Since I realized the amount of love I have for what happens around me in the world, I believe this is the one space where I can at least express it without waiting for somebody to listen.

My Secret Dream

Oddly my strangest desire has always been to be a voiceover for a show, or to do a voice for a Disney movie. I have always always always wanted to do something that uses my voice for something exciting such as that. Especially an animation. It is a feeling that has not gone away nor would be going away anytime soon. And no, I have not seen Kung Fu Panda....yet.

(If anybody in the television industry is reading this, you have a great candidate to provide a very pleasant voice for any voiceovers you need. My only exclusion clause would be to please not force me to sing unless you want to invest in major money retouching my harmonics and no, I will not be a phone sex operator. I am not skanky.)

Rules for Intelligence?

Did you ever grow up thinking a certain way because that was how your worldview was shaped? You were told that if people do this, they must be like this. Or you might be taught certain principles or observed thoughts that were valued by indirect means and subconciously thought that "If A happens, B will follow and if not C occurs".

Ok, I'll stop talking abstractly and move on to my point. I always somehow was told or made to think (mainly because I'm the idiot I guess) that if somebody was irresponsible, or they didn't know how to do something so simple and rational, then they must be a real idiot. For example, if you are wasting money on merchandise you don't need. Or maybe continuously parking in No Parking Zones, and racking up fines that become unnecessary (well parking once is pretty much enough, wouldn't it be?).

Anyway, I was driving back home and was thinking, I have met the most amazing and talented people I could ever find in my life. But come to think of it, they do the most irresponsibly made decisions. Just random little things. Like the whole parking example. Or they might be into some recreational mind enhancers (do you like that? I came up with it myself).

These people have some really bright, wise, and ingenious things to say......but have faults like the most common person you know! I don't know why this somehow is puzzling to me, or how that makes the person seem any less valid.

But I'm glad I had the insight to be able to think a little bit about it so I can question it. We can't all be perfect.
