Vacating

Hello,
I am on vacation. Well for the most part I am. My vacation started on Friday @ 6pm however I did not vacate the premises until Monday @ 7:40 pm. There is always stuff to do. Always some crisis or issue to deal with. Always some last document or email to be sent. My sisters came through and got me from NJ and we are now in MA with two of my cousins from Trinidad. Last year for the same vacation I went to New Orleans to be with my sisters and brother who is stationed there and it was the worst. Aside from being sick. My sisters seemed to be on another tip altogether. At the end of that time I really was prepared to cut them off and there was even more fallout over a shot they pulled on my after the trip and solidified my departure from them. It is only recently I've been making strides to reconnect with them and things have been going well, but as in such matters I keep a reservation. I am going to be as jovial as possible, but I wonder if I made a mistake coming. This time I mad money though, if it hits the fan I'm out. "deep sigh"
Keep ya head up

Hunting the Hidden Dimension

I love being, feeling a part of nature. I like when I come to some understanding or comprehension of it all, no necessarily my place in it all, but just that we are all linked, and we are all linked to it. As a Enviromentalist, I am always trying to get people to see and feel their connection to the world...universe. Well, a few weeks ago I was watching one of my favourite channels, PBS, when a programme about Fractals came on. The programme was called Hunting the Hidden Dimension. It was the first time I have ever heard of fractals, (sidebar: I apologize to my professors if they tried to teach me this before). I like adding and whatnot, but I have never been a Math head, but watching this documentary was got my head spinning and my imagination running.
Sometime during the programme there was a mention of a fractal antennae. Hmmm, fractal antennae you say (brainstorming chin rubbing). Me being the creative puppy that I am decide to make myself an fractal antennae. I googled, "DIY fractal antennae" and booyah the list of websites with instructions came up. Youtube had some video, but I thought they were lame. But diamond of instructions came from instructables.com. I printed out my list of supplies and trotted off across the street to Home Depot, but much to my WTF they did not have my supplies. But since I have to make a trip to Clifton anyway to the craft shop I figure I'd stop by Radio Shack. RS hooked me the freak up. I spent Saturday evening working on my fractal HD antennae, stripping wire, bending wire, drilling holes. screwing things down and together, and in the end the freaking thing WORKED. It W-O-R-K-E-D!! I was so excited and thrilled. I could not believe my luck. I made my very own working HD antenna, and it cost me less than $20. I will post post pics soon.

Thank You Ugly Betty

Ok so I guess I am late, very very late. I finally watched the final episodes of the Ugly Betty. Perhaps because I am that place in my life, but I watched those episodes with such intense reverence. The episodes were all about transformation, reinventing yourself, and pursuing your dreams. Suffice it to say, I felt like she was talking to me. Then I was watching television last night, and saw something in "vocation vacations". That seemed quited interesting, but it got me thinking, "What the freak am I doing?" "Am I on the right path?" "Am I on my path?" After the hyperventilating I feel better. Pourquoi?? I feel great, ok well not so much great, but settled. I have always known that my path was not going to be cookie cutter or ready made. My life is all about God's will, even when I am out of it. I am certain that God has a plan for me. Amazing things have been prophesied about my life and future, however there is always that nagging uncertainty that I feel haunting my every thought. I know that that space is the no trust zone I have with God. I have not completely free fallen into His arms, but I'm working on it.
