Navigation

My profs car is cool. She took us out and was explaining how the stuff worked.

I love and need a rear camera because I can never see what I need to see when I am backing up anyway.

The only thing is that I think I would be distracted with the navigation system, because it shows the car location on the street but you kind of have to know your way, or else it will surprise you at the last minute with a turn here thing...

So......

E sent me this link and it was good that she did.
I love this guy as an actor but didn't realize that he was doing Calvin Klein ads as well.

Picture personality

My Picture Personality Results




Temperament
Flexible

Nothing seems to bother you - you sail through life crisis free. It's not that your life doesn't have its ups and downs, it's just that you handle everything without unnecessary drama and antics. You approach each day fresh, not worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. You are confident that you can handle anything that comes your way and experience has shown that you are absolutely right about this.

Interests
Simple

You are continually pursuing a simpler and less complicated life - you don't allow yourself to fall victim to all of the "should do's" that society continually bombards you with. You are thoughtful about your life choices and think in terms of yourself, others and the world in which we live. You have a great sense that we are part of something much bigger and we must be good to others, if we want others and the world to be good to us.

Amusement
Thoughtful

You are easily stressed out and overwhelmed - you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Because you tend to be self reflective, you know your limits quite well and must remember to not exceed those limits. When you overwhelm your life with obligations and responsibilities, you tend to shut down and go into yourself even further. Take some time to find your serenity and kick back your feet.

Passion
Emotional

For you passion is less about romance and sex - it's more about friendship and family. Strong emotional bonds and connections are your passion and your pleasure. You always let your loved ones know how much you love, respect and admire them. You do this through kind words, loving actions and simple gestures. You count your blessings each day and express your love openly. You expect the same from others

We were just thinking UK!

Then this happens!!!!!

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well.

Yeh it's christmas

So we went to the park and just hung and talked.

They played tag for a while and we took a bunch of pics.

Walking the dark place was cool because my Twilight Zone mind kept thinking "something's gonna happen"

I had a good time but now I am so tired.
Tomorrow night is gonna be hectic.
One thing after another

Some art thing and Java Manouche!!!!!!!

OMG this was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok so most of the art didn't really move me except for three pieces

This was cool

This


Then this


The best part of the night was Java Manouche the Gypsy Jazz band.
OMG.
Sooo good. I would go anywhere these guys play just to hear them.
I sat in the front and just stared and kinda chair danced a little. The first couple of songs sounded more European gypsy.

Then a few others sounded more like Black sharecropping fiddling and guitar...

The violin and guitars gave sharper sounds and the bass fiddle mellowed it all out.

At one point the Bass fiddle guy used the bow instead of strumming and the bass fiddle sounded like a horn.
That was one of the best performances I have been to in a while.
Then the mom of one of the guys in the band, gave me her card, and asked me to send her the pics I had taken...

No problem.. :)

The Great Debaters

"We do what we have to do so we can do what we want to do."

Denzel Washington


And
From Oprah.com
In the film, Forest Whitaker plays James Farmer Jr., a role he says brought him closer to his grandfather. Fifty years ago, Forest says his grandfather founded a church in the same part of the South where the film is set.

"It was an opportunity to get a chance to try to pay homage to this kind of a man," he says. "There's a sternness. There's a certain way of raising kids because of the environment and what can happen to them. It was a great chance to get to do that."

Denzel says he told Forest not to make his character "too nice," because he was from a generation of African-American fathers who were strict with their children. This parenting method was adopted, in part, to protect children from the hostile racial climate of the 1930s.

"It's love but it's different," Forest says. "As you can see in the movie, if you take the wrong step, you know, you can die."

In one scene, Denzel says Forest captures this intensity without saying a word. He simply gives the young man playing his son a look. "This guy can act right here," Denzel says.

I can't wait to see this film.

Through the looking glass

This is what happens


Then...

At midnight..I think

This is how it looks.....
It was cloudy

Picking

So you go to this site pick a picture and that says something about you ...in my CASE they were right :)


Introspective

Sensitive

Reflective

You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality; you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But your relationships with your friends are highly intensive, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony that you need in order to feel good. However it is no problem for you to be alone for extended periods of time, without becoming bored.
