Facial Hair

One thing that I love completely, is human behavior.

I'm pretty sure I've already written about this plenty of times, but it's a big deal with me. If you have the smallest movements when listening, I can tell how you are feeling. The way your seated position is, your walking stature, and your image of clothing. Your handwriting tells who you are best. All of it. Even facial hair on men.

One thing that's been standing out a lot to me is facial hair.

I hate Hate HATE!!!! facial hair.

Have you ever seen two men with the same facial hair get along and into a well lit conversation?

The beard shows that a man is a family man. Family is important to the person. When he is around other people, he's most likely going to be the mascot or the father figure of the group. If he encounters a man with a beard, they will most likely reminisce about the good old days or talk about how their children have changed. It is rare that you will see them hang out together and laugh together.

Getting to less hair, the goatee. Ever seen a male goat around other male goats? It can get brutal. That's the same with men and a goatee. Men with goatees are more control centered, the alpha male, as it were. They have to have things their way otherwise it's wrong. Now I ask, ever seen two men with goatees have a well lit conversation? Most likely they are going to joke about the way the other or younger people do things. They're most likely always going to think that they are right too!

Now, the petit goatee. Know what that is? That is where the hair is just on their chin. These men are competitive people. They are trying to prove something. When these men collide, don't count on either of them backing off. One will dominate surely, but the other won't be silent. These two have hard conversations. One will dominate the conversation and "prove" to be the better one, whether that be they have a more fun character or they are funnier than the other. Either way, if they both have petit goatees, they won't converse much.

From the chin to the bottom of the lip, the soul patch. Who comes to mind when you think of a soul patch? Maybe a cartoon image of the devil? Most likely, the man with a soul patch would fit that image. He is most likely to be deceitful or a manipulator. This can be both positive and negative in extremes. I rarely see these nowadays.

Moving on up, the mustache. Mustaches can look so refined and polished if one is able to pull it off. Well, mustaches are great for single men. It shows that they aren't afraid to face opposition and they tackle their issues head on. This means that they will be very opinionated, but they might not share it much.

Now to the side, sideburns. Sideburns are the weirdest "facial hair" possible. If you count it facial hair, then cool, because I would. Facial hair shows that a man is undecided of "who" he wants to be. This is the man whose opinions are always challenged and he takes that personally. If you see men with sideburns talking, they'll most likely be asking each other questions of "what else" could be out there.

Am I talking about anybody you know yet?

Finally, the shaved. No facial hair, to me, is the best. Why? This man who does not have facial hair can be one of two things. The funnest or the worst person to be around. They are the most diversified person. They don't like to hide themselves. Hence, no facial hair. You'd think this would be the family man face. They tend to show their emotions a lot or be more animated and loud. They can be fun fun FUN! or very aggressive. Like a child. These men, you will see converse a lot. Because they have the childlike outgoing attitude. Although, men with facial hair most likely will have a hard time conversing with them.

Carbon Fiber Umbrella

I was talking with a new buddy of mine, Trevor, today.


We had a conversation about Mary Poppins and what it would be like to glide using an umbrella.
At MCC we have these table that have metal umbrellas on them.


We then, in our very limited intelligence, tried to figure out how to conceptualize an umbrella that would make this Mary Poppins fable possible.


We figured that metal wouldn't do any good so we said it should be carbon fiber.
He said it should be like a corkscrew design. Then he wanted it to rotate so he wouldn't lose control.


Then changing direction became an issue.


So he said, if he put a corkscrew design on the bottom, that would help.


I said, "NO! NO WAY! If you want to change direction at a good pace, then you're going to need something that would create friction, not minimize it. You're gonna need some electrograviticpropulsion."


He gave me a confused face and replied, "What?"


"Electrograviticpropulsion! So you can split the gravity around you with electricity and be able to move in any direction that you want. You can even stand still if you wanted to."


"How on earth would I be able to do that."


"Just get some enriched uranium." I said with a calm voice.


"Where am I going to get uranium?"


"No, enriched uranium."


"Okay, where am I going to get enriched uranium?"


"You get enriched uranium from uranium."


"Ba-what?! I just asked where do you get enriched uranium and your answer is uranium?"


"Yes."


"Then where do you get uranium."
I became silent and started to laugh. Our friend Lamech walked over and got into our "oh so intelligent" conversation. He said, that he wouldn't be able to even hold on. Trevor replied, "I can just use clips."


I rebutted in a voice of audacity with, "You can't use clips!!!! You'll get stuck to it and won't be able to escape from it if something bad happens. You should use rope with a suicide wrap." XD My favorite part. I barely knew what the suicide wrap was and said it was better when I'm pretty sure it isn't.


They then got off topic and started talking about something else. I then bluntly just said, "Enriched uranium." and laughed and walked off.


The best part of leaving with a loud last sentence is seeing how many people were listening to our conversation.


I love people.

So this is Spring Break

You know,

I've always been that kind of person who has big plans for spring break. The one who will "change" over the break and come back with a story to tell.

Psh. Yeah right!!!!

I've had plans, big ones even, but I've always had that problem of following through with it.

I never do.

It's difficult.

The only thing I've done this spring break is bowl.

Not even real bowling either, just *sigh* Wii bowling.

It all started out with a BB-Q.

The praise team got together for some fellowship time and I was invited.

Apparently I "run" the sound. *Nods head in disagreement*

Well, I went still.

I needed it.

It was fun at first, but then my brother became the hot topic of the night.

What a way to murder! relaxation.

He likes attention though.

He tries to act like he doesn't, but he likes it. A lot!
And it shows. A LOT!!

