Be Yourself


022

  Too many times we seem to be a shadow of who we really are if not a reflection of those around us.
To belong and to a part of the society around us we sacrifice the uniqueness of our individuality in
order to blend in. This only limits our potential as an individual to shine and to succeed in life. Some
of the greatest human beings in our history were individuals who where true to themselves and due to
the fact they were being there selves they rose up above the crowd to do astonishing things. Just think
if Einstein , Newton and Davinci or any of the other greats would have just followed the masses and
didn’t walk to their own beat what our world would have been like. Individuality spawns great inventors,
Artists, leaders and visionaries, so be yourself and contribute your uniqueness to the world we live in.

Get Up, Get Out and Live


HPIM0318
  
I Think we all sit around way too much in front of our TV’s and
Computers now days. We need to get out doors and enjoy the
beautiful surroundings and walk, Jog , Bicycle or even go out on
the ATV. Fresh air and a bit of fun physical activity does wonders
for the spirit as much as it does for the body. So many things to do
in the spring and summer months like fishing, hiking, hunting and
camping. So many beautiful parks across the U.S.A. and other
countries we all could enjoy.

Bicycling from Evarts To Harlan


  Seems Times don’t Change Much, Just like back when i was a teen in the 80’s people still harass and throw pop bottles at Bicyclists on the road. You would think we would be past that intellectually as a species. Well besides The 2 Incidents on My Bicycle Ride it was quit Pleasant yet slightly Challenging on the return trip due to it being all up hill. A total of 20 Miles which is not very challenging for a avid Bicycler but for a 42 year old who isn’t in great shape quite a challenge on his muscles.

Even though i had 1 individual in a red Chevy mess with me on the trip I would say the majority of the people in the area hold up to their reputation as good and courteous Mountain folk. So if you are into ATV’s or Bicycling Then Evart/Harlan Kentucky is the Place to Visit. And if you are in need of a Cabin Then Stop By Buddy’s Chevron in Evarts They Will Hook you up.

 

Till The Next Time

To Kenvir and Back


Yesterday I took a ride to kenvir and back on my mountain bike, Only to find how little room there is in some areas to be riding a bike here in Harlan County Kentucky. The 8 Mile Round Trip Bike Ride was quite enjoyable besides some of the dangerous sections on the road i had to ride in order to do it. I know Bike riding is not the hot sport for this area its all A.T.V. / 4 wheelers here and sure they can ride and rarely get hit by traffic but on a bike its a bit more dangerous.
 
  Luckily most of the motorist on my trip were quite courteous and gave wide birth when able to me and my bike. I think there should be a state wide effort in making a safe bicycle and walking/Sidewalk areas in Kentucky. Really Bicycling is also a adventure sport to a degree and is far more beneficial to the health of the citizens of Kentucky.

Well I guess that I will do my best not to get hit by a car or coal truck until someone in the state government or higher sees the benefit of safe bicycle and pedestrian walk paths here in Kentucky.

 

Till next time

Sita Sings the Blues (2008) – Nina Paley


Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by email. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920’s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as "the Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told."

Time is Marching on


  Time seems to go by faster the older I get and less and less things bring me happiness. I have lost who I was an now seek for who I am and who I will be.

I need to slow down and smell the flowers and bask in the afternoon sun light. I need to appreciate the things I overlook daily. The little things like the smile of a child and the friendly voice of my love. I need to let go of my fears that weigh me down and hold on tight to my dreams for they are what make me who i am.

Time is ticking away quickly as i grow older and more and more things make me happy. I may have lost who i was, but who I am and will be is ever changing before my eyes.

I need to learn to not allow others to influence my self image in a negative way nor to allow them to change my mood. I need to realize that the every person perceives the world around them differently. I should try to see things through the eyes of others so i can understand their position or situation better.

Time is marching on as it always has and many things bring me enjoyment. I am who I am and will become what I am destined to be.
