Late night thoughts

I wrote this last night when i got home but couldn't upload it til this morning because i didn't' have internet.....

That was one of the top 5 most amazing days/nights of my life. Time just kind of blended all together and for most of the night i couldn't tell you what time it was within a 6 hour time frame. I guessed once, and i was 7.5 hours off i found out later..

I just got back to my hostel and its about 3 AM Amsterdam time. I have had so many crazy adventures tonight it is unreal. I wanted to type some down on the computer before I forget them.
I did the whole Amsterdam experience tonight and it was awesome, minus the whole 50 euro for the girl in the window thing. Met so many interesting people and had a great time. My battery died in the camera but I cant wait to see some of the crazy videos and pics tomorrow.

One pervasive thought that I can remember tonight was the constant battle of living in the moment vs. trying to remember or hold on to the energy at the peak times of the night. Sometimes I would think of friends/family back home and how I couldn’t wait to share experiences and ideas with certain people and I would try to hold on to a thought in order to remember it later. Then there were times when I felt that energies and thoughts were passing though and I wasn’t holding on to anything…..wasn’t spending more than a split second on any one individual thought. Even though I could only do that for brief spurts at a time during a narrow window of time, it was an amazing feeling. It was for very brief moments of time living completely in the present. If I could figure out how to incorporate that idea into my daily everyday life, that would be something special. It would be a huge step in the path of achieving bliss, keeping all negative thoughts and energies away by letting them almost instantly pass on before they have any time to resonate, dwell on, or react to.
