Cameo in "The Awakened" comic by Sad Cat Hee Hee I got a background cameo in this edition of " The Awakened" by Sad Cat. I'm ready for my cameo !Can you find me ? I'm not Waldo...... although I might be a waldo ....... but that is another story. | | Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 | | 10:46 pm |
Which way is it going ? Clockwise or Counter Clockwise ?
When I first saw this, it was going in one direction, then it was suddenly going in the other. The constant switching of directions, for me is uncannily eerie. So which direction is it going for you ?
If you see this lady turning in clockwise you are using your right brain.
If you see it the other way, you are using left brain.
Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.
See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain's current.
BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:
Left Brain Right Brain
Logical Random
Sequential Intuitive
Rational Holistic
Analytical Synthesizing
Objective Subjective
Looks at parts Looks at wholes
Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity IF YOU THINK THIS ISN'T LEGIT, get two people ( you and another ) to watch her and she can and will be turning different ways at the same time if you give it some time. NO JOKE !
So is it clockwise or counter-clockwise ? | | Tuesday, December 25th, 2007 | | 12:27 pm |
It is CHRISTMAS !
Best wishes for all for a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday ! | | Wednesday, December 19th, 2007 | | 9:34 am |
Blame it on my weird sense of humour Your Score: The Coyote You scored 13% domestic, 27% gregarious, 57% trickster, and 38% intellect! 
Wild, Solitary, Emotional Trickster: you are the Coyote!
Coyote is a complex symbol of humor, cunning, and survival. Coyote is often portrayed as the ‘wise fool’, helping people to see the truth in difficult situations. Coyote medicine is often strongly tied to learning to be adaptable, seeing the humor in even the worst situations, and being able to cope with even the toughest things life can throw at you.
This test categorized you based on four different axes of personality, which were then associated with a different animal. The four axes, as well as all possible results are explained below.
Wild/Domestic: This first axis categorizes you based on how much you are drawn to the outdoors, versus how much you are drawn to civilized situations. Domesticity has many shapes and forms, and varies from the joy of dolphins leaping next to a ship to the steadfast loyalty of a family dog.
Gregarious/Solitary: This axis measures how solitary you are. If you scored high, it means that you enjoy the company of other people, while a low score indicates that you prefer a more solitary lifestyle.
Trickster/Serious: This axis measures how well you line up with conventional trickster archetypes. People who fall into this archetype have a sense of humor and an excitable, highly chaotic streak. Scoring low doesn't mean that you don't have a sense of humor; it just means that you probably don't think dynamite is very funny.
Intellectual/Emotional: This last axis determines whether you are more emotional -- acting based on feelings and instinct, or rational and intelectual -- acting more on thought than on your gut feelings.

A Knock At The Door. About two and a half years ago I posted a link to this. Since then it has been updated and it is still moving and powerful. If you want your heart and your imagination touched, or if you are down and need to be lifted up, then click here: A Knock At The DoorEnjoy ! | | Saturday, August 25th, 2007 | | 9:12 pm |

Pale Blue Dot: An Unauthorized View Some years ago I had my first encounter with the intellect of Carl Sagan, when he produced and narrated one of the best PBS documentaries that has ever been made. Cosmos. I fell in love with that program, its music and was mesmerized with Sagan's skill and elan and enthusiasm for what he was communicating. Years later, he wrote a book called Pale Blue Dot. Along with that, he began to record the audiobook to go with it. But before he could finish, he passed away, on December 20, 1996, the day on which, each year, that I celebrate my own birthday. Some years have elapsed since Carl Sagan's passing, but the impact of his intellect remains. Recently, a fellow going by the name of Kasranov, based in Minato, Tokyo, Japan, was inspired to create, for all to share, his vision of what that book would have been like, had Sagan's narration been applied to telling the story for television. What Kasranov has made of Sagan's work, is nothing short of amazing. I only wish that I could own a copy at full resolution on DVD. So, here I give you the link to the blog in which he discusses the making of and offers free access to his video of Pale Blue Dot: An Unauthorized View: Chapter 1, Wanderers. It runs a mere 40 minutes as a google video and you will arrive at the end, eager for more. It is also available on Youtube: Pale Blue Dot | | 5:15 pm |

That is not a dragon. Yeah, it is an avian, but it is most decidedly NOT a dragon: Your Score: The Majestic Eagle Here's your results! Your spirit animal has a Nobility ranking of 18 out of 18.
Your spirit animal is the Majestic Eagle. No other compares with the splendor, grace and majesty of your guardian. When others only walk, you take wings and fly, and while they stumble through the dark forest of ignorance, you soar high above, and see all. You are alive with a spirit and wisdom that defies belief. Some have even thought that such spirit animals only look after divine souls.
***Wondering how this animal was chosen for you? These questions were carefully thought out to see how important you hold certain virtues such as: humanism, self-knowledge, rationalism, the love of freedom and other somewhat Hellenic ideals. Some of the questions were very subtle. Your score was then matched with an animal of corresponding nobility. However, you shouldn't think this was a right/wrong sort of test, but more of an idealistic values test. It's ok to not hold these values, you'll just get an animal spirit of lower stature if you do!***

This week's brouhaha quantum_witch sums up this week's insanity rather well "Aziraphale Speaks Out"Diligent research and detective work reveals more information on the background details of the Six Apart screw up of LiveJournal in 2007: Six Apart, IPO Greed and The Radical Far RightWhether this is all idle speculation or is hitting close to the mark, remains to be seen. Hey Six Apart, you could put all this speculation to sleep with a nice solid dose of transparency. How about giving us some ? | | Thursday, May 31st, 2007 | | 12:09 am |
The monster in the shadows So just who are these folks who frightened Six Apart into acting so irrationally ? Netizens have been doing their due diligence, something Six Apart has NOT been doing. Take a read here | | Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 | | 12:49 am |
The Power of Fear & the Smothering Hand of Darkness Six Apart, through the proxy of their LJ Abuse team, is deleting journals. Though it appears I do not watch any of the journals that have been removed thus far, I am still offended. Few things are more offensive, when we pause to talk about what is offensive, than the cavalier suppression of free speech. The lj abuse team's response to queries from concerned Netizens is lame and unsatisfactory and rings hollow. More than anything else, it demonstrates that they and their legal advisers have the typical squealing squalid squeamish delirious fear of defending the right to free speech. How sadly and correct Franklin D Roosevelt was when he said: "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself."In this case folks pages are being annihilated as a result of the spineless fear of Six Apart. What a sad day it is. Darkness descends. Unaware of what is transpiring in LJ ? Click To War Against Extremists and The Great Purge of 2007 and The Epic Strikethough of 07 Edit 05/30/07 More here and lawyers discuss the WFI Debacle and The Deafening Silence and especially Resource Links To Fight The Darkness also an article in Firefox News: The Purity Police and Fan ficMore news on the people who are behind the pressuring of Six Apart to do a mass deletion of journals. It begins to look more like they are motivated more by hate than by doing good. Look here for more information. | | Sunday, May 20th, 2007 | | 3:38 pm |
Ah yes, The Power BIrd Meme | Your Power Bird is an Eagle | 
You are spiritual and able to soar to great heights.

And you are quite demanding in relationships... but you're worth it.
People know that you will become even greater than you imagine. |
