Simplified

May 29th, 2010 by Robert Seymour

 

Today with information so available, in such large volumes, it is too easy to want it simplified. And whoever can best do that for us, is who gets our attention.

This is nothing new. Cliff Notes, Wikipedia, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN. Any place that can make simple sense of what is going on. Forget the in depth details, tons of information. Confusing contradictions. Just ”simplify” it right?

Not always. Too often, by only accepting “simplified” information, we’re getting a simplified version of that information. Cliff Notes, Wikipedia, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, all represent their own “simplified” perspective.

“Simplified’s not always the best approach. That’s my take - “simplified”. What’s yours?

Meet Marty

May 27th, 2010 by Robert Seymour

Marty is the latest addition to BirdBreath. He’s living proof Extraterrestrial’s really exist. Where’s he is from? Who knows. Look for him to appear from time to time.

Every scientist imagineable has theories on the best way to make contact with one of these visitors from where ever. My suggestion? Put up a Website….

Hanging Out

May 26th, 2010 by Robert Seymour

There are always days, when the weather is too cold, wet and miserable to do anything worthwhile. Here they are usually from October to April. After that, it’s all sun and fun. Camping, swimming, hiking, fishing, cycling. All neat, exciting, outdoor things. No limit.

We expect that. We plan for it. We can’t wait. This year, mother nature extended the crummy season. Talk about frustration central. Almost like the DTs.

Soooooo….. I guess the best thing to do is just hang out….

Laughing

May 25th, 2010 by Robert Seymour

Believe it or not, laughing is actually, really good for us. 

Emotionally and physically. Emotionally, it strengthens our relationships with others. Promotes teamwork. Improves our mood. Physically, it’s a perfect stress reliever. It relaxes our body’s muscles. Decreases our stress  hormones and increases our immune cells. Improves blood flow, thus protecting our heart. Releases endorphins, a  chemical that makes us feel good.

See how good and healthy laughing is for us? That is if we’re not swallowing…..
