Sketch of My Blog

Our Journey in Life is more than we allow it to be.
We must all Be Ourselves to really enjoy what's all around us.
Take hold and learn from Life and Others.

Layers

Sometimes people are layered like that. There's something totally different underneath than what's on the surface. But sometimes, there's a third, even deeper level, and that one is the same as the top surface one. Like with pie.
  - Joss Whedon, Zack Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Jed Whedon

I work in a public school full of teachers and staff.  And I have to say that this quote applies very well to the people in my school.  It actually applies quite well to the general population.  This includes myself on occasion.  Sometimes my pie is only two layers thick and other times it is only one layer thick and then there are maybe three or more layers.  I try for the most part to be only about one or two layers thick.  It takes too much work to be more than that.  I prefer to only be one layer thick as that is just being and living and does not require any work.  My wife is pretty good at living with one layer too.

Now if we can just get most of the world to live in one layer, then we can enjoy living together and getting along better.  At least I hope we can.  So there is my post for the day.  Enjoy your life and live a one layer life.

OpenOffice

Just to let anyone know.  I don't support Microsoft and their overpriced Office product.  I use OpenOffice.org and enjoy it.  It is free and works with XP, Vista and Windows 7.  Although I prefer Ubuntu Linux.  I just can't have everything I want.  So try Open Office today and see what you think.  Also they are coming up with a new version and I am looking forward to using it.

Later,
Marc

Still around just been busy...

Been busy with Vacation and other things, but I am still around.  I know I don't post much more than quotes lately, but here is one that really got me thinking.

Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be.
  - William Hazlitt

I thought this was really interesting.  It is so true that we can be stuck between what we want and what is.  We are both settled with our situation and unsettled.  We can laugh at something and cry at the same issue.  Feel happy about a day and sad at the same time.  Isn't that fascinating!  We are stuck in time can only see the present and barely glimpse the future, we learn from the past and we can have conflicting emotions at the same time.  Life is weird and wonderful!
