Noise

Noise

If one clicks on the hyperlink, I particular liked the American Heritage Dictionary definition #3.

But think about this as a concept. Noise is where we are wherever we go. We block it out or eavesdrop. We seem to search for that moment of peace and quiet. Now most of us don't need a psychiatrist to take the baby steps needed to walk away from the noise that distracts us. But don't we all at one time or another want to just get away and be left in quietness for awhile.

If I didn't get you to stop reading and walk away with that, you are being affected too much by

the noise.

Hypothetical

Hypothetical

Most people would dismiss this line of reasoning because after all, "it is what it is." The "What if" scenario was introduced to us in the elementary and high school arenas. Do you remember them? Get into your groups. Play God. Now decide whose going to die or live? The racist, the retarded, the wheelchair, genetic disease carrier, the healthy person. Now I got an F in my 11th grade experiment because I refuse to participate. I want to elect that everyone dies including the people in our group or least we were able to eliminate ourselves if we wanted. After this decision, the teacher said we couldn't eliminate ourselves. "PlayGod"

I don't know about you but what ifs don't sit well with me. But reality is where we live and to digress from it into the hypothetical, I just don't know. Logical arguments about topics. Sure. Okay. It usually boils down with me anyway. What happened? Not what if this happened. And how can I change how I react and interact with that particular situation? After all, Evolving to a better you is really the purpose of this... life.

Offbeat, outofstep, ELI the ICE man

Many of us have heard the remarks before. Take the road less taken. Move to your own drumbeat. Go against the Flow. Fools them all I say. The illusion of controlling one's movement or path one travels is a common one. Coming to the realization that one cannot control everything should be enlightening. Many feed themselves the line of baloney, "I control my own destiny." Wake up, o ye Disillusioned. Your destiny upwards lies in the fact that the outside interactes with you and limits your mobility. Your born environmental conditions may limit the thinking needed to find the purpose of this life. Just remember the adage, "Who is your worst enemy and greatest ally? You." Remember that sci-fi book where scientist take a trip. One of them lands on a planet where a huge brain dictates the rhythm of the inhabitants. The scientist sees a little boy bouncing a ball offbeat. Next day, the boy is in a chamber forcibly made to conform.

When you feel out of sync and feel a trip to Schmitt Music is in order for a fine tuning, just remember. Timing is never right for whatever endeavor you are undertaking. The stars don't line up. You may be outofstep with those around you but remember to stay "You".

So to maintain this line of thinking that I am on, Farethewell.

To all the Techies, involving phase relationships.

ELI the ICE man

P.S. Al Gore's personality is finally actualized.

Things around me make me think

If you have ever had one of those days in which you question most things
and they pile up like a list of good books to read, you know what I am talking about.

Like how can I be a good dad? compile list...

How can I help others? Repeat first action

(Insert your question). Repeat 1st action.

A week later, one will have forgotten either because an effort wasn't made to accomplish the tasks to answer that particular question.

Shame.
Double Shame.

Or a person allows the business of life to erase the evolutionary steps we had thought about to improve.
Shame.
Shame. Shame. (You groaned.)
So I think this parade of letters forming words that you are reading can end with this.

What is the purpose of this (life)?
Compile a list.
After all,
what is the best thing that could happen?

Back in the saddle

Start singing the Gene Autry tune.
Well, it's the first night back at school. I can't find my bookbag with all my stuff. Argh! says Captain Pirate. Total loss, I hope not. Replaceable things: Oscilloscope and multimeter connectors; pens, pencils, books($120 a pop x2), calculator($15),
Irreplaceable: My Notes from past subjects(This is a year's worth) This will make studying a little harder but hopefully, it will show up. The Three choices: Misplaced, stolen, (okay so I can't count).
Hope things are going well on you the reader's end.
Here's to the struggle against the corporate and imperialist society we currently live in.

Grease the Gears, time to get rollin

Time to get rolling again. If any of you who read this, know that I am plugging away at work and school is about to start up again. At the age of 33, I am back in school after earning a BA in Media Communication in '98. I never have worked in that field of study. Hoping to achieve an A.A.S. (I think they doubled the wrong letter.) in Electronic Technology. I pre-emptively choose to go back to school, hoping keep the job I have worked up to longer. I can say that I enjoy the people I work with and despite managerial efforts, we laugh every day. My wife thinks that after I am done, I will earn a lot more money. Maybe but probably not. I hope to not have to change jobs again but it is anyone's guess how long a person is able to keep their jobs nowadays. Vegas should take bets on that. ....

As many know, I like to read books. The book I am reading is called "Straight Talk from the Heartland by Ed Schultz. Take some time during lunch and listen on 950 AM. Go get em, Ed.

Mainly, I hope to figure out how to start patenting my writing, a board game, keep my job, pass school, and more importantly, improve my relationships with family and friends. Now there's a new year's resolution that I didn't expect to write

If Silence is golden, then ...

If Silence is golden, then I should be a gazillionaire. Conflict resolution is not my strong suit. If there ever is conflict, I invoke silence. If not talking was an art form, I would be a famous artist.
I was told before I was married that there are things a couple will have problems involving. Money and Trust are two things that come to mind. Respect is another. A country song goes, "Two out of three ain't half bad." For the most part, it hasn't been half bad. But another song says "Money makes the world go 'round." This is usually the source of my problem. I usually don't have enough money. God has been good in providing. He will continue to do so, I am confident. It doesn't make it easier dealing with. Conflict seems to come about involving this issue. I hope to make it through. This about all I am going to tell you because after all, ...

Shh....

Silence is golden.

(I know I am going to strike it rich)

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

The lion. A symbol of power, pride, and God. Yes, those of you who have read C.S. Lewis' Narnia series know this analogy. He does exist. Sorry, but I do believe God is a he.

We roar through each year and let the days pass by without much thought. Drift like wood in the ocean. Wake up! Start consciously tackling the issues that bother you. Evolve. Become better.

Steadfast must the steps one takes towards the goal set before you. The speck of driftwood will eventually be flushed from your eyes and maturity will set in.

The Witch. A symbol for an evildoer. One who would cast spells to thwart your activities to become a better person. What is good? What is nobler than the selfish desires of your heart? What is a selfless act? Beware the ones who will say it's okay. Do not fret. Go with the flow.

"I don't think so!"

Go against the flow of the superhighway everyone is traveling down to their own ends (and might I say to their own ruin). The purpose has already been set. Cast aside the doubt that you can achieve what has alluded you for so long.

Boldly go where no one has gone before.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Wardrobe. The symbol of the means(morally and ethically good) used to journey towards the desireable. What do I mean by morally and ethically good? Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. These are two basic guiding principles one should use when addressing issues of concern in one's life journey. What is the desireable? To be in commune with the Almighty, I AM. How does one do this? What is the purpose of this? I wonder sometimes how much time does it take to answer 1 question? Because sometimes 1 ? leads to more ?s and dogpiles upon each other. Plan an attack to the issue that you are having. Do it. Step forward. Mature. Stop stagnating in the amoeba state. Be human. That passive verb really is active when one thinks about it.

Be.
