While I was chatting to a friend he asked me if I wanted to see a trick.
"Go on then," I said, "I love tricks!"
He took an elastic band from the desk and then hid his hands under the desk to hide the elastic in one hand. I knew he was expecting me to guess which hand it was in. I was determined to win by influencing my friend's decision. I expected the elastic band to be in his right hand. More >

"The more things change the more they stay the same." -- Quark
Times, they are changing. Today America voted its first black American president.
I see Obama's election from two perspectives, however: from the dream and from Reality.
What do I mean by the dream? I believe all forms and ideas are inherently empty i.e. they are free of concepts, beliefs and meanings. For instance if I hear a dog barking, I can either hear it as a dog barking, or I can make up reasons why the dog is barking. I experience that meaning in my own consciousness. Life is what I believe it means for me. In other words, I'm constantly making things up as I go along and joining with like-minds who share my meanings. When I'm making things out of nothing, I am dreaming. More >

I was speaking to my mother about learning to touch-type. She said after she finished school she attended a technical college where she was taught to touch-type on a manual typewriter. She said their teacher made them master particular keys before they moved on to the next and the next.
"At least you had the luxury of time to learn," I said. "I actually learned to touch-type in about four hours."
"That's amazing! How?"
"I borrowed a friend's typing manual and learned from there." More >

I have a BIG confession to make. I suffer from "Pink Cloud" Syndrome also known as people who live in Cloud-Cuckoo Land. Because of this syndrome, I tend to see everything with optimism or with Love's vision.
Once a week I attend the Pink Cloud Syndrome Anonymous group meeting where I get to meet with and share experiences with other sufferers. Here's what I shared in last night's meeting.

During my bus journey, I noticed a sign in front of a 99 pence store that was offering 10% discount for every £100 spent.
Let me just do some mental arithmetic here. Please bear with me as maths isn't my strong point. It actually took me three attempts to pass my Maths GCE O'Level exams. So if someone spends £100 at the 99 p store, you end up with 101 items with a penny change. Kerching! More >
