MEN…

I am finding that many of the men that I meet are deeply profound… Then there are equally as many men who are sooo shallow that I can barely wade in… Of course since I live in LA, there are just as many who are just plain ol’ profoundly shallow!!!
Of course there would be those sparse few who have that lovely balance of naivete and curiosity for life, but enough experience to make them wise in decision making…
SUFFICE IT TO SAY, life is in full swing with me… I have been grappling with changing the whole nature of this blog as I have recently discovered that what I have been writing has been breaching a time honored tenet and tradition of a spiritual group I belong to… Again, I don’t even know why I am being so cryptic about it when I have been so blatantly open in past entries for many years…
So how does one undo so many years of a time honored tradition of not “promoting” the very spiritual program I am living by sharing my personal experiences? Expecially when these experiences good and bad hopefully will help inspire or motivate another person to become a better person? Goodness knows I have been down many paths that don’t work and can share those with you so that you need not go through what I went through. Guess I get to pray on this as well as ask those who have a lot more time in the group than I do for their guidance…
This is not the main reason why I haven’t blogged folks… Between, weddings, sailing, helping others, work work work, and just having an incredibly full life I find myself too exhausted to blog as therapeutic as I know it is for me… Sigh… What is a boy to do!!!
Last blurb is that I have been suffering from some mild grade of circumstantial depression… Perhaps it’s stress from a lot of work and new responsibilities… Perhaps it’s because I am about a month away from a very important sober anniversary of not having shoved any mind altering substance into my body… Perhaps it’s because it’ll be 4 years since Mom died this upcoming week… Perhaps it’s because I have been “slowly” purging my life of the very clutter that is keeping other people away from my home… IS THERE SUCH A THING AS EXPERIENCING A THIRD LIFE CRISIS?
Well, either way, I wouldn’t have been able to do all this without your unconditional love, support, thoughts and prayers… May your journey be as interesting as mine is going…
You may reach me via e-mail at quoclam@gmail.com. I have a blackberry now and able to receive messages and reply very quickly. I find most correspondences from viewers here asking me about different points of interests like directions to the Hollywood sign… Again, who knows what purpose this blog site serves… Heck, I have been doing this for so long, it’s just become a rather regular part of my life to share those highlights with you…
I strongly support you in finding me in my new hobby and “addiction” facebook… JUST LOOK UP “QUOC LAM” and friend me. I think there are few enough Quoc Lam’s on facebook for you to easily find me. Don’t take it personally if you do request to be a friend and I ask “who the heck” you are as I do truly have over 600 friends I have actually met and know personally! Very very cool!
Until I check in again… Don’t forget to pause in the pursuit of happiness just to be happy! See you here, on facebook via e-mail or heaven forbid I get to see you the way that we used to… IN PERSON!!!
Always in love & service,
Quoc
