Vunderfull Vezzer Ve are Aving

Hey guys. Thought I'd check in and let you know that I'm not dead. I've been out of town for a bit and too busy to sit down and write out a blog post but here I am!

Smiling Melanoma Machine

I don't know what witchcraft is causing this weather but it's been like summer the past week. Nothing like breaking out the patio furniture in the middle of march. I'm not complaining though! I'll be back to my regular fantastic blog posting later on this week so I hope I haven't lost you forever because I've been gone for a week. Seriously though, how shallow can you be? Do you not love me enough to stand by me in my time of need?

That's it for now! I'll see what I can do about posting something tomorrow... Ciao!

Hello World!

So in the last 48 hours I have had people visit my blog from Canada, America, Ireland, Ukraine, UK, Russia, Germany and Japan. Wow that is quite the diverse audience!! Special super times shout out to everyone who has visited from all around the world!! It's incredible to think that the things that I have to say are read by people so far apart! I guess that's the reality of the internet... But it's hard for me to wrap my head around because when I was little and the internet was something magical and mystical that was primarily used to anger others in the house who wished to use the phone. Screeeeeeeee baaaaaaa ca dun ca dun naaaaaaaaa (That was the dial up sound in case you couldn't tell) and if I wanted to write something for other's to see I'd have to rent a plane and fly it over the city like the wicked witch of the west. But I didn't and lucky for me because here we are!

I do realize that this post may seem a little pointless but it isn't! It is an official welcome from me to everyone reading this from wherever you may be in the world right now. I welcome you :) ...to munchkin land falalalalala...

Alright that's about it for now! I'm interested in getting to know you readers so please leave a comment letting me know what's on your minds! If you don't feel the need to share your thoughts with the entire world you can still leave a comment just be sure to let me know you don't want it published and I guarantee it'll be my eyes only :)


In closing. We are now closed.
Ciao!

Paradigm Shift

Let's talk about something out of the ordinary here. Something potentially life changing. Something so basic it affects all of us in every single aspect of our lives. Let's talk about the power of negativity and positivity and how it can potentially change all of our lives for the better.

Perhaps you've heard about the movie (or the novel) 'The Secret'. This is all about wanting something bad enough that the universe will give it to you. Most of us would read this and automatically assume that it's nonsense. However, this movie made me think about my own life and the course of events on any given day. I began to realize how negative my thoughts had become as I got older. How the things I worried about going wrong in my life are going wrong, how the things I dread come true and how the things that keep me up at night seem unsolvable. The message of this movie was bollocks on the surface but let's read between the lines here. Let's take a look at the message they are trying to get across because when we do we see evidence of it everywhere. I want you to think about your thoughts. Are you thinking about what you want in life? What you don't want? What can go wrong? What has gone wrong? Well stop. These are all negative emotions. If you truly want something then imagine you have it. Imagine the feeling of satisfaction and happiness now that you've finally accomplished your goal or your dream. Don't imagine the work you need to do to get there. Don't imagine the hardships, imagine that one single moment when you've done it. For example let's say you want that promotion at work. You spend all your time thinking about how much you want it but it isn't working. Why is that? You are so focused on want that you aren't thinking about have. Stop thinking about how much you want it and close your eyes and pretend you've gotten that promotion. Feel that pride, satisfaction and happiness. Don't think about the fact that you're only pretending. Don't think about the fact that you haven't actually gotten the promotion. Just sit there and embrace those good positive emotions associated with it. The theory is that subconsciously we are always trying to validate our emotions. If we are worried about missing the bus we will miss the bus, if we are certain we'll catch it then we'll catch it. Likewise if you are experiencing the emotions associated with that promotion you will do everything necessary to attain it.

The theory presented in the movie is basically the same. However, they focus more on energy. The more energy you project the more you receive. If you project negativity you receive negative energy. If you project positive energy you will receive it. This is known as the law of attraction. But what are your thoughts and emotions but different frequencies of energy. Therefore it stands to reason that if I think about my desires enough and I project that image in which I've acquired it, the universe and my own subconscious will do everything it can to validate and attract that which I desire. It's a wonderful thought. It opens up your mind to  an entirely new way of thinking. There are those who would automatically dismiss it and that's fine. But there are also those who are skeptical and try it only to have it fail. Why is that? Because you don't believe it and the universe will validate that.

I feel like I'm very open minded as is my friend (we watched the movie together) and we were incredibly intrigued by this. So we went to the coffee shop. For those non-Canadians we have this think up here called roll up the rim. Basically you get a coffee and you roll up the lip of the cup and either win or lose. You could win many different prizes (coffee, money, cars, doughnuts etc.) but it's a running joke with us that we always lose. So today we decided before we went in to get our coffees we would put this to the test. He sat there with his eyes closed and imagined himself winning. I sat there and did nothing, I consciously expected to lose and he expected to win even though he never has. So we get our coffees and we're sitting there discussing this and he finishes and rolls up the rim. He won, I didn't. Coincidence? Perhaps. But what's the harm in believing positivity and prosperous thoughts attract the things we want and dream of.

If you've read this I thank you. If you aren't convinced that's a shame and I urge you watch this movie (it can be found on Netflix) if not for the metaphysical message then the self help message which is incredibly empowering.

~Sending out happy thoughts to you!~

Iran, Nuclear threat?

So like most of the world I've been following the various events taking place in the middle east. Notably, Iran. I've been following this story closely because not only is it incredibly fascinating it's also incredibly similar to something that happened about ten years ago. Remember the Bush Administration? Remember when they cried about Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction? Remember how there weren't actually any weapons of mass destruction yet the war continued on for another ten years? Remember?? Or have we all forgotten. History is repeating itself in front of our very eyes and it looks like we're stupid enough to fall for it again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Wake up people! Iran isn't that incredibly stupid that they would risk an all out nuclear war with the U.S. They know that there is no way in hell they would win that war.

Then you have Israel crying for help because a nuclear Iran is a threat to them. Did you catch that last part? TO THEM! Not to us, to them. Why do we in the west feel like we need to meddle in the affairs of the rest of the world? What business do we have to tell them what to do and how to do it? As far as I'm concerned we don't. If Israel is worried then let them worry. They're grown ups, they should be able to defend themselves. As a sovereign nation that has been around for awhile now you would think they'd be able to handle this themselves.

I'm going to end with a little bit of advice to all my fellow neighbours to the south. Think back to the beginning of the Iraq war and think back to the whole you dug yourselves into. A bloody, messy, lengthy EXPENSIVE war that destabilized an entire nation and turned an entire race of people against you. Was it worth it? Is it worth doing again?

Just something to think about

Chris
