What is happiness


As I was in one of my classes answering questions about my economic status. I was scared to answer the questions because I was afraid that people would judge me or act as "haters" because of what I have. I would consider my self high middle class. I have been very fortunate. I have a boyfriend that I have been with for 4 years and just graduated from Dental school so now we have "money" where as before we were living with his brother and living off his financial aid. Why is it that I am scared of people judging me because of the stuff I have now? Who is to say that success is money or money makes you happy. As the late Notorious BIG said "the more money you make, the more problems you see"

boys




I'm not sure but this picture looks like it could be all boys I wonder what sort of presentation they are all there to see. Did they have to pay to go see this presentation or are they all there because they have to be. It’s a pretty big auditorium to be a school but it seems like there all school aged boys. Maybe this is an old picture and there all there to get information about being drafted. Oh how sad there mothers would be. Maybe some of them don’t have mothers and they ran away so they are forced to be drafted. There are two boys towards the back that seem to be interested in whats going on in the front of the building. Are they beginning the presentation or just ending the presentation. Was it an informative presentation or a entertaining presentation? Geez that is lot of boys. There are a lot of them. How come the girls weren’t able to be there?
Right now my pinkie is really cramping up it seems to do that when its really cold and my hands are always could. As I'm typing I am not using my pinky because it hurts so bad its just not moving and cramping in one place it really hurts and you would’t think that a pinky could hurt so bad but it does.

rock water





This picture is awesome if I were a fish or a turtle I would love to have this habitat I wish I could see it in color, better yet I would love to color this picture. I see vibrant blue green water and colors of every spectrum in the souroundings. I wonder is fairies live underneath the plants that hang beyond the rocks this would be a perfect place for fairies to frolock. It reminds me of a scene out of peter pan where the mermaids live. I love how the piece of the rock that is in underwater has so much life growing from it and the piece that is in air is more plain. Oh how much fun would it be to live in water seeing all the colorful and flowing life forces there are to see. In black and white it seems that the fuzzyness on top of the rock could be snow.

monkey





What is this monkey thinking? He seems to have a lot of confusion behind his eyes…all it is trying to do is feed its baby .. that baby just wants what the mommy or daddy has and the parent is more concerned about the camera man taking its picture. Those are big nipples. The baby looks like a little old man that has more expression in its face than the parent. I wonder if they would have this food if they were free? Are they free or is this some kind of zoo. The back round looks pretty fake and the lighting doesn’t look so real either. As I look more at the picture I cant help but think maybe the whole thing is fake.. it looks really stage I wonder if the monkeys are even real. Are the plants real they look fake too. Everything is starting to look fake the more I look at it. What is real anymore In this world. Some people are fake whether it be there looks or there personality. What a sad sad world some people live in and I say people cause I don’t live in there world I live in my own world. I am just a prop in some peoples world, just passing them by.

Bandu


Bandu is a game where you start with a little rectangular piece and you have to build upon this little piece with various good and bad pieces from a pile in the middle. The person sitting next to you either takes a piece that will benefit them or passes on a piece that will hurt you. You have five beans... you either pay a bean to pass on the piece or accept the piece to add it to your structure. This game is a lot like life where you can pay to get out of rough situations or take what is handed to you and make the most of it.
In the end the person that plans and knows when it is important to pay or to accept the bad piece wins. Its all about the way you structure your life: you could take the bad situations and make the most of it or you can just try to ignore the bad stuff and let it pass by. You may start off with a bad structure but if you plan and build that structure to be solid you may just end up winning.

Is it make-belief?

Professor J brought up this in class and I thought I would blog about it....
Talking about thinking in simplicity in terms of "Are you smarter when you go back to the basics?" Little kids are able to have such wonderful imaginations because they don't know better. Is being obliviously to the world better- not knowing what is real? For instance some little kids might think that butterflies are really fairies because they don't know that fairies don't really exist. I personally choose to live the way a little kid would. I imagine that there are fairies and that there are no bad people in the world. It a very sad thing when you grow up and realize that Santa Clause isn't real. Cant we all just believe in make-belief as if we were still young? I know some of you may think I was using the apple that Joe was talking about but I for one do choose to still believe in fairy tales! Maybe that's why you'll usually see me with a smile on my face becuase I choose to live in a dream world!