Yes, I'm sick and tired of being the back story because they all think he's the best and all that.

I hate living in his shadow and I never get recognized for my talents, just statements of how people can't keep up with me on a bike. Psh, I'm more than a cyclist!

I run too. . .

Apparently running is a big talent too. *Rolls eyes*

I wish there were more athletes around here.

You know, accountability and stuff.

So, after going off on a lot of tangents, back to the bowling.

We had a tournament that night for Wii Sports Bowling.

It was cool.

I ranked sixth out of eight.

WOOF! SUCH VICTORY! I WASN'T LAST!

I was third to last. . .

After that night, I've had this Wii Sports Bowling Fever!

Ugh, such stuff to drool about.

I love it so much.

So far, this spring break, like all others for me, is boring and a waste of time.

You should tell me about your spring break.

I'll have you know

These past two weeks I've been messing with twisting balloon animals. I've gotten to the point where I've done plenty of animal twisting and have run out of ideas.

I'll have you know that it has become depressing to twist a balloon now.

I've made plenty of things and have even redone a few of my twists. I've made a dolphin, scorpion, stegosaurus, dog, cat, tiger, parrot, elephant, monkey, 2 types of dragons and 2 kinds of swords. What else is there to make? A T-rex? Done that. Even so that it has eyes and teeth. Hows that for fancy? What about an Apatosaurus? Done that.

I don't want to make people because that's boring. Where's the fun in that? You see people everyday. It's not every day you get to see a penguin. Done that. Yeah you see flowers everyday too, but not many colorful ones in Arizona. Done that. A cactus you say? Boring, that's like making a banana, a hot dog, a pickle, a squash, or a hyphen. Not interested and I'm pretty sure nobody else is too.

What about non animal things? Well. . . I've done a heart. I don't have enough balloons to make R2D2. I certainly don't want to make a camera. Balloon hats aren't very fun. Nobody likes to wear them.

It's taken so long to think about this that my cereal has gotten soggy.

Got any balloon ideas?

Balloons

Have you ever gotten balloon animals when you were a child?

I never got one so I decided to make my own.

I started years ago and failed constantly. I always put to much air and didn't know that there should always be space at the end.

I recently got into it because I was going to do some animal twisting for my sister's birthday. I failed at that too.

Again, trying to be so much of an inspiration to my niece, I wanted to be able to do it at her birthday party. 

Her big party day came and I had accomplished the simple animals. Ones the children might have thought of. Monkey, Swan, Flower, Heart, Elephant, Tiger, and 3 types of dogs.

Then a friend decided to blurt out, "I want a dragon, with flames coming out of it's mouth. You should get on that."

I had fulfilled everybody else's balloons and then she had to leave. So I didn't get to give it to her.

Then, today, my sister asked if I could make a balloon Yoshi from Super Mario Bros.

I found a picture and got creative. Which was hard! I have no creativity whatsoever! If you've ever talked to me, you know what I'm talking about.

It took me a little over an hour to complete the balloon Yoshi. SO MANY MISTAKES AND WRONG TWISTS. But he was finally accomplished and I feel good about it.

What a project for this President's Day.

The horse jockey

Today wasn't the average day for me.

I got up and nobody was really awake. Either that or they were looking for my sister's dog. He had gotten out of the backyard somehow. My oldest sister found him and brought him back home.

All day I was either watching Seabiscuit or editing videos.

I'm so tired of the terrible audio from the new HD camcorder. So lame.

I've waited to late to write this and the thoughts of today are leaving my brain.

It was my brother's birthday today. He's gotten enough attention from it so that's all I say about that.

I went to his training today. I filmed him with two HD camcorders. The first one I used a lot and it looked fine on the camera. The pictures and the videos I took looked fine. The second one I knew would have better sound quality and the video wouldn't be as great. Turns out, they are both terrible! So terrible. I'm upset by it. All of the awesome riding he and Alex did looked cool! But NO! The cameras have to have a mind of their own.

And so the sky speaks

Last night, nerds like me and hopeful people stayed up to watch the lunar eclipse. I filmed it because it was a neat experience. The footage wasn't the best though. The camera couldn't really capture the lunar eclipse because clouds had gotten in the way. Did anybody else see this wonderful event?

For me, seeing the lunar eclipse reminds me of how the sky can speak to us. Around this Christmas time last year, Venus and Jupiter came very close and made what looked to be a bright star. It was the closest they have been since 2 B.C.

Does that remind you of anything? That's right, the Messiah's star! You might know it as the star of Bethlehem.

Have you ever wondered about the Messiah's star? You see Christmas light decorations of the nativity being displayed with a star. Was it real?

The star wasn't really a star. It was Jupiter and Venus together in retrograde motion. The Bible has a different classification than today's classification of things. Everything in the water is a fish. Everything in the sky is a bird. Everything on land is a land animal. Simple yes? Not only that, but the sky was classified too. The sun and the moon are the only bodies in space that are differentiated. The rest are called stars. Planets and stars fell under the same category.

There were actually two stars. First was when Regulas, the king star, was crowned by Jupiter, the king planet. Jupiter went into retrograde motion placing a sort of crown over Regulas. This signaled for the wise men to set out to find the Christ. They were magi and not kings. Then Jupiter went onward to dance with Venus. The mother planet. The magi had made it to Jerusalem and saw the star stop. Stars don't just stop, but these two dancing planets stopped. They were in retrograde motion.

Retrograde motion is really simple. If you see when you're in a car as you pass another car, the car being passed isn't standing still, but it sure does look like it. That's retrograde motion.

The following will lead you to the site where it is better explained.
