Christmas Eve

A family is wrapped around the tree. Stockings are hung with care. The smell of cakes, pies and treats is in the air. Laughter fills the room as stories of yesteryear are passed around with the many trays of well prepared hot food, with wine drank in good cheer. Bread is broken among family and friends, with well-wishing for the new year. With the meal done, the gift giving had begun. All were happy with their gifts from warm socks for cold winter nights to desk lamp lights for late homework nights, everyone got what they needed. They all turned in for the big day of family, friends and warm feelings this season sends.

I Am Here To Do Great Things

I am here to do great things 

Why you may ask?

Because the world needs me to

Things need to be better

I won't do them for me

I will do for you, because you need me to

You need more opportunity to succeed

You need to believe in you more

Because of me you can and you will

I will bring the power of possibility

I will erase all doubt in the power

Of diversity, like the wrong answer to a Math problem

Why do I care so much you ask yourself?

I care so much because I believe in the true potential

Of the human mind and the human body

We are not fulfilling our true potential and I want

To change that fact within our lifetimes

The limits of class and wealth are unnecessary controls

Why hold back the progress of the many so

The few can continue to succeed?

Even to the few this shouldn't make sense if your really think it over

Over time, if you allow more people the opportunity to succeed

You allow for more potential for variants and more

Potential for change to occur faster and faster over time

To begin to allow greater change and possibility we need

 To make colleges and universities free 

We need to be more responsible with the technology we have

 So we need be more ready for the technology that is about to evolve

The time is now, to make a difference in the lives of everyone

We need to stop being blinded to the power that we hold

Within us, the power we can use to make our world better

Stop doubting yourself, you can and will be better

Becoming More

I am exceeding all expectations

I am there already

I am at my goal

I live in the dream house

I live on the island with the

Dream wife, dream kids

I easily pay all my bills

I go on vacations others dream of

I am a professional writer

I am the HR Manager in a design business

I work to live, I don't live to work

LIfe is more complex and yet simpler

I am like an oak seedling that starts out

So, so small and yet grows 

To such, such great heights

Great things are right around the corner

You simply have to see them there

Believe they're there and you'll see

You can and will do great things

You owe to yourself and the world around you

There are walls to stop those not dedicated enough

You have the answer that others don't

You have the sledge hammer to destroy these walls

You have the key that will open any and all doors

Time management is the key, belief is the key

Balance is the key, faith is the key

Foresight is the key, hindsight might be 20/20

But my foresight is 30/30

Time is not your enemy, location is not your enemy

Job choice is not your enemy, age is not your enemy

True success is achieved by those who saw

That to really succeed is win over yourself

Random Thoughts-Part 2

Some people are afraid of people who are unsure. I like them, because that means they are still learning. They are still looking to find something new. LIfe still has mysteries left unfounded. There are rocks to look under 

and more people to talk to. 

I am afraid of the people who are overly sure. People who seem to think they have it all figured out. That life is just soo easy. That life can be contorted to fit a well planned map. Go to school, get good grades, play sports, go to college, get a good job, get married, have kids, retire, die. Thank you, but no. Granted I have and will do most of those things, but I would like to have fun somewhere along the way. LIfe is not about the destination it is about the journey and I don't know about you, but I'm having fun. Want to come along for the ride?………Thank you

Random Thoughts-Part 1

I have traveled the ages in bewilderment. Often contemplating what got me here and how I got there. Time seems to move faster somehow and yet my decisions seem to have gotten significantly smarter…thankfully! Time does not seem to be linear. The past remerges in positive ways, with music movies and ahh the glorious toys of yesteryear. Jobs pay the bills, but do they pay the soul? Life is a conundrum, wrapped in an enigma, covered in shiny paper with a puzzle pattern. Too many people are too busy playing the board game of LIFE and watching the lives of others. This is our one life, we should live it!!……Thank you

Through Eyes Unclouded

I see beyond what they tell us

I see beyond what you reveal

I see beyond the fog hailed as truth

I see beyond the now to tomorrow

With hindsight being 20/20 I look back happily

For this here and now is where I want to be

I am in a position to do great things and

So are you if you follow my lead

I see far beyond the small minded simpletons

Who walk around saying we can't change

Or this is what's expected of me…?

