Quick story....I was driving home from work tonight, and I was coming upon a part in the highway where the right two lanes merged into one. It should be noted that this stretch of highway is not in a high-traffic area. I was about a half car length in front of another car as the lanes began to merge when, to my consternation, the guy starts to creep up. He doesn't gun it and pull right in front of me. Instead, he slowly inches up until we almost get into an accident and then he gooses it and pulls in front of me. My response....I PUT ON MY DIRECTIONAL AND TOOK MY EXIT!! As I veered onto the ramp I gave pause at his creativity. Where most people would have gradually slowed their vehicle by easing off the accelerator and then merging in behind me, our subject, despite all reason, decided that he needed to create a dangerous driving scenario so that he could get in front of me. End result...I take my exit, he gets blogged and he is approximately 0.5 seconds ahead of where he would have been had he decided to acknowledge that he, in fact, does not own the road. The incident left me wondering, "What is it about some people that drives them to 'win' when there is no game being played?"

Anyway, I didn't actually spend that long thinking about him, it's just that thoughts flash through the mind much quicker than they rattle onto the keyboard. A few notes about my blog now that I have your attention. Once in a while the creative well runs a little dry, so I can't promise to post regularly. Also, if you're reading the blogs, feel free to join the fray by clicking on the post comment button below the entry and shares your thoughts. As many of my thoughts aren't relevant, yours don't need to be either. I'm really looking for quantity here...not necessarily quality.

Quote on the wall of a dorky guy at work: "There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't"

I speak dork so allow me to explain that the number 2 converted into binary is 10.

I should go....

26 and all is well....

The earth is in the same place that it was 26 years ago when I was born, at least in relation to the Sun that is. Technically, the Sun revolves around the center of the galaxy, much like the earth revolves around the Sun and the moon revolves around the Earth. Taking this one step further, no living thing on this planet will ever occupy the same "space" twice in their life as the amount of time it takes for our solar system to revolve around the galactic center is much longer than the lifespan of any earth-bound creature. It really is easy to feel small in a universe that big.

Birthdays shouldn't be a time to assess one's own minscule impact on the affairs of celestial bodies in motion, but rather, it should be a time to reassess one's decisions and where they have led him to this point. Each passing day dulls the grandeur of yesterday's dreams and we accept less than we had previously hoped for with a more idealistic heart. Maybe. It could all be a trap. Maybe that's what distinguishes great people from role-players. Maybe great people are just better able to remember their dreams. Maybe. Maybe it's that great people don't waste time determining what typifies a great person...hmmm.

Whether a result of annual soul seraching or just a timely coincidence, I've noticed a renewed discontent at my own pursuit of traditional success. So whether it's taking a class, volunteering or spending more time on other pursuits, I think it's time to take some action and stop wasting my time thinking of all the good reasons not to take a chance.

Babbling over...Seacrest, out!

I took this online quiz...supposed to tell you what kind of soul you are.

You Are a Prophet Soul

You are a gentle soul, with good intentions toward everyone. Selfless and kind, you have great faith in people. Sometimes this faith can lead to disappoinment in the long run. No matter what, you deal with everything in a calm and balanced way. You are a good interpreter, very sensitive, intuitive, caring, and gentle. Concerned about the world, you are good at predicting people's feelings. A seeker of wisdom, you are a life long learner looking for purpose and meaning. You are a great thinker and communicator, but not necessarily a doer. Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul
