You may wonder what it is about…, what we need or need not to do. My thoughts were inspired from something small and insignificant at first sight. It was the metal cranes art I saw. Just think about it. Who needs a metal cranes art? It is something without any practical value. No one needs this in particular in order to survive or make his/her life easier. And more I even do not like how this piece looks like. I am sure others will agree with me, while some may not. The point is that this item is something with very narrow field of implication – to please someone’s eyes. And this is what is important in this case. It is ugly by me. If it is ugly then should it be made at first place? I am convinced it should. The creation is this that brings us closer to God, or Mother Nature or whatever people might call it. Even creating something not everyone would like is an act of unimaginable magnitude. The ability to create something new is the greatest gift of all that mankind will ever have. Should we do it to create anything, even useless or ugly items? Yes, yes and yes. It is the greatest thing in Universe – the Creation itself.

I am not a keen on fishing but I like to go out in the nature some weekend. I have fishing rods prepared just for the case in my garage. I have seen some movies about fishing and I must tell you in these movies they catch fish but it is not something that common man like me can do. I had never repeated the success they show in those movies. I can catch a fish or two maybe even ten but I can not repeat what they show. I do the same thing as in the movies. I use the same approach, but the results are not the same. Then why they do these movies – maybe just to boast.

My wife buys gifts when we go somewhere. She considers this to be her obligation. I tried to make a hint several times that at least we should consider the idea of discussing between us what to buy, but with no success at all. And she totally lacks imagination when she buys something. For instance last time we were visiting one relative she picked the same western metal decor she had bought for our home. She never tries to seek for something original. She copies without any shame. This saves time she claims. I think this is not the case but who I am to judge…

Meat is nice. Meat is nutritious. It makes people strong. Is it so? I believe it is. But which meat? Wild game cooked right after the animal is killed is good meat. What about meat that they sell on the market? I am not sure it is the best for your health. For sure it is good to eat this meat rather than starving, but I doubt it is the best food for you. They mask its bad qualities behind colors, salt, spices and all kind of additives. I doubt if you see the real color and taste of the meat you eat(its own only without any “improvements”), again I doubt that you eat is so willingly.

My son has a bear metal wall art in his room. I bought it yesterday for him, because he likes bears a lot. He is the “bear” guy. I don’t mind him calling this way. I only fear when he grows up not not to become a “beer” boy instead, like his father. It is good to take examples from animals. They are active day and night to find food to exist. They are no lazy like us people and especially men. I think people had invented the laziness and men in particular had taken a major part in this. And they have also invented the beer to aid them in the never ending quest to find new ways of expressing how lazy they can be.
 
No doubt you know about the breakthrough with the nanotechnologies. Scientists believe there is a great future in this filed of science and its implication in human’s life. I am most certain these nano-things really shall have an implication. What concerns me though is how dangerous this may be. Nanotechnologies are not widely spread in the nature. If we human start mas production of items with nano-coverings it is imminent that in this case nano-dust will appear. Very tiny particles will certain qualities be released in the environment. What about then? What will happen with this dust? It can not be controlled or captured by filters. Virtually it can go anywhere and interact with everything. Does this not bother you?

What is Kokopelli? To be honest and tell you the truth I haven’t the slightest idea what this might be. I had not and I still am not having. But I have a kokopelli metal wall decor at home and to be honest I like it most from all my other wall decorations. I have bought it a weak ago. I thought it would be interesting to know more about this particular art but as you know life is hasty and I have no time digging about stuff. It looks good, I like it and that is all I need. It would be great to know what Kokopelli is but maybe some other time when I am not so busy…

What we see from the trees is the lesser part. In fact the roots of most of the trees are more massive and spread in a wider area than the head. I always imagine trees with the trunk and the head while there is a lot more hidden below the ground. I never thought of it in this way, but actually I know only half (or less than a half) of something yet I represent it in my mind as a whole. It crossed my mind that we people treat many problems the same way as we imagine in our mind the trees. What is behind the surface we fail to see, but we think that we know very well the problem and that we have a real perspective about it. Yes I know they are roots but trees are trunk and head. We have the same approach towards everything. Often there is much more to be seen than this shown on the surface but we forget about this simple fact. Strange thoughts but true…

People used to be tougher and better than today’s generations. Now we are spoiled. I say “we” because I include myself into this number. Life is easy today. I can’t remember ever being starving. I remember in my childhood I have many toys and still I wanted more. When I think now children used to have one rag doll and this was their only toy. I eat what I want. I sleep when I want and I go where I want, in my free time of course.  But I know I am soft and spoiled by our modern society. I doubt if I face the difficulties my ancestors used to overcome in their life, that in this case I would not be able handle the situation as they used to do it. And because of this I have one western metal wall art in my room and I keep it to remind me for these old sturdy fellows that made our lives easy today not so long ago.

I am unemployed since four months. If I speak the truth I need to confess I went through hell these last months. I had some savings but I watched them melted like a snow in the spring. I was desperate I am failing to take care for my family and I had the worst depression in my life. One week ago I had a job offer. To be honest it is a job I even don’t want to mention about but it is a job and it pays money for the bills at least. So I took the job offer. During this last week I have calls from 5 more jobs and they are much better than this one I took the offer. Now again I am facing a challenge. I am at cross road and I don’t know which way to take. They are at least 3 positions from these calls I want to take. Now from the bottom where I was I feel like I am flying high in the skies. But I fear this flight not to be a short one and when I fall I fear not to crush myself into the ground. I need to make the right decision but I find it hard to choose which one is it.