Why should I do anything different…?

You should be and think different for that

Results in things getting better and developing

If the world were all sheep nothing good would

Ever happen and no one would have fun

We would all tie our ties and

Lace our neat little shiny shoes

And crawl to our station wagons

Dying a little more each day

I do see myself as a family man

But not one living a mundane life

Driving to a mundane job that blows

Essentially I love travel, 2 years PA, then I'm out!

Word Press

Does anyone know how to use Word Press?

Time is the Only Real Currency-2

If you really think about it

Everything else is all relative

Paper bills are really only paper

Gold is really just a rock

So if you think about it further

There are 60 seconds in a minute

60 minutes in an hour

Twenty-four hours a day

Seven days in a week

Four weeks in a month

12 months in a year

365 days a year…

The average person works 

8 hours a day with 2 fifteen minute breaks

And one Half an hour lunch

Which amounts to 7.5 hours of break each week

Now the average person has Saturday and Sunday (or 2 days off per week)

And the average person sleeps approximately 8 hours

The average person also commutes an hour or less each way to work

So about 10 hours each day is set aside for work

So for each day of work this person should have about 6 hours

Of free time each and everyday

Which amounts to about 30 hours of free time Monday-Friday

Every single week of the year

Now to make things even more interesting we factor in the weekend

Our model person is off on weekends, no work and no commute

So…this person has 32 free hours every Saturday and Sunday free

Running the numbers this person has 62 hours of free time every week

To dive even further lets think about this in terms of years

In one year one could have 3,224 hours of free time

So that's 16,120 hours of free time in 5 years

Now over a lifetime of approximately 77 years, that's 248,248 hours of free time

This may all seem ridiculous to some, the only really ridiculous thing

Is how some spend the only real currency!

Time is the Only Real Currency-1

Time is The Only Real Currency

The old are jealous of the young because they have it. Hollywood loves the young because of this inherent jealousy and want. Oddly enough the young want to be like the old because of their knowledge and accomplishments. Then there is the middle-aged, who in reality should have it all. I believe they may face the most confusion, since they don't really like the young and fear 

being old and want to stay young.

AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU NEED TO SPEND TIME:

WITH THOSE YOU LOVE

DOING WHAT YOU LOVE MOST

GOING PLACES YOU LOVE MOST

THINKING ABOUT HOW TO DO THESE THREE MORE

Reflections-Part1

You look over the days of your life and you wonder a lot of different things. Everyone wants to get to their dreams, but the path there is sometimes unclear. Sometimes it needs to be reinvented or redefined or maybe you haven't found the right person to get you there just yet. Or maybe you have and you just didn't know it.

She may be right in front of your nose.

You may be on the very path you were meant to travel and you are following it, but are afraid because others don't see the path with you. A dream is never too complicated or impossible to achieve. The only real obstacle is the power of your imagination and your ability to tap into the infinite. You have to become as positive as possible. WITH LOVE AND SUPPORT ALL THINGS CAN HAPPEN!!

Be The Change You Want

Find a way to do 

Don't find a reason why you can't

You can and you will  achieve

Your goals you set forth

You are the greatest idea

Your mind has the potential

To create better things and ideas

Then have ever been dreamed of before

Tap the source of infinite intelligence

You only need to believe that it is possible

And have a sustained belief in this idea

Continuing to work at each day

Adding ideas and contacting new resources

Conceiving the idea in a a new way week by week

It will grow greater then Methuselah in California

Or taller then Mount Everest in Nepal

Now is a time for change and

You need to be the change

You want to see in the world

Become what you want to see in others

Doubt is the pesticide of good ideas

You are on the new cusp of a wave  

That will wash away the negativity of yesteryear

And foster a better world of tomorrow

You can create the next wheel

You will create the next printing press

Or the next car, plane or Google

You can create interstellar travel

Start your belief system on the full capability

Of what you can really achieve, not simply

That it can be done, but how fast and how soon

It can be done, you can and will do great things!

God is the solution to all problems

Our own and other's expectations

We are alive on this planet the 

Source is a part of us

We can and will do far greater

Things then we have currently believed

Possible up to this point in our very existence

Things will change and soon

With A Clear Mind

With a clear head 

I move forward 

Onward and upward

Toward all of my goals

Life has give me means

To take off stress like

Just another heavy coat

A cloak of distress if you will

There are many keys to this

Quantifiable conundrum

One must find balance by

Using different ones on occasion

To achieve this sense of clearheadedness

One must be driven at achieving stress relief

First and foremost and the routes to this goal

Will make themselves available

A Salty Day at Sea-Part 6(Part-1 is in April)

We had been out on sail for a little over a month. We were due to hit Columbus' islands soon. I was very anxious to see all the great things I hadheard to be found all around.

From beautiful native women all over, to more gold then one could ever carry.The thing I looked forward to most was the food. Our cook was very good…,but you are only as good as your resources and we were running low on bread.

The remainder of the bacon and sausage was reserved for the captain, his officers and his esteemed guest.

So having something other then eggs for breakfast, crackers and cheese for lunch and, chicken soup for dinner would be a very, very welcome change indeed.

The Brothers-Part 3

After the two days of testing. On Wednesday we had the first half of the day off, because the second part of the testing for that day had to be done at night. This test would take place in our dreams, while hooked up to a Positron Dream-o-meter. 

This device would measure our ability to positively direct our dreams so that we could achieve such a high level of control. Where even with the machine sending negative memories from our past we would be able to direct them in a positive way.

I began to prepare for the best by having friends and family come by the test area and tell me how proud they were of how I had done up to that point. Prior to taking the test I pulled out a picture of my girlfriend, smiled and knew that with her on my mind I could accomplish any task.

Out of the Frost It Came-Intro

We were walking along not thinking anything out of the ordinary 

would happen to us that day. 

In our group we had Mike. He was a 8-year old short, freckled, red haired kid from apartment 3-B, in the apartment building on the corner of our block. Nice enough kid, but he always had this runny nose everywhere he went. Then there was the Gawin twins, Cedric and Charlie. Bothe were 12-year olds, who lived in the big mansion down the street who were very spoiled and bigger then the other boys. So they sometimes bullied them and liked the nickname given them TnT Twins. 

Eddie, the smallest and nerdiest kid in our crew was often the butt of their bullying and pranks. He was also the youngest of us at 7. One day thankfully for Eddie that all changed. The twins up to their usual pranks were throwing rocks at a fenced in neighbor's yard, with two large rottweilers in it. Picking up his fifth rock, Charlie lobbed and noticed to his horror that he had thrown in great error. The rock he threw completely missed the dogs and hit open the turning latch that kept the dogs in the yard. Within seconds the dogs noticed the gate was open and began running after the boys.

Running as fast as their legs could carry them down the block, the two boys spotted Eddie out in front of his treehouse down the street and began yelling to him. He agreed to help them as long as they would no longer pick on him. They agreed and he lowered down a rope so they could climb up into his treehouse.

The Weather Inside is Fine

No matter the weather outside

The weather is fine inside

For it is the thoughts of your mind

And a hear that is truly kind

That matter far more than frostbite and how cold it is

Or troubling over sunburn and hot how hot it is

Snow is no bother to acentered body

Sleet is no bother to a balanced mind

Don't worry about that hurricane on the horizon

Or that tornado, turning towards you

Tsunami's are only tough, if we aren't

That earthquake eventually moves on

Your inner weather is most important

Keep it balanced at all costs and

You will live a long and happy life

And thankfully find a beautiful wife

The Brothers-Part 2

Thankfully the tests all went very well

For Test-1 (Thought Projection) I had to envision a meadow

While my brain was hooked up to a thought projector

People around me said and thought negative things

The projection never faltered 

As a matter of fact the more negative it got

The brighter the projection got with flowers

Blooming for every word and a dove for every sentence

Now the second test was much harder

For Test-2 (Mournful Melodies) I had to listen to really negative Country music

Followed by Alternative, Emo and other acts

While having to say how positive I was in different ways

This one was really hard, for after I had said how positive

I was in a 1,000 different ways I had to write an essay

On how these songs could make others more positive

And list 10 similar songs to do so

Inspiration Nation-Part 1

Good morning and thank you for listening to WABE. My name is Mr Motivation

and I am here to get you up and moving. Welcome everyone to this week's Inspiration Nation. Ok Sue, I'll take Caller 1. Hello caller, what can we do to get your creatives juices flowing this morning?

