Trends

I was watching television, like I do here often, and a show was talking about how everyone goes into new trends. It is a trend to jump into a new trend as fast as possible. I found this funny yet perplexing of why people fall for trends. Now a days people here about a new trends a millisecond thanks to twitter, facebook and other social media items. So my thought process on this was, how the heck did older cultures spreed new trends, or did they even do that.

I know through history, each area had different things going on. For example during the times of Samurai in Japan, warriors had very sophisticated armour and weapons that no other culture had. While in Europe they were just developing proper metal alloys to make a strong steel for weapons. So as one can tell the trend in Japan was at a much different rate then in Europe. Years later isolation in Japan caused there trends to fall greatly behind other nations in the world and their technology looked out.

So as I am typing this, I just realized that trends are part of our evaluation. With out new trends to push towards or to find a better one, we might not be where we are today. If you look at Japan now and how they have developed after opening up to the world again they have become a technology super power. China has been doing the same collecting as much as they can from other cultures to become even more powerful. Its simple amazing.

Now there is the issue of going after the wrong trends. For example here in America we want to jump in the newest fashion trends and spend billions in catching the new trends.Yet we do not spend anything near the amount on fashion trends as we should on scientific trends. From what I see America has begun to isolate its self from the rest of the world in technology and science in exchange for a better looking jacket. If this is what older culture would have done in past we would not be near the place we are today.

Hopefully we walk into a new trend where we follow academics instead of fashion. Making us the stronger trend setter for something much better  then a shoes.

When view through a window looks bad look through another.

In yesterdays post I talked about the amount of stress that I am placing myself in and stretching myself so thin that I am actual feeling a real effect of it. I began to look at everything that I am doing and the hell that I am placing myself into which a very bad situation, one that could place my whole future in a hell. I am seeing that because I am trying to do so many things that I am actually being very shellfish and not doing the right thing. I have so much that is riding on me and yes I need to have fun, but I also need to remember there are other things that should be holding precedence over. Its time to get thing straight and see there is a definitive path in which I must follow to make sure my future at hand, the way it may happen won't be changed because of poor choices on my part. Its time to close one window, and begin to look out another to see a new view, picture, hope for the future.

In the blanket of dark, light creates itself.

For years now I have looked outside this window in my room. I have laid my eyes on the Santa Rita Mountains and have seen a different image every time I opened my curtains. My eyes have seen this timeless face change into a unique image every second of everyday for the past seven years. Through that time I have seen those mountains a far and at close. Through that time I have seen changes upon those rock formations. The four seasons bring four changes as predicated earlier. Spring season brings the new sprouts, new leaves, new young in the animals and even what seems to be new fresh start to a year. Summer brings the warmth, brings season to those of young who just arrived, and the rains of the monsoon come to prepare those for later. As those rains dissipate and the temperature begins to cool, the mountains change again. The leaves of youth fade color and start to show their age. Yellow, gold, brown and red cover the canopies and ground like a brilliant picture. The now...

Travel of the mind

Over the past 3 years I have been obsessed with travel movies, travel books, but most of all imagining the places I can go. I don't believe I have ever been in such a wanting of something then the ability to get up and travel the world, see new things, enter a world of others. I think the main reason for this is that I believe it will help me find my self. Learn from others to lighten the dark corners of my life. Understand the true human spirit and why we act and do what we do. It was around three years ago when I got to see Europe and explore two counties full of culture and new ways to light up my life. The sad thing it took almost three years to realize it because my eyes were covered by a blanket known as a fake relationship. I luckily didn't forget the sights, the food, and the people that I got to interact with. I don't believe I will ever forget those item now because it means so much. I am so very thankful that I was given that opportunity to see Germany and Italy....
