why is it so hard for mankind to realize that everything we do as individuals, effects us all as a society?

I spent the last 4 Days at a LifeStream conference. I have done manythings in my life to improve myself. some good, some bad. But this has got to be the most influential awakening that I have ever had so far. I have realized potential that I never thought possible. I have met the most wonderful people and will charish the friendships I have made. Sorry this is short but thats all I have to say..

The family dynamic

So i have realize that everyones own family dynamic is so far different than another's. i have come to the conclusion that everyones is sooo different. Some talk to each other every day or every other day. Mine is however more  like every other week or month. I think it is more like every other month. I think it starts with your parents. Tonight I seemed to talk to a lot of my family. Maybe it' cuz I miss my " family niche", or maybe it's cuz a close "freind, co-worker lost a family member", or maybe it's cuz i have a family member that isn't doing great. Anyway I am ultimatly glad I have thoes who I can relate to even if it is from crazy curcumstances. I guess this blog is more from the need to connect and I am glad I can atleast do that... Love your family cuz one day they won't be there!! thanks for listening!

Facebook is for Stalkers!!

So I have decided Facebook, aside from its wonderous ways of keeping friends, work/ friends, and aquaintences in touch with each other, It is also for stalkers... I seem to be bombarded with 50 million questions by it in order to keep my personal information... well .... personal..  If you dont want the whole world looking at all your stuff than you will do as I do by keeping it ony veiwable by your friends. Although, now that i have said that...... I have been known to paruze my freinds friends and so on, when I have been bored. This whole thing started after I had looked at someones pictures who I know and see through work on occasion. I saw her yesterday and , with out thinking, mentioned that I didnt know that she was involved in a particular sport. Well then the obvious question was asked... "How did you know" I then was posed with a delema.. should I make something up and hope I could pull it off or tell that I had looked at her pics on FB. Well I did the honest thing and said well...... I uh... saw ur pics on FB... I then got the perverbial "Oh you were Facebook Stalking me? ... the good thing we both laughed.. but as I said in the beguinning it got me thinking.. How many people use this social media to stalk others? Every once and a while I get friend requests by people I dont know.. should I now think they may be trying to stalk me... or am I making a mountain out of a mole hill... BTW did I mention I hate doing dishes.. lol, have some in my sink at home and am not looking forward to doing them.. The Dinosaur BBQ has opened here in Troy. Its about time!! Now if we can only get a Wegmans too I will be all set!!!

So What next?

Well so If you couldent tell from my last post I tend to jump around alot with my thoughts. This has always been typical for me. Sometimes I even confuse myself. But alteast I keep myself entertained. So I would have to say looking back at my life, it has been quite a ride. Ha! as in my last post I am listening to Pandora, Mazzy Star's 'Fade into you" is on.. So anyway like i said it had been quite a full life even at only 35.... I have made many friends and aquaintences, found and lost God, Loved and been loved, Hated and Loved my life...expiremented with many things some good some bad, been a Marine, a Father, son, brother, yet through it all i think i have not really changed much, only grown..... So I have been thinking about what makes a Man... not just the fact that he has a falic instrument...or a deep voice, but the essence of men...Some may say it is their ability to take charge. lead, or organize... but i know many men who lack some or all of those qualities... So i ask again... What makes a man? But then again does it even matter? As long as you try to live up to your abilities, not your desires or faults.. Hell some days I feel like I could stay in bed all day.. but then I wouldnt be acomplishing my potential. As Confucius said:" In the practice of archery we have something resembling the pricipal in man's moral life. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns around and seeks for the cause of failure within himself." Well i suppose that is enough thinking for a while........ Till later - E

11-2-10 My first Blog

Well here it is! My first blogg. I have decided to write this so I can vent, rant, and whatever else comes to mind. I honestly don't care if i get readers. However, in most cases if I do Vent it will probably be vague so I dont get fired for saying something "wrong". Well this is the world wide web and people can and do get fired for putting info out there... Out there? Where? in this great big Abyss. A collective of computers, wires, infrastructure.... bla bla bla... ... So now I sit here staring at the cursor flashing in my face like some sort of computer critic... like Oh yeah? WTF are you going to say? ... well damn you cursor!.... I had Papa Johns last night... I havent had that in a long time.... Makes me wonder what ever happened to Little Ceaser's... I used to like the commercial where Ceaser would proudly proclaim "Pizza, Pizza" at the end. While writing this I found out they are still around............. So I have been hooked on Pandora .... I listen to it at work, on my phone in the car and at home when the TV is off...... I have always had an inherent desire to have a sound track to my life.. I find that it helps me remember certain times in my life. For instance I can hear a song and it reminds me of something that happened or I was going through when I heard that song before. So back to pandora... since I am constantly listening to music... i wondered when will we have wireless internet everywhere? Basicly I want to have a car radio that picks up internet radio... and the only way for that to be possible is a constant flow of wireless internet Everywhere! Like some Faucet of information that wont be shut off... OOOOOMMMMMMGGG!!!!! Ok so here I am typing away listening to my beloved Pandora and my current radio station is kinda Techno/Trance/Electronic..... well you get the picture... Anyway..... This cracks me up... Anyway! I just got Rick Rolled by Pandora.....LMAO..  Ok i guess that is my cue to wrap this up...
