Ordinary day

Obamaphilic?

A week after the inauguration, I find writing this entry somewhat irrelevant. Enough has been said and done. However, I choose to share my thoughts on Obama's reign to this day. For billions of people, President Barack Obama is seen as the savior from the current recession. Americans trust him with the responsibility of salvaging the global meltdown, alleviating discrimination based on social class, color, and sexual preference, and promoting democracy. He is believed to hold the key to change, facilitating ideas that there is hope for peace, progress, and equality. From an etic perspective, however, I fear that disappointment may arise. So much hope has been spread that even a slight deviation from what was promised might lead to disbelief and disgust. All I’m saying is that I hope President Obama is not giving false hopes and that, with the support of his constituents, he can address the challenges facing his country and the world.

Right Brain VS Left Brain Test

This is interesting... got this from PerthNow. >>> Look at the dancer... Observe whether you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise. According to experts, if clockwise, it means you have a dominant right side of the brain and vice versa. "Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction, see if you can do it." LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking
