Summer is here

Before the punishing heat hits I got a few pictures of some flowers in moms yard. For some reason I like to take pictures of flowers. I want to say for the record "I am not gay" (not that there's anything wrong with that) I like to shoot pictures of flowers and I shoot AR-15 semi automatic rifles too so here are a couple of okay ones. That's my thought of the day.

Deer in the headlights

I have said this before but people just are not right. A lot of people just seem like they have a mild case of autism. (not making fun of that affliction) They have a "deer in the headlights" look. I'm sure they are all just having bad days. We all have days that we walk around with a blank look in our eyes. Or do we? Maybe they didn't get enough sleep. Early to bed, early to rise. That's my thought of the day.

Dual monitors

I was forced to start using two monitors at work. It was about 18 months ago. They thought we would be "more productive". Turns out they were right. I love it and would never go back. If you have room....get a cheap monitor about the same size you have now and hook it up. It's easy and you'll love it.

Time - Gravity - Space

Have you ever thought..."this is the "modern" age. We know almost everything about the universe in which we live" I have....when I was younger. I thought this was a time where scientists knew almost everything and would surely know everything in my lifetime. However the more you look around you and look into space, the more you realize we know almost nothing. Most deep. important things taught today in schools are hypotheses. Even plate tectonics...let alone the nature of gravity, time, space and the relationship between them. This is a big deal. If we learn the truth of this relationship it would be the biggest discovery ever in history.

Anyway, I just get thinking about this stuff on Sundays when my brain is not full of useless crap from the day to day horse shit that fills our lives. If more people thought about it, maybe we would figure it out. Think about it.

I happen to believe mankind knows more than we think possibly from reverse-engineering alien spacecraft and has probably explored our solar system and has advanced knowledge about space, time and gravity. I believe they (whoever they are) are suppressing the knowledge for reasons unknown.

This is my boring (for most of you) thought of the day #2.

Windows 7

I have been using Windows 7 for a few months now. I have switched a couple of friends over to it. Microsoft is letting us use it free for a year. I found a little 5 minute video that shows some of the changes you will see. There are a lot more changes but these are some of the ones you will notice first. (plus I am practicing putting videos in my blog)

So watch this little video if you want. It's pretty good if you want to know about the user interface changes you will find on your next computer. Anything you buy after about October of 2009 will probably come with Windows 7

How much of your life is on line?

I came across this little video and there is some truth to it. You never know what's going to happen and the last thing I want is to be a burden on my family if I got into a car accident or had a stroke. There are people thinking of this stuff.

Bank accounts , e-mail, Flickr, operating system are all examples of things you would want someone to have access upon your demise. It's interesting to think about it anyway.

Mom....don't say "you're freaking me out" I already know. Also HAPPY MOMS DAY!!!!

How do blind people dream?

I have never though about how a blind person might dream. Think about that. If you were born blind, would you "see" anything in your dreams. If you became blind during your life sometime I would imagine you would "see" in your dreams but how about the person who has been blind all their life? I am sure there is research about this but what an interesting question to contemplate. That's my thought of the day.

More about dreams. Have you ever heard this?

I have strange dreams as do most people. The range of subjects in dreams is astounding. I have had one 3 times now in which I see nothing. I wonder if I am dreaming because it "feels" like I am just lying there about to fall asleep or just waking up.

This dream is all audio. We would call it music I suppose but there are no words for this "sound". The closest sound I can come up with is a few thousand people (or beings) making unbelievable sounds that are all in harmony and make the most beautiful sound I have ever heard by far. It sounds like voices but not normal by any means.

I have thought that maybe I am hearing music from a radio station and somehow my mind is picking it up. This is not an option as this "music" is not like anything I have ever heard. Like a choir times a million.....I have also had "angels"(I know it's strange) pop into my mind.....has anybody heard this? I have had many strange experiences while sleeping and have learned that I am often not the only one having them. This is among the strangest. It just happened again about 3-4 days ago.

Leave a reply if you have heard anything like this, know what it is, or heard others talk about it. I have searched the internet and can't find anything. That's my though of the day.