Well Mr Motivation I just feel tired often and I feel like a old sponge, I'm worried where I will get my next great idea? Well caller, we're going to take a quick break and I will have a great answer for just such a problem.

Knowledge

Is not truly power

It is stored energy waiting for

The right mind to stumble onto it

To unleash it's full potential

Knowledge can get you there

If you look hard enough

You may even bring the rest

Of your family and friends with you

Knowledge can be found in many places

In the experiences you go through

In the books you read and in the

Advice you get from others

However you get it the really important thing

Is to use it as often as possible and to

Use it in different ways as often as possible

Keep using it until you find the right use

Persistence of Thought

Forward thought and forward movement must

Be continuously achieved through thought and deed

Everyday you must work towards your goal

Break it into little pieces to accomplish each day

Surround yourself with those who will tell you why you can

Stay away from anyone and everyone who say you can't

A consistently positive influence is what we all need

Especially those of us who want to give back

We have all been given great gifts

But so few of us use them to their true potential

It is important to become involved in the world

At a great level rather then simply accept

The way things are and have been going

Everyone knows great change is possible

We simply have to gather those around us

That will encourage us to do more then

We have ever done or thought possible

We need to gather like minded individuals

Who believe we can achieve our dreams

And continuously help us achieve them

Having people around us all the time who will tell us

Why we can't all the time because it's too hard or

I wasn't able to do it, so why can you 

These people are negativity vampires who

Will feed off you and cause you to deteriorate

Stay completely away from them at all costs

If they are family members limit yourself to

How often you are around them

You can, you will and you have

Done great things and will continue

To do them as long as you maintain the

Right beliefs, friends and influences

Apple-dedicated to the life of Steve Jobs

You dreamed bigger then others could

You saw further then others dared

You were savvy and smart 

Where others were afraid to start

You had a clarity of vision unparalleled

Of a future that others only saw obscured

We owe many great things to you and

These are but a few you've planned

Your music is not only at home or in your hand

It's on your phone, on your Mac, in your car

You can take your very library farther then far

It's on your desk or tanning with you in the sand

Your computer is no longer an ugly box

We now think outside it, and left it smarter then any fox

Form follows function like any designer should know

Now it can and will and follow us on the go

Dream Sequence-1

As my eyes closed I drifted off to sleep and the thoughts of the day faded to mist. The cloudiness subsided after about half an hour or so and I found myself in a basement with 6 doors all labeled with strange symbols.

I didn't recognize any of them, but knew the answer to be somewhere in the room. How I knew it was here, I couldn't really say. Like in the waking world I sometimes just had a gut instinct about things that usually was spot on.

The basement was filled with unusual objects. Specimen jars, cages full of animals I had seen before and others that could only exist in my dream. Some of the objects I had seen on the History Channel from ancient times, while others I couldn't have placed. After passing several shelves full of all these objects, there were several more shelves filled with clearly ancient books.

The more I looked about the basement I noticed that it didn't have the typical musty smell of a basement. It actually seemed very well ventilated, but not by any type of automated system. When I began to look around more I noticed the lighting was different as well. There were crystals glowing and emitting a very soft yellow pleasing light to the eye. I feel like I have been here before, but the layout was different somehow. Perhaps this room could be altered…

