The Voices in My Head

2010-05-27T08:50:00.001-07:00

Although there are many voices swimming through my head from one moment to the next, possibly the most prevalent are those of Sir Ken Robinson, Benjamin Zander and Jesus Christ. They are influential not only in their words but also in their works.

Sir Ken Robinson is a renowned speaker on innovation, human resources, and creativity.

Robinson is the kind of speaker that gives you hope for a better system of education and the realization of creative potential. In Robinson’s talk, Schools Kill Creativity, Robinson makes the observation that, “If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.” In math and science there is a definite answer to the question or problem that is before you. However the arts and music departments vary in what is believe to be the right answer; there is more flexibility and push to design and create. He further states that by putting such an emphasis on the math and sciences, we lose our internal creativity. We are afraid to think outside the box and create something that could potentially be against the norms because it could be conceived as wrong and incorrect. He is constantly popping up in my head reminding me to constantly be striving for more and not fear the potential “wrong answer”.

Benjamin Zander, a conductor and speaker on leadership, is a music ambassador. Zander proves how music is accessible to everybody, even classical music. He shows how music is instinctual to the ear and mind. Zander is able to convey how passion and determination can open your mind and show the best of yourself. He does all this through music, the international language. Zander is a constant reminder to me, that if you put your mind to it and truly believe anything is tangible.

Jesus Christ, a well-known individual, is an inspiration to me. I do believe that he is God and did resurrect. Even if a person believes, that is not God’s son or that he did not rise from the grave, his teachings are worth taking to heart. He is shows how just the simplest acts can change a persons life for the better or worse. He reminds me to be mindful of my actions and conscience of how they can affect others. He empowers me to be a better person for God and myself.

With these voices whispering in my ear, I believe that I can be a better person and perhaps inspire others to do the same. I can convey the concepts of humanity, creativity, and music. I constantly refer to these people for guidance and insight. I believe that these people are the perfect Jiminy Crickets.

Just to be able to come in get a latte then sit and relax, that's peace and joy on earth.

Makes you wonder....

I have always had this fascinatation with the origin of ideas. What sparks the inspiration to attempt something new or define the "impossible".
For instance this photo, was the guy sitting there watching everybody else board and thought to himself, "Why are we confined in this world to only using one board? Isn't an insult to all the other boards out there wanting to be ridden? Lo, I shalt go an ride as many boards as I can sequentially. From here on out I will not be limited"

And thus he went out into the world and rode.

I love this photo and thought it was worth sharing! The forethought that went into this shot! The way the hair hits the light and make it appear as a mohawk. I just really like all aspects of this photo

I love this sort of sneaky photography. It is one of the main reasons I bought the Nikon D5000. With its Vari-angle color LCD monitor as Nikon puts it, or the swivel display for the layman. I feel like an ultraspy being able to take these types of photos without their knowledge. The camera enable me to capture that "candid" photo without somone getting camera shy or looking directly into the camera. Great stuff!

Alternative Titling

2009-08-23T17:25:00.000-07:00

I truly enjoy author who give their works alternative or dual titles. They don't confine their work to a single perpective, but rather let their reader choose for themselves. This style of titling could also arise from author's indecision which could easily originate from a writers continual selfdoubt and fear of rejectment.

William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Or What You Will and Henry David Thoreau's Walden; or, Life in the Woods are two examples of such namings. Let men know if you know more!

I wish I could show this photo directly, but follow this link:

The title is Spilt Personality which lends a lot to this topic!

This is to the right of the chair pile. I was just so amazed that they would have all this set up in a town with a fluctuating population of ten. A town with a small cafe with just enough hamburger meat for one person, a waitress who doesn't even work there, and a server with a broken foot using an office chair her means of transportaion.

Found in the lot next to the Drewsey Cafe in Drewsey, OR.
This lot fenced in area seemed prime for a party if some sort, but didn't look like it had been used in a while. All dressed up with no one to show.

I am conscious of my soul being tugged,

my spirit yearning to be captured away by some distant energy.

Just as the sun rises amid the misty hilltops,

with the town unraveling from slumber.

The alluring scent of freshly brewed coffee

wafting through the crispness of the morning air.

I long just as the times of the past

so desperately trying to regain a foothold in days present.

Like the ancient people with their attempts at being remembered,

but with the realization that just as the shadows of the sundial

so will too shall the people fade.

The realization coming with not a sense of sorrow or regret,

but as promising as an eminent thunderstorm.

The draw lures not as a spirit tempting towards the flood

or to the dreadful summit of a dark cliff,

but as a sweet hope for the morrow.

The age of inspiration,

of understanding and realizations

of cherishing everything and forgetting nothing,

of caring and motivating

of love

of life.
