Right now, this minute

What I'm thinking, right now, this minute,,,,,, I'm disappointed in the politics of my church, i have choices,,, i can find another church, like some have done, have them take me off the registry and not send me information on the goings on, or put my head in the sand and go on as it is.....humm, sounds like a familiar incident that happened to me when i was young, but much more innocent. It's such a shame a place you call home is not exempt from these things. The "EVIL" one is always present doing what he does best. Is there any place on this planet that is exempt from the "Evil" one,,,,,NO, NO and NO!!! I love this Church, but i do have to make a choice. Starting over,,,hummm, not easy at all, putting my head in the sand,,,humm not me at all,,,,. The right answer will come, i will be patient and let God decide!!!

Think,,,Re-think,,,and Think again

Thinking what you think you saw, but didn't really see, or hearing what you thought you heard, but upon re-thinking you didn't hear it correctly. If one thinks about it then re-thinks, you may want to think again. The minute place in the brain, that plays the "trickery" is thinking faster than you can think.

Annoying, Amusing

The obsession with "Hollywood" folks is rather amusing to me. They are put up on a pedestal by folks thinking they are beyond sin or wrong doing. This goes for politicians, sportsmen and so on. When it is found that they are not as perceived, folks get even more obsessed about there lives, affairs and immoral lifestyles. They follow the tabloids and news as if it were part of "there" life. Talk shows keep talking, reporters keep reporting day after day personal lives of the "famous". Extremely annoying to me, but amusing as well.

Negativity

As a society we become obsessed with the negative. One characteristic of negative thinkers is their need to have the world behave according to their wishes. They have never grown up and still live with childish demands. Whenever people and the world fail to act according to their selfish wishes, they are unhappy. Such a poisonous attitude prevents them from growing and learning how to cope with life's challenges. Negative attitude also saps one’s energy, focus, and motivation. Imagine being in a small boat drifting in a river. And imagine being unaware that your boat has a motor. As long as you fail to use that motor you will be a captive of the river. You will be a prisoner without any control over your destination. Yet, the boat that we're in does have a motor. We can use it to change course. That motor is our power of choice. All we have to do is choose to look for the good, for when we do so, that is all we will find!

Seeing Nature

When we open our eyes to nature, we see that things around us are never the same, and we discover, each hour, each day, each year, new things that have there own stories to tell. There is just so much,,,,,more than enough for a lifetime of discovery!

Un-Wired

If one could get into my mind/brain,"hard wire" will it differ from what they see as to what i see, hear what i hear. Perception of color, smell. All though impossible (for now) the fascination of the brain and complexity of what it is capable of makes me wonder if someday this could be a possibility, or maybe i am a little "un-wired".

That's Life

Life has a course with a beginning, a middle and an End. Egg, Embryo, Baby, Child, Adolescent, Adult, Old age, Death.

Lotions, Potions,,,,,,Goop

If you were to believe "mostly the shopping networks" that you can remove wrinkles, discolorations, fine lines, brighten your eyes, tighten sagging, cover anything you don't want seen on your face and soften you entire body beyond belief, then every woman would look amazing. Layer upon layer of serums, wrinkle removers, primer, concealer, then your foundation and lastly a powder to set all of this. You are supposed to look 30 at 50 after all. Then there are lotions and potions to remove all of this gunk at night. It doesn't stop there, then comes the night time regimen with more lotions potions and goop. Admittedly i am vein, i have tried some of these, but soon learned 99 percent of them do not work. Samples are the key! The ones that are the most effective will give samples or a trial size. So as i watch people swear this product is the best ever with new and natural ingredients, with literally hundreds of the things out there i am amused.

Visionary brain

Our eyes are only as good as our brain. Vision is our main source of sensory information. If you are blind, you brain depends on feel, touch, smell and hearing. A musician can still play, and actor can still act, a singer can still sing through the sensors the brain uses to compensate for loss of vision. One of the best examples of this is one of my favorites, the story of Esref Armagan, the artist with no eyes. It is one thing to have seen then have gone blind, but to never have seen and still be able to paint, even in dimension shows just how powerful our brain/mind can be. I feel that there is so much more to be learned about this complex organ, only the surface has been scratched.
