dreaming…

I had a really strange dream last night. two parts one involves a pre-cognitive accident involving an airplane (that I was in) and the ground that I won’t get into now.

The cool part of my dream is that Kaitlyn was in it. the really strange thing was that she was like 14 and really tall. I gave her a big hug and it warmed my heart.

I miss her so.

It has just been absolutely crazy the past few weeks. It’s now 220am and I’m still up multi-tasking. Feeling like I’ve been up for days. Need to slow down a bit and get balance back.



Just TOO busy

It’s been crazy lately. Tons going on at work, travelling for three days next week. Finished one dragonfly project and starting another (small ones thankfully). Learning like 10 new things (computers/programming stuff). I need a break. (Not really, since I thrive on this sort of thing, but it is somewhat overwhelming).

Sometimes I do wonder what life would be like without all the computers phones and gadget goodness. Would life really be that much simpler? Would it be boring? What would I do with my time?

On the flip side, I can’t even image what it will be like for the kids when they get their first “real” jobs decades from now.

The one good thing about travel is the plane time gives me the opportunity to 1) sleep 2) think a quiet thought without interruption for at LEAST 5 minutes and 3) sleep. Sometimes it’s so bad that I can sleep through takeoff right up to touchdown (2-3 hour flight). Guess that means my body needs it, but heck, the mind over matter, right?

Video blog tomorrow.

I’m going to start posting links to some free music that can be found on the web. Anyone who knows me knows that I love music of all sorts and typically have an MP3 player (or two) within reach.

To kick things off, here is an awesome remix of a track by The Ting Tings. Fun, funky and will get you rockin in your mauve-colored task chair at the office before you know it.

That’s Not My Name – The Ting Tings

Where does it end. A few weeks back I got turned-on (in true geek fashion) to the technology behind the popular blogging software WordPress. Having done a little bit of coding for fun here and there, I was floored by the simplicity and accessibility of these tools and now my brain hurts trying to take it all in.

I figured a long time ago that as you age, you become more sedentary in your thinking and begin to get used to things the way that they are and your “sphere” of knowledge flexes a bit, but generally stays about the same. Then you learn something completely new and for a while, your brain hurts (probably not really, but it feels that way). I think it’s from your brain having to shift how it thinks to accomodate the new information and how it could/would/should apply to other things related or not.

In any case, my brain hurts. EOM
