Why Gays Don't Go Extinct..

Yes, you read the title correctly. I was on my break and browsing some articles when I found this one entitled, "Why Gays Don't Go Extinct"

http://www.livescience.com/health/080617-hereditary-homosexuality.html

It's a fascinating read though :)

Deep...

Some excerpts from the book "The DaVinci Method":

"Remember, the power of the DaVincis is our deep connection with the unconscious and our ability to freely and spontaneously reveal deep truths."

"You will be amazed what happens when one person listens to another with the expectation of hearing something powerful and profound."

I read a few more but I don't have time to post them. Enjoy!

Realize...

I was real busy this weekend and wasn't able to post some stuff I've been thinking about. A lot has been going on lately. A lot of talking, discussing, thinking, and crying. I heard a magnificent song on the radio earlier that made me cry almost immediately. This is the chorus from Colbie Caillat's "Realize":

"If you just realized what I just realized,
 Then we'd be perfect for each other and we'll never find another,
 If you just realized what I just realized,
 We'd never have to wonder If we missed out on each other now"

This song hit home with me because it's basically what I've been thinking about the past few days. I've been going through a lot of introspective change lately and wondered if it's been noticed. It feels good even though I know there is more to learn. I feel more alive than I have in years. It's starting to build my self confidence. I'm going to continue to read the numerous books I got from the library and probably pick up more when I return these. 

A friend said told me once that if I don't like a behavior I do then change it by keeping company of people who's behavior you want to model. Modeling behavior is easier than to invent it, which I agree. While growing up we model our parents behavior so it makes sense. 

I have a lot more to post but it's late and I want to start waking up and exercising. The DaVinci Method book suggests DaVinci types exercise in the morning to help burn off energy and to encourage Alpha brain wave patterns (which are the creative, problem-solving, calm brain waves). 

More to come soon...


P.S. If you can, pick up/download/buy the single of Colbie Caillats' "Realize". It's a wonderful song with a lot of emotion.

Rising Down...

In the past I have been pretty self-centered and selfish. When someone would ask for my help or assistance with a task, I'd usually make a big deal out of it and physically show that I would rather be doing something else. In the past few months though I've begun to see it in a new light. I'm learning to see that there is growth with each new experience. Whether it be helping a friend move or doing a task for somebody that doesn't have the time for it (because they're too busy with other things). You have to think positive about the situation and see the bigger picture even if there's something I'd rather be doing. Not everything that has to be done is going to be fun but if you change your thought about it and not get stuck in thinking negatively about it, you can learn to enjoy it.


On a side note, I got attacked by birds walking to my car yesterday. I came out of the building to start my lunch and as I was walking toward my car two birds dive bombed. Luckily I saw their shadow and was able to evade them ha ha. Either they had a new nest nearby or my epic bedhead looking appealing as a nest ha ha.

Anyways, back to work I go!

Knights...

So I got another book from the Pleasanton library today. It's called The Davinci Method and it talks about harnessing the ADD/ADHD mind. I couldn't wait to read it that I sat in the parking lot and read for 20 minutes before hunger took over. I can tell already that I'm going to love this book!

Reading time!
I decided to take a screen shot of my desktop to show some principles I want. It also doubles as my vision board :).
