Perspective

"Most people see the world as a threatening place, and, because they do, the world turns out, indeed, to be a threatening place" - The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, Harper 1998.

This shows how strong perspective really can be, and how it influences our daily choices. If I look for the bad in every situation I am more likely not to like the decisions I make. When I look for the good I see the bigger picture of my choices, and therefore am empowered to fully understand myself, and the choices I make. There is good and bad in almost every choice we make. This is why it is important not to make decisions prematurely without reflection and thought.

I have really enjoyed the book The Alchemist and have to thank Spencer Nussbaum for that. Check out his blog at http://kiplingtimes.blogspot.com. I don't always agree with everything Spencer says, but his posts do conjure up thought and self reflection.

Also you can buy this book on half.com. Here is a link http://product.half.ebay.com/The-Alchemist_W0QQprZ24235QQtgZinfo

The book is truly fascinating on a lot of different levels. The story's plot is slow at times, and then it becomes brilliant in little paragraphs with thought provoking ideas.

Xbox 360 Red Messenger Kit Mod, Customize Paint Job

Yes I did. I customized my messenger kit. I painted it red with a special paint that will not rub off. You are looking at the first RED messenger kit. I will soon be customizing the paint job on my controller (white one) and will post the picture after I am done. I plan on painting it red, and putting my initials either on the side or on the back in black letters. These controllers really are a pain to get apart. I had to buy a special tool online just to be able to take it apart. The paint process takes a little skill, and we will see how the initials look. Let me know if you digg it or not. And let me know if you have any suggestions. Also, on the paint job a little red paint did seep through on the sides b/c I did not put the tape down hard enough. I fixed this problem by using masking tape instead of duck tape.

Tolstoy and Family

"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." - Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina.

This is how Tolstoy starts out my favorite book of all time. This thought or line runs through my head all the time. Happiness is very subjective, or so people think.

Families have always fascinated me. Every family is different in that each has their own issues and baggage. You really never know everything about someone's family, or even your own for that matter. Families can be the root of all happiness, or all sorrow. I think this is why we as individuals start our own families in the hope that we will improve our personal happiness, and in turn will be able to share that happiness with our families. Families are complicated, but the complication is worth it because it brings about true joy.
