Info dump

So I kinda got a cool surprise in the mail today! My hand made newsboy that I ordered from Amlowi's Esty shop!!

Anyway I'm saving it for wearing on our trip to Yellowstone. Yep Yellowstone! Squeeee! *does a mega happy dance* Over night trip with a stay in Jackson Hole. Expect lots of pic of our trip.


*sigh* Even with all the stuff going on I'm worried about money. With the trip and then with that damndable ticket I'm worried and crap. I also have to drop by the doctor to have a blood test (nothing to worry bout just a check of levels and all that normal crap) ...but still more money and time. Then on top of that John, Paul and myself are going to be picking up the new World of Warcraft expac (CEs *crosses fingers*) in Nov. Just to many things are hitting close together.

And yes some of the stuff is optional but dang it we have been planning on the CEs and Yellowstone for over a year so it is happening unless we hit the wall.

*dies*

Anyway new seasons are starting up of mine and Paul's fav shows. Best ones so far are "Supernatural" and just tonight the two hour premier of "Heros". Me and the boys have been watching "Jericho" through Netflix and it is true if you like "Lost" then you will most likely dig "Jericho".


Anyway back to the trip. I still have to gut the car and clean it really well. Inside and out would be nice but the inside windows need a really good scrub (you know what I mean Craig lol). Need to move the stuff in the trunk out to make room for our bags and supplies.


...well that is all right now. I could expand even more on the above but that would just bore you all so I'll leave it at that right now.

**Oh just a personal FYI still need to check out the library selection of audio books on CDs.

Minds eye

There is something that drives me to try and find out why, what and how.

I think it is what drives me to take sociology, physiology, anthropology and all other classes that help people see who people are and what they do and why they do it.

Also taking classes that have to do with philosophy and world religions. Anything that lets me climb into your head and try to see the world through your eyes (or minds eye).

I have this games of sorts that I play with my siblings on long drives or while we are out running errands. I call it "What if?" I set up a situation and then ask them how they would react to it or try and solve it. It really lets me see the world through their eyes.

I dunno what drives me down this road of thought but it has helped me understand people more and help my friends and family.

Another added benefit is that it helps me in my writing. When you understand the thought process behind a person you can put more into a character (or at least that is what has helped me).

I think that is the reason why I really am taken by the Post Secret project and books.

It is one of the ultimate inside look at another persons brain. And how many people see the world in so many different ways. No to really judge the secret the same way.

You know the saying "fly on a/the wall" well I would really like to be a fly on the wall watching people sometimes.
