Question of the day: What do you think of when you close your eyes and spin slowly around to the sound of Mozart?

JAVA

JAVA. No, unfortunately not the tasty kind. It's the computer kind, a programing language. I have never touched programing, I've not a clue as to how one would start other than buying a "Beginner's JAVA for dummies" book.
Well, this may soon be my job. (or so I hope)
SCARRY!!!
Well, not too bad, but it is certainly a new frontier for me. I've grown up around computers my entire life so I am very comfortable learning most computer involving skills. But most of my computer skills involve Microsoft applications, internet, and most of all graphics design. My all favorite thing to do is go out with my camera and take all kinds of fun and unusual pictures and then transfer them to a computer where I play with them in Adobe Photoshop. This is something I have been unable to do for some time since I haven't the equipment right now, but if I get the chance again I will be one very happy individual.
But programing...sheez! I've been told by some (and agree after looking at it a little myself) that programing is learning a new language. I've never been very quick with languages other than reading and playing music so this will be all very new for me.
If I do end up with this job I'll be very very very busy (4-6 weeks basic training in Pendleton OR, then 4-6 months on site training, TX or CA). So I might not be blogging very often but I'll still try to get out those weird questions.
PS. Please don't ever put your coffee this close to your keyboard. It could be SOOOOO disastrous!

Question of the day: What is red, orange, purple, and yellow. Sings. Dances. And makes people happy? (There is no right answer, just your answer, be creative!)

Question of the day: What would be the best superhero power/gift to have if you were trapped on an island all by yourself? No power/gift can get you off the island, your going to be stuck there a while.

My Hubby

Hey! Guess what? My husband has just started his own blog too! If you want to check out his crazy funniness go to www.joeyjoejoejrshabadoo.blogspot.com. Very Funny!

15 Years

Well, I've gotten a few of you to answer my most recent question and now you're probably wondering, what is my answer?
Well, I'm one of those people who is in the midst of trying to get away from "should-a, could-a, would-a". Its not something I really struggle with all too much, but enough that it prompted the previous question.
There is plenty I think I would change if I could, but I think the one thing I would change is that I would have gone for graphics design in college with a little more focus and point to graduate with a degree in that area. I was one of those kids who changed my degree three times, once each of the three years I was in college. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life (and still don't really) and so I was trying to be smart and go with what would get me the furthest the quickest.
Oops.
Well, I can't really go back, so... live life to the fullest despite the past right?

Question of the day: What does purple mean to you? ; )

Question

What would you do different if you could go back 15 years in your life?

To Express

There was a time once, when I was able to take professional dance lessons. It was during a summer about ten years ago. It was one of the best times of my life. At that point I was an extreme introvert and as such kept everything that made me me to myself. Most people then would have known me as the mousy nobody. But being able to take those dance lessons was wonderful. I found a way to let "me" out. I took ballet and tap. The tap was preformed at the end of the summer and the ballet was not. I loved both, but I loved ballet the most. It's like an ultimate expression in motion, no words needed. I was unable to continue with lesson after that summer, but the experience will remain with me forever.
Ballet
Music that whispers to your heart,
"wake up"
Soft shoes to glide in,
Crimson silk to let the art in motion spin.
Ballet
A moment on toe,
time stands still,
Arms raised and graceful,
shaped by a lover.
Dance
Gliding across a sunlit room,
His Spirit flows alongside her,
Caught away to a world unseen,
two dancers fade away.

Question of the day

What was the best way you ever found to express who you are?

Life

Life. Wouldn't we all like to think that we have everything figured out? Or at least somewhat close. Right? We're born and for the first few years of our lives our parents have everything figured out for us. Then we reach a certain age and we begin to figure it out on our own. Eventually we begin to decide on what we want to be when we grow up, then what type of spouse we would like, how many kids we want, where we want to live, how famous (or infamous) we want to be and so on. Some even get to go through most of life believing that they have it all, but most of us aren't quite so lucky (even the ones who think they have all find they don't).
Life will always throw you a curve ball.
Why?
Simple. Life is an adventure! Now when you think of an adventure you may think, knights saving beautiful ladies, African safaris, discovering new world. "Going where no man has gone before" (John Luke Picard, Star Trek the Next Generation). Now some adventures such as these really do exist its true, but for most of us our adventure will be something a bit different. Adventure really means this stepping outside expectation, taking chances, letting love happen, making life altering mistakes. Sometimes it even means to run around in circles because of all the craziness, so much so that you can't anymore and you just have to sit down and cry. And when you do you might finally get a chance to see just how good life is despite the chaos. If you hadn't been going through that stress you would have been crying, and the tears wouldn't have blurred your focus. And if you hadn't lost focus on the craziness of it all, your focus wouldn't have had a chance to change.
Adventure changes who you are.
My husband and I have been getting into the TV series "Lost" lately. Now this is the extreme of adventure. We've only made it through the first season and twelve episodes of the second season, but it has been fun watching the incredible changes that have taken place in the people who have been stranded on the island. Talk about chaos. There is always something or someone trying to kill them, strange animals like polar bears and horses roaming around, unexplained technology confusing everything further, and so on. But if this chaos hadn't happened some of these people would never have gotten over the life long struggles they had been dealing with.
An acquaintance of mine once said, Chaos is good, anarchy is bad. Chaos is God letting certain things get stirred up so that positive change can happen. Anarchy is enemy interference stirring things up so that destruction happens. They are both very uncomfortable, but only one has a happy ending.
Sometimes life is crazy, it makes you want to scream "STOP!!!", or sit and cry till there's nothing left of you but a puddle, or even go completely numb so that the craziness of life cannot effect you any longer.
But its not all bad. Don't try to run away or block it all from view.
Embrace the chaos and let it change you. Discover the anarchy and find a way to stop the destruction.

You think maybe I've been going through this of late? Yes, of course. It may have produced a bit of rambling writing, but perhaps its a point of view that might brighten another chaotic life.

Question of the day: What is the best peanut butter combo you've ever had? Peanut butter and pickles (you may have been pregnant), chocolate, coffee, macaroni, sardines, a lemon. What was it, what was the best combo ever, anything at all.

Bust'n Brain

Hmmm... What to write about. I'm one of those people with a racy mind who has plenty to write about. But when I sit down to actually "put pen to paper" as it were, the mind bleeps, the green cursor flashes on a blank screen, and funny colored smoked eeks from the ears. Well, no, not really, but that is what seems to happen every time I make the writing attempt. Once in a while it will actually work and that green flashing cursor is followed by a blaze of bright green letters forming into complete words and sentences; rare. I have hopes that blogging will loosen some of the clutter in the attic and hopefully some cool long lost treasure will be discovered. Stay tuned. : )

Question of the day: Where does your mind go when you listen to the 30 second clip of
"Ride" by "Bond" on the their album "Shine"? (you can find the audio clip on www.bn.com and www.amazon.com. Amazon's clip almost picks up where bn.com leaves off, so listen to both for a near full minute sample)

To Blog

This is new for me. Blogging. Its a way to let the world know what you think (or don't). It also so happens to be a great way to vent or empty out the random thoughts of your day. For me? Well, you never know what I might write next, it could be amazing, or just weird, perhaps pointless, it may even put you to sleep. We'll find out soon enough.
I have an over active mind, it rarely stops and if it does, well... lets just hope my mouth is closed, you never know what might come out in those rare moments. I plan on using this blog to (among other things) find out what other over active minds exist, I'll try to post a random question everyday (even if I don't have the time to write anything else). We'll see what kind of minds are out there, heh heh heh.

Today's question: What is "a warm chill"?
Weird? Yeah, I know. : )
