We have choices ...

I mentioned in my previous post, the meaning of life is in the pursuit of the meaning of life ...do i need to explain it a little further? Let's see ...

Knowledge -- man, how does one define knowledge <---hint, click here <---
Intelligence -- putting it all together
Wisdom -- applying it

We can put it in a roleplaying format: the more knowledge you gain and use that knowledge, the more intelligent you get; thus, the more you practice everything you learn and how certain things work together or don't work together, the better you get at applying it. And then there's charisma, but not now.

Or the creation view with the tree of life and tree of knowledge of good and evil ...in that case, life being the pursuit of life (meaning of life), and knowledge being the sudden epifany (did i spell that right?) that one has a choice of 'good' and 'evil.'

We have choices ...

Although faith has played a very instrumental role in my pursuit, I don't claim a religion. I understand much about faith and socio-alliance structures, but do not align with any one system. In a sense, I have used religion to 'see the big picture.' I do believe that ALL the 'parts' of the globe/world are integral to all of what was, is, and is to come. I believe its in the correlation of and desire for truth and answers from history that will prepare us for EVERYTHING that is to come, and whats next on the horizon. In school, I remember classes being referred to as lessons ...history lessons: Did we learn anything?

The American society has absolutely no reason to be behind the bar on so many levels. In this wonderfully crafted democratic society we proudly call home, we have the access to vast volumes and libraries and resources of just about everything, yet we piddle potential away with convenience, comfort, and complacency. Saying we're proud as Americans isn't as loud as taking pride in being American. Being the leading example of all human potential is at our feet, but we trample over it for the sake of convenience, comfort, and complacency.

A philosophy of mine is 'Life is a quest with an undefined beginning, and an undefined end. To know where it goes, one must find the origin.' I believe it to be possible through correlative inspection to find the 'origin,' thus finding truth. To borrow a cliche from a mainstream faith, the truth will set us free. Somewhere, globally, mankind got way off course and followed tangents rather than truth. Greed soon reared its ugly head, and now we're in the pickle of a lifetime. I believe we can find the origin, find the truth, see where we are, and make way for where we're going ...but not until we take pride in being Americans ...take pride in being human. Our choices direct our paths; every action has an opposite and equal reaction; every decision comes with consequences.

There is a MIGHTY change coming to this globe; I believe we can all be ready, and we can all play an integral part in how things shape for the future.

My 2nd Blog

So now I'm thinking, as i've navigated through other posts on blogger, "how am i going to bring in some traffic ...without sending out a bunch of annoying spams to people i know?"

I haven't really seen the traffic on blogger/blogspot that would induce a possible accidental stop on my blog. maybe i will go post to some forums and stuff and just introduce myself to others in the community of voices.

I've actually had fun so far. I think this will be great, mainly because i have so much in my head, but i'm somewhat the procrastinator. and i usually forget what i was gonna say or do by the time i get around to saying or doing it.

learn something, do something, go somewhere

Tampa Fl

There is so much i could go in to about my recent trip to Tampa, Fl. Wow, i had a great time.

As i've mentioned before, I'm a glazier. We just got a tempering furnace and we needed to send some samples of our glass to a testing lab for certification so we can sell the glass. My boss wanted me down there to see the testing so we know firsthand and right away the process and conclusion of testing our tempered glass. were those last two sentences run-on sentences?

anyway, so my boss sends me and a driver in a company truck with a load of glass and company money to Tampa for two nights. There was very little work to be done; just unloading the glass at the test site.

the mall was cool. our location was cool. the testing was simple, although took much longer than we originally had understood. then our boss came down.

Hard Rock casino, Mons Vinis ...! OMG! so much fun! i would have to go into detail in order to explain this stuff, and i'm not sure if this is the place to do that; but i will say there are some extremely beautiful girls in Tampa and the surrounding area.

Then on the way out on the third day, our boss says, "mandatory lunch stop" at Club Risque on Hwy 75. Well, he said mandatory. Wow! ...and the food was good, too.

Go Somewhere

There is this restaurant

Not sure why, but i can't remember the name of the restaurant right now. Maybe i'll remember by the end of this post.

Anyway, three others and myself were sent to a job site in gulfport, ms. we were setup at the imperial palace, cuz it was like a 3-4 day job. well ...we're at the imperial palace ...let's play. we gotta eat. needless to say we did have fun.

To move on ...lol
Theres this restaurant in the Imperial Palace; second floor i believe. now, i don't make a lot of money, so what i played with was little, and had little to eat on (meaning nothing extravagant). so, one night we checked out this restaurant. i had looked at the menu just prior and noticed that their prices were REALLY GOOD for a casino restaurant around here. Including tip i spent $13. Not bad. But now i bring you to the food ...WOW!

i'm not really a food critic by any means. i just like to eat what i like to eat. That was one of the best restaurant burgers i have ever had. and i eat a lot of burgers ...but i'll pay for it then, not having to wait til wednesday. Second only to Roshelle's (spell check) Cafe in Mobile, AL. The atmosphere was relaxing. The staff great. Timing great. Taken care of. Eat a burger in this restaurant, losing a lot of money on the tables won't hit so hard. When i was sitting there by myself one night eating the 'High Tide' burger, i had a moment. I wanted everyone to come here and check this place out. You'll love it.

oh yeah, i think its called "High Tide." Second floor at the Imperial Palace in Biloxi, MS.
