These are my cyberfied cerebral synapses ricocheting off reality as I perceive it: thoughts, opinions, passions, rants, art and poetry...

Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” This is how I see life - a subjective journey where change remains the only constant and, ultimately, all the elements for inner peace and internal chaos co-exist. It is how these elements arrange and manifest in the moment, and how we handle their manifestation that creates our reality and state of being. Nietzsche also wrote: “I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.” While not intending to be elitist, I do believe in making life a journey of transformation, but understand that this may not look the same in the mind's of others. And so I try to live by the words of Mahatma Gandhi: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

i love Guinness, too.
do you know Japanese beer "Yebisu"?
one of my japanese friends told me that you could mix Guinness and Yebisu Gold half and half,
then you get wonderful colour of beer in your glass~ it's really simple to make. so try for fun!!!

Though I've never had it with the Japanese beer that you mentioned, a drink that's half Guinness and half lager is called a "Black & Tan" (see your Irish history books for who he Black & Tans were). It is quite nice - makes for a really creamy ale.

Happy 40 3/4! :-) I love a Guinness from time to time. Very silky, just as you say.
I LOVED the poem you wrote on my blog. It really captured what I was painting, and I thank you for taking the time to go in deep with it. Lovely lovely. :-)

I am sure Arthur Guinness would have been touched by your haiku.
Have you ever been on the Guinness Factory Tour in Dublin? Big time fun. My husband acted like he was in a shrine.

Yeah, I lived in Dublin for a while and went on the tour. I thought it was a wee bit of a let down compared to other breweries that I've visited (like Tubourg, Heineken, etc.). It's a bit cruel that you only got the one pint too! Still, it is a shrine for all other intents and purposes!
