Life & Chaos

Life & Chaos

When you march to the beat of a different drummer, what others see as chaos, might well be your peace and harmony. Albert Einstein said, "He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice."

For the vast majority of the people I work with that is so true. They march in rank and file, always being told what to do, wear, think and when to breathe. This annoys the heck out of me. Stand up people and use the brain you have. Make intelligent choices and don't hold back on living. Take life to the edge and live as if there was no tomorrow. Live life with abandon, joy, hope and faith. "Suppose we were able to share meanings freely without a compulsive urge to impose our view or conform to those of others and without distortion and self-deception. Would this not constitute a real revolution in culture?" David Bohm

If there had been no risk takers that walked before us, then where would we be? I guess the biggest thing that bothers me is people who just don't think. You have a brain people, use it.

I believe that when people use the brains they have more good can be done, than if they have life dictated to them. In history people have had to think, in order to produce and be creative. Now it is as simple as buying a crafty kit with all of the pieces and putting it together using the diagram. In doing that, the powers that be have forced us into a chaotic madness. If you are missing a part, piece or can't find the color called for in a project, people will go to all lengths to get it. I think this is hilarious. What happened to creativity? Did it get lost when you grew up? Are you so afraid of what might be called free-form or chaos that you can't think outside the box? Get real people, the majority of the world lives outside of your box. Don't be afraid to step out of yours.

Vacation Adventures

Well, the week flew by. We drover down to Branson MO. and took 2 days to do so. That was good, because it got us in the mood for vacationing and doing nothing.

My philosophy of a vacation is to go somewhere fun and then do just what you want to do. No schedules, no requirements to do anything.

We knew we wanted to see at least one show while we wre there, which we did, the Circle B Chuckwagon Show. It was fun, funny and a grand time. Having grown up with country music, and western stuff, I thought I might find it a bit "hoakey" but it wasn't. I really enjoyed them and they did a great job. food was Awesome too. The other show we saw was David Lomond the Hawiian Crooner . This was a fun show and a bargain. David is funny, and so is Alohi his wife. We really enjoyed the Sunday night worship time and we went back for the Luau! I highly recommend this show for anyone going to Branson. He does this hilarious version to Elvis' "Return to Sender" song about a blender... I was laughing so hard.

We stayed at Suntera at Fall Creek and it was absolutely fantastic. Beth Ann in the Concierge dept was fantastic and really helped us out. Everyone was so courteous and friendly, we actually could see going back again.

We had an absolutely hilarious adventure wile riding the DUCKS in Branson. Our captain Dan was a hoot. His jokes were pretty bad, but that was just half the fun of it.

We also went to The College of The Ozarks. This is a really cool college. I was very impressed with it.

Other than that we went shopping and toodling around. I would definately like to go back to Branson. Maybe in the fall next time.
