My Trip to Bodies: The Exhibition


Over the weekend, I had an opportunity to go see Bodies: The Exhibition in NYC. It was an interesting exhibit. They took real people and after they were dead of course, the bodies were preserved and made into a rubbery material, that can be displayed without being inside a liquid or enclosed case. They remove some parts of the skin, muscle, and organs in the various specimens to show the complexity of the human body. It was fascinating to see what the inside of the human body looked like so up close and personal like this. There were even displays of the arteries to be looked at. I noticed how the shapes of nature appear in the human body, which was interesting. Nature repeats its earthly designs. For instance, the arteries look like trees with all the branchs going in seemingly random directions but all delicately planned out as the artery grew in the direction it needed to so it could provide blood to a part of the body like a tree grows a branch in a direction it needs to in order to touch the sunlight. Overall, the exhibit was put together in a tasteful way for a museum type of exhibit. It was certainly creative and well thought out, even to the point of the staff people wearing white lab coats (but to me with all the bodies cut up and organs displayed, I wondered if they wore white lab coats portraying scientists, or white coats as butchers), but it was rather morbid at the same time seeing what were real people forever trapped in this way. Sadly, their physical bodies will unlikely ever be at rest.

A Universe Without Color


What would the world be like if there was no colors? What would there be to distinguish one item on earth from another item? Would everything be black, white, or invisible? If black and white are colors, if there were no colors, then they would not exist. So if they didn't exist and everything was invisible because of the lack of color, then there would be no objects? Energy would still be there, and maybe the objects that take of space might still be there, but if we can't see them, do they still exist? Would we even exist if we are invisible? Ghosts are invisible, so maybe we would be a ghost, just pure energy. But energy gives off colors, so is it even possible to have a universe without color? Can we really have energy if there is no color, but energy cannot be destroyed, and since energy already exists, then maybe its not possible to have no colors.

The Eyes Are Watching


No matter what you do, no matter where you go, you cannot hide from the Eyes. They don't sit there and say to themselves that what you do is right or wrong, they watch indiscriminately as they are not here to judge. Its up to you how you choose to be, and you are held responsible regardless of what the Eyes see. But, you are never alone and even in your most private moments, the Eyes still watch on. what becomes of the information the Eyes record, well, time will tell.

Rebellion


A bright young girl
yet a rebel at heart.
So very strong willed,
She will not give in.
Determined to succeed in what she does,
She will not listen to the authority.
She will fight till the end
For what she believes in.
It was in her from the beginning
And shall be for all time.

Hello, my name is Excuse Me? Or is it Shadow? Is a name really needed?


I am so confused. I have 2 supervisors at work. One knows my name and the other doesn't. Its supervisor #2 that doesn't know my name. When he wants to talk to me, he says "Excuse Me." Every time, without fail. When he talks to my coworkers, he calls them by name, but not me. Maybe my name has been changed somewhere? Maybe my name is Excuse Me? I wasn't given a memo with that, so I am confused.

OK, so my new name is Excuse Me McFadden, well according to supervisor #2 anyway :)

On another note, supervisor #1 told me today that my coworkers there are calling me Shadow. I am very quick in my work, and don't stay in one place long, so for them to see me, its a rare occasion as I slip by them quietly, deep in my pursuit of completing my work, I don't stop for the daily chit chat that they all engage in. I am almost transparent, as if I am not really there, like a ghost or apparition, a slight breeze swiftly passing them.

I get all my assigned work done quickly and without hesitation, an excellent worker, no complaints, and continue to help out my coworkers afterwords with their work as well, all with precision, with great attention to detail and organization. I am but a shadow, the thing you see out of the corner of your eye that grasps your attention but when you turn to look, I may be gone, but in my path of existence, is all I have left behind, the precisely organized work, my signature trademark. Anything less than that, I wouldn't be a shadow, I wouldn't be ME! I am not important, not my physical existence, because all that really matters is what I leave behind in my wake, that is what is important, that is what is everlasting and hopefully contagious, inspirational, in a good way of course.

Everything I touch, figuratively and literally, my energy transfers to, a part of me stays with that, working to transform that thing, influence it in that it becomes more positive and takes on more attributes that come along with my energy.

So, when supervisor #2 calls me "Excuse Me" he is most certainly right to do so, as I am not a name, I am more than that, a name is meaningless in the greater scheme of things. As a physical person I am insignificant, just another set of bones, blood, water, and skin. In my real presence, I am energy, always been and always will be, transparent but forceful and influencing, part of the universe. This is who I am.

Meet Wally


This is my little friend Wally. She is a ceramic doggie from the early 1950's. I became her owner back in 2007. Before I found Wally, I had an image in my mind of her. I went to several antique stores and garage sales but I came up empty handed. I knew Wally was out there somewhere and that I'd find her eventually. Little did I know that I was using the Law of Attraction. She was in my mind, I had the picture, but I had to manifest her. It was the summer of 2007, I was on vacation, a bus trip of the west. After the ride through Montana, I was ill. I had tried Huckleberries for the first time ever as I had Huckleberry Lemonade, Huckleberry ice cream, hell, I even had Huckleberry soda. They have Huckleberry everything in Montana. I think I had an allergic reaction or something. I was sleeping on the bus and the bus left Montana and entered Idaho. I awoke when the bus stopped in a town called Wallace. I had no idea how we got there, just that when I awoke from my feverish sleep, I was in this town. The tour guide told us that they filmed part of the movie Dante's Peak in this town. It was very pretty, with steep mountain sides with forests. I walked down the street, not feeling well, but walked by an antique store and in the window was this ceramic dog glistening with the sunlight reflecting off the ceramic. I immediately felt attracted to this dog. This was exactly what I was looking for. I went in the store and adopted this little doggie. She cost $20 but it was well worth it as she is almost 9" tall and is very pretty. I named her Wally since I found her in Wallace, Idaho and she has been my little ceramic friend ever since.

My epiphany last week


One day last week, I was at work, and in the afternoon, I was glancing at an magazine about decorating and architecture. While I was doing this, the setting sun shone into a window I don't ever remembering happening before, and was blinding me as I was looking at this magazine. It was so wonderful to say the least. I felt so happy, it was like the energy of the sun was entering my body and making me feel good. It was way better to have that positive energy focused on me rather than the draining florescent lighting. Anyway, while all this was happening, I got a feeling inside me, I realized then that I could do anything that I wanted and that whatever I decided to do, I'd be successful and happy at it. I was looking at that magazine and all I could think about was how I love decorating and that I love houses and floor plans. I have always known that these things were things that I had a deep passion for, but I realized now that it is possible that I can fulfill that and be successful at it. The sun makes me feel so happy.

Ummm, who is the intelligent one?


I got this coupon the other week. I was like "wow, a $3 off coupon, awesome." Then I read under the big print, "compliments of Bimbo Bakeries." I stopped myself when I came across the name of the company. Bimbo Bakeries, what? Not sure what they would name the bakery that. After looking up what bimbo means, physically attractive yet unintelligent. OK, we have an attractive bakery that is unintelligent. Maybe it describes their bakery products? Maybe their bakery products are attractive, but the quality is inferior and lacking something? Maybe they use all artificial ingredients and that is definitely not smart, not for the consumer. Maybe the bimbo refers to the consumer that buys the products as they are not smart to buy the inferior products? Its very interesting.