Riddle Number#23-I've walked everywhere

I've walked here, there, 

Everywhere and nowhere

Near and sometimes far

In sports I am the real star

I'm the fastest thing ever seen

Or the slowest there's ever been

I can even be somewhere in between

The lazy have forgotten where I've been

I'm most comfortable when I am old

Just be careful I don't collect mold

I'm the beginning of your good health

I'll help you lose weight with stealth

I am the picture of grace and style

I'll help you maintain a stress free smile

I am the spring in your step

I help the old keep their pep

A Prolific Voyage

Life is like a ship on a course

Your mind and heart leading the way

Like a naval Captain and XO

In the many navies of today

The crew of the ship is made up of

Close family, friends and coworkers

Cousins, aunts, uncles as well as

Acquaintances and eventually wives

Thankfully as you'll notice in this list

Most of the people you take for the ride

Are yours for the picking and choosing

Which is immeasurably helpful in many ways

Ideally you want to put together a dream team

To run this ship of yours in the right direction

You can't just have any bunch of random people

They need to be carefully chosen to set the course

Unlike an actual ship your course is not set 

When your ship first leaves the dock or port

And sets sail for new adventure on the high seas

Where life will encounter smooth as well as rough waters

This is why having the right crew is so important

They can help find the right direction for you

Through solid advice, teaching and setting a good example

Set from the lives they've lived or the mistakes they've made

You need to always have someone in the Crow's Nest

Keeping an eye out for danger and opportunity on the horizon

This could be anyone I've mentioned so far or even someone new

This is a role you should seek in a wife and so a wife should seek in you

Now with all that being said don't forget to care for your ship

You'll need to put new sails, lumber, paint and other upgrades occasionally

Analogies, metaphors and synonyms aside this means

Don't forget to eat well, go to the gym, get enough sleep and wear sunscreen

Adapt and Overcome

See the obstacles before you as ways to grow

View them as ways to improve on an

Already excellent creation and 

Wind up a better person from it

They are possible to achieve in all ways

You can and you will do them very well

For you have the ability to visualize success

As well as the skills and knowledge necessary

Keep pushing, keep driving, keep moving forward

You can, you will, you have and you are going to

Achieve all the great things set before you

For you my friend are meant for greatness

Set your mind on the course for adventure

For that is what is set in your store for your life

You will get humanity a better pair of glasses

To see the world and all it's potential it has for all

Calmness of Mind & Spirit

You can achieve great things

You will achieve great things

All will be well with inner peace

And clarity of mind & spirit

Acid thoughts can be quashed

With peaceful dreams and ideas

And being around positivity as much as possible

Find as many ways to be positive as possible

Drink positive punch

Breath positive air

See positive things

Put on a positive clothes

You will do great things no matter what

You are the best at what you do

Believe you can through act and deed

And so you shall and will be great

Imagination-1

Life can be truly amazing

If you simply think about it

Taking the time to think about 

All we have and wall we could have

By using what we have in new and

Often times amazing ways we can

Achieve great things if we simply

Believe we can and set our minds to it

Too many people sell themselves short

Because someone said they couldn't

Or shouldn't or wouldn't be able to do it

They say this because they gave up at some point

These are people who once had a glimmer in their eye

They once had the spark to excel and do great things

The key for them is to get them back on board the ship of success

They can be our most positive supporters if we help them along

Riddle Number#22-Life on the “rocks”

I'm your friend on a happy occasion

I'm a shoulder to cry on a sad one

I'm a mix of psychiatrist, friend, advisor

Comedian, waiter, bareback and designated driver

I can give it to straight or

I can give it to you up

On the rocks or shaken

The truth is served in many ways

I can be very Cosmpolitan

And sophisticated or

I can be very rash with an

Orgasm, BJ or Sex on the Beach

I am the relaxing end of your day, week or month

I am your confidant and mixologist

You will learn my name time after time

I remember yours, for you are my responsibility

The Brothers-Part 1

I am the oldest of the four

I will be the omnipotent voice 

Of this journey you are now on

And I am happy to have you aboard

In our land of Imagineville at the age of 12

Every boy and girl is tested to determine

What job they will be trained in and later

Do for the remainder of their life

From when I was born I had a great imagination

So everyone hopped I would become a High Thinker

I shared this hope with everyone else

For I was already thinking up ways to defeat Doubtington

The day of my C.R.E.A.T.I.V.E.

