16 Random Facts Part 1
I've done things like this so many times it is difficult to come up with ones that you haven't read before.
I got this idea from Adamswomanback when she posted her list. You should stop by and read her's too.
Here is my list.
- There is a voodoo doll and a chicken's foot laying on the table about three feet from where I'm typing this.
- Along with the voodoo doll there is a small Buddha, some crystals, and a gnome.
- I can't leave out the crucifix and small picture of Jesus.
- Crazy thing happened yesterday. I returned an old broken TV to Best Buy. It had an extended warranty. I got a mo' better TV and an $832 store credit. Sometimes God/the universe/whatever suits your beliefs gives out presents. It was one of those days. Thanks so much!!!
- With the credit I picked up a couple of items I wanted to have for RV
living: an iPad mini for reading books, email, and social networking
and the black GoPro Hero 3 for action videos.
They advertise it as the world's most versatile camera. We'll see. - In my last blog I mentioned attending my final graduation as a
professor.
With mixed emotions I marched into the graduation exercise. When all was said and the students had paraded across the stage to receive their degrees, we marched out. I passed my regalia on to a new instructor so she wouldn't have to continue to rent an outfit each year. I left work for the day. I didn't think about it much after that until Zeal4living asked how I felt about it. His question caused a stream of thoughts. At some point along that stream it came to me that giving away my regalia was subconsciously a symbolic act which represented the 'letting go' of this role I've played for 30 years. It was an act of release. I let go of 'professorness'. As a result, I feel a renewed freedom and excitement about the new adventures that lie ahead. - I've started a new project: A second of video a day for 365 days. Now this second needs to represent my day. It could be the most important event of the day, a routine thing from my life, the most exciting event, fun event, distressing event, just something beautiful, or...you get the idea. I hope I don't miss a day. I might though. I'm using the Super 8 app on my iPhone to record the short videos. I'm using Windows Live Movie Maker for the editing.
Not that I will win an Oscar or even want to win one: $1.99 iPhone app helps filmmaker win Oscar.
