Ages of Halloween

So last night a group of estimated 12 and 13 year olds came to the door and presented the traditional "Trick or Treat!!" They were in turn given some chocolate and a  "Aren't you a little old for trick or treating??" They replied "No!! Of course not!' I then pondered on the ages of Halloween. As a youngling its all about the costumes and the candy. As an adolescent it is about the socializing and the parties. As a middle aged adult its about giving candy to kids and drenching teenagers. As an elder its just about giving candy. So what does this mean??? That on November 1st people will have stomach aches, hangovers, sleep deprivation and 25$ less or more having run away from the wallet. Even though Halloween is not my favorite holiday, I still find it an amusing and fun day that I am appreciative for. -Happy Halloween!-

This {_} Equals {________} THIS!

So in swimming, thanks to my wonderful mentors and friends, I have found that a little bit of time shaved off in a race is BIG in swimming. The same principle is applicable to many other things in the world. Just one person protesting against something can snowball into a huge nation-wide scale protest. A little increase of money revenue can multiply to a large sum of cash. So remember, that if you feel that you and your accomplishments are minor and small, that this {_} really equals THIS {______}!!

In the teachings of the Public...

...School, there, as discovered are major parts or influencing factors left out of many history books. I just found out that, due to Christopher Columbus, roughly 1,000,000 Spaniards and Natives perished. Columbus brought the Reconquista to the New World and killed hundereds of thousands. That is like many other things many History Books leave out, like the fact that Genghis Khan is the reason for unity of trade in Europe and Asia, that Jimmy Carter sold the Panama Canal and that Christianity is the foundation of Laws and Morals in the USA. No wonder so many other nations have by far exceeded our youth in intellectual expectations. We gotta do something about the education in America.

What!? Already!!!??

So I have breached 110 hits to my blog (not counting myself) from people in TWO different countries and Ive been blogging for One Week! This is much better than I expected to get. Thanks for supporting me and please continue to do so! ^_^

Shortbread Cookie Special!!

The best 4 words in advertising are "Going out of Business." Yet unfortunately we've been seeing that a lot lately. To fix this I propose the following things to fix the economy:

1. We need to make it cheaper to do business. There needs to be less restrictions and hurdles to make trade occur.

2. Patience: If we keep trying to "fix" the economy it will only get worse as we have seen. We simply need to sit down...and wait. Let the economy heal itself.

Yeah, I only have two, but they are pretty good I think, what do you have for ideas to fix the economy??

New Renaissance

Here is how I see the timeline of the Anno Domini Bi Millennium

Rome-Very secular, Religion was even secular.
(0-500approx.)

Medieval Age: Very God orientated, everything was pointed toward religion
(500-1300s approx.)

Renaissance: Very focused on human talents and the build up of society and philosophy, focusing on Rome and Greece
(1300s-mid 1500s approx.)

Enlightenment and Industrial Age: Refocusing on religion as a means of livelihood and purpose. Very pious and strict.
(mid 1500s-mid 1800s)

Modern and Information Age (New Renaissance): We now have entered into a time where material things are of a greater importance to society.
(mid 1800's - Now)

We are transferring back and forth between Religious and Secular eras of time, Its a cycle! Pretty interesting... It is also interesting to think about what will happen next in the cycle and when.

To be loved or to be feared?

I have recently been reading The Prince by Machiavelli, It is an intriguing book, and I encourage you to divulge in its writings. One thing that really just stabbed my hand is that Machiavelli suggests that for a leader or simply one in command, it is better to be feared rather than loved. The way I see it, if you are feared, people build up a sort of awe-inspired love and an honoring love rather than a love of affection. It would make you successful but possibly unhappy. While being loved without a healthy sense of fear is much like a situation in which a loving family with no intention of disciplining a rebellious child is allowed to be pushed over by the child who is ungrateful of the support of the parents. So later Machiavelli, smart man as he was probably thought this through, mentions that you cannot be a successful leader without love, so he says that you must be feared with enough love to not be hated. Its an interesting concept.

Conversations!

Do you realize that when you talk to someone in a conversation of some length, that you and that other person have just pulled off something never before done in history?? Your peers, family, friends, and mentors are one of your main sources for making history, they help mold you and intern you can help mold them. Its a win-win situation. Conversations don't even need to have much meaning to them, because they always will have a definition of bonding and sharing. So I encourage you all today to go talk to friends, family or someone else about everything or nothing in particular.

Wisdom-er

Dictionary Definition: One who must be able to Master what they say so that their utterings are exactly what they mean and are irrefutable. 


Wisdomers are few unfortunately, and I don't consider myself a wisdomer, but I am working on it. Everyone can see different people as wisdomers. I see people such as Louis Giglio, Martin Luther King Jr. Most of our founding fathers in America, Billy Graham, Plato, and Erasmus.


These people are some of the greatest Wisdomers I can think of, off the top of my head. Please, tell me who you would see as a Wisdomer.

Mountains of Sniatnuom

The mountains in the background and on the wee little picture signify the mountains of the mind. In your mind there is so much contortedness and valleys and mountains that, there must be so much unfound profoundness in there. You might say that, I am and encourage you to take a treasure hunt through the mountains of your mind. Many will climb a mountain just to say "I did it!" or "Cuz its there!". Others will climb to find some mystic Tibetan dude, sittin up there legs crossed, and ask him a question. Instead of climbing 6 miles off the safe flat land, just come into the Info 'Fe, Let it be your guru.
