Aquarian Strength

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Somehow, I came across this article on StumbleUpon:

Hobbies That Could Make Money for Your Zodiac Sign
I am not a true believer in the zodiac stuff, but sometimes it’s a little scary how accurate it can be.

Aquarius

Aquarius Pictures, Images and PhotosThis visionary sign can do very well as a columnist, writer, or illustrator. This is because what they have to say is so unusual and seems to come from “left field.” Many are good at writing metaphysical material or science fiction. They also do well as online psychics or phone psychics. Quite a few Aquarians are inventors and many are able to parlay their creations into a lucrative part time job. They are also natural entrepreneurs so they do well in the virtual sales places of the internet. This sign also loves the photographic arts and can sell their photography or videos online. Along with their business savvy comes many creative talents as well. They are good at doing things such as designing their own websites and building a virtual empire. They can also easily parlay these talents into a career at designing sites or web businesses for others for others. They are also natural cinematographers and editors and some Aquarians are very good at scoring music for videos and movies as well. They do better than most signs at being freelancers because they can handle the stress of waiting to be assigned or paid.

27 Years 27 Truths

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

This is just a silly compilation of 27 of my favorite quotes. Just because. I am another year older, and none the wiser. ;)

  1. Most people care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
  2. Real friends are people who know everything about you, but they love you anyway.
  3. Love is nuts. ♥
  4. Chances are, if you ever go online to check your email and it says “no new messages”, it will tell you the same thing even if you click on “check mail” again.
  5. 80% of all questions are statements in disguise
  6. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you have. The energy you share at the moment you engage another person (or dog or cat, whatever) in conversation is the same energy that will be reciprocated back to you. So, try to keep it positive.
  7. Confidence is sexy, over-confidence is scary.
  8. Fear will keep you from reaching your potential. If you let it.
  9. You can’t win em all, or you’d never learn anything.
  10. To be highly successful is to think differently and do it better than anyone else.
  11. You won’t “get back to it”, so take care of it as soon as it comes. (Yeah, I’m still totally working on that one.)
  12. Don’t forget where you came from, and don’t deny it.
  13. When you find yourself on a plateau, don’t just think you need to get off of it as quickly as possible. You may end up loosing ground instead of just taking one step at a time toward your goal.
  14. There is no one in the world who can take your place in this life and fit.
  15. Knowledge is power only if you can exchange it, interpret it, and keep it organized so that you can get to it as soon as you need it. 
  16. Privacy is a myth.
  17. Glitter is the herpes of arts and crafts. . . you’ll never get it off of your clothes, furniture, whatever. hehehe
  18. Parenthood is the most thankless and difficult job you can imagine.
  19. Parenthood is the most educational and fulfilling job you can imagine.
  20. Living or at least bringing yourself into the present moment feels good.
  21. Checklists are only useful if you plan to check every single item off.
  22. When you tell the truth, you never have to remember what you said.
  23. Life does not provide you with an “undo” or a “back” button.
  24. Consistency and persistency make things happen.
  25. Gratitude makes you happy.
  26. “Less” is the new “more”.
  27. And time, it really does fly when you’re having fun, or when you’re not. So, enjoy. :)

Social Complex

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

For too long, ill utilized technology and social complexity have been working for and against each other that we are hardly the advanced civilization that we could be. I am searching for the solution.
I am not antisocial, but I am kind of a geek. :) I follow my passions (as extensive as they are) and I do wear my heart on my sleeve, but I have had such a fulfilling life that I see no point in changing that now.

Perspective

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

People are born to be judgmental. . .

We all have a point of view, therefore we judge the world according to what we see.

Some are more “out loud” about it than others.

The backward thinkers are those who believe that their point of view

is the right point of view. This blog will never change the way a backward thinker thinks.

But, my whole life I have loved to take the side of what you might call the “devil’s advocate“.

Not to glamorize the devil or anything, but just to show that we are all different for a reason.

I am not going to pretend for a minute that any post I publish should be agreed with

or  is in any way based on straight facts. In fact, the opposite it true.

These are stories about situations in my life, they are based on my opinions and the way I see things.

If you like what I write, then let me know. If not, you are entitled to your opinion. :)

After all, what would this international network thing (aka the Internet) be good for,

if we didn’t learn from each other?

Beautiful Life

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

It was Frank Lloyd Write who said,”The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes. . .”

It’s all about looking back, and making some sort of sense out of the experiences of my life.

This used to be the “about page” quote on my old blog hindsightblind.wordpress.com. Posted on 4/25/09. It didn’t really fit anywhere, but that’s the point of having a blog isn’t it? Not everything fits nicely in a category.

Our Friend the Internet

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

This is an odd thought I had one day. So, I’m posting it. The internet has all the traits of a good friend. She listens to anything you have to say. She won’t interrupt you or judge you the way people do. She will be there the next time you take the time to show up and visit her again. She could be seen as all knowing and all accepting.

However, there are some things that you should know before she becomes the friend you “can tell anything to”.

  • Number 1 – She may listen to your secrets, but she has no choice but to share them.
  • Number 2 – She won’t interrupt you, so keep track of the time you spend with her.
  • Number 3 – She doesn’t know how to judge, but she has many many friends that do.
  • Number 4 – At 2am you may be vulnerable and to say things or read things out of context.
  • Number 5 – She knows a lot of great stuff, but you need to learn how to ask for it.

Told you it was odd. . . I may build on this later.

Would anyone read your biography?

Friday, November 7th, 2008
The web log must be the modern answer to this question. Bloggers of every background have typed for countless hours recording the most profound truths and elaborate lies ever to be made internationally available by our world wide tangled web. Behind the mask of our computer screens we can disclose as much or as little as we measure necessary to connect with the reader. It could be said that this safety of anonymity provides the author a “safe haven” to be more honest and open about matters that define very purpose. This is a liberty not otherwise granted in our tangible social lives due to fear of face to face confrontation and judgment. As long as we can abide by the e-laws of discretion and be careful not to abuse the power that our precious internet gives us, we can be anyone online.
We could even be. . .
*gulp*
our real selves.
