I would say boredum is the biggest distration for me. I know it sounds weird, but it is. Especially if I'm just sitting at home, I have to leave if I want to get anything done because I see something at home I'd rather be doing then work, like get the next thing on a video game, or sit and watch a movie, or even just sit and watch the same thing on TV. But, I think I'm getting better just typing out this blog because it lets me think to myself I should be doing something better like working on my writing, or exercising. So, I guess the best cure for boredum is to know you could be doing something better; therefore, getting away from the simple things that distract us. That's why they distract us so much because they are "simple", it's something easy we don't need to think about to much or work to hard at.

I just wrote something in my own personal journal about this topic, so I figure I may as well share a little bit about it. As of right now I do not feel like I am in perfect balance, I would like to be, but I just always feel like I'm in some sort of pain. I know that sounds grim, but do not worry I have high hopes and I believe that will change sometime soon. As I said, I am not in balance right now, my body definitly feels like it is misaligned and I feel like my neck and my head alway ache. I know I need to go see a chiropractor soon to fix that, but I'm waiting for my insurance at work to kick in to cover some of the cost. My mind seems to be out of balance as well because it just seems hard to focus on anything when my head hurts. One thing I have realized ever since I have moved is that when the body is weakened the mind follows with and vise versa.

I find our ancient history very mysterious. We know a lot of what is now, and what is soon to come, but do we really know what was here way before all of us. Who built the pyramids? Was there an ancient city of Atlantis? Where did the Mayas go? What is Stonehenge's real purpose? These are just a few questions dealing with our ancient history that we haven't even found real answers to, and may never even find them because in time history destorys them all. All we have to live on are our stories, and hope they come to someone later in the future and that it teaches them something of their own time. Much of how the stories that we were told as children have influenced us in one way, shape, or form.

What I find interesting in people is what kind of personality they have. I don't even care if it conflicts with mine, it just makes the conversation that much more interesting. Also, I would say the way they talk about something. Sometimes you can talk to someone and they have no idea what they are talking about, I guess I would say anyone I can have an intelligent conversation with definitly draws me toward them.

Ah, one of those questions we are always trying to find the answer to. What is the meaning of it all, I'm just going to die anyway, right? Well, I don't think I've ever seen this as something right to say. Everyone has meaning, they just have to find it first. I believe the meaning to my life is people. They bring meaning to my life in so many ways. The people I've known, the people I've met, and the people I will meet, all give me purpose in life. Without my friends and family I am all but an empty shell, wandering the planet without meaning. They give me strive and determination to give life my all because they are who I live for. Without people in your life what is there to wake up to, what would give this world it's color and shape.

Life brings me joy. Anything and everything in it brings me joy. The good times, the bad times, and everything in between. I consider myself a kind of philosopher, so just taking the time to soak up all that is within this life brings me joy. It brings me joy because it is always changing, nothing is the same, ever. I'm not a religious guy, but I know I don't need a God to appreciate the kiss of a summer breeze, the laughter of children, the warmth of a hug, and the blueness of the sky. Sometimes I think that is why people don't see things in great light because we are all just to worried about what's next. The feeling that I have accept what is to come and see to it how I see fit is amazing to me. If someone wants joy, they need not look for money, a vacation, or anything of the like, just look at think about all that has been accomplished to make Earth home, and see that we can keep going, we've been doing it for this long. That's what brings me joy, seeing life, and knowing I am here to witness it all with my eyes wide open.

What have I been searching for? Don't we all ask that to our selves a lot in our lifetime. We all just trying to find purpose and meaning in this vast universe we call life, but do we ever find what we are searching for, or do we just add a new thing to search for when we have found the one before. I believe we are always searching, it's in our blood, it's in our nature as human beings to find something more than we already have; whether it be knowledge, a friend, a lover, or even dare I say money. We are always searching, but I'm not saying it is a bad thing, it's actually very good that we never find what we are ultimately looking for, as they say Rome wasn't built in a day. We should take time to find what we want to search for and also look beyond what we need to search for. Do you think Edison just stopped at the stock ticker, no he had several better inventions that helped the world grow. You think Picasso stopped working after he complete "Guernica", no he went on to create other great works of art. Anyway, (I tend to ramble) I feel we should always be searching for something great because when you find it, it opens your mind and your lifes path to many other great searches and finds.
Also, I guess I should answer the question. What am I searching for? A better me I guess, I'm always on a search for knowledge, and someday I hope to teach that knowledge to others. And as of right now I believe I'm on a search to find a girlfriend (so far that's just not being found), and to find myself as well, but I guess we are always on a search to find ourselves aren't we?
