.

Excerpt from a conversation with Melanie Haber on 6/14/05 via AIM, a topic of conversation was how people can just get up and move to a foreign place/country, all alone:

[22:39] peanut4932: i really admire people who can just up and leave and start a whole new life in a whole new place all alone
[22:39] skalifowitz: yeah
[22:39] skalifowitz: I mean, its not that hard... its just a certain state of mind that one needs to be in
[22:39] skalifowitz: what I mean to say is that of course its difficult
[22:40] skalifowitz: but if you're in the right state of mind, as with anything, you just go with the flow
[22:40] skalifowitz: and things work out
[22:40] skalifowitz: nothing is easy... but everything is made more difficult when one doesn't have focus on what it is they want to get out of a certain experience
[22:41] peanut4932: i couldn't agree with you more