Or Cumulative, Reflex, Evaluation With Actual 

Tactics In Values Expansion

Which probably sounds hard, because it was

The Brothers-Intro

There were four of us in total

Each of us with our land and talent

We were masters of our domains

Kings of our castles and men of fame

We all started out in the same home

It was a humble little burg of Imagineville

Where all that one could imagine 

Could and would soon be possible

Our parents were some of best in the land 

At what they did for a living in the king's castle

They were two of the High Thinkers

A job given to those with the best imaginations

In our land we battled the evil kingdom of Doubtington

In that land they would launch reasons at us daily

As to why our ideas simply couldn't work

Thankfully our parents always knew reasons why they could

Let the Puzzle Pieces Fall Into Place

All the key pieces are out there

You simply have to believe they are there

By believing they are there you will seek them

Seeking them is a key piece in itself

They are the ones that will elevate you

They are the ones that will get you there

Help you achieve all of your many goals

And allow you to help others on the way

Gut instinct and valued friends will guide your path

These friends can be in themselves valued pieces

In this grand puzzle that we all live in

Over time helping us reveal hidden treasures within ourselves

The most important piece of the puzzle is to keep pushing

To keep trying new ideas and new routines everyday

To not be fazed by small, insignificant snags in the road

We can achieve only what we can believe

Riddle Number#21-A Salty Solution

I am as clear as the richest of crystal goblets

Or darker then the darkest of stormy nights

You will find me as gentle and soft as a newborn baby

Or as violent and angry as Spartan warriors of old

My reach extends to all the corners of the earth

Supporting life yet discovered by modern man

There is more known about the dust on the moon

Then parts of my vast expansiveness

Songs are sung by man and and beast while

Traveling over me or within my great expanses

Tales are told of many a beautiful maid

Where men's imaginations mainly wade

I am home to some of the most beautiful shades of

Yellow, orange, green, pink, purple and blue

And colors yet to be given a name by science or artist

I may be salty and savage, but I am also savvy and slick

Toughing It Out

When the going gets tough

The tough get going

A motto I need to think of

A lot more often

For at the end of the day

A lot of complaining doesn't get it done

A lot of handwork, perseverance and dedication

On the other had definitely do

The key is to focus on the goal

Or the light at the end of the tunnel

In fact it would better to create mini goals

Ones that will keep the ball rolling

With mini goals leading up to a big one 

There are multiple lights and

Quite often much shorter tunnels

And more reasons to celebrate

Make a game of it if you will

Perhaps have the same goals as someone else

And have a reward for both of you getting there

But make it slightly bigger for who gets there first

By seeing different types o goals

As well as different size ones

We can mix things up and keep it interesting

For ourselves  as well as family and friends

We have to remember life is

About the journey to get there

Not the destination for

The journey is the fun part

So no matter how tough it gets

Don't complain or argue

For no invention was created or war won

By a bunch of complainers or time wasters

Riddle Number#20-A Little Help From the Sandman

It is something we want after every arduous deed

And it seems so few of us get what we really need

I will never ever come in a Starbuck's coffee cup

But with the right amount I will always wake you up

I come in many amounts and live by many names

I live in every language and am spoken by every tongue

I am great in the beginning, middle or end of the day

I am by far the best thing for you in every single way

Our time together can be brief or long

Shorter or longer then every single song

You are the master of your world of waking

In mine, I am king of every snoring thing

Yours is the world of tangible things

Mine is the world of dreams where 

I only know what everyday brings

Mine is the world we only share

The Day They Came-Part 1

They day that it happened I will never forget

It was a hot summer July evening

We were all reclining outside our cars

Radios tuned up as we watched the movie at Becky's

An emergency broadcast blared across all of the radios

Cell phones instantly went haywire and burst into flames

The voice on the multiple car radios gradually faded

And was replaced with screams and background carnage

Panicked we all packed all our chairs, snacks and beers quickly

As I reached to turn the key it would not start and neither would anyone else's

One by one starting from the front row of the drive-in cars exploded

We burst out of ours and ran as fast as we could to the nearby woodline

Wondering what we would do and where we would go, we waited

As others ran from this horrifying chain of explosive events

We decided to see if our families were ok and then we would

Find a place to hide out, until we could find enough survivors
