Update

So it has been a while since I have been on here to do any kind of update.

* First off, got really sick had a fever for 4+ days and finally decided to go hospital and ended up getting hospitalized.

* Work has had some very interesting calls (I'll save that for the grape vine)

* I had my finale probationary physical and shooting qualification, and well it went good.

Now on to actual writing and not a bullet point.

So if you go through this blog, there is several entrees regarding certain moves and travel. I love going to new places. Even more so I love movies dealing with adventures and experiencing those new places. I am not entirely sure why I love watching those movies and why I could re-watch it but I do. I do have feeling its the fact I like adventures. New places are away to open up oneself and see what is out there. Due to the fact I really can't do that right now, movies give me that opening.

I have thought so much about traveling and adventuring out to the places I do not know. I think that is the reason why I go out on road trips. Most of the time they are random and that is the way I like it. Sometimes I have a certain destination but the rest of is random.

One of these movies is "The Art Of Travel." This movie is about a kid that just goes on adventure after setback in his life. One of the greatest parts of the movie is when he travels to Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu is one if not the major thing that I have to see. It is the quintessential number 1 on my bucket list.

Another, new movie that has come out is "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." I swear I had told myself when seeing the previews that I had to watch this movie. As I was watching the it on DVD that I had bought I was kicking myself for not buying in blu ray. The screen play is based of the short story in which I well try to find it soon. I have to say the random adventure was amazing. I think everyone needs to have a point where one has to adventure. Go out into the vast beyond, to find oneself.

In all I think that is what adventure is. Going out to new places adapting and finding how and what you really are. I hope one day I can find away to take an adventure like these two movies show. I know it may not happen anytime soon, but I can truly hope for it. Right now I'll keep my local adventure and writing those stories until I can take a big trip. Sooner then later it will happen.

Anyways here is a you tube video of a song that is on through out the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." The song is kinda about adventure and going out into the wild.

Is patience a real virtue or just an annoying item that you really have to go through... a lot.

I am sure the statement "patience is a virtue" has been heard by everyone, and told to everyone that it must be practiced. I have always though that I was really good at practicing patience, the only problem I am slowly finding out I am not very good at this practice. I guess that I need to look into the practice even more, and I need to learn it quick (Haha not patience in learning patience, I need to learn it now... Irony, I think so). Through understanding that I need to learn the virtue know as patience, I have also learned, learning a virtue is actual really difficult. This reminds me of my senior project that I had to write for my BS in which which moral theory is best, yet the paper in the end is the same as the start. It is a constant loop and when you truly gain that virtue you move up into another circle and cycle around forever until you are ready to jump to the next section. So with that said, I guess I am going to go through this learning process while I really n

A patience view

Being patience is something that seems like an almost lost idea in the world at this time. I remember when I was a child my mom and/or dad would tell me I needed to be patience about stuff and eventually it would come with hard work. I took that to heart very often, but at times I would let the thought disappear into the wind wanting stuff to happen right away. Hit me the other day that I have been drifting further the way of being a patience person awaiting and working hard to get to those goals and getting upset because things were not happening right away. I think this came to light when I was wondering why people in movies and around me in personal life and at work are not patience. At first I blamed technology solo, but I think that's just part of the issues and will be talked about later. After I began to develop that theory, I tested it against myself. What I had found was yes, in fact I did have less patience because of technology but that was just slightly the rea

Bar pounders

It seems like an on going thing that I am at a bar thinking about the what ifs. Why do I pounder upon these thoughts so often? And why always at a bar? I guess the reason at a bar is well there is alcohol there and there is people watching. If you combine the two you have something that I am extremely good at doing. So natural when I do those things I start thinking about other people's what ifs. Why are in this place? Is it the same reason I am here or is their life in a downward spiral of doom that the only thing to make it better is some liquor in their system. I think the later is probably an over step but still I have a feeling it does happen at times. Anyways so this night at the bar I have noticed a lot of drunk individuals some of which didn't even recognize that the are at the point of blasted, yet believe they are as normal as possible. Is that how people feel in real. In their own minds they feel that they are just like everyone else, yet in reality they are not
