This was such a surreal photo from the space station during 9/11 in NYC. Had to share it.

Friends Don't Let Friends Get on Treadmills with Flipflops
This is a kicks and giggles kind of post. I just have a couple of questions:
1. At what point in this persons mind did they decide what they were about to do was a good idea?
2. Why was his friend not being a good friend by just "saying no"
3. At what point to do you scrape up the little bit of dignity and walk away? Is it before or after the chain is removed, or is it after the flip flops and hat fly off?
It was as if the treadmill declared "TAKE THAT MAN, YOU DON'T OWN ME...I OWN YOU!"
Personally, if it were me, I would have just lain there and played dead...but that's just me.
I watched this video to my own shame so many times and laugh at it (yes at the expense of the person involved) until the tears come. Laughter is an excellent medicine and I will get a daily dose of this one if I need to. Hope it makes you smile.
Just as a sidebar...perhaps they were inspired by the video at the bottom of the post. However, they should have made a note about the "Speed" of treadmill in other video.
Which do you prefer?

Wii Fail
My brother owns a Wii system. I had the chance to play with the game system and it was a lot of fun. The first time I used it, he had me strap these little wrist straps to my arm so that I didn't accidentally swing and throw the controller into the abyss someplace.
This strap allowed me to have fun and be worry free about where the controller went, as the strap stayed on my wrist and controller in my hand.
So, what happens when someone feels that silly little rules like this don't need to be followed? Serously, it can't be that bad.
This is a sad but true video. This is a simple video to demonstrate the importance of following the rules that sometime seem strange. Just may save the life of your flat screen.
Till next time....Peace 2 ya

Avoidance
Yesterday, I was thinking about avoidance. Why do we avoid things? What is the motivation for the avoidance?
I've been hearing a lot lately about the importance of confronting those things that we are most afraid of. For me, when I hear this it translates to "Run into the burning building and save my car keys." It seems quite dangerous and ridiculously unnecessary. Why can't someone else do it? Like the fireman who is a real expert on such matters.
The truth is, why do I have to wait to move when I have the ability to do it myself?
Perhaps there are things that I find so challenging that I am not willing to be embarrassed, vulnerable or risk possibly failing. Failure however isn't messing up....failure is the avoidance of doing something for fear of failure. If I do nothing...then I certainly will fail.
With that being said....I have realized that I am not afraid of failure, but afraid of success. Which makes no sense to others. Maybe no one else can relate to me. That's okay. I will not ban you from my blog or anything...this is just where I am right now.
Today I attended the 8th Annual Poetry, Prose & Arts Festival in Pleasanton CA http://www.pleasantonarts.org/poetry_prose.html. I was surrounded with people who were so articulate, well versed in art and literature, and just incredible poets and writers. It was at some moment that I realized I was way out of my league. It was a bit overwhelming and kind of intimidating, but I refused to run out of the room. I stayed in the fire and got ideas, made connections and came away encouraged.
Will I be the next Terry McMillan or Emily Dickinson? No...I don't think so, but this event has called me out of the comfort of my own cowardice. It stirs something inside of me to stand up and let my voice be heard....even if it's by an audience of one.
Will I avoid another difficult task in my life? Probably. The issue with avoidance is this....if you don't deal with it now, you will still have to deal with it later. Who knows...perhaps it may work out better than I thought.
Till next time....
Peace
By the way...I avoided writing this post since 8/24/08. Before today, it only consisted of the first line. Now...I am dealing with my issues. LOL.

Ledisi Take Time
Ledisi is a 2 time Grammy nominee with an incredible voice. Her range is rediculous. Hope you like it. I had a chance to see her perform in concert at Yoshi's in Oakland last month and it was worth every penny spent.
Take care and enjoy

In Dream Land....Anything Can Happen
A few months back SNL did a skit on at the time President Elect Obama. I found it humorous because you never see him loose his temper. As a result SNL has made it an ongoing theme in a few of their skits. Enjoy.
I Keep it cool:
On this past Saturday this one was shown on SNL compliments of hulu.com. Hope you enjoy this little skit.
