Acting in a Digital World
I remember when I was a kid and would go shopping with my mom. While we were there we would always ask for a toy and maybe this snack or that. But one that stands out in my mind is these smoothie packets. It was so great to drink and was nothing but some of the greatest memories as a child.
Now as an adult, I read the nutrition info. My God! My mom was feeding this to her kids! She must have hated us and tried to give us heart attacks at the tender age of 8!
If you have ever wondered what it is like on the other side of the phone when talking to anyone in IT, this is a pretty good idea of what it is like.
I’ve had my share of days like the one above.
I’ve recently had a break up of a very long relationship. No need to go into details. We both love (or loved) each other but there were trust issues on both sides that ultimately ended it. What hurts me the most is we had been in a relationship long enough that there was talk of buying a house together and even kids.
I know…I was surprised as well. Not only that those topics were brought up but also that I was considering it.
What I can’t help but think is what would have happened to my relationship if there was a home/marriage and kids involved? Would they have saved my relationship or simply kept me in a bad situation longer than I should have been?

It’s been so long since I’ve been in the office much less the city. I’ve forgotten what it is like to interact with co-workers. What it’s like to be able to chat about a problem for a few minutes or simply catch up on what someone has going on in their life. Until telecommuting can solve that problem, there will always been a need for humans to be in the office. No matter what technology is invented to allow people NOT to be in a central office, they will still PREFER it. Simply because humans are social creatures. Even if when we are in the office we wish to be home, once we have been for some time, we long again for being around people in the office.
Earlier I was riding Bart and noticed that chivalry has all but disappeared. When did it become OK for men to sit while women stand holding onto the handrails? Is it because of the feminist movement or do men simply don’t care anymore? It was nice to see ONE guy get up for a woman that got on that had a broken foot. If this had been the 50’s or maybe even the 60’s all the men would have been standing and allowing the women to sit. Perhaps we guys just don’t know what we are suppose to do. Do we show chivalry or simply treat every woman as if she is no different than a guy?
Honestly I think if we had more example of chivalry we’d be living in a more caring and understanding world instead of one that is so selfish and self centered. Can I go back to the 50’s? Oh but I want to take my iPhone! 
I was surfing the net one day and came across this independent film and thought it looked interesting. It’s about the unlikely friendship between two women that seem to be on the polar opposite sides of body issues but eventually realize they have much more in common that they first thought.
These are the type of movies that I wish Hollywood would make more of and that made me want to become an actor.

I saw Wall-E recently and loved it. I was surfing the net one day and came across some videos (commercials) of Wall-E on the net that I thought were cute. I decided to put them here in one easy place for you to see. If you get a chance to see the movie, go see it, especially with someone you love.
Vacuum Cleaner is my favorite. Which is your favorite?

Recently I started to think what were relationships like. I came up with renting. I know, not quite as insightful or earth shattering as you might have expected. Perhaps this isn’t a giant mystery to some people but for whatever reason I never realized it before.
Just listen to my fears
To my heartache
And to my tears
Just listen to my anger
Understand I’m not mad
I’m just scared
Just listen to my hurt
Realize I want to fix it
I just don’t know how
Just listen to me
So I can be heard
In hope that I can just listen too

Love from another adult does more than just satisfy us in the present. It ripples back in time for us, repairing, restoring and renovating an inadequate past. Sincere love also sets off a forward-moving ripple and a resultant shift inside us. We get to the point where we can think: "Now I don’t have to need quite so much. Now I don’t have to blame my parents quite so much. Now I can receive love without craving more and more. I can have and be enough." Only the person whose journey has progressed to that point can love someone intimately.
