My occupation as a coach has been an up and down struggle as other life circumstances dictated many lessons. This has been instrumental in exploring the inner experiences, thoughts, and emotions, and relating that in words unique to my experiences or insights. I do so in the best way that I can at that moment, trusting that the right people will connect to what is said. It just doesn’t for everyone.

Nonetheless, there is something for everyone. And the journey of exploring the human animal continues, and the social world we endeavour to keep in place. With the advances of Internet, communication, blogging, and interacting, more and more people are spending time on the Internet than they are in front of a television. Having my career so closely tied to the inner exploration, and a previous occupation in technology, my use of the tools as they’ve come online is a natural.

After many years of engagement online, exploring the human condition, and utilizing technology – always preferring the better UI and service offering combinations – I am discovering an occupational opportunity. You can follow along with this other natural path for those interested in using technology and the Internet to have their voices heard, or their business and services made more accessible.

It’s 4:30 in the morning and I should be in bed. Instead, I connected online to my boss, Riel, a guy I really like. Liking people, for the most part, comes pretty easily. Then we get to know each other and the like-factor diminishes. It might catch you off guard to hear this, and if you consider it you might recognize how new people drift out just as quickly when the chemistry doesn’t jive. This isn’t always apparent immediately either. Sometimes, we grow into situations – emphasis on grow[th].

What About This 4:30 A.M. Nonsense?

I don’t know exactly. There is a liberated sense to life, and working with the team I’m involved with. These are good things. Tonight, I had an appointment for a massage with a beautiful red-head, with a wild mane of hair. The massage did wonders for my back and shoulders. Coming home, I Skype the Boss, and sure enough he’s at work. We have a good supportive chat into some wee hours while doing some review. As well, my Mojo is back!

Yeah, But still, why at 4:30 A.M.?

I’ve been coming back Alive lately. Ironically, I don’t have to move far either. Instead, a lot of the aliveness is created through online activities while sitting at my computer intot he wee hours day and night. Yes, I get out and do coffee, meet friends, and go to work. But I have faithful hours spent in front of my home computer continuing to connect to many people all over the world. The phenomena is called social media networking. More on this another time.

So, I get home at 11:00 P.M., grab a bite to eat for dinner, check in with the Boss, we hammer some stuff out, and I finally say, “My cat wants you to go home, find your cat, and take a time-out.”

He says, “good plan,” and we’re almost done. There’s always one last exciting thing to share. Now I need a few minutes for myself.

Check my email, I’ve got to keep up. If it gets out of hand, it will be a landslide! A lot of new relationships formed over the weekend. It’s so much fun! I enjoy meeting these wonderful people, and yes, a lot of them are also women. What are the odds? Flirt, flirt, you’ve been Poked! And they’re all so intelligent, witty, passionate, and alive.

Life and Love need room to breathe and this exchange of flirtatiousness is a clear sign of the human soul wanting to burst from its cages and breathe oxygen once again! So what are you waiting for? Go on and Poke someone!
