Weekend is to me like vacation is to ...

So is this show, Test the Nation IQ and I was expecting to do a 89% in a 100% scale. Missed some questions as it took a while to get them, but I made it to be a 85%, not so bad but not so good either! At the last page, when they showed my result, the bell of results was from 50 to 140%. Now how can someone be 140% smart???? Maybe that can be a question on it's own. If you want to take the same test, cbc.ca/testthenation

Before this show, was another one "Canada's next great Prime Minister". The judges were 4 ex liberal Prime Ministers or Ministers. So there were 3 guys and 1 girl picked from some audition tapes. There were some very good ides from the peoples in tapes that didn't make it to the stage, like: marijuana has to be legal, there has to be a match making agency controlled and organized by government! At the end of each poll, the results were close between a guy from Quebec and another English speaking young doctor. The doctor won 2 out of three polls but the french guy won the last one, the final one that gave him 50.000$. Well, I'm ok with that, he was 23 and married, spoke english and french and came from a military home. What I didn't like is that he was french! Why all the politicians of Canada has to come from Quebec? Is it true that french have the politic in the blood and they can spin the words and the situation in a way to make you angry and win by just being ... what's the word....son of b*s!
Anyway,
the most important thing about my weekend is that I started the karate class! I always wanted to be good in kicking ass, but never took it seriously. This guy that works with me, has black belt and he has classes very close to where I live. At the end of the class, I felt my legs being wick and I thought: good thing I'm driving home. By the end of the day, my legs are in so much pain that I'm holding to the rail to come up and down the stairs. Ohh... I don't see a nice Monday ahead! The teacher is not coming to work tomorrow for some personal reasons and I think he is just lucky cause I would have taken all the energy left in me, multiplied it by the pain and give him a very good kick. Take that black belt! I'm supposed to go back next Sunday... I will think more about it during the week.
And the answer of the title is: cruise captain! He does not enjoy vacation while taking care of all the people in the boat!

That Secret

So, this huge hit book, "The Secret", that explains how to be happy and have any thing you want. Because my reading time is lost, I got the movie and I thought I will get it in nutshell in a couple of hours. I like it quite a bit actually, although there is a lot of bullsh** in it. The idea is that the Universe and everything works based on the law of attraction. In order to attract something, we must use our body-brain-muscle energy in order to focus it to make that wish come true. Not bad at all! Dream about something, visualize it in your mind, if a chance to make it happen, grab it! And then, there is this part when they say "You can't change the World! Forget about the past and think about what the future can bring you" That sounds a little wrong to me.



For some reasons, it just feels to me like it's coming sealed from Bush before elections!



I would like to think like that, to base my every day in good and happy thoughts, to be a dreamer with a philosophy behind it. But what if my dream is to change the World? What if my dream is to re-live some part of my past? This secret kind of limits your dreams like that.
Now, since I am a grown up and I kind of given up on changing the World, and since I have lived my life and I have no worries about my past, I will give this theory a shot! My dream is to have 20 million dollars in a couple of years minimum and in this life time maximum! I will be very positive, I will buy Lottery tickets every time the price is 20 millions, I will say yes if a millionaire will ask me to marry him and I will help any rich person in trouble after s/he promises me to pay me back. This is my Secret and I will go and work on it, right now! I have actually bought also a T-shirt that reads "DESI(RED)" in order to attract desires (hmmm ...)
In the book they say that there is plenty of resources out there to make all of us happy. We do not desire the same things so the resources can be shared in a peaceful way. This means, you other people, dream about other stuff because I'm dreaming about money.

Loose the muse

You can tell I lost my muse somewhere last month. Nothing to write for a month... actually a lot but nothing to amuse me. It doesn't really matter what brings you the energy, but once you loose it, everything else is multiplied by zero and makes no sense.... practically, it sucks! And then I decide to watch only romantic movies so maybe they can entertain me, but all they do is make me feel even worst, ... ok I admit, I cry....To rub it more, the weather is getting so warm and nice that is almost spring. This morning I did see birds in the little tree in my front yard. As good as it might sound, there is a big bell inside my had that goes ding-dong and reminds me that I have to loose some weight before I start wearing clothes that let skin show.

So, back to the energy and muse. A couple of weeks ago I felt smart, I found this solution for a big problem around and I can tell you that being a hero it feels good. I had in my head this AC/DC song "I'm TNT, I'm dynamite...." with all the power and energy it brings. Every other problem around started feeling like it was just a question that was waiting for my answer (solution). Yeah! The down side was that the weather at those days was the worst of this winter. Snow and cold like hell.
And then it started...one day we got stuck on something that I didn't expect and I didn't have a plan on how to handle it. The other day, the testing team found out that the big solution I had two weeks ago, actually doesn't work as expected. All that energy is kind of sleeping now and although I can still find solution for other problems, it just does not feel good. All I need and want now is vacation, take some days off, re-charge my energy and get my muse back... oh.. and loose a little weight.
It looks like all I can think of is work. I have said before I'm a workaholic, but I do get my muse from other stuff too. The thing is that it does not matter what brings or takes the muse, I must push on all the options around me that can bring me the energy I lost... even if that means watching more Hugh Grant movies.
