I'm goin a five day weekend so far. Being so friggin cold out, I think it's gonna turn into a nine day'r. Finding something do is gonna be tough. Yesterday I was at Crystal. I would love to do it again, but it's too far. I'll just twiddle my thumbs and drink hot coco until Stevens opens tomorrow.

Friday to Monday

From picking up "professional dancers" and late night rendezvous to riding pow, I'm a lucky s.o.b. Being that it's below freezing, calling one of those ladies we met over the weekend did cross my mind, but managed to stay pretty toasty all on my own. Who knew dancers are cool people too? I am definitely making them my new cocties. As of today we are at a high of 25 degrees. At least I had the day off. After viewing Brian's blog entry. I decided that pho would do great on this cold afternoon. So, I made my way down to one. Out of the 8 customers I was the only Asian. Which is not so weird, being that pho is becoming American as bubble gum. As my pho arrived the waitress asked if I preferred a fork. Of course I replied with a "no thanks". That's when I felt 7 pairs of eyeballs grazing my way like I was the weird one. I knew it was cold, but did hell freeze over? Being curious and concerned as I usually am. I decide to see if hell has officially frozen over. After finishing with my soup I trotted 4 markets over to a Thai restaurant. Peeping only my noggin in and starring from the entrance way I had 6 return stares. To my viewing pleasure there were 6 gooks going to town on some BBQ duck. All I could say was "thank you" as I reciprocated from the entrance way.

Why are we all here on this earth? No I don't have an answer . I often question this myself. What the fuck is our purpose here? So many questions and not enough answers. I once contemplated suicide seeing that it would put an end to this pointless existence. I see love, I see greed, but why is life necessary? There I go again with these questions. Sometimes I think we're like farm ants captured by some hire being forced to live in an eco-cell. As you can see my imagination goes far.

Maybe there is more to our ability then what we have documented. They say that only about 10% of our brains are being used. Imagine if 100% of our brains where accessible. That's a lot of brain power left. Seeing this, makes flying or teleporting not so unbelievable. Think of the advancement of our brain as going in stages with age. Kind of like puberty. Okay lets say that our next advancement age was at age 200. The sad thing is that we/I will never know unless this planet or some scientist makes this planted more pure for us to be able to live longer. Maybe when humans can live hundreds of years again I'll know.

Oh... sorry for the weird blog..... I am pretty drunk while writing this. It is 3 in the friggin mornin and I'm still drinkin on a deucer.

Wa 2 Ca

Three Washingtonians and three Californians are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the Californians each buy their own ticket, while the Washingtonians buy a single ticket. One of the Californians sees this and asks one of the Washingtonians, "How are three people going to travel on just one ticket?"

"Watch and you'll see," answers the Washingtonians. They all board the train. The Californians take seats, but the Washingtonians all cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train leaves the station, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

The Californians see this and agree it's a clever idea, so they decide to copy the Washingtonians on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket. To their astonishment, the Washingtonians don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed Californian.

"Watch and you'll see," one of the Washingtonians replies. When they board the train, the three Californians cram into a restroom and the three Washingtonians cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Washingtonians leaves his restroom and walks over to the one where the Californians are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."

Lessons from Geese

Lessons from Geese

FACT 1:
As each goose flaps its wings it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follow. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.
LESSON:
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
FACT 2:
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it.
LESSON:
If we have as much sense as a goose we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others.
FACT 3:
When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into formation and another goose flies to the point position.
LESSON:
It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each other's skills, capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts, talents or resources.
FACT 4:
The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
LESSON:
We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is much greater. The power of encouragement (to stand by one's heart or core values and encourage the heart and core of others) is the quality of honking we seek.
FACT 5:
When a goose gets sick, wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.
LESSON:
If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.
